Summer Time Calendar Problem - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

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.
Pain in da A$$

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.
Windows Mobile Daylight Savings page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/daylight-savings-update.mspx

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.

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.

sync'in issues

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
scott
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.
Cheers

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,

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

ActiveSync Changing My Clock to the wrong time

Hey guys,
For some reason (I'm assuming it has something to do with the recent day light savings time change), whenever I sync my phone to my computer, it bumps the phone time up an hour. The computer time is correct, but the phone is changed. I change it back on the phone, and it's fine until I sync again. Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this from happening?
You have to change the time zone on your phone to here you are, i had the same problem.

OR... once your phone is connected, click tools, options, then settings when Windows PC is highlightes, then make sure "Synchronize Pocket PC......" is NOT checked.
You can also apply this patch and see if it helps....
I think the CAB worked. Thanks a lot!

hey no prob, glad I could help out
I have a similar issue, only it just started happening after upgrading to Vista and using Mobile Device Center instead of activesync, however my phone time gets bumped up 3 hours. Both my computer and phone are set to the correct time zone. I live in the US Eastern Time Zone (GMT -5), but my phone uses a GMT-8 (US West Coast) phone number which is 3 hours behind where I am now. Not sure if that is part of the issue? Any ideas?
Check the QuickGPS is working OK, if it is not able to do the update it causes the time zone changes. Change to QUICKGPS Service to Manual mode, then the issue may not arises. I had this issue and now OK For me.

There is a "Time Zones" tab under Phone you can try unchecking the box on there.

the cab didn't work for me =( However, I've managed to solve this problem. The workaround is open MS ActivSync, then click Tools->Options->Settings-> uncheck the "Synchronize Pocket PC date and time upon connecting" That should solve the problem.

ONE REASON to downgrade back to WM 6.0

Support code 0x86000107 is really a pain in the ass. After upgrading to wm 6.1 me and many people began to experience syncronization problems. Until today 08/08/08 no one find a solution to this. After sometime you want to sync and the activesync encounters that a problem happened in the desktop, someone said it was the tasks, other said it was the notes, but the problem persists, and it is because something is wrong in the new version. I am back to wm 6.0 until the next realease.

I also had this problem but found upgrading windows mobile centre fixed this problem and haven't had it again.
chalk up 2 devices
it really is a pain in the @ss.. i had the problem on my hermes much of the year due to syncing my work and home laptops. now that i have upgraded to a kaiser a few months ago, i have the same problem all over again. from the pre-released 6.1 roms to the post... same damn error.. all i wanted was to have my complete work schedule on my home computer for easy viewing.. oh well.. until someone comes up with a fix..

i up grade my wmdc and still same problem, I belive sktools started the problem.
Same here. For me, it's one PC and Windows Live sync that cause the same error code on contacts. It's a well known issue for 6.1. I don't have sktools so it has nothing to do w/ it.

Fix is confirmed.
1. Export your personal folders to a new PST.
2. Go to control panel -> inbox -> data file management, add the new pst, make it default.
3. Open Outlook once and close it
4. Go back to the data file management and remove the old pst from the list.
5. Delete parthnership and resync.

This fixed it for me - only had to do this on one pc (chose home pc) and all has been ok now for over a Month.
See the full threda here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377823&highlight=confirmed.
Personally I've had the same prob.. but it was on WM6.0. I can't sync until I upgraded to 6.1 last week. Everything has been working fine and sync never had any probs ever since....

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...
