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.

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.

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.
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.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!
I just recieved a text message from ATT saying that the new update to 6.1 is out. I know that ATT is always the last to the party with updates, but I just wanted to confirm this. I have been trying all the latest ROMS that have been released for the past couple of months and just flashed HyprerDragon III latest yesterday. I am not a chef, so can someone tell me how to verify which flavor of windows 6.1 ROMS are cooked on?
Thanks...
If you follow the link provided in the text message, you can scroll all the way down to find the latest update, which is:
AT&T Tilt WM 6.1 Backlight HotFix
After the WM 6.1 update for the AT&T Tilt, the backlight timer will automatically revert to the default time out of 10 seconds regardless of any custom settings designated by the user. This HotFix will correct this issue and prevent the custom backlight time out setting from reverting to 10 seconds. Note: If a Hard Reset is performed on the device, this HotFix will need to be reinstalled on the device.

In fact, to save everybody time who is just reading this saying, "Yeah, I got that text message today too, I should check it out." I'll upload the file.
I just got it today/yesterday at like 4pm. Here's the link they gave me.

I jsut did my update without the bloatware and it seems that my memory is less than before. My storage is 113 and Program is 85? I swear Program memory used to be alot higher? Any thoughts
The issue I am having is that if I add an all day event in Outlook 2007, on my Kiaser, it adds it a day early. If I add the appointment on the Kiaser, in Outlook, it spreads it over 2 days and states that it is not an all day event.
Have only just noticed that it's doing this. I have several appointments, both re-occuring and 'ad-hoc' that are all fine. I searched the forum and the thread below seems to be about the closest to the issue I'm having. I have installed the dst cab the thread referres to but to no avail. I don't really want to do a hard reset either if I can help it.

Therefore, atm, good friday according to the computer is on a Friday, but my kaiser thinks it's on Thursday, Easter Sunday according to the computer is on Sunday but my kaiser thinks it's on Saturday etc etc. Anyone else still having issues like this? I know that these particular dates I shouldn't have to remind myself but hey, I tend to forget things when I don't! lol
All other appointments seem to be ok.
For info, I am using, Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 (Works computer)
Active Sync 4.5
WM 6 Professional
ROM: 1.56.161.4
Radio: 1.27.12.11
Protocol: 22.45.88.07H
Standard Vodafone ROM that came with the device.
I have now also disabled the Automatic time update on the phone too.
Any help would be mucho appreciated.
I noticed the same thing on my Kaiser with Outlook 2007 and the only thing that fixed it was to deselect the automatic change of time-zones and time under telephone options. (My Windows Mobile 6.1 is Italian, so I don't know what yours says in English).
When this option was tagged, the time-zone on my phone was shown as GMT+1 Prague, Budapest. When I reset this manually to GMT+1 Berlin, Rome, the problem disappeared. I don't know why two different descriptions of the same time-zone should make a difference, nor why my Italian provider (TIM) should cause the phone to choose Prague and Budapest over Berlin and Rome, but this was the answer for me.
It's a strange one. Mine has always been set on GMT London, Dublin
Actually, thinking about it, about a week or so ago, the device kept loosing about 15 mins on the clock, I kept adjusting it back and eventually I had a pop up message stating that the DST had been up dated. Strange, as I hadn't actually fiddled with that. I guess that this could be the problem although I never checked/can't remember if my all day events were ok before this happended
Looking more and more likely for a hard reset.....
Sorted, I ended up doing a hard reset and did tick the box on the pda for the dst auto update. everything seems all ok so far.
