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?

msn live messenger problem

who is also having problems with wlm messenger? tried various versions and disabled the proxy settings but still no luck. Through outlook i can sync email, but not the messenger program for chat.
i use t-mobile and the wlm gives me an error that it can not connect to messenger and it could be the service or my phone, and that i have to try it later

I have had that issue too but it was in a poor network coverage area, when in a good area (even on standard GPRS) it seems to be pretty stable.

Adult content blocker
Hi
I've just switched to T-Mob UK from Orange UK. My sim switches over tomorrow so I've no actual experience to go from but the cust service guy said that their adult content blocker also block IM applications so needs to be removed. You can do this through T-Mob cust service.
Hope that helps, and that I don't have the same problem from tomorrow!
Cheers

I'm also living in the Netherlands, using T-Mobile and I have the exact same problem.
On another site somebody sent me another version of WLM for the device, but after installing that my entire TouchFlo 3D was gone! (Fortunately uninstalling the version fixed the issue again.) But still I cannot get a connection.
Internet is not the problem as I'm using the phone as my internet connection the entire day.

Oops...the initial version has been uninstalled as well now!
Found it again...

Ahh thats a really good point, that was one of the first things I did when I got my new contract! lol
Yeah get it unblocked and the world is your oyster.

Try disabling the proxy for T-Mobile, this worked for me.

Also check date is correct, sometimes if date is not well you cant connect
Here a thread with multiple versions of live messenger:

I have the same problem also in the netherlands on t-mobile network

I tried to connect while connected to my WLAN and it returns the same error message!
How can I determine what version I have?

Install the newest version (there is a new one out just a few hours)
I also have T-mobile (ben). I have no problems with messenger, though I have an older version. Ik know I have a HTC hermes (hopefully soon the TP2) but this seems a network problem. Are your settings right?
I only get the messsage when the network signal is low. THis can be in some houses (because of the build of the house, in trainstation (metal frame surrounding you) etc. (I have no problems in my house though).
My settings for BEN: name: Internet
accespoint name: internet.ben
Are you or the other person offline? did you leave msn on at you desktop?
it probably is just the bad network quality. Try it at a diffrent place outside.

i installed an old version wich is working now, but you say there is just a new version out? do you know the version number?

I installed the lates version. This time TF3D did start automatically after restarting and everything is working!
So, I guess that's the fix!

can someone give me the link to the latest one?
are there any changes? or still the simple layout with less features

disable proxy
Hi all
disabling the Proxy worked for me on T-Mobile UK.

Sms(sound) & My location problemens

First of all I would apologies for my English if it's bad, and second I would apologies to if my description is not very clear I am trying to do my best on it but this is the first time I have done something like this.
Sms messages coming to late or not receiving at all.
Some of my messages are coming to late or not even coming at all, I got this problem since the march ROM update for Europe west, I have already gone to the provider store and they just sad the most simple, quick, and cheapest answer: It's your device....
The sms alert sometimes ONLY goes off when I get my mobile off the stand-bye. This is also very annoying since I don't watch ever 5 minutes on my mobile.
My location is not working anymore since 2-3 days ago.
I live in a small city which is not listed in the cities of the weather program. Cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam are working but my location is not anymore.
My device information: Standard touch pro 2, using Windows Mobile 6.5 newest updates from the HTC website Europese West, Netherlands.
Thank you!

I think the problem is that you're phone memory was not really 'clean' when you updated you're rom. What you need to do is whipe you're memory clean with task 29. And then try flashing you're rom again.
Did you install hard spl? Based on you're story I don't think you have. What I would do is install hard spl and then run task 29. Then put you're rom back on you're device and try if you're problems still occurs.

Hmmm...
I kinda have the same problem!
Since a couple of days the weather tab in TF3D which I've set to automatically update doesn't work anymore....
The strange thing is that it doesn't work for "My Location". When adding another city manually and I press "Update now" it works just fine!
"My Location" does also work when I connect my TP2 (WinMo 6.5) to my pc and press the "Update now" button....
Strange right? I've tried a lot of setting but no luck...
Even stranger: While updating the weather doesn't work for My Location (which is Eindhoven; some what a big city...) there's no problem with my connection or GPS as both of them works perfectly....
What's wrong? Can someone please advice why this stopped working suddenly!?
Info on my TP2:
Provider: KPN
WinMo: 6.5 Standard ROM....
Push Internet: Disabled

Same problem her, i instaled Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.7.1 and he has update my location for 1 time, and now same problem again.
I would try tomorow for a time.
But without Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.7.1 was the same problem.
soft reset, doesnt work, Hard reset i don;t know of that works.
Location: Netherlands
Rom: latest original rom from HTC
Sorry for the bad english!

