I've got a Stock Desire running 2.2 and am having an issue with my time and date settings - I'm unable to set the time including seconds. What this means is that my phone is approximately 30 seconds fast or slow, and this is messing up my message threading. This issue is noted as a "Flaw/Annoyance" in this thread by Jaa-Yoo, but I'm having problems with the threading even when I'm having a conversation by SMS with a contact who uses the same network as me (O2-UK).
Is there any way to "force" the handset to update the time manually? If not, do you know what time the clock will automatically update with the network? Can anyone suggest any way I can set the time in HH:MM:SS as opposed to the default HH:MM? (via an app perhaps?)
I've used the handset for over a year and this has only really started to become an issue over the past few months - I'm guessing the timekeeping is just slightly out, and the difference that has built up over time has now started to be a problem. I'd really rather not put up with it for another few months until the seconds fall back into place...
Many thanks for any help or suggestions.

I am new to the Smartphone...
I synced my calendar to my S620. Now sometimes randomly I get notices that I have an appointment when in fact I had that appointment yesterday.
It looks like all my meetings are getting moved forward 12 or so hours in my calendar. Then maybe after 5 or 10 minutes the calendar reverts back to the corrrect times.
Has anybody else encountered this issue?
Any solutions?
might have to do with your time settings, check if it's auto on in the time settings as well as the right timezone and it matches your computer
I have experienced a similar issue. Yesterday I noticed one of my appointment times change on 2 separate occasions. The time changed to an hour earlier than my meeting was supposed to be and then changed to an hour after. I set it back both times. Fortunately, I knew what time my meeting was that day.
I've only been using the Dash a couple of days so I don't know if this will be an ongoing issue. I had put the device in my holster without locking it, so I was wondering if that might be the source of the problem. Also, I had some trial 3rd party PIM software installed which I have since uninstalled. I'm a little worried that this would be an issue that would get through testing.
Today I noticed all my meeting times advanced by an hour when my service changed from T-Mobile to Centennial when I was driving. The time on the home screen of my Dash was correct, but all my meeting times changed by an hour. I watched as I changed back from Centennial to T-Mobile, and double checked my meeting times. They all moved back to the correct time. Anybody have any idea what is going on? It doesn't make sense that the time on my home screen was fine, but my appointment times changed on me. Any insight on the matter would be helpful.
In the clock settings uncheck the "auto clock/time zone" setting
Gad. As an engineer, I am a little reluctant to post this question or observation ... but if trained active astronaughts reported seeing UFOs, then I can report this problem. Here it goes:
My upgrade to 6.1 on my T-Mobile Dash coincided, unfortunately, to the day, with a new job that requires me to commute to Phoenix, AZ each week (as well as other brief US travels).
The evening I installed 6.1 (RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE)
I was in my home in the Silicon Valley area of CA. No problems.
Then
1. I shuttle off to Phoenix. From the moment I landed - email was just broken all over the place - mainly SMTP - which is well documented on these boards. A replacement Dash, 30 hours of tech support etc .. the problem has seemed to go away - perhaps it was a bizzare temporary incompatability between the 6.1 upgrade and tmobile's proxy servers.
now then ....
2. When I am in CA - my appointment reminders, and the overall behavior of the Dash is OK. I tend to use Tasks, Outlook, and text and pop emails quite often, browser and playing solitaire when i get bored. and lots of bluetooth use. Usually no problems with any of this while in CA.
3. I've traveled recently to Orlando, LA, St. Louis, San Fran, Indiana ... no problems at all - or rather no changes in behavior.
4. The SECOND I land in Phoenix and turn on my phone, the poltergeists start:
a. I turn on the phone - and all the reminders appear (no surprise) - but the "dismiss/menu" options don't appear for maybe 5 mins. I cannot do anything during this time except click on the Celetask button (@)... but this won't allow me to terminate anything. Only the back button and home key work - returning me to the frozen reminders list.
b. After 5 mins of freezing ... I either dismiss the reminder/appointments (or snooze them for 1 hour - ... one hour). Then I try to look at emails etc ... I find the button responses sluggish but working. THEN within about a min - the damn reminders appear again. When I dismiss them all, they reappear in about a min - this time with a duplicate of each active reminder (calender appts) ... yes, 2 of each. This keeps interrupting email reading until I cant stand it.
c. so I take out the battery, wait, and reboot. perhaps after 5 trys of this - the behavior still persists, but stable enough for me to work on the dash (perhaps it is not the reboots - but that the appointment reminder cycle has expired)
d. Even so ... during the next few hours -
i. Major problems talking on the phone. Reminders interrupt; cannot access phone menus (toggle handsfree, or to type touchtone numbers)
ii. When navigating other apps - keyboard does not always respond ... sometimes it appears to stuff in erroneous keystrokes
iii. freezes (unresponsive) for long periods 3-4 mins at a time then all the backlog of keypresses are excuted.
Yes, I have replaced the Dash twice already! That's not the problem
Taking out the battery, or otherwise rebooting actually seems to make the problem worse (the reminders trip over themselves and take forever to clear)
These problems only seem to occur when I stay in Phoenix (I know, a UFO sighting in more pausable).
The problems seem to subside within a day or two but I am not certain.
These problems don't seem to happen in any other city ! Took 4-5 months of traveling to realize this!
gulp ...
Has anyone else experienced anything close to this?
Try a new SIM card, especially if it is older. Sounds funny, but there's a lot of datafill in the HLR/MSC that are tied to specific SIM card ranges. I've seen switching SIMs fix all kinds of issues. Give it a shot... worth a try
It may be tied to the stupid t-mobile Arizona time zone problem. If the phone is set to sync with the time servers to keep accurate, then it will mess with everything else that relies on time. I have to keep mine unchecked for time synchro because otherwise it is an hour off and that changes everything in the calendar.
Next time you head towards Phoenix, try unchecking the automatic time/time zone option in your clock. You may need to reset the clock, but hopefully, it won't screw everything else up.
im in phoenix and nothing like this has happened to me lol. as stated above could very well be because of the timezone issues.
hey guys. just got my touch pro 2. switched from an iphone, i missed wmo devices too much . im not a newbie with windows phones, have owned the wizard, excaliber, touch pro, and the xperia.
SOLVED-one problem i been experiencing with, which i also expeirenced in the past devices, is the alarms not going off. i already tried switching the time zones and back, and still didnt work. i searched for the answer, but all results was dated back to the first wm6 upgrade, and none relating to this phone, so im not sure if its just me or if other people have this problem too.
SOLVED-second problem i am having, well im not sure if its really a problem, is when i switch screens and go back to the home screen, the time shows 1 hour in the past, but then changes back to correct time in about 2 seconds. any help is greatly appreciated.
experiencing a third:
dont know if this is a network issue, but i have my aim linked to my text messages. whenever i recieve a message, it displays it like 10 minutes after the current time, and when i respond, its the right time. it mixes up the order of the messages.
4th problem:
screen is not turning off automatically or not going to sleep. i had it set for one minute, and the screen has been on for about 20 minutes already. anybody?
Which Rom version do you have? There were this kind of problems on some versions, try to get latest version.
Hi guy.
1st pb : Be sure you've allow alarms to ring while your phone is in silent mode or vibrate-only.
2nd pb : It's not a problem. It's a visual effect. It's the same for me on each custom ROM or official ROM. Don't be affraid ^^ It's the difference between GMT and GMT+1 I think.
thanks guys. im using the latest official 6.5 european rom. not sure of the name, it was given by itjie? but yea, i have the settings for letting alarms go off durign vibrate/silent mode.

