sync'in issues - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

so i've had a look around and not been able to come up with anything
im sure this is a dumb question and has a quick answer but.......
when ever i plug my tytn into my computer and sync, the time displayed on my phone goes back 1 hour... im currently on GMT +9 (perth Western australia) and on DLS. my computer shows the correct time, so im not sure whats going on....
annoying having alarms go off an hour early if i forget to revert back <3 sleep
thanks in advance

Are you using ActiveSync or Mobile Device Centre? If you have mobile Device Centre, ensure you are using the latest version (6.1). As, believe it or not, this isn't automatically updated.

im using microsoft active sync 4.5.0

It's a setting that it copies the time from the server. (the pc what is connected)

Daylight Savings Update
I'm guessing that your phone hasnt had the Daylight Savings patch installed to reflect the recent changes for Daylight Savings in WA & other countries. I actually found the patch by accident when I browsed to the Windows Mobile website on my TyTN II although havent installed it as I am not affected by the changes here in Sydney.
I have attached the WM6 patch for PPC touchscreen devices to this post however if you need the WM5 or WM2003 patch for other PPC's or Smartphones you will need to browse to ttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/default.aspx on either your PC or device and follow the steps to download the patch. Note that the page is designed for browsing from the device so it will display in a narrow band at the left of the page if viewed from a PC.
Cheers,
Chris

downloaded and installed, hopefully it'll solve all hiccups
many many many thanks for your help and efforts

Daylight savings time patch

Has anyone both installed the patch that modifies the daylight savings time setting on their device AND verified that appointment during affected times (this week) have been corrected?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx
I do sync with Outlook and have tried the PC centric Outlook method as well as the PPC centric method. Both have failed. The software installs on the PC side but never gets to the point of identifying calendar items that need updated. On the PPC it installs fine but appointments are still 1 hour off this week.
Getting really frustrated with this.
What do you mean "appointments are still 1 hour off this week?"
The DST update shouldn't make any changes to appointment times, just adjust when the DST change takes place so that it "hits" on the right day. An appointment that shows up at 8:00AM every tuesday should show that time both before and after applying the update.
Here goes the CAB

i thought WM6 already fixed the DST issue...i haven't had to change anything...my time is still correct...we'll see what happens this coming weekend...
I read on Microsoft's site that WM6 had updated this, but this past weekend my clock went back an hour. I had to manually move it up an hour. This weekend I guess I'll have to move it back.
Or move to Hawaii or Arizona where we don't have to deal with such tomfoolery.

Thanks for the patch, I have been bothering by this time issue for the past two days.

@PerfAlbion: Any change to the time zone which is effectively what the DST change does will affect appointment times. See milesahead's post as well.
So those of you who installed the patch. What was the exact effect on the clock time and appoinment times. Heck maybe it is working correctly for me and I just have to manually modify times. As I understand all of the MS documentation if you take the PC/Outlook centric approach Outlook will walk you through some dialogs that identify each affected appointment and ask you what to do with it. No mention of such a wizard type corrrection using the cab file and the PPC centric correction approach. Thanks!

hey, i have the same problem... but my wm6 is actually from ROM cooked in this forum....
anyway, i have installed the patch... didnt work for me... whenever i connects my ppc to pc... activesync change my ppc clock back one hour... i am in PST timezone... anyone has solution??
I don't know why it's only hit me today, but it really screwed my entire day up with such a mixed up schedule. I'm showing up were I'm not supposed to be an hour early and missing where I'm supposed to be at then. My time is also off (faster) by an hour, which messed things up even more.
I've applied the patch from MS, but it does not do anything. It doesn't change my calendar back, nor does it change my time back an hour. I force update the time and it's correct, but after a reset, the time goes back to an hour faster. is there no solution to this simple problem??
I did not install this patch. I hoped WM6 would have actually fixed this problem...however it's Sunday morning and my phone did not fall back an hour. My computer (and my old PPC 6700 with the patch) both say 10:25am but my Tilt says 11:25am.
Should I adjust the time manually or install the patch earlier in this thread? Thanks.
My Tilt with ATT Stock ROM changed the time back one hour without the need for the patch. Does the HTC ROM has the same fix?

You still need to run the patch to fix appointment (well, if you have any).

I didn't .. My time automatically adjusted back an hour today and all my appointments are still at their correct time.
I have a Tilt with the stock Rom as well and my phone worked as it should. Went back an hour and kept all appointments and tasks at the correct times.

The Shipping HTC ROM on my TyTn II works as expected. The time rolled back and kept appointments.
my stock rom at&t tilt rolled back with no issues. Man, we were just talking about daylight savings programming issues at my local php meetup, I feel bad for y'all experiencing problems.

Have tons of appointments and they are all correct too (just checked)..
I have a Kaiser with "auto time set" disabled due to the bug that has activesync launching all the time. Mine did not roll back the clock this morning. I reset the time manually, appointments still look OK. I just applied the patch and maybe I'll set the clock/date back and test it when I get a chance.