Help, The netherlands are disappearing!
Anyway, same problem here! (HI Netherlands, Leeuwarden, nomore 'My Location)

I think I have the solution. I suddenly experienced the same problem. Go to start >> Settings >> Connections >>Connections >> Tasks >> Manage existing connections >> press edit >> next...
And then at the acces point name you will see something like portalmmm.nl. you need to change this to:
Internet
Save and you are done I think KPN made a little mistake. The weather will update again

Lenzy, the memory was clean, in the first month it didn't had any problems but now it's getting slower, and more harder to find solutions.
I now don't even receive about 1 on the 3 sms messages which is just annoying for the other person and me.
The weather update problem is still remaining.
But thanks for all the reply's
Edit: Also another question. What's 3G and can I disable it ? Everybody is saying that it is useless and sucking up your battery life.

You said that you upgrated you're software right? Then you're phone memory was not clean.
In my opnion the stock version really sucks Learn to flash and flash a decent rom on you're phone. The rom in my signature is the best one out there (in my opnion of course ) That will resolve all of you're bugs. Make sure you run task29 before flashing.
3G is you're internet connection. Just like hspda etc. You can disable it if you don't have a data plan.

You mean with the memory things like pictures, and music? That's all on my SD card.
When I just wake up the weather application started to work again I think because of the tactic you sad, Thank you!
And what do you mean by 'learn to flash ?' Sorry that I am a bit noobish xD
I already emailed HTC costumer service in Dutch and English 2 days ago, still no answer.

[Q] T-989 - No data network. Mobile Network State: Disconnected

Hi there. I own an unlocked, rooted t 989 Samsung Galaxy SII which I bought in the US. I recently moved to the Netherlands, and got a new simcard with Vodafone. The problem: I can't get my data to work.
I have tried (almost) everything, so prepare for a read. Here's the list:
- Sim card is fine, I tried it in a old phone and 3G pops up instantly
- Rebooted, pulled battery, turned mobile connections on/off, handpicked network, etc, etc, all the basics.
- Got the APN settings from Vodafone. Tried them manually, resetted them, automatically, turned it on, turned it off.
- Going online through Wifi works.
- Under settings-Status it reads under Mobile Network State: Disconnected. But I know that the phone detects the network correctly. It can distinguish between UMTS and GPRS here.
- So there seems to be no trouble with the phone being incompatible with the network. I read online that other people had NO trouble using their T989 in Europe.
- I tried inserting my old American pre paid T mobile sim card and turn roaming on. No luck.
- A lot of other people with the same problem tried to link it to Easy Battery Saver. I tried updating, uninstalling and going into its settings to find out what it could be, but nothing.
The last thing I can still try is to factory reset, unroot and try to get the phone to its most original state and see what it does. But before I triple wipe all my contacts, pictures, apps, etc, I want to make sure I did absolutely everything to try and fix this beforehand. Being a noob here, I can't post any links but I trust you I tried.
The people at Vodafone are of no help whatsoever. I hope you geniuses could help me any further.
[Edit] And sorry for posting this in General Chat. If a mod could move my question to Q&A I'd be most thankful..!

I am having the exact same damn problem! it started with being unable to send a simple text message yet having data. now it says it is searching forever

Try flashing a different radio/modem then an american one?

@decko5 Nice to see I'm not the only one, but that doesn't help us yet .
@doug36 Besides the fact that I'm running a stock ROM that should be compatible with no issues, I'm not sure how I'd do that. I can flash a separate part of the kernel? That sounds like a very tricky thing to do.

It's actually pretty easy. You can flash most radios via ClockworkMod Recovery. I couldn't find any threads with a list of Galaxy S-II radios here on XDA, but I found one over at RootzWiki for you. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2725-radio-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-radios-updatezip-updated-20-aug-2011/
Just find the corresponding one to your geographical location and carrier (Google is your friend) and follow the steps.
Good luck and hope it helps!
(p.s. you should definitely look to see which radio you currently have so that you can download a backup of it before you go flashing radios.)

Thanks for that very helpful post! I've raped and butchered Google, but I'm still having trouble finding out which modem I should download. There seem to be so many and the post on RootzWiki gives no guidance to which is which. Any wisdom on this? I'm in the Netherlands, so Western Europe, on a Vodafone network.
By the way. I fully wiped my phone and installed Team Kang's Juggernaut 5.. No luck, same problem. What I found really, really weird is that it was instantly in Dutch. (Which is ok, I speak Dutch) But I don't remember ever selecting a language. How does it know? Besides, I'd rather have it in English .
What I did find out is that I'm still using a old firmware, UVKID, instead of UVKL1. So I'm restoring back to my previous ROM and trying to update. I'll see what happens. If that doesn't work, I'm going to restore my phone to stockest of the unrooted stocks and try and update.
If that doesn't work, I'll have no option but to send the phone to T-mobile.
I'll try the modem update as soon as I understand what I'm doing . But it does sound promising. Thank you so much for your help, it's greatly appreciated!

