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
So i have no idea whats going on. On my Alarms tab I once had it set at 4:30am to wake me up for a flight and now even though I've changed it it still goes off every morning at 4:30am.
Anyone have this strange problem and know a remedy?
im having the same problem.when i change the alarm it goes off at the new time i set but it also goes off at the old time. what rom are you using? Im using pays lite 6.0 rom
I've got the same issue. I'm running schap's 4.31 ROM.
It first came up a few months ago and I thought it was related to HTC Home. When I uninstalled it it went away. I seems to have been a coincidence because this weekend it came back. The only change that happened was that for some strange reason my time zone was changed so I changed it back. Ever since then the alarm has been stuck on where it was set at 6:30 :40 and :50am no matter what I change the current alarm to.
Thinking I had things narrowed down I changed the time zone back and forth one zone/hour while the alarm was set to the correct alarm time 7:30 :40 :50am.
Now I have a THIRD set of alarms going off at 8:30 :40 :50am. I literally have 20 minutes of alarms for three hours M-F.
Looking in the registry reveals nothing, the alarms are set for the correct times there and the ghost alarms can't be found. No amount of turning alarms on or off and soft reseting has any effect.
Hi guys,
I had the same problem - two hidden alarms. You need to clear notification queue. It can be done with SKtools.
Regards
Do you live upstairs from me?
Who ever that is up there has a super load and annoying alarm that goes off NON STOP from 4:30am to 7:00am Very Very annoying...

buddy, its telling you to quit smoking weed ten minutes is enough...
peace bro
The problem's probably that Windows has got the event stuck in its schedule.
A number of tools will clear the list for you. If you download Pocket Mechanic from Wizcode the time-limited demo is fully-functional. Good software, it's good enough that I bought it after trying. Took me ages to work out how to sort the same alarm issue a coupleof years ago.
10 days ago I went to pick up my phone and noticed that the clock time didn't look right. When I looked at a regular clock I could see that my phone was 27 minutes slow. I thought my phone was syncing time with the network, but it's not and I can't even find a setting that allows that. I had to manually reset the time on the phone to correct it. I wondered if I might have changed the time by accident and passed it off as odd.
Two days later it happened again and then it happened again the day after that. Within a one week period this happened 3 times. I installed TimeSyncTZ to give myself piece of mind.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. If it keeps happening I think I might need to get my Tilt2 replaced.
Settings/clocks and alarms
Set the home time zone.
We have 2 tilt2's and this happened to both last week. We changed them to eastern US and i just saw mine was on indiana AGAIN,BUT my time is correct for eastern US
I thought it was possibly a time zone issue, but then it would have been off by an hour. My time zone never changed. It's always been set to GMT -6. In fact I have several time zones set up on my phone and they were all off by 27 minutes just like the local time.
The only thing that changed was the time on the clock as if I had gone and set it myself to some random time. The 2nd and 3rd time it happened it was off by about 30 minutes as well. It was if time stood still on my phone for a little while.
WM6 was freezing my Tilt last week. I got fed up troubleshooting and upgraded to 6.1 on Monday. Yesterday I noticed my time off by a few hours (and minutes) while the device was connected to my PC. It was about 11:15am and my device showed 8:07am. This was the 1st issue with time since I had the device. It wasn't a TZ issue and shortly after I disconnected from the PC, the time sync'd correctly with the network. The device did not match the PC time either. I'm continue to monitor, though.
Mine is yet again set to indiana for some reason. Doesnt make much of a difference i dont think. Same time zone. Odd that its not sticking hen i set to eastern
have you considered alien abduction as a cause for your missing minutes?
WTF!
I'm late to work this morning bacuase, some how, the phone lost 45 minutes over night! Just sitting there!
How the hell did that happen!? It's unacceptable!
This is a stock T-mobile USA.

I've been lucky that all three times it happened to me were during the daytime when I had a good idea about what the time really was. I couldn't help thinking about what would happen if it did that in the middle of the night and I got up late for work. I'd be in the same boat with you. I haven't used a watch or an alarm clock for years. This is the first time I've had a cell phone mess up the time like that.
Unacceptable is the word that comes to mind for me as well.
If you got to:
Settings -> Communications -> Phone (change settings) -> Advanced -> Time zones
The check box: 'Automatic change time zone and clock'
I had that set, so it should correct the clock if anything goes wrong... SURELY!?
I kept having this problem too (I'm on the East Coast, and it kept changing to Indiana). The only way I could fix it was to uncheck the "Automatic change time zone and clock" box on the Time Zones tab in phone options, and it seems to be OK now. Maybe the towers are off... Definitely weird and annoying.

