Diamond self-syncing time to internet/carrier ? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Have a problem with my Diamond, its set to 15mins faster than real time (habit of mine) and only occasionally when it syncs with my Vista64 PC the time reverts to "real time".
I'm not sure if its syncing the time to the internet or via my phone carrier, tried to fix this under phone options on the diamond and activesync options to no avail.
This is driving me nuts as I'm using the phone as an alarm clock and it won't be pretty if I wake 15mins late for work...

Errrmmm...
I'm not sure what 'problem' you're stating here? If you're complaining that your PC corrects the time on your device when you sync, then you don't have a 'problem' with your device - that's what syncing does (amongst other things)!
.. or are you saying that you want it to correct the time, and it isn't?

Well to clarify :
PC clock and phone clock is 15mins faster
OCCASIONALLY (its done this in about 1 per 4-5 syncs) the phone reverts back to "normal" time (i.e. goes back 15mins). The PC clock is still 15mins faster.
This leads me to believe that the phone is updating the time either from the carrier or the internet (its set to use the PC's internet connection when synced)

To keep phone from syncing with PC time:
In ActiveSync on PC, right click on "Windows PC", click the "Settings" button. Uncheck "Synchronize Pocket PC date and time when connecting."

Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately I'm running Vista64 and Windows Mobile center doesn't have that function, I've tried all the options looking for something similar for the past 2 days....

Thats odd - I always thought it synced with the PC's time.

Yeah I know, I've checked that extensively, its 15mins slower than my PC time.
I'll try and see if turning off auto-adjust for timezone/daylight savings helps

Need help! Kaiser connects to GPRS even though it is not supposed to!

Dear Forum Members,
Maybe some of you can help me out. Here is what's happening:
The Kaiser's GSM radio is switched on and the unit behaves totally normal. From time to time I sync the Kaiser via AS 4.5/USB with my desktop computer and MS exchange (as well via the desktop computer). After all syncs have been completed successfully I disconnect the USB cable and the trouble starts.
After about 2 to 5 minutes the Kaiser starts to build up a GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA connection to the internet and tries to sync itself with exchange, even though it is not supposed to do so. All exchange settings are switched to manual sync, MS Push is switched off. Disconnecting GPRS results in a re-connection 2 to 5 minutes later. Stopping email programm, Async and connection manager on the kaiser does not fix the problem, the GPRS connection is again established.
Only work around for me at the moment: placing Kaiser next to computer speakers on my desk so that I hear that the phone is showing unwanted activity; if it does: soft reset.
Has anyone any idea what could cause this behavior? As mentioned above, it only happens after syncing the Kaiser with exchange, all exchange sync modes are set to manual.
This really did cost me some bucks while being abroad recently since I did not notice that GPRS was on all the time.
Thank you all!

did u try some system tool to see what processes are the kaiser runing? Try to see the running processes before and after the sync, maybe the sync starts some process that is causing your problems.

ActiveSync: 5 times automatically with recurring ActiveSync tone from Tilt...

So I connect my Tilt to my laptop via usb & then it proceeds to do approximately 5 consecutive complete synchronizations. If I leave my phone connected via usb, the phone will make the ActiveSync tone (which I chose) seemingly randomly once every 2 - 10 minutes even though in the ActiveSync window on my laptop there is no change or movement from the previously completed synchronization (all 5 of them ).
htc is stumped, we arrived at the last resort of just disabling the tone altogether. I think that's kind of lame...raising the white flag, so to speak. I kind of like the tone even though it isn't vital.
Help me out here, guys. Any ideas?
Am I the only one that's experienced this?
Any ideas?
Can anyone help me out?
i think i have the same. while I am listening to streaming radio, i hear that activesync sound from time to time. but the phone is not synchronizing at that time.
anyways, there is nothing wrong in the end right?! it does not bother me.
what does it do you?

Post #1 in this thread.
I got the same problem. Find any solution ?
Same problem, would like to know the underlying cause.
When you phone is plugged in, it immediately Syncs, then every 5 minutes or so It Resyncs.
If you are running XP, I assume you would be using ActiveSync you can turn off the sounds all together.
On your PC. Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Sounds (Tab) -> Scroll all the way to the bottom find Micorsoft Active Sync, Click the Connect Confirm, Set to None in the Drop down, Same the With Disconnect Confirm. Ok and that should stop the sound.

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.

Hi guys,
thanks a lot. This did work for me.

Activesync randomly disconnects....