Windows Update on ATT Tilt

Ok; So I notice that many versions of windows on the ATT Tilt have a "windows update" button. I know that this is a newer concept used with wm6.1 but is it even worth it to have it in the rom or is it just an idea that has been implimented but will not be utalized for a while? I know some cellular companies were going to try FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) updates but the main concern has always been about the customet toasting the device with a FOTA update that goes wrong.... Any ideas anyone?
as far as i know no device ever had a working win update on them
ms never implemented the server feature in their end
You should be posting your tilt questions on the kaiser forum!
I thought about putting this in the kaiser forum but to my knowledge other phones and wm6 versions have the windows update. That is why I posted here. I was hoping someone with a different device and rom may have some input. I could have fixed the title of the thread a littl better I suppose...
I know that I have it on my HTC TyTN II (non-original ROM), and that it doesn't work.
it works actually just never updates nor installs anything,must be synced to a dummy server

Microsoft put it in so they have the ability to update. They haven't used it yet but they might in the future.
when i first got my tilt i ran it out of curiosity and if i remember correctly, it found the windows mobile green theme file as an update to wm6 so there has been at least 1 update pushed out through this server that is IF my memory serves me correctly.

Ummm this is the Kaiser forum isn't it
i have only used the feature once and i see no use in it what do ever. i have only seen it being used to update the windows live program and that was the only time i saw it used. other then that i have never seen it being used for anything else.

Summer Time Calendar Problem

Can someone please help!!!
Since we started summer time here in Oz my diamond is showing the correct summer time but now all of my appointments are 1 hour earlier as if on old time.
The PC I sync with is showing correct time for PC and Outlook but the Diamond Calendar remains 1 hour earlier for everything.
Whats happened? and whats the best way to fix please.
My diamond is my lifeblood so any help would be much appreciated.
Please....anyone
I have a similar problem in Oz, but my diamond is now one hour off the correct time whenever I sync it with the PC.
Google "windows mobile daylight saving time" brings you to some microsoft fixes which may sort things out. I haven't tried it yet. Keep us posted with any solution!
Mine is the same.....as soon as I connect it via activesync my phone changes back an hour.
Once I unplug it...it goes back to the correct time.

Daylight Saving Time
This is the Microsoft Windows Mobile (Desktop Tool) update to address DST related issues in 2008 due to revised Daylight Saving Time laws in many countries.
You may need to update your Outlook version as well.

Change Time Zone
If you change your time zone to Magadan (GST +11) your calendar entries will be OK.
Thanks for your assistance Nighthawk but I have already tried both of those.
I have addressed the issue with HTC Support and their phones are running hot over this.
It is a Windows Mobile issue and not a HTC one so it needs to be addressed my Microstuffit....However HTC are working with them to get the problem fixed A.S.A.P....they are well and truly aware by the sheer volume of calls they are getting..even after the supposed "patches" to fix it.
The problem has been created by daylight saving commencing 3 weeks earlier than normal.
Expect a post in the HTC members club site soon re the fix for it.
Cheers

I figured out this workaround.. but the word workaround doesn't go down very well. It's a premium phone with premium price.. HTC and MS need to get their act together

I installed this .cab and changed back the timezone to GMT+ 10 sydney.. and it's correctly calculating the time. Sync with outlook is also working fine.
just updated 2 x Diamond's with this cab and it worked! For some reason, the cab i downloaded yesterday didn't fix the outlook issue. this one did.
didn't have an issue with my Kaiser though.. weird.
Many Thanks.
Installed that *.cab file.
Outlook calendar shows correctly
Diamond is an hour earlier on all appointments.
Have reset...still the same.

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...

Hello - And could you possibly help (Syncing mature newbie)

Hello,
I have been given (kindly) due to a dying SE750i a xdaII
I have set up the docking station and downloaded Activesync from Microsoft however when I plug in my xdaII into the dock the sync window appears with the little window informing me it is retrieving my settings with a spinning green graphic.
It has been doing this for 20 minutes now. Initially I thought it had crashed so I removed the phone and got the message telling me it cannot sync as the phone is off, so I placed the phone on again and it started to sync again.
It is charging fine,
The Activesync I downloaded is Version 4.5 from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob...ulas/eula_activesync45_1033.mspx?ProductID=76
The xdaII software seems to be ROM version
3.50b.40CS (ROM date 01/13/07)
Can anyone help me get it to connect so I can start to make the phone mine.
Managed to Sync however still think my firmware is out of date, any clues on that?
Also noticed my connection settings for MMS and also mobile web seem to be not there.
Currently using O2 can anyone help on this?
Thank you
Two things:
You have posted you have a XDA II, but this is the forum for the XDA IIi, small difference in name but big difference in what it will do. The IIi, aka Alpine, has WiFi and is stuck on WM2003, the XDA II, aka Himalaya, doesn't and isn't.
If you search on this forum elsewhere you should find a CAB file with the settings for O2, they may even be on the O2 site itself.
