Alarm goes off an hour early...

My phone automatically adjusted itself for daylight savings but now all my alarms go off an hour early. For instance, I set an alarm for 3pm and it will go off at 2pm showing that it should go off at 3pm but still showing 2pm on the phone clock. Hope that wasn't too confusing. Anyways, has anyone else dealt with this and know a fix? Thanks guys.

alarm fix
set your alarm a hour later
lol sorry some had to say it apart from that have nothing to suggest

You might try changing the time zone and changing it back. I had a similar problem with my Cingular 8125 after DST.

All you have to do is reset the alarm time, that will be fine. I got the same problem when my phone ajust to DST.

Hey guys .. newbie here. Great forum by the way, I'm very glad I found this place as it sure does have a lot of useful info on it!!
I'm having a similar problem here, and I'm curious if there might be a patch for it. I have a Cingular 8125 and my clock keeps going back an hour all the time, which in turn messes up my alarm, appointments, etc. I did change the time zone to -7 Eastern instead of -6 Central but I'd really like to get this fixed for good. I heard there's a patch available, but dunno where to find it.
Any help is appreciated!

Clock Automatic Update Issue?

Hi is anyone else having issues with the clock not automatically updating?
I went abroad last week and even through I have the option checked in settings/phone/time zones the clock did not update to the new time zone - any help appreciated...

Just bumping this back up as it's really bugging me - anyone else had this problem?

set time zone popup

duno if anyones had this problem yet but my phone keeps popping up asking what time zone even tho ive set it many times. ive hit done clear and ok but it doesnt matter .. this becomes a problem when your in the middle of taking a video or responding to an emial or whatever and it pops up randomly. .. ive searched but im not getting relavent results .. any help is appreciated

Time zone popup
I am having the same issue... was not happening on stock ROM but have had the issue with the 2.5 manilla on multiple roms.. the current rom i have only pops up once in a while.. but previous roms were having the popup every few seconds.. would like to know if anyone has figured the issue out also...

I think its an issue with Manilla 2.5. Thats why I have that feature disabled.
Are you guys using TP2 in T-Mobile service? I am using TP2 in AT&T, I thought maybe that was the issue! But I guess its the compatibility!

yeah its on tmobile for me tmobile branded as well... does it in all roms it sems very annying i was doing a recording and it popped up stopping my record same with video .. NOT GOOD.. hope someone who knows an answer will respond cus im surprised anyone did at all at this point

It has to do with the bands, if you are on 3g and lose 3g service it switches to edge which brings up the time zone pop up... it's very annoying.

ok well that kinda makes sense its nice to have a reason for its stupidity lol ... so why isnt there a fix ? the kaiser and mogul never did that.. the only thing ive sen was a rom i tried that had in the changelog something about time zone fix or whatever but it still happened on that rom too

This also seems to occur quite often after locking my phone and unlocking it with the pin number. Makes sense after reading this topic why the time zone selection appears after you unlock it. If someone can create a cab fix for this, it would be most appreciated! Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I tried to ignore it but it is getting kind of annoying. I have flashed about 6 different ROMs in the past week and it is happening with all of them. After finding this thread, I tried to make some changes to see if I could get the Time Zone settings to stop popping up and may have fixed it. I noticed that under "Items" in the "Today" settings, HTC Home was selected in addition to TouchFLO 3D. I disabled HTC Home and have not noticed the Time Zone settings pop up since then. If someone else can try this, we may be able to confirm this as a fix for the Time Zone pop ups.

If you go into settings>personal>phone> time zones that should fix the problem. I've done it on all my flashes and it works.

OMG
someeh
been looking everywhere for this fix thank you much!!!

It has been over 4 hours and I have not gotten a Time Zone pop up... Has anyone else tried disabling HTC Home? If so, please post your results.

Since my last post I disabled auto update of timezone and still haven't had one. I was going to flash a different rom because of this, THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!

welcome, I meant to post it sooner just lost track of time

Can somebody please help me with my clock problem?

This is driving me crazy.
There is no rhyme or reason to it. It happens with any ROM, with any number of applications running and at any time. I can not pinpoint any specific activity that triggers it.
I'm on my eighth ROM at least and it is still happening, driving me crazy. Current ROM is Miri WM 6.5 21887, V 34.0, Radio is 1.17.25.09, SPL is 1.56.OliNex
My problem is this; I live in the Pacific Time Zone (GMT-8) For no apparent reason, after some time, my location for the clock only changes to Eastern Time Zone (GMT-5) My clock is then three hours off. I change the location settings under Time/Date back to the PST zone and it sticks for a short while but then later I check my time and BAM, it's back to thinking we're on the eastern seaboard.
If you have any idea what could be causing this please share with me. I've done hard resets up the yingyang, back to stock several times, etc. etc. Believe me, I've spent days and days trying everything I could think of.
Thank you so much if you can help me.

