Why does my time zone keep changing? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

When I reboot my phone it goes to mountain time. I live in Pacific time but it keeps defaulting? Any ideas?

Mine too. It changes to Moscow althouth I select +2GMT. This happens only with Schaps ROM. I tried official, VP3G and it was ok.

does anyone know how to fix this?

Mine has been changing to -6 from -7 on it's own the last few days too.
My only solution was to disable the get time and date from the provider option.
Haven't had a problem since.
I am assuming they have a tower pushing out the wrong timezone or something.

Where would I find that option?

Start, Settings, Phone.
Then make your way over to the Time Zones tab and un-check the box.

Some users might report this tab doesn't exist. If it doesn't, a reg edit is needed to enable it.

I dont have that tab. I know how to reg edit but where do I find it and what should I change?

Timezone and time update
In the branch HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting Change the value of the Key "ShowTimeZonesPage" to value of 1 (dword). Close your registry editor (no reset required) and tap START-SETTINGS-PHONE, there should be a new tab where you can automatically set the phone to get time and timezone information from the network. Really useful for me as I do extensive travelling. Tested on WM5

Even after disabling this, mine still changes

Mine is a slightly unusual issue but is related to the timezone issue.
I live in Sydney, Australia (GMT +10) and my phone keeps reverting BACK to Vladivostok (GMT +10) which you may say is 'so what...they are the same time zones' but the issue is daylight savings which makes Sydney effectively +11 and when the phone reverts to my mate Vlad...the times are out by an hour.
As this is my diary 'brain' its beginning to become quite an issue.
Also using Schaps 4.20 ROM in a Dopod 838Pro.
Otherwise great ROM
Cheers Spocky

sync time isues?
This is because the time zone between your computer & pda are different.

Roaming @ Home...

After installing the new "official-unofficial" ATT/Cingular WM6 Rom, now every time I access my pop3 email account in my home town, I get a message stating "roaming - you may incur additional charges, do you wish to continue?"
I never got this in WM5. Is there a setting that is screwed up or something? I shouldn't be roaming in my own town!
Yeah i get that too on my Herm... but only when i sync my Yahoo acc.

I know this is a REALLY stupid question, ... but how do I get into the registry on these phones? I sync'd up with my computer and "fished" around but couldn't find the door in??
Sorry man, ... I found the answer. I downloaded "Mobile Registry Editor".

I couldn't find that setting or the string "HKCU". Could you be a little bit more specific? Everything is HKEY (local machine| local user | classes root) which one? And do I add your entry or edit it?
Thanks for your help!
HKCU = HKey_Current_User
In this case, I assume you will need to add the key. Tap & Hold on 'Inbox', New -> DWORD Value. Name it 'ShowRoamWarning', leave the value '0'. Power down, soft reset with stylus.
As a general rule, if a registry key is mentioned it is the desired setting (obvious, i know). Point is, if the key is not there add it.
Does everyone in California have a roaming Icon on Wm6? I should have tried the real ATT ROM just to see if the damn icon wsa still on.

Ah, ... got ya. I really appreciate your help! I'll give it a try!

I agree, I experienced it after the jump to WM6 using that ^&@#$%* XpressMail. The tweak solved the problem for me.

I haven't been to CA lately, but I'm still have the roaming Icon on all the the time in Nevada since WM6 (but I'm not really roaming per t-mobile).
After upgrading to WM6, I was ok for a couple of day's (in Sacramento, CA). As of Tuesday my phone shows that I am roaming and it will not go away. Not just for data transfers but all the time. I called Cingular/ATT and they said there was no issues in my area. Any idea's? Also I cannot get a 3G connection, which I was able to before.
i think this is a known issue (at least to me haha) for a REALLY long time...even since wm6 ROM leaked, ive had this issue, and im with Tmobile using an unlocked 8525...apparently, the roaming icon went away when i went to Texas...im from Los Angeles, CA

Daylight Saving problem

Hello,
I've got a bit of a problem here. Few weeks ago we changed time because of the Daylight Saving, my mobile didn't do it automatically because every time I restart it changes the timezone to (GMT+2) Windhoek, and not the Sofia timezone (it seems they don't change time there. I've fixed that, but the problem is that, with the time change, the device changed the time of my appointments. When I edit them, it still says 9:30, but it sets the appointment for 10:30. Any suggestion how to repair that? I'm using Schap's 4.30 ROM, and I'll update to 4.31 now (I've done it some time ago, but had problems, that's why I dongraded to 4.30).
I've had similar problem.
Key issue was the Automatic Time Zone change on mobile phone settings, because it seems that not all mobile provider use a good setting. So I unchecked it, and change it myself.
Moreover, in fact you have TWO parameters; first one is your timze zone and second one is the time by itself.
As soon as you will upgrade to the very good Schap's 4.31, first adjust your TimeZone and then you time and when you will synchronise with Outlook erything will be OK.
Regards
Yep, I've done some experimenting and done that, it works now, thanks.
Yes, even though its a real PIA, I always turn off Auto Time Zone from my provider and manually set it. I even manually change to a different time zone and back if it originally got it's info from the carrier before I setup my ActiveSync.
I posted this a while back regarding this.
So, where do I find the setting to disable my Imate JASJAM to get time zone info from my carrier?

