Time Zone - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

I am very pleased with my Diamond, Have it with the sbp shell and love the appearance and functionality.
Been having trouble since it continuously and by itself changes my time zone from central america to prague, budapest. Its been creating me a mess with my emails, SMS, and appointments
Does anyone know why this happens and how can I lock my time zone?

happens to me too
my timezone is eastern and often times it changes my clock 3 hours forward even though the timezone still says eastern. and I have to change it back manually

How to set reminder time for 'all day event'?

At the moment - I get woken up every day at 6am by my Trion reminding me I have an all day event that day scheduled in my calender.
How can I set this to go off at 9am instead by default please?
Thanks for any help!
Dan
you set it in clocks and alarmes in settings
Can't find anything in there apart from setting specific alarm times which is not quite what I want.
I need it so that when I create an 'all day event' in the calander with a reminder, that that alert time is relative to say 9am and not 6am!
Technically it would have made sense to have the all day event alert at 12 midnight but that wouldn't have been much better for my sleep than 6am...
Uncheck "all day event" and set the meeting to start at 9am, then select the rest of the day in the calendar........
Yeah except I synchronise my pda with Outlook.
Outlook puts 'all day events' in a separate section at the top, allowing me to schedule other things during the day. If i set it to start at 9am and finish at 9pm it has the disadvantage of
1. being a longer process
2. blocking up the day
Surely they can't mean to wake everyone up at 6am every day there is an all day event??
Dan
Shouldn't an 'all day event' block the whole day anyway?
It seems you're not using 'all day events' as they are intended, and then complaining that they are not working the way you want them to work.
You must be an executive.
I'm assuming you're already at work for these 'all day events' of yours that all start at 9am but don't take up the whole day, so just turn the reminders for them off altogether.
Forums are for being helpful..
Dear Doom, it has to be said that your suggestion was not helpful and your comment as "you must be an executive" was particularly childish. I too have this problem and am not an executive I assure you. What kind of events do I wish to schedule as all day, have a reminder for, but yet have no start time? Scheduling things like birthdays which have no start time and no impact on my day would seem a fair example, it is after that person's birthday all day... Then there are system installs that span whole days, they don't have a time they are expected to start, or end, they are in fact pencilled in for when the engineers arrive. There are also loads of those jobs that have no particular time associtaed with them but need to be done - check tapes, contact customer, etc.
If anyone has a suggestion on how we can schedule events making use of the Outlook reminder facility, without logjamming our Calendar and without being woken up at midnight or 6AM it would be appreciated! My Outlook is configured so my working day starts at 8AM.
Sounds like that would be better served by using tasks....
Yep. Listen to AlbertoM.
I too have suffered this problem and now have to set the reminder to n.5 days (e.g. 1.5 days) so that the reminder goes off at 12 noon rather than midnight. Bit of pain having to remember to do this but it is better than getting woken.
in outlook you can set it as 'busy'. Can you do the same thing in calandar on the 8525/tytn?
Even I had a similar problem waking up at midnight, I thought there must be a way to fix it and I was lazy to look for it. Since this post came up, I thought of building something up to convert all my 'All day events' to fixed time events.
Here it is

I am not sure if it completely solves the problem but might help someone
This could also be handled easily if you have outlook installed on your desktop. Just go into options and on the preferences tab select calendar options and adjust the start and end times, as far as I know this just highlights those hours differently as they are considered your peak hours. The begin time you set will also be the time your all day event reminders go off. Sync your device and these settings will be applied to your device as well.

Are you sure on the above? I have already the Start time and the End Time set in outlook on pc. Still my device notifies me at 12:00 AM for all day events.
Is there any other setting to change?

My appologies you are correct i must have been thinking back to my last palm device. Oddly enough i'm suprised i haven't set up a all day event with a reminder to have noticed this That is very odd that this is the way it is handled. I mean it makes sense and all since 12am is when the device moves the date forward. Kinda makes me wonder when my first birthday reminder goes off 2 weeks in advance, guess i'll be woken up at the the stroke of midnight 2 weeks prior to the birthdate.
marnel47 you don't have to apologize it is obvious to assume that device would notify to on your start of the day, even though it is logically correct to wake up at 12:00 AM. But there should have been some setting to notify at day start time. (Exactly same behavior is experienced on the desktop reminder too)

SMS time wrong

I have a problem with message arrival time on my Niki, quite annoying
Clock is gmt+1, and show accurate time but messages show 1 hour in advance.
(for example, now is 10:05 and message arrival is 11:05)
I can't find is there any setting is the clock local or gmt?
Regards,
Zeljko
I´ve the same problem
did you get text from a country gmt +2 ?
when i get text from the uk to austria it depends on the provider - but sometimes it is one hour behind.
I have text from the same country
I also receive sms from same country, even same operator
If I change timezone offset then times for all messages shift accordingly.
Anyhow, I can't remember does this happen prior to daylight_saving_time change
Regards,
and then a new text message will appear under the old one
same problem here =] living in Hungary, receiving texts from a different operator though

sms trouble after installing manilla

HI
love this site you guys rock. I just installed the Touch HD Manila (TF3D) on my x1 and it works great. I am having problems only when i receive text messages. The time index is 5 hour behind the actual time. My phone clock displays the right time also i have no problem when i send text messages. Only when i receive them it displays the time incorrectly.
i have to set my time zone to london +5 to fix this problem, weird. anyway can do it without setting my time zone to london? im in eastern canada by the way.
Hey. I am using an X1A on Fido here in Toronto and I have the same issue. All my received SMS are 5 hours behind. My X1A is stock - no changes to the ROM and I have yet to install any software (CAB files) onto the device. I also always have the Roaming icon showing on the top status bar of the device. Besides these two issues everything seems to work fine. Curious if you happened to find the cause of the problem and a solution that doesnt involve setting my location to somewhere in Europe.
Here's a fix: It's a common problem and it has to do with the provider, ATT/Rogers. Just apply the registry fix.

SMS time stamp error

When I send SMS to other friends and they receive it with the correct time stamp. When they send me SMS I get them with time stamp of - 5 hours. The only thing I discovered is I live in Eastern Canada so I set my time zone accordingly, funny enough it is the GMT -5, and setted up the time to be my local time.
The only solution I found is to set my time zone to be London, GMT 0, with my real local time and all my SMS are now OK.
Now, is it possible there is a software bug on Windows mobile 6.x?
even i hv the same issue..whenevr i receive sms, the time shows 5 hours ahead!!!! i hope this is a bug..any soln???
Than your time zone must be set at GMT +5? Put it back to GMT London
I guess the answer is here:

Sms times?

I got my x1 a few days ago and I'm in love with it, but the sms bugs me a bit. When ever I receive text's from my friends the time is always wrong. Is there anyway to fix this?
maybe you configured the wrong time zone! take at look at this setting
everything is set to the correct times except for the recieved text time.
Is it just the hour which is incorrect? If so, are they in a different time zone? Whenever I get a text from my international friends, the time displayed is the current time where they are located.
yes, its just the hour that is incorrect and all the text i get from from local friends

i have noticed that the time displayed when receving an sms, it shows the time as per the senders phone time.
