I'm in the mountain time zone and always had my phone automatically get the correct time from my provider but this morning I noticed it had not rolled the time back for DST. In the date and time settings if I select automatic it changes my time zone to central for some reason.
I've tried uninstalling the weather and clock widget I have. I've also restarted the phone multiple times and what's interesting is when it first boots up it shows the correct time until it gets a signal and updates the time from my provider to central time. I've also tried turning on location via wifi and GPS does lock me to the correct location.
Running stock 2.1 with root and OCLF on Bell i-9000m (unlocked and using on Telus). My other phones all show the correct time.

The time zone keeps changing. I using the 2.3 ROM. I keep resetting it and it resets itself. My Today screen shows appointments off by an hour (I am in the Eastern time zone) but when you select the appointment the calendar shows the correct time. Madding.
What is going on that allows the time zone to revert to Indiana?
It's the new feature of Auto-timezone setting. Just uncheck it. It always default to Indiana after reboot. If your time zone keep changing, it's likely one of the cell tower near you has incorrect time zone setting.
Do a search on automatic time zone update.
Cingular doesn't know how to set the time zone properly on its towers.
It's a known issue.
If you had searched you would have found the answer because it's been answered about 1000X times already. It's a known issue that some towers broadcast the wrong time zone.
Go to start > settings > phone > time zones tab and disable the "auto update time zone & date" function.
Your device will sync with your PC's clock at next sync anyway.
Thank you very much including the scolding. I've spent alot of time scouring this forum and others and never saw that was an issue. Thanks again.
Google calendar seems to have the wrong time zone for my events.
I searched this forum for "time zone" and didn't see anything relevant.
I am located in Boston. I just double-checked my settings on the google maps website and confirmed that my time zone is set to Eastern Time (GMT-5).
On my G1, I went into the date/time settings and confirmed that it is on automatic. Presumably the towers in the Boston area know that they're in the Eastern time zone.
However, when I go to the calendar app on the phone and bring up an event, it has the right "time" (that is, if I set it for 7-8pm Eastern on the website, it shows up as 7-8 on the phone, not shifted) -- but it says the time zone is "America/Detroit" (which would be central time or GMT-6.
So what the heck is going on here? How can I fix it?
Thanks
EDIT: I just discovered that if I uncheck automatic and manually choose "Eastern" it shows up as GMT-4, not GMT-5. Wait a minute, now I see what is going on. The time change was last weekend. Is it REALLY possible that Google's servers don't know that Eastern is now GMT-4 since we "sprang forward" last week? It's been a while since the daylight saving date changed.
I hope for google's sake that they know about the time change... It could be a bug, my phone hasn't had any problems, I'm from ny. I think if u have it set to automatic time that shuld be updated by ur provider n not google,
thanks!

Hi!
Thanks for posting! I had this same problem over here in Portugal. After mannually setting the timezone it's fine again.
Kudos!
min says America/Detroit also... i wish it didn't... but it doesn't bother me i guess.
I can't tell when it started happening, but my N1 has been showing the wrong time for a couple of weeks now, in that time I've been abroad to Spain & upgraded to Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 which has caused a time zone change and an OS upgrade, it still shows 2 mins slow.
I have set it to pick up the time from the network operator, O2, I can't believe that they don't have accurate time.
I don't really want to have to set the time manually, anyone got any ideas ?
Believe it or not, I have exactly the same problem.
I noticed it because we used to have our alarm clock ringing at the same time with my girlfriend, and I am now 2 or 3 min behind.
Weird!
Just found and tried this, works well. (fixed my 1.6 second difference)
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/ntp-client-root-only_goiu.html
I had to change the ntp server to:
pool.ntp.org (same port 123)
This works but doesnt set your time, but has a nice gui.

The time should automatically be set by using the network carrier's clock. This was the default for me - Did your setting get unset?
Settings -> Date & Time -> Automatic (network provided values)

No, it was still set to get the time from the network, but was 2 mins slow, consistently.

I will check out the NTP client, but it doesn't explain why the time coming from the network is 2 mins slow, that is just odd.
I am in T-Mobile, not O2
I am using Fresh 2.0d and the default weather location is showing a town like 30 miles from me. When I travel however, the correct town wherever I am pops up no problem. I only have a problem when I am at home. It doesn't show my town.
I used to see it when the phone is rooted/stocked.
Not a big deal or anything, just didn't know if there is a patch out for this or not.
My Hero is doing the same thing. I turn off location and turn it back on and it shows the correct city when at home. I don't understand why...

That did the trick, thanks.
I made a post about this problem some time ago, where after upgrading to the 2.1 based ROMs, the location was way off all the time.
The fix for me was updating the latest radio using the steps in the link below. Since then, all has been good again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6084358
This has been going on for about a month but I finally decided to try to fix it.
It started with my phone seeing my home network. It says "remembered" but it gets stuck in an endless loop of "Connecting, disconnected." It cycles so fast between the two that if you blink you'll miss it.
Things I tried:
-Forgetting the Network(doing this made the problem even worse, I'll explain later)
-Power Cycling everything
-Fxr and other wifi utilities on the market
-Battery pulls
-Factory reset
Since I did the forget network option the network at my home no longer shows up, along any other network I'm around, open or not. It just scans and never finds anything. I can be standing right next to the router and the phone doesn't know it's there.
So my next steps were these:
-Rooted phone
-Deleted bcm_supp.conf in the wifi folder with the wifi off. Didn't change anything.
Got some results when I deleted bcm_supp.conf with the wifi turned on, cleared phone cache, turned wifi off and then turned it back on. At that point the phone could finally see my network again but I was back to the connecting, disconnected problem I started with. That's the only way I can get it to see networks but it still won't connect.
I've all but given up and hoping someone has other suggestions.
U could try flashing a different modem.
What is ur phone set up right now?
Right now everything that I have is stock. 2.2. Only thing I've done is rooted so far in attempts to have more control of getting this fixed and try a few of the fixes i read about from google searches.
I'm admittedly a noob at the higher levels of phone tinkering but I'm not opposed to it obviously, so I'll look up info on flashing a different modem. Thanks.
I had the same problem until I updated to a custom ROM. I went to Pheonix' ROM but it also works on Team Hacksung's Build9.
