a date/time problem tilt 2 (miri's manilla 2.1 rom) - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

my time and date always change even though i repeatedly change it
i suspect this has to do with the city being locked in as London, Dublin
(i cannot change it)
does any one know how to fix it or any registry changes that would fix my problem?

Clock resetting for no particular reason

Hi all,
does anyone know why my system clock keeps resetting to default american time zone setting? I have been resetting it to my time zone for 4 days every day in a row and i have that phone only since 4 days!!
cheers
resetting clock...
Hi. When i first got my HTC P3300, it did the same every time i syncronised it, i called the sales man and he said it wat an error from Microsoft..
I think there is an update that solves it...
Hovever you can just mark the clock as "Visit" instead of "home", then the problem is solved (i´m not sure its called Visit and home because i run the Danish version of VM5)
Best regards MicTh
This is a know issue.
Set both timezones(Home and away) to the same timezone.
This should fix the problem.

Time zone changes to Central Europe

I face this problem with the WM6 ROMs that I have tried on Hermes. After 'a while' the time zone changes to GMT+1. The time does not change. A reset fixes this problem. I am not sure what triggers the change. I have tried this with the bare ROMs without any add-on cabs.
Apologies if this has been asked before. My search in the forum did not hit a close match to my problem.

Are you using it in India (as according to your profile) or in Europe?
When you set your timezone in 'Start>Settings>System>Clock and Alarms' do you set it to your region, ie New Delhi +5.30 ??

I am using in India, and I set the timezone to New Delhi +5.30. When the problem occurs, and I reset the phone, the timezone comes back to New Delhi +5.30

Are you using any 3rd party applications which involve the time?? Also have you noticed is it after you have synched with push mail or your PC?
I noticed the problem after flashing the ROM and my favourite applications. To test things, I have used just the ROMs in the past week; the problem still occurs. The ROMs that I have used are vp3g's version of AT&T, Schaps 4.2x and 4.3x, and Shamanix 1.0 and 2.0 I don't remember having this problem with vp3g's 3.61 ROM, but I may not have used it long enough.
I don't use push mail. Syncing with the PC does not affect the problem either way.
A quirky thing that I noticed is that my phone somehow retains the GMT+5.30 timezone during resets and ROM flashes; after I flash a ROM, the startup prompt shows the GMT+5.30 timezone and the correct time. Is this a feature in Hermes - the timezone gets stored in an area not touched by ROM flashes?

Weather keeps resetting to London

Every so often the weather city resets to London, perhaps it's restart thing, a bit irritating really

PLease refine your problem. When does it reset?
It isn't like the other city's are still in there, but you have to swipe up or down to get the other cities?
Have you deleted London? and then it jumps back on?

If I set the city to Dublin where I live, it reverts occasionly to London. Deleting London didn't help, it came back again. It could be something I did, but I don't think so.
The only thing I can think of now is a hard reset. Maybe there wen't something wroing while setting up the rom and thus touchflow 3d. Weird problem though.
Hope, if it's touchflow 3d, they fix it soon.
Who knows what HTC has done in terms of automation... Perhaps the weather app is now tied in with your GPS location and until you get a GPS signal established it will keep reverting back to the default??
This is just me thinking out loud.
Mines working fine but then again i went in and deleted ALL he cities straight away coz they bug the heck out of me then started adding the places i wanted and visit... might be what causes it to work

I bet your right, doesnt the calender show the weather also. try getting a gps fix after re-deleting it
Hi,
Correct me if im wrong but doesnt the TP2 automatically add Your time zone (aka GMT -London) to weather? So if you add a couple of clocks say London and New York, Then the weather will add London and New York as well.
Does seem a bit silly if you cant stop it defaulting back to London for GMT though.
so can you set the home screen weather to be anywhere in the country??

