daylight saving times causing problems

I have a cingy 8525...
Is anyone haveing problems with using activesync and outlook calander?
All of my holidays that occur during daylight savings time that appear in my outlook are 1 day off on the 8525. Independance day (4th of July for us Yanks) shows up on the 3rd of July on the 8525, It apprears fine in outlook on my PC. Halloween, which is on Oct 31 -and shows up on the 31 in outlook, show up as Oct 30th on my 8525.
Thanksgiving, which is after DST is fine.
It looks like the appointments end up 1hr off. pushing the holidays back an hour to the previous day. When I create appointments during DST, They are an hour off.
I have checked pc that I sync with and DST is turned on. Outlooks is configured to use DST also. Any ideas?

No solution from me.. but oh.. thats the cause of it. I started to notice I have birthdays 1 day off. Anyway, now you know you are not alone.

This is a known WM5/ Outlook/ Active Sync/ DST etc issue
If you google on Daylight Saving bug wm5 you'll find lots of sites/posts
Unfortunately there appears not to be one single solution or any solution for all.

Over on microsoft's forums, They suggested it was a problem with time being updated by the tower. I turned off automatic tower updates and the problem went away. This morning I turned it back on and re-tested and things seemed back to normal. I think cingy was doing something to the tower that was causing the handset to ignore DST.
Is there a way to log what is being updated when the handset receives the updates.

Focus/WP7 is Data Hog!

I was finally able to get an update on my data use since launch day, Nov 8th. I connected to the net via AT&T 3G for the first time at 10:48am Nov 8th, AT&T's last update for me is at until 12:07am Nov 10th, I've used.... Ar you ready for this.. 614.69 MB Data in the first 37.75 hours I have owned the Focus, my first smartphone btw.

There's gotta be something wrong on their end. I've had that phone for almost exactly the same amount of time and am at 64MB for my current cycle. Fortunately I'm grandfathered in with the old unlimited plan...
Have you called tech support?

How many apps did you download? I know that really large apps for wifi/usb for download, but I had some large spikes on my 3G also.
I'm keeping an eye on it too, but it was roughly around when I started downloading a bunch of apps on the marketplace

Something is up for sure. After Id been asleep for about an hour on the 10th, my phone sent ~47.5MB of data.

My phone was plugged into the wall charger on night stand next to bed. I was out cold by 11PM on the 9th. Hmm.. I notice all data usage displayed on my account page with AT&T shows only 'sent' data, not received. Is that normal? Should it show sent and received?
Nov 8th, my original set up was at home, using Zune to ad apps, music, videos, etc. Got to work and powered down, plugged into wall to charge, phone popped back on automatically and everything was gone. So I downloaded the apps I wanted to tinker with the most over the air.
Nov 9th, I plugged my phone in when I got to work, I streamed Zune and Last.FM music for most of the day (~5-6 hours). Left phone unplugged from wall to test battery. I used the maps traffic and location service. I have all location services active. I have 4 email accounts linked. Two to send new emails as they are received, one every hour, and one manually. I have xbox live on. I surfed the web a few minutes at a time for maybe 1 hour total browsing with the other 3 hours during work. I also watched the movie "UP" via Netflix/3G (1-2 Bars, which quality was perfect after about 3 minutes). Showed the daughter how to use the maps, search. I also have my pics to auto sink to Sky Drive; but I only took about 5 pics total first two days. I also have record phone location, and find phone location faster checked.

640MB is believable with the usage you say. Lets say you are streaming 5 hrs of music at 64kbps. This will add up to 144MB in music streaming alone. This is not to mention 1.5 hrs of "UP" at a much higher bit rate.

SMS time recieved delay

Hey guys, I noticed my Atrix is posting the good time for my outgoing SMS but my incoming SMS posts a 4 hour difference... I don't understand, I tried rebooting the phone, clearing the cache, but nothing worked... I still get the messages at the right time, but the posted time (only for received messages) is 4 hours late (for example, it's 4PM and I receive a live message, knowing it's been sent live, but the UI posts that I received the message at 12...).
Have any of you been having this problem too? Anything I can do to fix this?

Let me guess...you're on Rogers' network?
This is a known network issue related to their network system and has NOTHING to do with your phone. I've seen this issue with all Android phones on their network.
To fix this minor issue, you need to download a tiny app from the Market that will adjust the timestamp for your timezone. It's called "SMS Time Fix" by Matthew Precious(?) and it works great. It doesn't use any CPU cycles (it does, but it's so minimal you can't even see it) or resources on your phone. I've been using it since Aug 2010 and no issues.

thank you this was driving me nuts

[Q] Text messages get garbled with old messages?

