Kaiser drops TIME ZONE to Prague???

Noticed a strange problem. Kaiser automaticly changes time zone from GTM London to GTM +1 Prague. It happens about every 45min. Regional Settings are set up for English (United Kingdom). Two of additional programs are TOMTOM and Sage ACT!.
Any thoughts???

Check in Settings/Phone/Time Zones; if "Automatic change time zone & clock" is checked, uncheck it. It may be that your local cell tower has the wrong time zone setting, and your phone picks this up & sets its timezone accordingly.

Thanks, will try that...

I heard this is due to the use of the AGPS!?

I have also read on another site that it could be a small bug in the QuickGPS downloading application that changes the timezone to GMT+1 when it grabs GPS data. It does seem a little strange that it is doing it every 45 minutes for you, unless you're continually running the QuickGPS app.
Hope this helps,

That is the most common cause I think, our units at work do that. A lot (all?) of the Vodafone towers seem to set GMT+1 if you have tower sync turned on but keep the right actual time.
This is a 'feature' on most Windows Mobile devices not just the Kaiser (my TyTN, 200+ Wizards and a dozen or so Vox's do it). I have seen it on other phones that tower sync also having the problem.

I don't think it's QuickGPS -- I run it frequently and my time zone has never changed from US Eastern.

It *is* QuickGPS - I can reproduce it by simply running a manual update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1513879&posted=1#post1513879

Strange, I just checked with mine and it doesn't do anything but downloading the data for gps. Do you use it over gprs/3g/hsdpa or wi-fi ?

I was doing it over WiFi - but usually it would happen when using activesync wired to the PC.
Have just read over at TracyandMats:
Go in to Phone > Options > Time Zone and turn off the Automatic Change Time Zone and Clock setting.
That *has* worked for me - I can now run QuickGPS without it changing the timezone....

Just got my TyTn II. And I am on Paris/Madrid time zone ( I live in Amsterdam) and I haven't had the Time zone problem yet. I use Quick GPS and let also My iGO sync the time with the GPS time automatically. No problem whatsoever...

How To Fix The Time Loss Issue

Hello i have a T-Mobile Wing with the last available rom from them and everytime i turn my cellphone off the time gets behind , sometimes its a few minutes , but sometimes it gets behind with a considerable amount of time.
I Downloaded a fix from the htc website but it didn't fixed my problem.
Any Suggestions guys
Thx in Advance.

What version of Windows Mobile do you have?
Disable Automatic Day Light Savings, I hope I'm not mistaken, but either on WM5 or WM6 it was under Comms Manager->Phone Settings....

try Windows Update
Did you already try Start-> settings -> system -> Windows Update? There should be a Microsoft Corp. Extended DST Update available. Or try, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx for your phone and http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst for your computer.

I installed the windows update already im running wm6 but everytime i turn off the phone, the timezone gets changed from gmt -4 that is my current time zone to gmt +1 and sometimes it remains in gmt -4 but it doesnt have the correct time.

AT&T Tilt & ActiveSync v4.5 Problems - constantly running, and unresolved items

AT&T Tilt & ActiveSync v4.5 Problems - constantly running, and unresolved items
I'm currently running..
- AT&T Tilt (Windows Mobile 6)
- Windows XP Professional SP2
- ActiveSync v4.5
I've been having two problems running ActiveSync v4.5 with the AT&T Tilt.
1) Constant Syncing. It seems like ActiveSync v4.5 wants to constantly sync, even when there are no changes. And when ActiveSync is running, my AT&T Tilt definitely slows down in performance. So a typical problem would be: I'm talking on the phone via bluetooth headset, and reading off information from my AT&T Tilt. Then ActiveSync will kick in, and now the AT&T Tilt becomes slow and unresponsive.
2) Unresolved Items. When I edit & save a MS Word file on my laptop, but don't close the file, ActiveSync tries to sync the file, but ends up with an unresolved item. In order to resolve the item, I have to close the MS Word file, and then maually tell ActiveSync to resolve the unresolved items. With previous Pocket PCs and ActiveSync versions, I was able to edit & save files, without accumulating these unresolved items.
Are there any adjustments, tweaks, patches, hacks, or freeware that can solve the above two issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do the following:
Settings > Personal tab > Phone > Time Zone tab > uncheck/disable the "Automatic change time zone and clock" feature. All this does is automatically adjust your time zone to the one you are currently in, disabling it will just mean that you will have to manually change your time zone if you leave the one you are currently in. I don't know why this causes Active Sync to randomly run, but it does. I shut mine off a few days ago, and haven't had Active Sync turn on for me a single time since then.

