I have the annoying time zone issue with my TP2. I edited the 2330fc3c file to add additional cities, including the same city that appears in My Location. However, the two have different time zones, that's right, same place but different time zones. Therefore, it appears that wherever the weather app gets its info from does not have the right time zone info for my city. So while my entry is correct My Location shows the same city but in a different time zone. Where does the weather app gets its info from? Maybe I can contact the source and have them check and update their info.
TIA.

OK.. Here is my problem.
I set my location in TF3D as Boca Raton, FL (Eastern time zone).
Everything looks great, then I notice my appointments are off by several hours.
I go into the system clock setting and notice it is set to -12 (instead of -5 which Eastern time is).
I change it to -5 and then when I go back to my home screen my clock has chaned to being several hours off.
If I go into World Clock, it shows "LOCAL TIME" correct, but the city I added (Boca Raton) as now being several hours off.
How can I make this bloody phone understand that BOCA RATON is IN THE EASTERN TIME ZONE !!!!!
I feel your pain
Anyway, I turned the bloody locations setting off, and manually selected my location.
Under settings, location settings you can turn this off.
Since my location does not work anymore, weather for My location was also not being displayed correctly, so I used below register tweak to remove the "my location" from the weather tab.
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation set to 0
I still have "my location" under the World Clock, however have my location selected manually. This keeps time correct all the time, and shows correct weather on my animated clock.
Hope this helps.

just tell all your appointments that you got stuck in traffic and will be a few hours late...no biggie...
Actually I found the solution on here.
The cities I had been picking were ones I added using the Weather Database Editor.
The weather location database is actually a small SQL database disguised as a manila file and it is used for more than just weather (ie: World Clock). Using the Weather Database Editor to add locations only adds some info into the SQL tables such as city, state, country, and weather code, but nothing for time zone.
Using a tool called SQLLiteAdmin I opened the database (on my PC, not phone) and added in the info for timezone, etc to the cities I had previously added.
Copied manila file back to phone. Rebooted and SHA-BANG!! It was fixed.
Oh if you go to the time & date settings under the actual Settings in WM 6.5, rather than through the Manila home tab interface, you can change the timezone there without a problem and then all of your appointments are correct.
I figured this out before, forgot about it, then figured it out again and it should be locked into memory now.

I used this thread to fix this same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570771
The My Location weather setting has been working fine until recently...
It now says I'm in somewhere called Kone, when I'm actually in Madras (Chennai) at the moment.
I don't ever alter my clock time when I travel as it buggers up the time for events in the calendar, which I prefer to be at the time.
Any ideas what's wrong?
My Location is based on you closest weather station, not on your home location. In other words, if you go to some other city, your "My Location" changes to that new location where you are now actually located. I have the same situation, I like in town X but when I am actually at home it reads town Y which is next to my town but has a closer weather station.
Nope that helps.
Oops, sorry.
Hi Guys!
Any hints when current location display the correct city but in wrong timezone in clock / weather widget? If I select a neighbour city, aprox 10km away, the correct timezone is displayed.
Even if I uncheck the option to automatically update from network, due the wrong timezone, the current location still one hour less than it should be.
There is any way to change the timezone for a specific city, from GMT -4 to GMT -3???
Thanks in advance!

have you checked summer time option?
USA based "home" service. In Heathrow airport the phone showed UK time when booted up after flight. Then, without changing any settings, when I shut it down and rebooted in Amsterdam a couple of hours later it reverted back to USA time.
Stock ICS, no root. Under settings/date & time/ the tick boxes are checked for both Automatic date & time and Automatic time zone. Under the Calendar app/Settings/General Preferences/ the tick box for Use home time zone is not checked.
I have all my calendar entries tied to a time zone, some are Europe, some are USA. I travel enough to understand the need. But, calendar becomes useless if the system time doesn't recognize the time zone.
Is there another setting in there somewhere I'm missing?
I believe that it's a problem with the date/time supplied by your phone carrier.
Automatic date & time
This comes from your carrier.
MAYBE you carrier is trying to change the timezone for you...
Automatic time zone
This comes from your GPS/Phone location services.
I would disable "Automatic date & time", and keep only the "Automatic time zone".
This way, all you have to do is open some GPS based app (maps, weather, news...) to get your timezone updated automatically.
Good luck!
Hello everyone,
Recently I have started having issues with my calendar events in S planner, I am pretty sure that this issue has started with the latest firmware update. Anyways, I have set a rule in my work outlook to forward all emails to my Microsoft exchange email account that I have in my note 2, so when someone sends me a meeting invitation to my work email, it comes to my phone as an attachment (.ics) and I simply click on that and import it to my phone's s planner. This has been working great for a while until recently, once I open the .ics file I would notice that the timing of the event is 4 hours behind (I live in Ohio so the time zone is Easter time) but if I import that event to the phone, then edit it, and go to the time zone and change it from (GMT+0:00) to Eastern time, the time of the event shows correctly. Keep in mind that I have all of the Time Zones at Eastern time and I am locking my event to the same time zone too (in S planner). so somewhere the event's time zone changes to GMT+0:00 and as I mentioned before, only after updating to the latest firmware. setting the time and date as well as the time zone to auto or manual does not make the problem go away, the only thing that will correct this issue, is by setting the time zone to a different time zone than where I am (to GMT +0:00) and set the clock manually. I also noticed that if I forwarded the same email to my Google account and import the same .ics from there, the timing of the event would be correct.
thanks for any input
Am I the only one with this issue?
thanks for any feedback
You're not the only one
I'm in Amsterdam (which according to S-planer is GMT +2; funny, I always thought it was +1) and there's a red line showing the time indeed
+2 (no worry, setting the time zone differently in the settings section does not help at all). I think its a bug...thought it was a bug, until I found
that the time zone in the settings of the machine were off (at GMT+0) and then the settings of the clock jumped two hours. Easily fixed for
me. I hope you have a comparable problem.
I have the same problem. I have all theelvcorrect time settings in place. This definitely an issue with s planner as the time appears correctly in the summary view of the event when in month view, but is behind by 6 hours when you open the event