bump solved all issues but the 4th. any ideas?
I'm very keen on buying this phone tomorrow and was in the ATT corporate store and found a very strange issue on the live display unit. Everytime I opened any app and hit the home button it would take about 5~7 seconds before showing the home screen. I tried playing with the settings but it did not help. I also restarted the phone but the issue still persisted. I new to android platform (coming from iPhone) and looked at the setting (related to personalize). After talking to the ATT rep he mentioned that few folks have also complained about it but was not sure why this happens. He then suggested that they will return this unit so battery can be replaced or we can reset the phone to factory settings. I took his permission and attempted the reset After reboot the phone worked normally with absolutely no lag.
Q1. Is this a known issue? Are folks with this phone experiencing this after a extended time of use. Does anybody know what this lag might be due? Any specific wallpaper causes this lag. I tried changing wallpaper but it did not help
I really want to get this phone but if the above issue is rampant then I want to hold off buying it tomorrow.
BTW: I tried buying it today at target (mobile store managed by radio shack) they were ready to sell and went thru the upgrade process but just before the last screen it blocked them from selling (radio shack corporate policy) cannot sell the phone today but will sell it tomorrow.
Settings -> Developer options -> Don't keep activities.
Some people have had to switch it on, come out of options, go back and switch it off. (the tick was incorrectly cleared, whilst the option was on)
thanks
Thank u for your feedback. Can u elaborate on what caused it? Sorry from your feedback I could not figure out the cause.
From what you described (7 second delay coming back to sense) it's not a lag (or sense crashing as some have described it). It's sense reloading.
The Android UI is based on activities, they stack, and the history is typically kept, until Android decides to kill an activity, usually due to low memory available. If activities are not kept, they have to reload from scratch.
Since Android can take away a previous activity at any stage, the developer must save its state when transitioning to a new activity. By not keeping activities, it's easier to test that each activity is correctly saving its state.
Hi all,
After days and days of searching the web and trying everything I can, I'm still having the same issues.
I came across this forum whilst browsing and had forgotten all about it. I used to be a member many,many years ago when I used to tinker with my HTC Hero (great phone at the time).
Anyway, on to my issue....
Since my swap back to Android from ios, everything has been perfect and I haven't looked back...except this one problem and its driving me insane. Basically I have a Hikvision NVR and cameras at home and use the hik-connect app to live view and get notifications. This is where the problem is! My NVR is set to send me notifications when there is a intrusion on the front of my house and although I get the notifications,they are sometimes 5,10 or 15 mins later. Its not all the time, sometime they are instant (although not very often) and if I have my phone unlocked they also come through instantly.
I've checked everything that I can think of including the battery optimisation settings etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? After here Im giving up with it.

Thanks folks
Gaz
