I am running the stock AT&T Tilt, without any of the bloatware (having hit soft reset and aborting the installation of the extra CABS).
While I didn't think we needed to run the Microsoft DST fix, I found that phone is not reporting the correct time vis-a-vis OggSync, as I try to sync with my google calendar.
When I applied the DST fix, and then did the additional steps - go into Clock, set to a DIFFERENT time zone, close out of Clock, say OK to knowing that it will change appt times, etc. Returning to today screen. Giving the system a moment to adjust to new time zone. Go back into Clock, set to CORRECT time zone, close out of Clock, say OK to knowing that it will change appt times, etc. Returning to today screen, and letting system readjust to correct time. Then, DST is set and OggSync reports that the DST registry setting is correct.
Here is the problem: Each time I soft re-set, it loses the DST registry setting reading. I have to go back to the Clock and do the hocus-pocus changing of time zones to get it to read correctly.
I can't be the only one having this problem, can I? Can anyone suggest what I may be missing? Is there something that ATT added in one of the CABS that fixes this that I may be missing?
Please, if you can, wise gurus....HELP!!!
You might try turning off the Automatic Time Zone detection, which is under Settings > Phone > Time Zone. See if that fixes it.
According to MS, WM6 doesn't need the DST patch. Both my phones, 8525 & Tilt changed times without the patch.

You might need to install the DST patch on your PC, not your Tilt.
On this link you will find the patch for your PC:

Thanks all for the replies.
I am not using a PC, so this isn't coming from that area.
My Tilt IS reporting the correct time and made the adjustment at 2 am on last Sunday.
The issue is that when OggSync (which is used to sync with Google Calendar) READS the registry settings for the time zone, they aren't there (or something like that, I think). The same issue happens when using SyncMyCal, another way of syncing with Google Calendar.
Is ANYONE syncing successfully directly with Google Calendar and has solved this problem? Or anyone else discovering issues?
It is weird. The phone is fine (time zone wise), but now its not just a soft reset. It seems that each time I open OggSync, I have to go through the little change-timezone-dance.
Any other thoughts?

Thank you very much for this tip! I never would have thought to look there for the problem I was experiencing, but UNCHECKING the Automatic Time Zone detection as you suggested solved the problem for me. I was this close <holds fingers pretty close together> to hard-resetting my PDA to attempt to combat the issue, and your suggestion saved me!
Thanks again.

The time zone keeps changing. I using the 2.3 ROM. I keep resetting it and it resets itself. My Today screen shows appointments off by an hour (I am in the Eastern time zone) but when you select the appointment the calendar shows the correct time. Madding.
What is going on that allows the time zone to revert to Indiana?
It's the new feature of Auto-timezone setting. Just uncheck it. It always default to Indiana after reboot. If your time zone keep changing, it's likely one of the cell tower near you has incorrect time zone setting.
Do a search on automatic time zone update.
Cingular doesn't know how to set the time zone properly on its towers.
It's a known issue.
If you had searched you would have found the answer because it's been answered about 1000X times already. It's a known issue that some towers broadcast the wrong time zone.
Go to start > settings > phone > time zones tab and disable the "auto update time zone & date" function.
Your device will sync with your PC's clock at next sync anyway.
Thank you very much including the scolding. I've spent alot of time scouring this forum and others and never saw that was an issue. Thanks again.
I have noticed the following time related problem with my AT&T tilt. Yesterday, it was showing incorrect system time: approximately 2 hours 20 min off. I then synchronized it with my PC via active sync. Today it was 5 min off (compared to the same PC), which is too much for one day. I have searched the Internet to see if anybody has experienced a similar problem and could find only that similar things happen when you “lock” the phone – which I don’t do.
Does anyone know why this might happen and how to fix it? I am not sure if it is a software or a hardware problem, as I have installed some software on the phone.
Also, I was thinking to find a program that would run in the background and once in a while, say every 4 hours, would automatically sync time with the network time (I’d rather not use programs that sync time via internet) – could somebody provide a link to something like that?
i noticed the same thing. maybe its a problem with the network because don't these phones sync times to att? anyway i just changed it and it syncs with the time on my comp.