Well, ActiveSync still seems to occasionally run itself, but the process seems to be much quicker.
Overall, it's an improvement

Australian Daylight Savings problem

Since DST has started in Australia my O2 xda IIi runs 1 hour behind my PC. Every time I sync, the time changes. I've turned off the time sync in Activesync but now my appointments are out by 1 hour between my PC and xda. This happened earlier this year (end of DST) but it was only for 1 week so I put up with it.
Now the changes are 3 weeks at start of DST and 2 weeks at end of DST. These are also permenant, so each year I'll have this problem.
Does anyone know how to change the DST start and end dates in Windows Mobile 2003. Microsoft have updates for Mobile 5 & 6, but not 2003.
Microsoft support had me download TZEdit, which can change timezone settings but only on the PC and not on my xda.
If I can't get an update or editor, I'm willing to do a registry hack. I have a registry editor for 2003 but don't know what to change.
I would appreciate any help, thanks.

Having same problem here. Time keeps stuffing up and my alarm doesn't ring in the morning!

XDA Daylight Savings Workaround
I have the same problem with my XDA Mini and what I did to fix it was turn off the auto-sync time option in ActiveSync and then on my handheld I changed my timezone to one hour ahead - GMT+11 (Magadan). Once this was done I reset my time to the correct time.
The time was correct and all my appointments in my handheld jumped back to the correct times. I tested appointment setup both ways and they sync'd OK.
Hope this helps. Cheers.

I Have an Unlocked HTC Touch Cruise (polaris).
I am in Argentina and the same thing with the DST happend here. The problem for me is not the Time Zone, the problem is that the GPS uses the time to function properly, so first it delays about 30 - 40 minutes to find out the "correct" time from the satellites, and after that, it automatically adjust my time, so i have it wrong again....
Is there any way to change the registry to tell the system that i am in Daylight Saving Time?
Thank you all...

Diamond DST Broken - So Cal

Hey all, I realize this is my 1st post, I've been without my PC for quite sometime.
I recently got a Diamond for both myself and wife, we have both flashed to the NEW sprint 2.00 ROM and we're both suffering from this DST bug.
We're both set back to Mountain Time after we start the phone. We've tried to set the correct time zone, then press the update time button and it resets it back to mountain which appears to be default now for some reason. I've installed Advanced Configuration Manager 3.3 and I've set everything back to "Default" restarted, soft reset, removed my battey, banged my against the sharp corner of my desk and nothing.
I did however get a new PRL update to 60651, I dun think that would affect it but who knows? anyone? Please help , for the amount of money we paid the auto time update feature should work.
I'm with Sprint, in Orange Ca.

Thanks for this forum, since being a Diamond owner, I've found this forum to be priceless.

Its not a bug but some features that you activated or is activated by default after your flashing. To resolve your issue, go to phone settings>time zones> and uncheck "Automatic change time zone and clock". This should allow you to save your timezone.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I've had to do that, Ultimately this isn't something I want to continue doing.
Simply put, This is an expensive phone. Everything should work properly.
I'm trying to edit the registry and make sure all the settings for GMT_OFFSET are correct. Trouble is I have two Diamonds that are incorrect.
What's even more confusing is why in God's green Earth would the phone default to Mountain Time after a sync or a restart?

You do this once and it is set, at least mine. This setting is conserved even after sync and restart.
One hypothesis that I have, is that when you set it for automatic time zone retrieval, the phone requests the time zone setting from your operator and if the latter has wrong time zone, your phone just use this information. I think that the time zone error is not with the phone but the operator diffusing wrong information.
This happens to me only when we had the DST change, the phone keeps going to the old time that is 1 hour earlier.
Just try this:
enabled "Automatic change time zone and clock", your time will be wrong as before even if you try to set manually your timezone and clock. Now turn on flight mode to disable your phone function and set manually good timezone and clock. It stay correct and doesn't revert back to the problem you were having. This demonstrates that the "Automatic change time zone and clock" settings is retrieve from your operator and maybe DST has not been taken in consideration by them.

Yes I've tried that. When you say operator do you mean my carrier?

Its Sprint in your case. I think its your carrier though here we call it operator

So it seems that nothing can be done. 400
dollar phone that can't keep time. Thanks for the help anyway guys

I'm seriously the only person to have been affected by this? I've hard reset just now and I'm right back to mountain time zone. I click synchronize time/update and...sigh
Is everyone with a Diamond just ok with leaving the button unchecked? A 50 dollar metropcs phone can keep time correctly, what gives?
I've had my operator take me out of the system , reprovision me, tried all the outdated (not for my OS or version but did it anyway) DST update patches from microsoft.
Could it be the ROM "Leaked Sprint 2.00?"

try installing this cab...its a daylight savings cab issued by Microsoft...it may fix it.

Diamond DST
Hello.
This is my first post here although I've been lurking for quite some time now. So far I've found the forum very helpful. Thanks
Anyway, I've recently emailed HTC support about some problems I've had with my appointments being an hour off after I sync it with my PC. They've emailed me this patch to install on my phone, and so far it's worked swimmingly. I'm sharing it here just in case any of you have been having the same issues as well.