Let's just say I haven't ruled it out yet.
I thought my alarm troubles were solved as of 7008.. but this morning I was late to work because the alarm on my phone didn't sound.
Perhaps not coincidentally this has happened the first (weekday) morning after the clocks changed here in the UK.
Anyone else's alarm fail this morning?
Anyone have any general observations on the reliability of the alarm?
As an aside, I do often get the alarm ringing "twice" simultaneously - the sound sounds doubled up, and after pressing dismiss once, there's another alarm dialog beneath. Interestingly, this used to happen to me a lot in WM6.5 and earlier - perhaps WP7 isn't as "written from scratch" as it seems...?
Here in US, our DST turned on couple weeks ago and there was a thread about how WP7 alarm failed.
In case you didn't know, WP7 is based on WinCE7.0 OS core. So, it naturally inherit a lot of legacy stuff you know and familiar with the old WM 6.xx. The only exception is that you can't access most of them without jail breaking. WP7 is simply a prettier shell on top of the old WM OS. But so are Android and iOS (both are based on linux core).

I thought WP7 was based on the WinCE 6 OS core?
And I think iOS is based on BSD. Android is the Linux-based OS.

Yeah, that's fair enough. Sorry I missed the other thread.
I guess I expected something as fundamental as an alarm to be written afresh. Especially if it's known to be unreliable.

That unreliable is baked right into the core
Mmmmm yummy.
No problem here (france)
I'm on GMT hour too and we also got hit with the hour change.
HTC Trophy... time updated on its own and all of the 4 alarms I have currently on the phone worked fine without a glitch, didn't have to do a thing.
No problem here on my Omnia 7 UK.
Updated itself fine.
happenes here too...
Hi,
I've had the same problem (been late because of it numerous times).
The alarm doesn't play sound and the phone only vibrates, or it even
doesn't vibrate at all.
The only "solution" to this, that I found, is to check (before you go to sleep),
can you play music in Zune. I know it sounds silly, but for now it works...
If you can't here music from Zune, then you should restart your device,
and everything should be ok.
Hope it helps
P.S. After pre-Nodo, i didn't come across this problem...yet...
Happened to me few times on 7008, irrespective of DLS. Waking up late I would find my Mozart completely frozen with alarm notification window on the screen. It seems to be a rather common issue, have a look: http://mobilitydigest.com/advice-for-microsoft-wp7-alarm-team-start-over/
http://mobilitydigest.com/the-windows-phone-alarm-bug/
I hope that NODO update fixes this...
Edit: I'm prepared to be corrected but I don't think this issue has been ackowledged by MS.
Never happened to me. I have a T-Mo De Mozart, FW version 1.25.
The alarm issue specific to DST is that if you schedule a one time alarm the night before DST switch over for next morning. The phone fails to take into account of DST switch over the night and the alarm will be off by an hour.

Mine is also T-Mobile DE. The issue was present on both .25 and .28 firmware. So hard reset (in between these versions) didn't rectify the problem.
No problems here omnia7004 uk
NoDo Fixed Multiple Alarm Problem?
Have tested it 2 days in a row and works each time.
Pre-NoDo update it failed twice, never tried it again.
5:30am M-F wake-up alarm;
6:25am M-F catch school bus alarm.
Even added a 3rd alarm at 12:30pm just to retest... no problems after NoDo update.
That a fix to the alarm bug wasn't mentioned in the NoDo update details leads me to believe they fixed it and didn't mention or i've just been lucky 2 days in a row.
Cheers
no problems at all on my mozart, my alarm is set on weekdays and it's always ringing. i haven't updated to nodo or the first small update yet
happened today for the 2nd time, don't rely on the phone
no problemo here
Well honestly my Optimus 7 played every single alarm I set on this since the day one.
Problems must be associated with sound playback which is screwed by some games, that is well known, confirmed bug.

Well, I don't play games. I listen to music sometimes but the alarm/mute bug seems to be completely random and not related to whether I listened music on this particular day or not. The only factor that has got to be present for the bug to occur is that phone should be plugged to wall charger (which is not easily avoidable for most people since they charge their phones over night).
Yesterday morning I looked at my watch and found it was turned off. I restarted it and it had the wrong time and the date was 31. I changed watch faces to one that had the complete date and found it was Dec 31, 1999. Since then I have reset the watch 3 times and also, removed all the associated programs and started from scratch. I am now on Jan 1, 2000 and several hours off. I am not sure what else I can do to get it working correctly. The only installed apps are Android Wear and Moto Connect.

The watch gets the time from your phone, have you checked that? Have you verified that you're connected via Bluetooth?
Yes it says connected and it sends cards to the watch.

Yes, the phone is fine.
Finally, on the sixth uninstall, reset, and reload, it is ball to the correct time.
