Clock Setting sync trouble

I got my Kaiser/Tilt set to -4 Atlantic Time zone, no daylight savings. I sync it with both my desktop & my laptop, but when I sync with my laptop my clock settings change to -4 Atlantic Time zone, with daylight savings.
Both my desktop & laptop are set to -4 Atlantic Time zone, no daylight savings, so I don't understand what's happening. I'd also like to know if there's a setting so my Tilt can get the time from the network (Like all other cellphones).

Location problem with an interesting twist

Hey guys.
Here's the interesting problem i have:
When i open google maps (and not only, this happens with the weather widget) it shows my location for a minute. After that minute it moves my position to my EXACT address in my home town that's 250 km (156 miles) away. After another minute it moves again to my current position and stays there.
To fix this i tried to look into my google profile/account settings and i don't have an address stored there. Even if i did, i would have never inserted the exact address, only the city. So its not related to this.
The next thing i did was to change my wireless network ssid because both wireless networks from home and current city have the same ssid. The assumption is that the phone stored the location of the wifi network once connected to it. That's fine, but why would it happen when the ssid of wifi network of my current location has been changed?
Factory resets don't help and this happens on 2.1 and 2.2 too.
Please give me some suggestions. Thanks.

Anyone...?

I think nexus one does store this somewhere on the phone.. because i now have problem on 2.2
Now agps wont work... i cannot locate myself if i m indoor

Tasker help?

Yesterday I set up a "work" profile in Tasker with the following settings:
Context: Cell Near (only 1 cell tower came up)
Task: Vibrate on Notify (on)
Vibrate on Ringer (on)
Wifi (on)
Exit Task: Send a text to my husband
It did put my phone into vibrate and turn the wifi on, but then halfway through the day it sent the text to my husband, resulting in a lot of confusion. The wifi also turned off at the same time. I'm assuming that I lost reception for some reason? I have 4 bars here, so I don't know why I would have lost it. I was in the same place the whole time. I can't use the GPS settings because I can't get my GPS to work at all. Working on the settings with that, but no go yet.
Any ideas on how I should set this task up and have it work correctly? The only other way (without GPS) that I can think of is something to do with the WiFi network at work... but I can't figure out how to set that up. I usually work 8-6 Monday-Thursday, so I would need it to scan for my work network between 7:50 and 8:10, and if it finds it, then turn on the work settings (vibrate and wifi on). Then when I am out of the wifi range it would need to turn vibrate and wifi off and send the text message. What I'm not sure how to do is get it to search on and off for the wifi signal, and then keep it on and change the settings when it finds the wifi signal. Can this be done in one profile, or do I need to set up multiple profiles?

If you work a regular schedule, you could just do it by time. That's what I do. All you need is a near approximation.

Yeah, that was my last resort. I was trying to avoid doing it that way because while I do work a regular schedule, there are occasional times when that schedule might change and I wanted it to automatically keep my work settings should I end up staying an hour late or something. Plus, a profile based on time would not allow for an accurate text message to go out. It is very common for me to stay 20 minutes late, and I wouldn't want it to send a text to my husband if I wasn't actually leaving at 6pm.
Great profile pic btw.

Ok, messing around with it some more and set up the following:
Work_pre profile -
Context: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu
From 7:50 to 8:10
Task: Wifi (toggle)
Work profile -
Context: Wifi Near
Task: Vibrate on Notify
Vibrate on Ringer
Wifi On
Exit Task: send text message to my husband
Any reason why this wouldn't work? I'm not sure about the first profile (work_pre) toggling the wifi... will that conflict with the work profile?
EDIT: Well, I don't know why, but it just sent a message telling my husband I was leaving work. lol Obviously that setup doesn't work either... any idea why?

Still trying to figure this out...
I set up a profile called "work test" with the following settings:
Context1: Wifi Near (toggle) my work network
Context2: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu
Context3: Time (5:30pm-5:40pm...running for 10 min, set for a couple minutes ahead of when I was testing it)
Task: Wifi On
I checked it, and sure enough it turned wifi on by itself. It stayed on until the time was up at 5:40. What I was trying to do was get it to Try to connect during that 10 minute time frame, but then stay connected once it found the network until I left the area. Guess it doesn't work like that, and I don't know what to do to make it do that. Also, everytime I let the screen lock, it turned wifi off, which I'm guessing is the reason some of my previous profile tests had sent the "leaving work" text in the middle of the day.
I've figured out I probably don't want to have wifi stay on while I'm at work, it drains the battery too fast. Is there any way to have the phone scan for my work network at intervals between 7:50-8:10am, put the phone on vibrate if it detects the work network (not connect to it, just detect it), and then scan for the work network again between 6:00-6:30pm and turn the ringer back on and send a text if it does not detect it?

