Ive had the x1 xperia for 2 days and am still learning, but please help!
I want to have a panel at the front that shows the time and date. ive set the correct time and date in the settings, but on my panels it shows up an hour behind, and a day behind. To solve this problem for now, i have changed the time and date forward an hour/day to show the correct time and date on my panel.
I would do this and settle for it, but then in my messages and photos etc it shows the time and date i have put in (the wrong time n date - an hour/day forward) so either way i do it, something on my phone is showing the wrong time. what do i do?!
Please help!

set your city in the panel settings (city 1).

What ^^^ said, it is a stupid way that SE has coded the panels and you have to set the time independently even though the system time is ok.

Remember to check the summertime box in the city settings. It is not done automatically.
thank you! i hadnt set it to summertime, sorry for being so dumb! The instruction booklets do not go through everything so i was a bit confused! Thanks again

Oh my god, thank youuuuu! Even with all the amazingly cool things that this site has to offer, that has got to be the best advice I've found so far! That stupid clock thing has been driving me nuts, now I can wake up in the morning and not get confused when I check the time

Hey I got my XDA Exec this morning which I'm really please about, been using it for a couple of hours but for some reason the clock has disappeared from the title bar in the today screen and I can't get it back!
Does anyone know what might have happened, about the only thing I've got installed is Pocket Plus 3.
Infact i've noticed that the volume icon is gone too, but if i click where it should be the pop-up appears for me to change the volume levels.
It's like there is something covering these two icons and it's driving me mad, having the time visible there is about one of the most useful things :twisted:
This is a common problem
This happened to me too. It was caused by the O2 software. If you do a search on this site using the words "clock missing" there have been many posts on this subject and the solutions of how to remove the O2 software are posted too.
The O2 interface also seems to slow up the machine and cause a lot of freezing requiring a soft reset. My machine has been tons better since removing it.
If you decide that you would rather have the clock than the O2 software (and most people do) and decide to remove it, remember first of all to save your phone and GPRS setting to your filestore! This can save you a lot of time. If you like the 02 today screen theme then you could save this too.
Also I recommend that you make a backup first so that you can go back to how you are now if you need to.
Good Luck
Open the clock and you should find an extra tab at the bottom called - "More" select that and a new option appears Display the clock on the title bar in all programs.
Neither of those options worked, in the end I hard resetted the device and set it up in corporate mode I found using a PIN I got by just searching google! No more O2 Active anywhere, and I've got my clock back! I'd only had the device a few hours so luckily it didn't take too long to set everything back up how it was before hand The only thing I had to do was manually set up the GPRS connection again but that was simple enough since I already had all the settings saved
I have a MDA Vario. In SETTINGS --> TODAY --> ITEMS tab, what is "Today timeout", which is set at "4 hr" by default?? Does anyone know pls? I do not see any reference to it in the manual. Thx.

I think that's the amount of time after which it will return to the today screen if you left it with an app open and didn't touch it.
i tried it last night by leaving a game running, but it was still there when i got up the next day. it does seem to be the function u described, mate. Anyone else have any ideas pls?
A game will certainly work differently as it will request permanent focus and fullscreen. Just try with a standard app like calendar...
well, it was only a simple solitaire card game, but nonetheless I will try standard one like you suggested. But if this "timeout" function really is to return to TODAY screen, what is the real use of it? to timeout in 4 hours? and the longest possible time option is 12 hours.
Doesn't it simply stop refreshing the today screen (ie the clock and other values)?
It still refreshes the clock when you put it into sleep mode. However, after a number of hours it always takes some time for the clock to jump to the correct time.
It is the idle time before the Today screen is shown.
It's near useless, I almost always keep my today screen on anyway, because who wants to wait 4hours to see it
Use my TodayButton app if you want quick access to the Today screen...

personally, I always return to the TODAY screen anyway by shutting down applications after i'm done with them. I just thought this "timeout" thing was a sophisticated and useful function, but it turns out to be quite the opposite. But i will never understand why anyone want to design it to timeout in HOURS and not in minutes.
I'm the same, I shut down apps and always leave it on the Today screen!

Doesn't the Red button do that anyway?
Nah, red button minimises apps to leave them running in the background (I think it actually just switches to the today screen). Some don't mind this, but for me, if I want the app open, I'll open it, and when I want it closed, I want it closed.
VJOkButt allows you to use the red button to minimse or close, and also properly close the phone to save around 3mb memory. But it does this sympathetically with the phone, so if you're in the phone, it hangs up, but otherwise it's a minimiser.

Morale of the story.... no one knows it. I always keep it disabled. So no big deal.
Had PDF softcopy of Reference Manual of my O2AL, and searched with no hint at all. Lets be it.....
I thought...
Guys,
I just stumbled upon this thread and thought it might be a good idea to get educated. I never knew it.
But this is what I thought - I thought it is the time slot to show appointments.
Means, if you chose a slot of 4 hours, and there are continuous meetings scheduled in your calender (and display of them enabled), then it would act like a rolling 4 hours window (read as slot).
Does this make sense? I never had so many appointmens, but always thought this was the use of it.
Comments please.
What does the Today Time OFF do? I tried changing the time off and I can't seem to notice any difference if I set it to 1 hour or 12 hours.
Hello Christian,
You're going to have to be a bit more precise. What Today Time Off?
Perhaps you're talking of this setting, which has mystified many:
Under Start/Settings/Today, the second tab (Items), has a "Today Timeout" option that never seems to do anything.
What this option actually does, is that if your device has been off for the selected amount of time (1hr - 12hr), the operating system will hide (minimise) all the active windows, and bring the Today Screen to the foreground. This is useful for those people that run Today items with information they would like to check (stock tickers, calendar viewers), and not have to be reminded that they had a game running last time they were using the device.
If this is not it, please be more specific. :lol:

no need hard reset,just uncheck the "daylight saving time" which in city's options and you'll get the right time.

Belive me i try do everythink,probably 20X i make change,time,time zone,restart, and still one panel (only one) show me wrong time.But wright now is everythink OK.But next week i have again trip to same city in different zone,i hoppe that this situation don t happen to me again. Wrong time and small sun icon.
did you try unchecking time auto update
oops, this might not do you any good if you want your clock to update automatically when you get into a new time zone.
This thing annoyed me since the start:
"Oh look what a nice date selection dialogue HTC made for WM 6.5 calendar, big squares to select days of the month and nifty slide animation to change month [2 minutes later...] hey what the... do I need to manually slide thirtysix months to check appointments 3 years in the past??"
Up until now, nothing has changed.
I can not manually input the date inside the date field using the keyboard, I just have the option to open the big nice dialogue that becomes totally useless if you need to select days that are more than half a year distant in any direction on the timeline.
Is there a workaround for that?
Any idea, anyone, anywhere? Or am I the only one who has ever needed to check the calendar ahead in the future or back in the past more than just a few months?
not sure i get u?? u can press menu and select year...

oh well, no, you really got me instead
I am amazed I never thought about selecting yearview to switch years, I've been used for too long with WM 6 and manually entering the year from within the agenda view
Thank you for pointing out to me the obvious, that was probably so much obvious I couldn't grasp it on my own