I have the same problem. What did you change? My TyTN II displays the wrong time, is there a setting to have the clock synched by GPS? Thanks!
There is an option in the Phone setting to sync the time from network, that fixes the whole problem of moving betweeen time zones and everything. Keeps my time accurate.

Thanks! That's the setting I had to DISABLE to keep my time accurate. The time on the network I'm on is off by 7 minutes, and that was driving me crazy.
weird thing happened to me today. the time at the top randomly changed from digital to analog! now i cant figure out how to change it back. i did a soft reset but it stayed the same. how do i change it back to the digital display? thanks.
edit: figured it out
The last thread i had created was locked bcuz an answer was given. but i dont think its working.
activesync keeps turning on automatically i was told to create a server, did, create schedule for manual, did, then delete it & it'd work. that didnt work. so quick goat thinking, i figured i'd have to reset the phone, did a soft, still not working. so i even recreated the server & set the schedule to manual and didnt delete it. well activesync still comes up automatically...did a soft reset again & still nothing. im at a loss as to how to get activesync from automatically coming up when im not syncing and when im not using wifi or wireless internet. its seemingly for no reason at all.
fyi, i have noticed that it doesnt come up anywhere near as often as it had previously. previously it was prolly 8-10 times a day activesync would start up on its own. now its more like 2-3 times a day. still frustrating & annoying nontheless.
thanks for the help.
What is your question?
I too am confused, but are you saying ActiveSync is running on your phone without you starting it? If that's the case, go into your Settings -> Phone -> Time Zone tab and uncheck the "Automatic change time zone and clock" setting. Should work.

yep that did it...thanks!
I have a problem in the last time. My watch constantly just go ahead for 12-13min. I set the regional settings but it is happening again . How to fix ?
Maybe your operator gives a bad automatic time update for your phone..
try to go into phone setting, disable auto time sync and see if the problem still occurred.
Thanks for answer...I suppose that's the problem, but I do not know to find "auto time sync" on my Kaiser.
When SIM card are extracted, time is OK for a long time...When phone is on "flight mode" time is OK also.
which build are you using?
well, since I always use android now, I also forgot where to find it
It was located in phone setting, but I don't know where the exact location is.
but if you sure you can't find it anywhere, its likely you have to install a dialer which has the setting.
My friend once had suggested me about phillux's dialer, maybe you'll find it here. But I've never tested it.
Good luck
Hi !
I just installed this rom :
Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Dec.22.7z
Everything works fine, but everytime I reboot, the time changes. I am in switzerland, which has the same time as Paris, so I have selected Paris GMT+1, but when I reboot, I always have to set the actual time again and again, it doesn't keep my time...
I also tried with "Get carrier time", but the time is not right.
2nd problem is with the keyboard, I cant find the swiss keyboard, so some keys don't type what they should...
What can I do ?
These answers were already given in the EnergyROM topic in post 6.
Keyboard issue
Wrong physical keyboard configuration: If you are using AT&T or T-Mobile, and you are experiencing issues with the physical keyboard key configuration (FN not working, for example), you need to run the Carrier Provisioning that can be found at Start > Tools. Another alternative is to use a key remapper program such as this one.

Time issue
Wrong time: Several people outside of the US reported problems with time after the US changed to/from daylight savings time (aka summer time and winter time). If your clock is one hour (or more) ahead or behind, do not use "get carrier time" and disable "automatic change time zone and clock" in personal -> phone settings.

The time issue might might be related to something else, but this is worth a try. If this doesn't fix it, try another rom so you can be sure that the time issue is rom-related. You can also try updating your radio-rom, but I doubt if that would be a solution.