Just a thought: could this be related to the "My Location" feature ? I mean, if all the ROMs behave the same, it is, obviously, not a software problem and it cannot be a hardware problem. I'm thinking maybe the GSM towers, or maybe the IP address of your Internet connection are (erroneously) identified as being in the GMT-5 timezone. Try disabling My Location and all the services related to it (weather updates and stuff) and see if this happens again. I would really be interested to know if this will solve your problem, because I've had a discussion with someone concerning the My Location service and the possibility of such a problem occuring.
Hope to hear good news from ya !

I did try the location services on and off and it had no bearing on it. But, crazy as it is, it just stopped doing it after I posted this and has been good so far. I can't explain it. The only thing I changed in that time period was downgrading the radio so maybe that had something to do with it but I can't see how. I'm on 1.14.24.25 right now so I'm not going to mess with it.
Thanks for your suggestion, I should have mentioned that I did try deactivating the location services in my original post.

Phone keeps changing time zones

Hi all, my TMOUS HD2 randomly changes time zones from EST to PST at least 2-3 times a week on its own when I have "my location" picked as a time. Anyone else have this problem? I flashed to the new T-mo ROM about 3 months ago...Tj

My device and a friend's device is having the same issue. This is irrelevant to the ROM as I am running a Artemis after the 3.14 and my friend is on 1.48

mine just recently started doing that..keeps putting me in the GMT -5 (Indiana) time zone instead of the -4 (Atlantic) I've had to change it like 3 times in one day. Never had a problem with this b4. Wonder if it has anything to do with the ThrottleLauncher WP7 theme i installed on it the other night..because that time setting seems to be changing to.

my uk hd2 keeps doing this over the last week or so, randomly jumping ahead timezones. it's persisted accross multiple energy roms and a stock rom.
weird

my HD2 was doing this but only when i would go home to visit in Richmond TX. When i would update weather manually it would switch to eastern time zone. I think this is because the phone thinks I am in Richmond VA so it switches to Eastern time. I havent found a viable fix for this but its not really an issue.
IS there a chance you are using your phone in a city or town that has a common name in another state? this might be the reason. While riding my motorcycle a while back i stopped in London Arkansas and my phone thought I was in London UK.

same Indiana time zone default issue. I HAVE THE LATEST 3.14 original ROM with c00kie's home tab.

Same here with the original ROM installed. I live in GMT+1 timezone and it sets my time one hour ahead at least 5x a day. Pretty annoying.

Hmmm... wondering if this issue has no fix, or if its not wide spread enough... It DEF has something to do with CUSTOM roms, because both me and my wifes HD2 worked like champs for a month straight out of the box, with location services and the whole nine with out ANY problems, I flashed ChuckyROM and here it is... No matter how many times i change the timezone, no matter how many soft resets, no matter how many ROMS flashed, the time keeps jumping... sometimes one hour, sometimes 2, it onlys corrects when i DISABLE all time syncs and locations... WHICH SUCKS and shouldn't be the fix... ANY HELP would be appreciated , THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi folks!
Pls. check & use this!

It should fix all time zone issuse... Just give me a feedback!
Regards,
MrT69

That happened to me a long time ago. And I remember I fixed it either by checking/unchecking something on the Windows Mobile Device Center (or ActiveSync), something in the sort of NOT synchronizing Outlook items (no problem with me because I never use that anyway; I use MyPhone instead).

think i have a fix
disable the option in settings - menu - all settings - personal - phone - gsm/umys services - time synch
you can leave the option in settings - data services - internet time sync enabled.
not sure why its changed, i have stock everything....

I know the problem
Hello,
I know this problem.
And I think I know the reason for this "acting out".
It started for my HD2 at the day of the
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME change.
I believe the makers of that phone forgot to install
a daylight savings option.
It would be great, if someone could make a clock that will do that,
or that will verify the time with a different time service,
taking into account daylight savings time (winter/summertime).

Nope. Its a problem for org ROMs also. It probably has somting to do with the Internet-provider or the providers of weather-app etc.
In my case the "my lokation" in the weather-app is showing wrong place. This error appeared at the same time as the clock-problem.