Hi guys,
I've updated my firmware to UVKL1, still no luck. Anybody who can tell me which radio I should try on this Vodafone network in the Netherlands?

I am from India and had faced this similer issue with many of my android phones specially with captivate and infuse.......Here what i always did to connect data network.
Just uncheck the use packet data network box in mobile network settings and try to move out from that area (say u are in ur office and going back home) and check the data in settings.
This thing has worked for me always, I don't knw if its related to the OS or to the network provider but this has helped.
Have u tried any other network sim card on ur phone ?

An update for other people that might be looking for a solution in the future. It turns out to be a clear Vodafone problem. I tried a different simcard from a different network (both T-mobile Netherlands and KPN), and they instantly worked without any trouble.
I went back to a different Vodafone store in Amsterdam, and they were much more helpful than the first one. The sales guy told me he had seen the same problem with AT&T iPhones on the Vodafone network.
I called Vodafone, and they have been very nice to me. But they haven't found a solution yet and are looking into it. They see me registering to the network, granting me access, but still my data doesn't work. They've also told me that they will let me cancel my contract for no cost if they don't find a solution.
So problem remains unsolved, but at least there's some light at the end of the tunnel. I was close to buying a new 500 dollar phone... Americans going to Europe: Beware with getting a Vodafone simcard. Sorry to the Vodafone guys, but as for now, that's the status.

So to give closure to this issue (I always hate it when people fix their problem without telling the interwebs..)
IT WORKS!
After an initial terrible experience at the Vodafone counter, the headquarter tech guys have really been great to me. So it is indeed a Vodafone problem. American phones always give them a headache. They don't know what causes the problem exactly, but they do have a fix. It turns out that when logging on to the data network, American phones (AT&T iPhones, my T989 SGsII, and some other Android devices) sent some gibberish along that make the Vodafone server go cuckoo.
The solution was, miraculously, to sign me up (for free!) to the WiFi hotspot service that Vodafone provides, and then logging on to a different APN, being: office.vodafone.nl in my case.
Hope this helps anyone who's having similar issues.

ok the issue here is that some of the t989 are vodafone and some are USA network , now the other solution is that you flash with command prompt which there is a link to that tool im going to upload from the link i got it from . its also a clockrecoverymod , but this 1 asks you for deleting data user on the device and also resets the network includes USA/overseas though if your not customed roms
or any hacked roms , after flashing this device your basically removing any unwanted apps and cache that are hidden during network searching will be fixed bugs , put the simcard in slot but make sure that is a 3G/4G accounts, than its going to reboot the device automatically , it should be searching for service and also will be a circle with a slash on it where the service bar usually is , just wait about 1/2 hour to an hour maximum time let it do its thing , ok whats happening now to the phone is that is thinking with android network with usa and overseas market apps comparing both carriers network also gets the proper address for the custom rom or original kernel, froyo either 1 will get the correct network address and / VPN / and also will be adding both T-mobile/AT&T choose T-mobile dont go for AT&T cause it will research network configuration plus the phone its not unlocked for both its just a network passby to get correct WPN/VPN/clockworkrecoverymod .

Where is an fix?

[Q] Mobile data problem

Hello.
So i bought a galaxy nexus GSM white version from Bulgarian carrier VIVACOM. I turned it on then updated to android 4.1.1
I tried to activate the mobile data with a SMS that i recieve from the carrier but it didn't work. Yesterday i called them and we installed the settings. Nothing happened. After that we deleta wap.carrier.bg. Again no effect. After long converse we didn't manage to trun the 3g and they told me that with them everything is ok. My status bar is gray and i hardly saw the "H" appearing, but still no data. I read here and in other forums, but didn't find the solution. I read here solution with changing the Radial, but I don't want to mess with this and also it is now my job. My current Radial Module is I9250XXLF1.
I want to aks you if this issue can be solved. If not i will try to change the phone with different one. I like JB, but i need a working phone.
Thank you!

Have you looked into your APN settings? That's often where issues occur for GSM phones.

fixed
The I roblem is fixed. I went to store to explain the problem and maybe return the phone. It,let is from the settings, those from call service don't know a lot. He put the settings into mms.thecarrier.bg and deleted the new APN I created. In the end everything is just fine. So I hope I will help others.

Good sharing, I think I met the similar problem, could u pls give more detail abt yr solution?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

From call service of the carrier told me to create new APN. That was wrong, because nothing happened. The next day I went to one of the carrier store and explain this problem to the servant. He said it should be from the settings there is no way not to work. So he deleted the new APN that I created and put the settings into mms.thecarrier.bg. When I ask the call service what should I do with mms.thecarriername.bg should I deleted it like I deleted wap.thecarriername.bg and they said "you can leave it like this"