Syncing Time with Cell Provider

I have searched for the answer and have seen that you need to go to Settings>Personal>Phone>Time Zone and check a button that says to sync with tower (or something similar). I am using TAI's latest 6.5 and I can't find a Time Zone tab/button/anything. Anyone else have this problem with a 6.5 beta?
Thanks for any help.

Surprising this can be a little over looked..Install Advanced Config 3.3 use Device Update if you don't already have it.
In advanced config under the phone settings look for
'Show NITZ page' and set it to yes and save/restart
then you will have the Time Zone tab you are missing..
Thanks, I installed Advanced Config, but was thinking a setting within it to do the syncing with local time or something... NITZ, huh? I guess I didn't think of that.
I will give it a try when I get home (I left my phone at home accidently and I feel so naked!)

Telephone automatic answer with 6.5 don't work

Hi all,
Since I installed wm 6.5 (Rom Officiel), the option to answer phone automatically doesn't work anymore .
i'm sorry of that, because i'm a biker and it's very useful.
A hard reset (as asked by the service support) did not change anything.
they ask me now to return the device which seems to be a hardware problem no ?
Are you involved of that problem? any idea to solve it without sending it?
Thanks and Best regards from France
Humm !
I'm surprised that this fonction doesn't interest more people; because after quick investigation, i'm not alone with that problem using wm 6.5 .
Is that happen only with the french version?
I have the same problem with diamond 2 and wm 6.5. Did you find any solution?

Same problem here. Updated using UK Vodafone upgrade and now Auto Pickup cannot be selected.
Can anyone help as this is a big problem. If you have to touch your phone to answer a call while you are driving and you get caught, you are in big trouble.
Could someone check their registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\AutoPickUp
and tell us exactly what is in there. Mine is empty and I think this might be part of the problem.
Thanks

I just checked and mine is blank too...on a US-model T-mobile TP2 with the stock 6.1 ROM. I've never used the function before though, so I can't really say whether it is/was available to me...I'm not even sure where the option to use that is
You guys might want to check out the app in THIS thread, it supposedly makes it easy to access the auto-answer, so it might (...or might not) serve as a work-around for you
EDIT: I just found the toggle for auto-answer in the phone settings...and even though I have that registry entry blank like the rest of you, I still have the option of chosing auto-answer in the phone settings.
Sorry if you did this but can you go back to the setting and make sure it stayed "ticked". What happens on mine is that I tick the box and it shows a tick but if you come out of setup then go back in the tick has gone.

Hey man, sorry about that, I just missed it when you asked that the first time
I just now double-checked, and yes, the tick mark does persist in the Automatic Pickup box in phone settings, even through a soft-reset.
But...even when the tick mark is there, no value appears in the registry entry you mentioned and...it still doesn't work I tried it with the auto-answer interval set at 0, 1, and 2 seconds, and it never answered my test calls.
So...6.1 doesn't work any better, 6.5 is just more honest with you by not letting the setting appear like it's working
p.s. feel free to PM me if you ever need feedback from me and haven't heard anything in a day or two...probably means it just got lost in the shuffle on my end.

Tilt 2 and DST time issue

I have a Tilt 2 on AT&T with the European 6.5 ROM. Today starts DST in California and my phone did not update. If I manually set it to the correct time, within an hour it reverts back to the old time.
Is there a registry setting or patch for this?
Thanks!
There was one for the Wizard device, back when the dates of DST were changed...but I will be honest, I do not know if the Wizard tweak will work for the Rhodium.
Point is, if they were able to do one for the Wizard, there is hope that someone can do it for the Rhodium now (if it hasn't already been addressed).
Good Luck.
EDIT--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32813&d=1167887334
After going through my old device (Wizard) threads, I found the cab. Give it a try. I am not sure if it will work or not on the Rhodium, so use at your own risk.

If you have it set to automatically update it could be your providers time is wrong! Settings, Personal, Phone, Time Zones tab. If set to automatic I bet your cell providers time is wrong, I've had that happen here before.