I've been putting up with this since I got my Diamond, but now enough is enough
Has anyone experience Activesync disconnecting there device after a random period of time?
The device connecs and syncs - no problems - but after what might be 5mins, or 35mins (randomly does this...), it just disconnects!!
Appears to have nothing to do with charging (could be only partially charged or fully) or actual syncing process. Not a real issue as it still syncs initially and even when disconnects it still charges up from the USB but...this appears to be a flaw with the s/w of diamond or WM6.1 (to me...)
If this is an issue perhaps someone from HTC might read this and note same!
Happens to me too. Not all the time, not often... exactly random, as you said. Quite annoying
I'm sure there can't be just two of us! This happens to me for nearly every connection, the difference is sometimes its in 5min, sometimes 5hrs
BTW, this happens with both my work and home PC......
Surely there are others with this issue???
now i cannot even connect but when i can never it will never doconect except when you turn the screen off
Hi,
I have the same disconnect problem, varies every time.
Looks like I'm not alone... Every 5 mins I need to turn off and on my screen t to reconnect, no matter at home or at office.... you guys are right... ANNOYING
Not sure if this might work but in Device manager > USB Hub properties > untick Allow computer to turn off this device to save power.

Thanks will try this {USB Root Hub} as it was actually clicked on....let you know how it goes!!
I haven't got any problem with Active Sync, both with Exchange server and with the desktop Outlook. Are you syncing with XP or Vista? I found Vista is rock solid when it comes to ActiveSync using their Mobile Device Center.

sounds like the device is turning off (not just the screen off)...this will of course disconnect ASync
OK, USB power off is not the issue here as with power manegement off it still disconnects.....
....anyone familiar with asynckiller? Built into SwiftB ROMs and is always running...what does this optimise? Could it be the culprit
Asynckiller the culprit...testing now...
could be getting closer now....I reckon its this Asynckiller built into the ROM
see here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386948
Have shut it down with task manager and see if the sync holds....stay tuned
hey guys i've had the same problem too. the answer to your question is simple: if the screen turns off, the device goes to sleep, the activesync connection is terminated. simple as that. in most cases however, my diamond never goes to sleep mode when in activesync... so if yours does, that's a newer problem
Hi,
I have the same problem with activesync by usb. This is very annoying especially if you have to transfer large files, like maps with TomTom-Home.
It is not the standby-mode which causes the problem. Even without going into standby the connection get loss.
My solution for the problem is to use bluetooth for active sync. I never get disconnected even I stay connected for hours!
I assume it must have to do something with the usb-controller. When I connect my device as mass-storage with my linux computer and transfer much/large files, I can see a lag in transfer after some time. The transfer stops for some seconds and then it goes on again.
Maybe this is the reason why activesync lose the connection
Have ruled out asynckiller....this is not the issue. Brief correspondance with SwiftB and he thinks this issue has been around as long as WM6.1 as been i.e. MS Activsync issue (another one!!) oh so frustrating
I was having this same issue when using a generic cradle I sent off for to sit my HTC Touch Diamond in. I've gone back to the cable that comes in the box with it and suddenly no more disconnections! Are you all using cradles too?
Yep. Have the same problem. Using Vista and 6.1. It wasn't a problem with XP and WM 5, but has appeared with 6.1.
I don't think it is Vista, as it also happens on another machine with XP and 6.1. Also not to do with the power saving, screen sleep or 'phone sleep. I disabled these in turn and the 'phone still disconnects (it does seem to be the 'phone, not the PC - both Vista and XP work fine with two other WM5 devices, although Microsoft is as confusing as ever by saying that AS is no longer required with Vista, whilst selling WM that always requires AS, thus ensuring that AS on the 'phone has to sync with Mobile Connection Centre).
It has got better and worse during the 8 weeks I've had the 'phone - not clear whether this is ROM or application related, as I'm changing so many things at once. Clean ROM install seems to help, but then the problem reappears when all apps are back on the 'phone. Maybe it's not getting a necessary data connection signal from the PC? I'm running it from a Dell M1330 USB2 port.

Time Sync Problem

I have a Windows 7 PC and a Kaiser with WinM6.5. I have disabled time sync on both of these.
Whenever I connect my Kaiser to PC and sync it, the time on Kaiser gets changed by exactly one hour more than the PC. If I change it back and connect the device again, it still happens. I've tried changing ROM on my kaiser but of no avail.
How do I fix this?
PS: I'm based in Pakistan. Here we have DST applied so that clocks are forwarded by one hour. That means the time which appears on Kaiser after syncing is offset by two hours without DST and one hour with DST.
Make sure the TZ is the same on the PC and on the Kaiser. Try re-synch and see if the problem it still does the same thing. I had the same problem a while back, and it turned out my PC was displaying the right time but set to a different TZ.
