I've been meaning to ask this question as well. I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll be watching for an answer.
do u use a spare battery? cuz i do
bump
please help.
it never used to do this.
i used to change my batteries all the time, and it never screws up the time. but now it is. whats going on?
answer..
maybe this is the problem.. go to settings --> in personal: click on phone... go to the time zone tab and make sure the automatic change time zone and clock tab is not check.. that should work hopefully
Maybe you got a problem with your internal battery..when you search more in this forum, there are testimonials about that specially when you remove the battery out of you device then put it back on.. and that also happens to me..my solution?never remove the battery
But sometimes, there are instances that this occurs when you sync your phone to PC thru ActiveSync and you got the "Sync PC time to Phone" option enabled AND you have different Regional Settings on your device and on your PC, you need to uncheck that option at ActiveSync..please check.

I can't seem to get my cingular 8125 to get the correct time when I choose the time zone. It is an hour behind when I select central time and when I change it manually it sets itself back an hour a day or two later. It use to work fine when I was still on the east cost. Is there anyway I can set the time permantly? It is really annoying since I use it as my alarm clock. Thanks
For different areas, change the time zone and not the time.

also check to see if you have selected summer time too!!
Sounds like maybe you have a 2.24 ROM? (kinda hard to tel!) If so, remove the checkmark from Network Time in the Phone settings.
yeah I have the 2.24a rom and I can't find the network time checkbox in the phone options. Also I did change the time zone, time zone is an hour off
Anybody? is there a quick fix or do I have to flash to another rom? Thanks.
i have had a problem that has been plaguing me and my phone for quite some time now, i have asked around and combed search engines for an answer, i have never found the solution, but i have found others who had had the same problem looking for an answer, after all this time, i have just found the solution, and it has fixed it 100%
i thought i would post it here to save the time and hassles for anyone else having the same problem
the problem is that my phone would change its time 1 hour almost every time i would synch it up to the computer, i changed settings on the phone in timezone, and also the settings for daylight savings, i modified the settings using schaps config tool, and hard reset my phone countles times searching for a solution, but none of these methods worked beyond a day or so
it turned out to be a setting in the 'phone' settings 'timezone' tab, tucked away in an odd place, this checkbox was left unnoticed [one could be forgiven for assuming that time settings would be somewhere around the clock section] i guess being in the phone section it 'may' be updating the time off a phone tower or something???
anyway, checkbox is labelled 'automatic change timezone and clock' and this needs to be left UNCHECKED
Almost been a month now and problem solved
i hope this helps out anyone else having this unique problem
p.s. this would happen with WM6.1 Roms and also WM6.5 Roms
This solution has been out there now for about..... 2 years...
You mustn't have checked EVERYWHERE...

i can't find where is the box that i have to unchecked.can you help me?i just bought a htc hd 2
I've recently started to have odd time related things happen on my HD2. Alarms set for 4:45, for instance, go off at 3:45 (not always; just occasionally). With my local time set to US Central Daylight Savings, times for other zones, including Eastern in the US and Central America are off by an hour (fast).
Anyone have an idea of what settings I should check?
The real oddity is that these times change from day-to-day or even during the same day. Today for instance, the times in other zones were off in the morning, but show correctly this afternoon.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is this a custom ROM? I know I've seen several chefs posting changelogs like "Timezone issue fixed, hopefully" lately.

Standard ROM. This morning all times are correct. ??? Can't figure it out.
could it be your pc is causing it? i once came across a situation where the user had chosen 'no' when his pc had asked him 'do you want to automatically adjust for summer time', and he set the pc time manually himself, , but this then sent his phone wacky because it WAS trying to auto adjust, but every time he synced it would move back an hour, and then re adjust when he restarted it (the phone), and so half the time it was an hour different than the PC.
Probably a long shot, but your post brought it to mind.

I have my PC clock set to automatically adjust for DST. So far today everything is correct. Just plain odd.
Thanks for your reply.

I had the same problem, I went to France the past 2 days and every now and then the time on my phone changed, even when the option to auto sync time is set to false. I Live in Belgium so France is still the same GMT +1.
Try upgrading to the newest stock ROM. I saw you still run 1.07.x, but there is already a version 1.36.x.
It's not the ROM. Mine has been doing it ever since we went to daylight saving in the UK. Jumping forward an hour every day or so.
tryied to upgrade but i got the error 294 invalid vender
anyway i opened a case with HTC
but i thing my problem is due to daylight saving
but not so sure because at the same time i was in Greece wich is also diferent time zone

Does anyone know if a hard reset fixes the problem?
Maybe, but also check the values of:
HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Clock\HomeDST
and
HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Clock\NetworkTimeSync

Is that the same as enabling/disabling the automatic time in the phone options?
BTW what value should be in those entries? Thanks
Try to set both of them to "0", soft reset, set the correct time and time zone through settings and check if the problem still exists.
Doesn't work. As soon as I activate the automatic time, it increases 1 hour
The automatic hour must be deactivated.

This is the process to de-activate auto time update.
Go to:
Settings> Menu> All Settings> Personal> Phone> (search for) GSM/UMTS Services> Time Synchronization (second last option in list)> get settings. Un-check "automatic change time zone..."> Done
now the time will not update automatically.
That's in post #6.

I knew that, that's how I solved it long time ago, but what I'm trying to do is to make the automatic time work again, since I find it quite useful
Useful of what?
When traveling for example. Thanks for the tip anyway
i followed the instructions from NitroNitrous old thread where you disable the updates.
(very well hidden settings).
Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".
thanks NitroNitrous
I have aslo an open case with HTC as soon i will get update i willl pass over
One other guess is that the provider has incorect setting. could be that the case ?

I thought about that, since it happened when they changed the time for the daylight saving thing, but it's hard to believe that many providers in different parts of the world have made the same mistake
nah! it's clearly a bug, something like network is sending the correct hour but the phone is applying by always adding daylight time saving again...

That's why there are two choices for time zone, under "Clock & Alarms".
Hi,when I remove the battery from my device so my date&time get changed.Restore to the latest definition .
If I'll define the date&time in the device for example 18.05.2011 23:00 and five minutes later I'll remove the battery no matter if I before it turn off the device or not.
Still when I insert the battery and turn on the device ,my time&date will be 18.05.2011 23:00.
The five minutes dont count.
I've this problem when my OS is wm6.5 or android.no difference.
Why?
Thanks.
If you just have the issue of date and time mismatch, try to set the option to 'Get values from network'. What I mean is to set your time and date to sync with the network time, that way it will stay updated.
Regarding the issue you are facing, I can't get much information on it.
I dont have a 3g account and I dont have a Wi-Fi nearby.
So I cant get values from network...
Any solution?
Thanks.
There is probably no solution for you. Without an active power source, it won't update the time. As I doubt there is a capacitor or battery on the system board to keep the time updated, then when you pull the battery, it just remembers the last time and doesn't update it till you put the battery back in. You're stuck just setting the clock manually in that case then.

Don't pull out the battery.
I agree with Drashna, you need a time source for your phone so with no network connection you can't get one.
Are this failure valid for all HD2 devices or only in mine?
Thanks.
Hi! ive been having same thing lately. not before. have you had it always?
I think this is same thing that happened to my HTC wizard.. its internal battery for clock died after year or so and this EXACTLY same that happened with it. they replaced it at htc when they repaired its screen and it worked afterwards.
or capacitor whatever its real name is.
any more people?
I have had hd2 since january 2010
I had my device for almost a year...
And if I remember right I don't have this failure from the beginning.
it does it on mine for android but normally corrects itself by updating itself fromthe network
