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.

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.
I somehow managed to stop the pop up that shows up when starting a connection. The little window that pops up when starting a data connection, it says what network you are connecting to, and gives you the cancel or hide option. I don't know how I did this, but I got it to stop. I never really noticed until I reflashed my ROM and it came back. I looked in Schap's advanced config, but don't see that option.
If anyone knows how I can disable this again I would enjoy not seeing this anymore.
Thanks!

start, settings, connections, click on menu and untick the enable on startup!
PS, if you are flashing again, why not try CRC's latest, definitely faster than 9.2!

I must be missing something... Start > Settings > Connections, where is "menu"? If I click on Connections, there is Tasks or Advanced.
What am I missing?
Also, I am downloading CRCs 13.0 right now.

connection setup sorry
I see what you mean. We are talking about different things. I mean the little pop-up at the top of the screen that pops up when you open IE or something else that uses data connection. It has the little arrow pointing to the signal meter, it says "Connecting to GPRS, 3G" then has 2 buttons that say Cancel or Hide. It goes away once connected. This isn't the network setup wizard, it's just the warning that you are starting a data connection.

whoa sorry, ... didn't know you can do that! will wait for some other expert to come up with solution.
Found it!!!
Go to <Start>, <Settings>, then click on <Sounds and Notifications>.
In there, go to "Notifications" tab and then choose "Connection established" from the drop-down box. You should see "Display message on screen" checked. Uncheck that box and those connection messages should not show up again!

I see this in all the ROMs i have flashed, everytime the phone an internet connction thru GPRS or 3G. I think this is a part on the software's notifications. So maybe there is now way of disabling it.

Quakie, you are an absolute star! This has been driving me mad for over a year. With TomTom running, and as you drift in and out of phone service area, this pop-up would appear. TomTom would then freeze until the pop-up was physically cancelled. Really annoying.
Now fixed, and one less distraction when driving.

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.

I have done the change you recommend and all is working just great!
Every time I open my address book (or at least the first time after a reboot) I get this AT&T address book verifying subscriber status popup that takes a while to complete. I have no interest in ever using that service so how can I disable the check and just stop using it at all?
I'm guessing that the answer might be root and remove bloatware but I'm hoping there's a way to just turn it off without rooting. Don't worry I'll be rooting sooner than later but for now I'd like to just get rid of that annoying delay.
I havent got my phone yet, should have it within the next 3 hours, but have you looked through the settings, and opened up the AT&T address book app and checked the settings within that app itself?
Yeah. Not seeing any settings for it or actually any AT&T Address Book App at all.
Yeah i finally got mine a few hours ago, but i dont see any options to disable it either.
I'm guessing this will be one of those annoyances that only root can salve.
Not sure about the s3 but on skyrocket I checked out the programs.. scrolled down to sync and disabled..
Rebooted and never got the error again.

Where exactly did you "check out the programs.. scroll down to sync and disable"?
I don't see anything about AT&T address book anywhere.
I have the same issue. Every so often when I go into my phonebook I have to wait for it to check the AT&T Address Book. So now there is a huge lag to access my contacts.
Why do carriers think they should be mobile phone designers? I wish they'd just leave the designing to the people who are good at it.
Over 10 years of buying my own phones out of contract for a reason. I've only had the phone for a few hours. I wonder what other lame surprises await....
Ok, I seemed to have fixed it. Not sure which action it was because I was just doing everything I could to make it stop.
First thing I did was to turn off AT&T phonebook in my online account. Log into www.attwireless.com. Under MyAT&T tab, mouse over "Wireless" and select "Usage & Recent Activity". Scroll down to "Members Shared Usage" and click on "view details of the number you're working on. Scroll down to "Minute Detail" and right under that is "Phonebook" with the option to turn it on or off.
At the same time I was doing a lot of flailing around in the the phone. I was Settings page in Contacts and I deleted all the AT&T BS contacts it auto inserted into the phone.
I rebooted and it stopped trying to access that AT&T phonebook. Hope this helps.
1. system setting
2. app manager
3. click on the phone book
4. force stop
Now it will stop and the icon will be removed from the app list. You can do this for all of the apps that will not uninstall till we get root.

In step 3 when you say "the phone book" do you mean the app called Contacts that has an icon that looks like a phone book? When I disable that app my phone dialer icon disappeared making it so I couldn't dial out. Had to re-enable it.
Otherwise, I dont have an app named Phone Book.

My AT&T and YP.
I was trying to disable the AT&T Address Book as well. I found out you disable AT&T Messages. Works like a charm.

I can confirm this method mentioned by Phoenyx worked. For me at least. No more AT&T Addressbook confirmation dialog when I go to Contacts. :good:

Yes, I just tried this as well instead of what I posted earlier and it also worked. I didn't know there was a phonebook option in my online AT&T account.

Hi I just got my phone the same thing happened. I let it load (the second time it happened the first time I hit cancel). I got a page that was basically an ad for att's backup service, I scolled down to the bottom and clicked on close (or whatever the button did say). Now when I start contacts no more "checking subscriber status etc".
I have not rebooted yet but will and if it comes back I'll post, if it doesn't then at least on my Galaxy SIII it was a one time event.
I want the messages to stop appearing on the screen when I receive them. I try to change from here, but nothing opens to choose another option. I also reset in the developer menu but nothing changes. After many years on Samsung, it seems to me that everything is messed up here. Thank you
I assume you mean with the google messages app. Not many options in the app but if you long press the icon and choose app info -> notifications -> additional settings -> bubbles there is an option for "nothing can bubble". Try that.
I don't use the google app or have the phone on a sim yet, so I can't verify. Please report back if it works.

Thanks for the reply. It is correct what you say and that is how it should be. I know I have to walk here BUT I CAN'T. The phone (software) doesn't let me choose anything else when I press "importance"! Do not open other options! Not to show anything in the balloon was already activated. I've had the phone for 6 days and as much as I like how it looks (the only reason I bought it) the software is a joke. I am totally disappointed. I am seriously thinking of returning it. Apart from the cameras, I really consider it successful. But the software is bad.
I tried to change the setting to only one person, but it still doesn't work.
Sorry for bad english ! Google translate.
I installed and tried another messaging application from the PlayStore and I was able to set other notifications! The default application (from google) does not allow you to set other priorities.
Disappointing!
