I have bought HTC Desire,
Time zone for my country , mentioned as '
Karachi, Islamabad' is Configured as GMT+6. Wheres as actual vorrect timezone is GMT+5.
All my calender, appointments, world clock etc are offset by an hour and are not useable.
I contacted HTC support regarding this and they say no fix is available for now
Can anyone help me fix this problem please? Or shall i throw away this otherwise nice device?
Cheers

turn off automatic network provided values in settings > date and time
set time zone manually
That is the best solution until HTC release a fix.

Ive got a desire from Orange UK and Im using it here in Pakistan... I dont know why or how did the time zone get messed up. In the settings its showing the timezone as GMT +6 where as it is supposed to be GMT +5..it shows okay on the google website...
Ive manually entered the time for now but the HTC widget clock is still on the GMT +6 timezone..
Is there some kind of fix or workaround for this?
And is there some daylight saving option?
Secondly it shows correctly on my G1 which was also from the UK..
Try removing the widget and then replacing it back (only workaround for me).
You're using the Orange sim in South Asia?

I am using a Ufone sim here in Pakistan.
There is another problem with the workaround. It fixes the time mismatch problem but the messages are all jumbled up as the time on the received messages is still another ahead
I think the only fix would be to wait for froyo..maybe they have fixed the issue in that.. as the time zones are correct on 1.6 that my G1 is running!
i have created a patch for the timezone problem

For example: Someone sent me a message at 5:00pm, but Desire time stamp says that message is sent at 6:00pm, or sometimes it would say 7:00pm...
How to fix that? Date and time on my desire is configured correctly...

what time did u receive it ? at 5 ?
Yep, at the same time when it was sent...
I've just made some tests, apparently it's only affecting some networks. Is it possible that network message server is set to wrong time?

Can't find it too . But, as I recall, my girlfriend had that option turned on, and I wasn't able to reply her because she was on other provider.
I've goggled that problem, and apparently it's showing a lot on WM devices...and they have some sort of fix...
I have the same Problem here. receive messages are never correct
had the same problem before..my sms conversation thread not showing the correct reply & response chronologically..what i did was to disable the AUTOMATIC (use network-provided values) under SETTINGS-DATE & TIME..also switched to Handcent app to manage my SMS..now it's displaying correctly
there is no solution for it.
I just got a used P1i about a week ago and noticed the SMS timing problem right away. What I did to solve the problem was to set my home zone to Vancouver( i live in vancouver and currently on Fido network), zone of interest to Reykjavik and finally set the current time zone to Buenos Aires. Once everything is set, then i manually adjust the time and date to Vancouver time.
My phone works fine for me now. Hope this will help you too.
cheers
download handcent from the market, it's a better messaging app than the stock one and it also fixes the timestamp issue
and best of all, its free! =)
There's an application on the Market called "SMS Time Fix" that automatically catches any incoming SMS and lets you apply a time offset to fix that... if anyone's still looking for a solution.
Hi, i own HTC Desire. Timezone "Islamabad, Karachi" is incorrectly configured to GMT+6. Actually it should be GMT+5.
All my messsaged, alarms, calender events dont work on time because of this.
All my friends , colleagues Desires have same problem here.
I contacted HTC support and there wasnt any helpfull response.
Please help us fix this problem. Before we throw away these otherwise good devices.

Cant you just choose a timezone that is GMT+5?
Would have to set time manually then I guess. Because automatic time might set the wrong timezone back right?
Anyway, I'd go for the 'just select a GMT +5 timezone manually' option as well. Sometimes things are broken, but not really broken eh lol Throwing your phone away because of this, sick! Or we obviously miss something here...
Hi,
I had a iPhone 3G, and now a HTC Desire.
I can get my Mails & Contacts over the air with EXCHANGE, but there comes no Push-Notification if a new mail arrives.
Push is activated in settings.
Can someone help me?
Regards,
Kangaroo
Open mail and goto menu>more> settings> notification settings> this will give you a notification in the top task bar.

you may have the old shoddy htc mail problem, it shows itself as push stopping after a while for no good reason. Try a force close on mail and see if it works.
BTW, are u using a Telstra Desire?

I installed trial of Roadsync - works perfect ...
So I'll spend this $9,95 ...
Greetz,
Kangaroo
btw. it's a german HTC Desire - T-Mobile-Device (rooted) with original ROM
Is it just me or can anyone else not access the manage contacts section ?
All i can do is remote lock, remote wipe & ring at full volume.
I thought there were meant to be more features
Does it looks like the image attached at my post?
I contacted HTC already 2 times about this, but they keep saying they're ''working on it''..
I hope they fix it soon, anyway.. i'm already developing my own htcsense.com-like app
Yeah, except Locate Phone isn't even working for me
I can confirm that it's the same for me too on HTCSense.com Greece.
In Poland the same HTC support said they should fix it till the end of this year ... HEHE 2 days left I don`t think so ...
Known issue. Just wait and see, can't do much more...

Same here in Holland, can't do anything with htcsense.com
I have spoke to HTC about this and this is the (some what vague) reply i got:
Sorry for the inconvenience. But htc sense has had to go under further construction to get all of the features to work. As they are always modifying the website etc. it is stopping the phone finder and phone ringer features from working. It is also stopping customers creating and logging in on our website.
You may find the features to work and then stop again, as they are very intermittent.
So please keep trying to create an account and log in, as eventually it will work because not all of our customers are having issues at this moment in time.
Htc apologise for the inconvenience. And hope to get the website working and fully functional as soon as possible.
HTC can confirm that HTC Sense.com is currently in development for use in a near future. Specific device variants, including regional or national variations that will have access have not yet been confirmed. Once more detailed information is available on the release date and which of the devices will use this feature then a more formal announcement will be made. We recommend following us in Twitter for instant notifications at http://twitter.com/htc_eu
I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

It seems like htcsense.com is STILL not working properly. I only see the dashboard and can locate my phone and make it ring, but nothing else is there. You may have several hours after your registration for even the dashboard to show up. Also try a different browser - in the beginning the site didn't work in my Firefox for some reason, but it worked in Chrome - go figure
Still isn't working for me.
I tried to remotely lock my phone as a test, it didn't lock but now the website says my phone is locked
I tried using HTCSense.com yesterday, it was my first time since december. I cannot believe that the software is still broken. It is even more broken than it was on december.

Same here, it keeps telling me I need to enable the locate my phone phone finder on my phone. Except it had been enabled since day one and I've never disabled it ever. :/
It works for me, but I can only use the dashboard (no contacts, footprints, whatever). Oh and the lock phone option takes a while to kick in.
Woao. The locate phone actually worked, no more Nigeria for meh! It was off for only like 50m. I turned on Locations while it was scanning for my phone, dunno if it worked just because of that.
i think all the things you can do on your phone.i don't think htcsense.com is very useful,but on your phone it can backup your settings and contacts.This is useful.