[Q] Numer of wifi scans

Hey guys,
I got a question regarding the number of wifi scans while the display is on.
By accident I saw in the settings that my Phone scans every 5 seconds for new wifi devices, even if it is connected to my own device. I'm using Darky's 9.5 with DarkCore. Is there a possibility to increase the time between scans when the phone is connected to a device already or to switch the scan off.

You can set WIFI sleep policy in the advanced menu.

@V300 its not what he wants. Wifi sleep policy does nothing when the phone is on (he using it)
@OP saw somewhere either a kernel, rom, script, setting or something that set the scan interval to 60 seconds. (or someone requesting it )
just search around with that number "60" and wifi scan (rescan) etc. Some threads will popup

ok thx pagot. I will search later for it. If I will not find it I will post again.

Creating a pfofile that get triggered by other profile

Hi there,
I'm looking to create a profile that will trigger every time I'm having my weekly train commute and will compile different useful tasks for train riding like launching the Wi-Fi hotspot (so I can go online on my laptop) and mute the ringer, and some other stuff. I'm looking for some aid about about how to manage this through.
I thought about triggered this profile by using the speed data, but in that case it will launch on every ride I have, even when I'm riding my motorbike. So now I'm looking for something more sophisticated. Because I depart and arrive on regular stations and on regular times each week I want to have four new profiles - two for the the each of the two station I'm getting to and from of, for each commute occasion, setting one for the time window when I'm usually departure and one for arriving occasion. Those four will be used only as a platform. The train ride profile (a fifth one) will triggered by both of the departure profiles when I'll get to the station at the desired time and will turned off by the arriving stations profiles when I'll reach my destination station at the right time.
Doe's it make any sense? How can I pull this through?

Try WiFi near if the stations have a specific WiFi. That way, you don't need a time context.
You can use location with a time window you describe. That way, the device isn't trying to identify your location continuously outside of the time window you set.

Thanks for the answer but you didn't got me. completely. I don't have a problem to detect the station location, the problem starts when the train leave the station and I want the profile to keep going on until I arrive at my destination station.

So use a speed evaluation combined with having the WiFi in proximity.

It makes no sense, two reasons why:
1) When the train leave the station I'm loosing contact with any Wi-Fi
2) One of the reason I'm using Tasker to begin with is that I want my Wi-Fi to operate only when I'm in my home or in my workplace. The profile I want to operate on my train ride includes turning on my phone's hotspot (so I can use my laptop online during the ride). So I can't use any Wi-Fi network even if I want to.
3) I simply need to figure out a way how to trigger the "train ride" profile I want to have by other profile (station location profile in this case).

You can detect whether a WiFi network is nearby without connecting to it. You can use the WiFi's presence as the initial step to your process. Set a variable, them the exit task waits some time and a second profile looks for the variable to be set and some movement to be achieved.
Or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You could always use a shortcut, or an NFC tag or location as I suggested before.

Create four profiles based on time and location.
One that's triggered at the train station A and in the average departure time of your commute to work.
Add an enter task which sets the variable $TrainStationCommute to A.
One that's triggered at the train station B and in the average arrive time of your commute to work.
Add an enter task which sets the variable $TrainStationCommute to B.
One that's triggered at the train station B and in the average departure time of your commute to home.
Add an enter task which sets the variable $TrainStationCommute to B.
One that's triggered at the train station A and in the average arrive time of your commute to home.
Add an enter task which sets the variable $TrainStationCommute to A.
Add another profile which is triggered as soon as variable $TrainStationCommute is set.
Add an new task "Commute" to this profile. Start with an IF action and check if variable $CommuteSettingsActive is not 1. Add your actions (enable hotspot, enable silent mode, etc.) to the IF loop and at the end, set the variable $CommuteSettingsActive to 1.
Add an IF ELSE action and check if variable $CommuteSettingsActive is not 0. Add your actions (disable hotspot, disable silent mode, etc.) to the IF ELSE loop and at the end, set the variable $CommuteSettingsActive to 0.
So every time the variable $TrainStationCommute is set, the task "Commute" will be executed. Based on variable $CommuteSettingsActive it will enable or disable your favorite settings.
