I travel a lot and when I change the phone time zone it also changes appoinment times in the to the appropriate time in the new time zone. Eg if I am in Sydney and next week I have a 9am appointment in Singapore I have to either change the time zone to Singapore time enter the appoinment and change the time zone back or leave it in Sydney time and calculate the time difference. Thus the 9am Singpaore appointment would be enterd as 11am whilst in Sydney. The risks and dangers are obvious.
If anyone has a tweak to stop appointment times being changed with the time zone it would be sincerely appreciated

OK, I live in eastern Indian where we just joined the eastern time zone with daylight savings. Previsouly the time did not change for dls and in the winter it was eastern and summer central time zones.
Now the conundrum, my wizard keeps resetting itself to the old US Eastern (Indiana) time. No matter what I change, it keeps resetting itself and I'm an hour off. So, how do I keep it from doing this, is there a registry change?
Thanks, simple question and hopefully simple answer

Search on "TimeZone" you will find the answer. This is a known issue with AKU 2.2 & 2.3 Roms. New feature allow you to Sync Time with network but many Cell Towers have incorrect timezones (even though the time is correct for locals).
Thanks for the tip, was just searching on the wrong thing.
This does not always happen when I connect my 8525 but it seems to jump 15 and a half hours into the future. this is really a pain in the butt and seems to have only statrted happening since I landed in Canada in an Eastern time zone. ( normally reside in Texas cst time )
Has any experienced this? I have SBP plus loaded running weather and time right now. Only other program is World Mate Pro. Nothing else on the device.
Hi,
I'm in Aus and have an imate JasJam and some of us over here were having the same troubles.
What we found was the time was being updated automatically over the phone network to be in sync with the providers time, but it also looks at the time zone. In Victoria, Aus, I kept having a problem with my clock being an hour out, and it ended up being that the network was sending the wrong time zone information.
To fix this, we opened up the phone dialer and selcted menu, options.If you scroll to the right you'll see the tab time zones, and uncheck the "Automatic change time zone and clock"
Then change your timezone back to what you want and set the time to what it needs to be, soft reset and hopefully everything will be ok.

I did what you said and reset my time back to my home city in cst. Since I am still in an est time zone when I turned the phone back on it automatically went to the est time zone to the correct time and did not jump to 15 hours into the future. I am ok with this since the phone has never moved to the correct time zone based on the network before which I like. As long as it does not do the crazy 15 hour jump I am ok. I will hook it up to sync a few times today and see what happens.
did you try to untick the synchronize time of device with pc or something in the options under tools tab of microsoft active sync?
Time Sync Issue Here - Help
I'm having a similar problem. Sometimes when connected to sync computer the timezone changes from EST to AST, but I have no settings on either device to cause this.
Help!!! Time Out of Sync
I have an HTC branded version of the TyTn. Every time I plug it in and try to sync the time goes 1 hour back and my future appointments move. I tried looking for the "time zones" tab previously reffered to and apparently my phone doesnt have such a tab. Any sugestions?
I can't seem to reason why the device spontaneously changes from my time zone (EST) to the Atlantic Time Zone. All settings have been checked on both the computer the 8525 is synced with and the device itself. Any suggestions?

Thanks though I did check previous threads
The advice was good however I don't have an option in my clock settings to disable the automatic time update. This AST from EST change also occurs when I reset the device. Do I have another recourse to force the device to remain in current settings?

This is more of a bump than anything else but I'll ask the following question (not because I know an answer but someone else might):
When you say time changes spontaneously I presume you mean - not only when on Active Sync i.e. that the time is coming from your network??
Mike
Clarification
Clarification two events cause the time zone shift from EST to AST:
1. Consistently with activesync, but not 100% of the time. The time zone will shift only sliding to AST, so 7am EST becomes 8am AST.
2. On soft reset the time value remains the same and time zone shifts, so 7am EST becomes 7am AST.
I don't think this is a provider time update issue rather a software issue.
Moving it to the head of line
Thanks for any help.
I can one up your problem with my 8525. At least daily, my phone spontaneously changes forward 3 hours. But the time zone remains at EST. I don't have to use activesync or anything, it will just change when it feels like it. Occasionally, it backs up 1 hour but it always does one or the other. This has been happening since I got it in Nov 2006. Of course cingular offers no help at all but to say it's a daylight savings time problem. Incidentally my smartphone before this (audiovox smt5600) did the same thing, and occassionally changed the current date to my sister's birthday 2 years before current year---and NO, I didn't forget her birthday! Any ideas at all???
Ok I know people see this issue and I have seen posts for it, but no one ever posts if there is a fix. I live in Arizona, we dont observe daylights savings time here. Well on my Wing if I choose Arizona time for the time zone everything appears to work ok untill the phone changes the time zone to Mountain and then throws of all my appointments in the calendar by 1 hour. I tried disabling the option to automatically change the time based on time zone but no luck. I set the phone to AZ or mountain after the change and all my appointments do not revert then i have to go in and edit all of those. It does not matter what ROM I am running it ssems to happen on all, currently I am running Open Touch 7.3.
Hi there, I just sent a message on Google Talk to a friend, at 5:25pm, there reply came back with a time stamp 4:27pm, so appeared above the message I sent?!?!?
I noticed something similar on a calendar event. My shift in the calendar looks to be 7am to 4pm, which is an hour early. When I tap it, still 7-4, when I press details it finally says 8 to 5, which I know it to be.
Any ideas what is going on? This is a rather major issue if I don't know what time meetings are booked!
Thanks.
**EDIT** Okay, silly me, it looks like it might be as simple as I was set to GMT not BST... Quite why in one view it showed 8am and others it showed 7am seems a little odd...
Mine was showing the correct time but an hour wrong for timezone after initial setup, despite me choosing the correct option at the time. Was resolved by going into settings, date & time, and choosing (for me) London, UK, which then correctly set the timezone as GMT+1 (British Summer Time). I also then had to correct the clock by an hour.
I think that during initial setup it doesn't take into account the difference between BST and GMT for UK users, and sets it to GMT regardless.