Every couple of days, I get a text message from my girlfriend (she uses an iPhone 4 on Verizon) where the first half of the message is one thing and halfway through it appends a completely different, older text message. For example, this one came in 4 days ago:
"I wanna do something cool during the day tomorrow, like Enchanted Rock or something, so bring proper outdoor workout attire or shorts if we just go to Lought of losing it gets me so scared haha. <3 It"
In this case, the first message should have read "I wanna do something cool during the day tomorrow, like Enchanted Rock or something, so bring proper outdoor workout attire or shorts if we just go to Lockhart or something" but it appended an old message halfway through where she was telling me about the thought of losing her ring that I bought her, scares her.
I looked at that particular message detail and it says it was sent at 7:00PM and received at 6:59PM on Feb. 22, which makes no sense. The second message that it appended was from many many days before (I scrolled through back as far as I could to Jan 30 and never found that conversation we were having about her losing her ring, so it must have occurred before then).
I am using my Nexus 4 with a monthly T-Mobile sim on the $30 plan (unlimited text, unlimited data (5GB), 100 minutes talk). I get terrible reception in my apartment which is where I am at most of the time when she sends me messages, so I thought maybe that had something to do with it. I have not noticed this issue with anyone else yet, but honestly I don't really text much with anyone else, and those messages that I do send/receive are never very long compared to what she sends me. I am curious if anyone else has seen this problem and if it is a service-related issue or a phone issue.

I have the exact same problem... I'll do you one better and say that I randomly don't get text messages either. Same exact situation as you. She's in Verizon with an iphone and I have the $30 prepaid with t-mobile. I have tried everything under the sun and cannot fix the problem... Its really starting to tarnish my view on the phone and the $30 plan... If you've found any solutions please let me know.

If you're having this issue with only one sender, the issue is far more likely to be the sender's phone, carrier, or the third party the carrier uses for intercarrier SMS than your own phone. Having the sender contact their customer support is generally the best option.
Only if you're having the issue with multiple (or all) senders on multiple carriers including your own is it likely that your phone or carrier is at fault.

recover text message from iPhone
I'll take you through all the possibilities of recovering the text messages from iPhone.
=> Check for iCloud backup if you have any so that you can restore the SMS saved on iCloud.
=> Check for iTunes backup. Download and install the free software "iPhone Backup Extractor" and launch the app. It will automatically search for any backups on your computer.
=> Check for your lost text message in Windows/Users/Contacts folder. There are times when iTunes saves the text messages in this folder.
Hope one of these methods will help you.

[Q] Nexus 4 repeated signal loss and calls not coming through

I've got some serious issues with my Nexus 4, I've found posts with similar problems but not exactly what I have. I'm at a loss what to do next so any advice would be much appreciated.
I bought a N4 around March this year, direct from Google, and connected it to TPG Mobile here in Australia which uses the Optus network.
It was fine until about the end of May or beginning of June where it started losing signal regularly. First thing I noticed is it would start dropping calls and displaying "No network available", the triangular status bar at the top would go blank (completely black, not grey) for about 30 seconds, then it would return to normal signal and I could make calls again. However it would do this every few minutes, whether I was on a call or not, and each time it would last roughly 30 seconds and then return to normal.
Around the same time I started to receive SMS on either a delay, or they'd arrive on-time, but then keep sending multiple times for about the next hour.
I rang Google, they got me to go through recovery mode, then it worked fine, for about 24 hours, before it started again. They sent me a new device, which did the same thing within hours of activation, so I requested a 3rd device. At the same time I thought it might be the sim card, so I got a new one of those too.
My 3rd device and new sim card worked perfectly for about 3 days then the same problem started. Factory resets etc seem to fix the problem for either minutes or hours, but never permanently.
Then last week I noticed further weird symptoms, I started getting the usual sms to say someone had called and left a voicemail, however my phone never showed any sign of a call (visual, audio or missed call in the call log). I confirmed with several people who tried calling me and they confirmed the phone rang on their end before going to VM. I tried it myself from a landline and it randomly rings or doesn't ring on my end, however I also noticed when I hung up on the landline without answering my Nexus 4, it continued to ring indefinitely, ie. it hadn't registered the caller hung up.
My provider assures me there isn't an issue in my area, my wife uses the same provider (with an iphone) and has not had these issues. I can't swap sim cards with her though as she has a full-size sim. I tried another sim with my phone for a few hours and it worked fine, however my phone with my sim will sometimes go a whole day without issues so it wasn't long enough to truly test it.
I've deleted all apps that might somehow affect it and the hasn't helped either.
Basically I'd like to know is this likely to be a phone issue, and I pursue the issue with Google, or some sort of network/sim issue and I pursue it with my provider?
