Good day to you all.
I have purchased the x1i for sometime now and I ran into my first snag. My job requires me to travel a lot around North America. So I find it handy when I can change time zones with my Xperia.
My problem is I tried to change the time zone Saint John's located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Where its suppose to be GMT -3:30 hours but I'm getting GMT -5 hours.
Is there a way I can fix this in my registry?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah, that happens to me all the time. It fixes itself over time. I never did anything about it.
Interesting!
I wonder if I upgrade my ROM if that will solve the problem?
I think the original programmer's mistake was to confuse St. John vs. St. John's.
How did your phone fix itself?
Anyone else care to help out?
i think there's a feature that the phone can change its time via network operator.

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.
I live in Australia on Sydney time (GMT +10 [+1 DLS]) and have my JasJam set for Sydney time. But after a soft reset to goes to Hobart which doesn't account for the DLS time.
Does anyone else have problems with moving timezones?
disable the timezone setting in the phone settings..im in queensland and also get Slobart time, maybe a bug already speaking with telstra tech support about it
Thanks for the suggestion. I never thought to look for timezone settings in the Phone Settings. I'll give try and report back if it holds.
Edit: Well, after a soft-reset I am still in Sydney so it looks like that worked. THANKS!
Hi all,
Today i finally got my Blackstone and have configuring to use with my next work. I think I got everything configured except for a strange issue with text messages. When I receive a message, it shows the received time as 5 hours off. I have checked the regional settings, it is showing correct time, I am in eastern time zone, is there something else I should be checking?
Thanks in advance.

i believe you are on FIDO network . it's not your problem.
is your text message from another time zone?
LOL, being on Fido network will cause this?? Actually I am on Rogers, but they are both owned by the same company anyway...
The text message was from another Rogers customer in the same time zone.
try getting sms from a few networks first . i think its the network problem most of the time
Ok, time to wake up some people then....
Found work around
I think I found a work around. I am not sure if this is the right way or not. I set the time zone to London GMT with Eastern STD date and time and it seems to be doing the trick for now.
I had the same problem as you and I'm also on rogers. This seemed to fix it for me.

That did it, thank you very much. I needed to install the cab file and then do a soft reset. It's working as it should now though, thanks again.

yep, there you go, never trust cell tower's time zone, who knows where your text message went before reaching your nearest tower.
Heh

Hahahaha oh great, like if I wasn't paranoid enough about the damn phone companies, you had to mention this More fuel for my paranoia!!
Will this cure the problem in getting sms from a different time zone and it not displaying the time difference?
My Trinity used to do this perfectly but on the Touch all messages from CZ come through as my local time

I don't know if this will help in your case, cause in my case my text messages were showing London time zone.
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.
So has anyone had an issue with their HD2 Leo giving the wrong time? I was visiting family back in Richmond TX for the week and everytime I went to Richmond TX my phone would move up an hour and when I went to check the time it would say Eastern Time Zone. Im assuming it thinks im in Richmond VA. Does this everytime. THen when I would go back to my other home in Sugar Land TX it would move back the hour to the correct time.
Anyone has a wierd issue like this with your phone? I would figure only people possibly living in a city that has a name common in other states might have this issue. I was in another town called London while I was riding and my phone would think I was in London UK.
im in sugarland, and my phones time has been acting weird all week, maybe its due to my android install but its too strange that this could be a coincidence..
you have to set the phone to local time and you can do that by going to the alarm clock and selecting the world clock and then put the green dot on "my location" and then the phone will automatically adjust the time based upon where you are.
I'm having the same problem. It seemed to go wrong after I tried to install andriod. I have re flashed the stock ROM but the phone is still acting very strange as far as the time is concerned.... Help?
DST?
im in the UK, and we have juyst put the clocks back by an hour after British Summer Time has ended (DST) on sunday 31st October.
since then my HD2 has attempted to reset the time and keeps randomly changing it, yesterday is was showing as no longer on BST and still showing me an hour ahead, today it has randomly changed from 10:30 am to 1:30pm.
not quite sure what is going on with it, when ever i request carrier time it keeps reverting to 1 hour forward but not on BST.
hopefully it will reslove itself over time. if not looks like will have to turn off some of the location services and stick to manual city location within world clock.