Grrrr! It did it again, no reset, just normal use. I've deleted London, Paris, Tokyo and all the other places that are meant to make me think I'm part of some glamourous celb lifestyle thing. So we'll see what happens next!
Mine work just fine.try changin it at the home screen and weather panel and see if it still does the same

That's what I did. I thought it might be because the time zone is "London, Dublin, Edinburgh".
I really don't want to know that other people are having nicer weather than me
just erporting mine does not do this at all
Guys, I have problem... with city that is not in the base... any program that I tried that works fine for diamond doesn't work for TP2... touch flo just restarts when I add Durham to the base and go to touch flo weather pad it just restarts touch flo.... I tried many things...like disabling Touch flo and them editing the base... ect... but it just seems it is different with other phones( did anyone successfully added city that is not in the list?
see the wether app thread in the software section
pro2 keeps reseting to london because of igo8. just try it. change to your city, start igo8, exit it and voila, it reseted to london, except if you already have london.
bye
I had this problem too -London weather showing at the bottom of my calender Though not my preferred city. The fix I found requires a registry change. HKCU\\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.CityList. There is a default list of cities there. I simply added a accuweather compatible code for my preferred city and calender has been well behaved since.
Also happening to me... resolved it by re-arranging the city and moving my base city as #1 in the list...
just move to London chaps - problem solved
Same issue also GMT London setting . I fixed problem going to Settings/personal/phone. Select the GSM/UMTS Services tab , On that tab is Time synchronization , From there select "automatic change time zone and clock".

Anyone else having system clock problems

Anyone else have this issue with the system clock when dualbooting WM6.5 & Android (noticed this problem with both Incubus' RLS5 and Aqtrans' V1.3 so I'm assuming its not a build specific problem)? I noticed that after starting Android and then rebooting into WM6.5, the WM6.5 clock is behind by 5 1/2 hours (I'm on IST which is GMT+5:30 and Android is set to autoupdate from network). Although it seems like android is setting the WM clock back to GMT, the WM timezone actually shows up correct. It's just the time that seems to fall back to GMT. Resetting the WM time manually only lasts until booting into android and then is back to square one.
I also noticed that when I reset the clock in WM, the android clock also moves ahead by 5 1/2 hrs (notice this just for a few seconds when starting android before the network sync kicks in).
Are the WM and Android clocks somehow linked? Is there any solution to this problem? I recall reading another post about the incorrect clock in WM but this was before I tried dualbooting and can't seem to find that post now.
Yep. This problem is caused by Linux having different system for time tracking than Windows.
Namely, Linux stores UTC time in the hardware clock and calculates the user time(taking into account user time zone and winter/summer time) later on.
Windows does none of the above, and simply stores the user time in the hardware.
Thanks. I guess that makes sense.
So is there no solution/workaround to this problem? I'm guessing that if we were able to autosync WM with the network as well that should work around the issue. Is there any way to do that? I've searched and could only find a registry hack for WM5 & 6 but nothing for WM6.5... and apparently even that fix doesn't work often.

I suppose there must exist some WinMo NTP clients?
Sync wm6.5 clock time to cell towers with NITZ
Registry: HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\NITZEnable=1
I noticed this issue, I have WM 6.1 on my Rom and Android 2.1 on my SD card, and Android is 1 hour ahead of WM, which is annoying, but as I'm only testing Android at the moment, its not a big issue, but at least I now know why it is.

Wrong Time Zone Settings for my Country

My country is Pakistan.
Its time zone is GMT + 5
But in my HTC Desire, its set as GMT + 6.
Due to this many things, most importantly received/sent SMS are not appearing correctly (they are not being sorted correctly according to time because my and sender's time zone are misaligned) ....
I have tried setting clock to network provided value, but it is not making any difference.
Can any one please help me on this, as this is most annoying feature of this phone. Other wise I love it...
Yup! Im stuck with the same issue
Can we modify time zone settings for a country?
yup i have the same issue. i just turned off automatic updates for time...
i think as pakistan tried daylight saving then undid it caused the problem
:sigh: dont know any solution
it should be +5 GMT !!
i don't know bout you but on my sense ui, the sun rise and sun set are 2 hrs delayed.
One more thing it's a problem with android not HTC desire !
On my Samsung galaxy I have the same problem
If you turn off automatic network set time and choose your timezone there, it should stick fine.
