Clock is driving me nuts - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Delete.

my mobile does the same, but only after 12 am, i bought it 3 months ago and there was no problem but since the summer time had begun, it keeps moving one hour forward at the beginning of the next day.

Tap the clock on the home tab. Don't set it on "My Location". Manually add your location and set that as the time you want displayed. Also, go into Phone settings and uncheck the thing where it says to change timezone automatically.

Contacts

I run the B&B 4.0 on my artemis. I copied al my contact from my sim to the phone. When i want to call somebody the name of the contacts is twice. How can i delete the contacts on my phone easily.
Another question. When I touch the weather tab on the htc home. It connects to the gprs. Is there a way to cancel the weather tab?

You could remove the sim, restart. Then select all contacts and delete them. Then when you re-insert your sim you should see only one set of contacts.
NOTE: BE SURE YOU'VE GOT THEM ON ON YOUR SIM BEFORE DELETING THEM FROM YOUR PHONE.
For the second issue, there's a program amongst these forums called NoData. This allows you to enable/disable gprs with a single click.

Stopping Auto Download of Weather Data
Alternatively yo can select the city name on the weather display which gives you the city selection page. Select Menu option > Weather Options and there you can uncheck the Download Weather Automatically tick box (and also select the Temperature scale to be used).
After doing this select Done, then OK on the city select page.
Now the weather data will not download automatically but you can refresh the data if you click on the time since last download displayed in the top right of the download window.
Hope this helps,
Neil

Thats a much better solution!
Thanks mates it worked.
for the contacts issue, I use the hide SIM contact.cab found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1424544&postcount=1
Another option is to use the Start > Programs > Applications > SIM Manager in B&B 4.0, this program allows you to copy contacts to and from the SIM and to delete contacts from the SIM.

Activesync sets incorrect time

After flashing with several wm6 roms, the time on my Hermes gets set to an incorrect value when I connect to activesync. I never had this problem with the stock wm5 OS. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?
just chose the correct GMT area from time icon
Either the time on your PC is wrong (but I guess you would've noticed this!) or the time zones don't match. Try double clicking on your PC's time and compare it to the time zone tab on your phone (under Settings, Clock and Alarms).
Other than that, sorry - no idea!

I checked the time on my PC is not wrong. The time zone on my phone is correct as well. I never had this problem with the stock wm5 that came with the phone. I'm wondering if it has something to do with using a non Cingular rom??
I got the same problem but I realized that it was not an activesync behaviour. I got active the automatic Hour and TimeZone change in the Phone settings and Spanish Orange got an incorrect zone set, so, every time I start my phone, my timezone changes...
Try to uncheck this parameter in the Phone settings, TimeZone tab.

I can't find where to uncheck automatic Hour and TimeZone change. I looked in "Clock & Alarms" under System settings and "Phone" in the Personal settings tab.

It's supposed to be a tab under "Phone" in personal settings tab, but showing it or not depends on a registry value. You may download the HTCustom tweaker from here:
http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2231&p=7890#p7890
Install it and set on the showing of the TimeZone tab in order to check if it's active or not.

Thanks for the info. automatic change time zone and clock was allready disabled so I guess thats not the problem. However I did find that enabling automatic change time zone and clock and then doing a soft reset changed my clock back to the right time.
You may got another option. In your PC (not in your pocket PC) look for this registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\xxxxxxxxx\Services\Synchronization
And change the value:
Sync Time on Dock
from 1 to 0. It will disable the activesync change of the Pocket PC time...
xxxxxxxxx is the ID of your partnership with the Pocket PC
Remember to restart activesync after the change.
Here you got more info: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms834164.aspx
Problem resolved
Thanks for all your help VivaErBetis. The registry change you suggested fixed everything.

Clock setting itself one hour ahead unprovoked...anyone else?

Hi Guys,
Forgive me if i missed this in the search, but I couldn't find this subject already covered.
My issue is, that the clock on my TP2 keeps setting itself one hour ahead. I set the country and city ofcourse for my location but cannot find the settings for automatic/manual summer/winter time or where ever i might have missed setting a proper timezone.
Thanks for any feedback
Do you have automatic daylight correction switched on?
Originally yeah butonly when I first got it not anymore since I

err... i might have, but i cannot seem to find the setting... pointer please?
thanks
I found with my phone (I am in Perth, Western Australia) that my time kept getting set to a timezone that was GMT + 8 but that was on daylight savings and so my time was 1 hour out.
I fixed it by turning off auto time update:
- All settings
- Personal
- Phone
- Time Zones
- Uncheck 'Automatic change time zone and clock'
Hope that helps.
Thanks dude, i found the setting now.
The really odd part is, that the setting wasn't checked on... I tried that now and will update when i know if the clock keep setting itself one hour ahead
OK i found out that the clock still sets itself one hour ahead regardles of the setting to automatically change timezones in the phone settings. any other help is much welcome thanks guys.
Are your pc and phone on the same regional setting?
I had a similar problem when mine wasn't
the pc is set for the correct time zone, and i cannot find the place on the phone to set the timezone manually, except if the home city has anything to do with it
Ok, have you used the Weather Database Editor to add you home location to the system?
If so, the you need to go to the thread that you downloaded the weather app from, and on page 3, I think, are the instructions rto edit the weather file. the weather app misses a bit apparently
no, my city was already on the list to chose from ...

Stop location check completely and clock issue

Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out how to get rid of My Location from my clock and from the weather tab completely. I have tried taking off My Location in the setting and I have checked "Automatically decline location service". But I still have My Location in the clock and weather tab.
The reason I want to get rid of it is because my phone jumps 1 hour ahead at least twice a day. I have to change it back to my time zone by touching on the clock.
Also is there a way of stopping the flip back graphics of the clock?
Cheers!
Hi,
to get rid of my location from weather you have to set to 0 the following key in registry:
"HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation" (dword)
to instruct the clock not to use my location at all but the city you manually set you have to uncheck "automatic change time zone and clock" in phone settings, time zones tab.
hope this helps,
Radu
unzip and copy file to windows directory to stop clock flip.
cool thanks alot guys!
unchecked those settings, see how it goes

Hey, i'm using an Energy Rom and I don't see the time zone setting anywhere on the phone...is it disabled for some reason? (HTC tilt2)

Time zone on boot

Hey all,
Every time i start up my phone, it always prompts me to set the time zone, ive try many different roms and pops up everytime.
Any one have an idea?
Are the other locational services working okay? For instance, does the HTC weather tab (or home widget) display "My Location" as the proper city? I think the time zone is determined automatically based on location (via cell tower). So maybe your carrier is not broadcasting the proper locational information.
yeah, google and weather both show correct location

So...you want it to not prompt you for time zone?
Have you tried this?:
Settings (All settings)>Personal>Phone>GSM/UMTS Services> Select "Time Synchronization" then "Get Settings". On the screen that appears should be a check box for "Automatic change time zone and clock". Uncheck that box, then "OK".

Give THIS a shot. Make sure to follow the instructions exactly as they are written.

But be advised that this work around will also kill the ability of the TP2 to know where it is. So if you travel via airline, for example, the phone won't pick up your new location - you will have to manually change it.
