Clock setting itself one hour ahead unprovoked...anyone else?

Hi Guys,
Forgive me if i missed this in the search, but I couldn't find this subject already covered.
My issue is, that the clock on my TP2 keeps setting itself one hour ahead. I set the country and city ofcourse for my location but cannot find the settings for automatic/manual summer/winter time or where ever i might have missed setting a proper timezone.
Thanks for any feedback

Do you have automatic daylight correction switched on?

Originally yeah butonly when I first got it not anymore since I
changed the setting. typing this reply on it too cool!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
err... i might have, but i cannot seem to find the setting... pointer please?
thanks

I found with my phone (I am in Perth, Western Australia) that my time kept getting set to a timezone that was GMT + 8 but that was on daylight savings and so my time was 1 hour out.
I fixed it by turning off auto time update:
- All settings
- Personal
- Phone
- Time Zones
- Uncheck 'Automatic change time zone and clock'
Hope that helps.

Thanks dude, i found the setting now.
The really odd part is, that the setting wasn't checked on... I tried that now and will update when i know if the clock keep setting itself one hour ahead

OK i found out that the clock still sets itself one hour ahead regardles of the setting to automatically change timezones in the phone settings. any other help is much welcome thanks guys.

Are your pc and phone on the same regional setting?
I had a similar problem when mine wasn't

the pc is set for the correct time zone, and i cannot find the place on the phone to set the timezone manually, except if the home city has anything to do with it

Ok, have you used the Weather Database Editor to add you home location to the system?
If so, the you need to go to the thread that you downloaded the weather app from, and on page 3, I think, are the instructions rto edit the weather file. the weather app misses a bit apparently

no, my city was already on the list to chose from ...

Time and Location settings making me NUTS!

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.

World Clock - wrong local city - HELP!

Need Help!
My TP2 T-Mobile is adding an extra city on world clock. My local city is GMT -3 Porto Alegre and every day its changing to GMT -3 Greenland by itself! So the calendar weather becames to Greenland, but the weather tab keeps Porto Alegre.
Even unchecking the "automatic change time zone and clock" options on phone settings, the Greenland appears in a few hours and after every start up.
Any ideas?

[Q] Time Zone Issue. (Again)

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.

[Q] Clock time zone malfunction

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!
