Hi all,
I have at last found a deception point with my blackstone
I have a problem with the timezone. I set it to (+1) Paris, Madrid. All is well, and my appointments after the 29th of March (summertime date) are OK.
If I reset my blackstone, or simply wait for the next day, then the time zone is back to (+1) Prague (first zone for +1 zone), and then all my appointments after the 29th of March are not correct (one hour before). I think that Prague does not include summmertime...
I have tried several tips (including trying to use "Other town" in alarm&Clock setting), but no result.
any idea ?
thanks in advance !

Are you sure that this is happening automatically? As far as I know it is iGo8 (R1), which is responsible for that, so just disable the automatic time zone correction in iGo8 (if it is the case for you).
Thanks for your answer.
well, it seems it is automatic, I have not used Igo8 for a long time :-(
The evening, I set (+1) Paris, and the next morning, (+1) Prague is back !
I have just disable Igo automatic zone correction in Igo, and it does not correct the problem : after a reset, Prague is back again :-((((
And Igo does not seem to stay on the timezone I have set : it returns on the first +1 timezone (Amsterdam).

If you are starting Igo, this is an issue with Igo - one of the versions changed the timezones even if you asked it not to. Update to the most recent version.
"Autocorrectie" & "Tijdzone automatisch inst." disabled.
After a restart of IGO the 'prague' settings are back.
Tought I have the latest version of Igo....
I have seen that this seems to take place in the registry :
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Time\TimeZoneInformation is resetted (almost all bytes to 0).
Even Prague is no more in this key (there is a difference in this key if you set Prague or if you reset the HD and Prague is set automatically).
very strange.....
Could be Activesync fudging around with the settings when you connect to the PC? I had this problem on my Elf for a while but for some reason it suddenly started working OK again.
timezone cannot be set correctly. solution?
Changing the timezone settings through the IGo GUI won't work, dunno why. But , fooling around some other forums, i found this other solution that seems to work, at least for me (igo 8.3.2.1).
You just have to add these following 3 lines to the "sys.txt" configuration file that is in the application directory under the programs folder on your device (es. /Program Files/iGO8/). Hope this works for you too.

I do not use Igo, so this will not work for me.
I have same problem. I set GMT+2 Helsinki Riga and when I made softreset, there's GMT+2 Windhoek. Windhoek isn't first on list so no just exactly same problem, but it keeps changing whatever I do.
it seems that a hard reset has resolved the problem on my Touch HD.

Hi,
Seems to be fixed now.
I don't think it has anything to do with IGO.
Touch the clock -> settings screen opens.
Select/enable the 'visiting' mode/selection.
Set the proper GMT value within the visiting mode.
Close the 'settings' screen by selecting 'ok' in top right corner.
Touch the clock -> settings screen opens.
Select/enable the 'Home' mode/selection.
Set the proper GMT value within the visiting mode if needed.
Close the 'settings' screen by selecting 'ok' in top right corner.
That did the trick for me.
Still wondering if it's running on the visiting mode in the background, or what the heck caused this... but it's working oke now.
you're right, this procedure works for me... during some time...
The next day, the problem was there again...
No more problem since the hard reset.

I have exactly same problem what you have. No matter which rom i use, every time I got this same result that HD is swiching this time zone from GMT+2 Helsinki Riga to GMT+2 Windhoek.
Try disabling 'Automatic change time zone and clock' under 'Settings' 'Phone' to see if that works. Sometimes Networks give out incorrect timzone data and it corrupts the reg key.

Hi,
I have a similar problem, but this doesn't solve my problem.
The only difference is that I installed iGo on my SD card, and I don't have any iGo folder in Program files.
Same thing happens with GMT+8. I select Perth (GMT+8) then ActiveSync decides that it should be reset to the first timezone in the list (Beijing, HK).
I have disabled 'Automatically set Timezone' in the Phone settings and the Timezone is correct on the PC.
Something must have changed because it used to select GMT+8 Ulaanbaatar before (which is last in the GMT+8 list)
Hi,
I have a strange problem... everytime I set the "location" in the time settings of my Blackstone to my home country/city (GMT +2), it automatically changes itself to "GMT Casaplanca" after few days...
I checked the regional settings (Settings>System>Regional Settings), but this seems irrelevant (it is set to English(Canada), which is neither my home country nor Casaplanca).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you tried the following thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544610
well, this thread focuses on a different problem (which is the fact that the time zones are incorrect for some cities). the time zones in my device are correct.but the city which I choose as my home city changes after few days

I had that problem when I had iGo installed and set to automatically sync with gps time &zone which was London.I just unchecked that and it's gone.So if you have iGo 8 check time&zone setting.
How can I disable this feature in the clock? The clock randomly goes to my location instead of to my added location. I disabled My location in the weather tab already, now I want to get rid of it in the clock also.
and I want it to disable :/

How have you disabled my location? In the weather tab , I don't see "My location" ?
Wouln't you just go to the settings tab, click location and disable the service, im new though so havent had much of a chance to play with it.
If you disable the location service in settings, the only thing that happens is that "my location" will not be updated anymore (nor in the weather tab nor in the clock). What I mean is the following:
1.Tapping on the clock shows My Location and other added cities
2. On the weather tab you also have My Location and your own added cities.
I know how to disable My Location on the weather tab, either through a reg modification or Dutty's cab. But I don't know how to do that with the clock (could not find a key for that). And that's bugging me because after each soft reset the weather location in the clock changes to "My Location" instead of my self-choosen city. And because I have disabled the location service and My Location in the weather tab, it will not be updated anymore (of course) and I have to manually switch back everytime to my city of preference.
Nobody has a clue how to do this?? It's really annoying to change manually to my preferred location after every soft reset

Sounds to me like that's your problem right there!
I've disabled it in my weather tab, so it's simply not there, but it's still in my list of clocks. However, I have a city that I added myself as the default clock location, and this is always the selected one when I reset the phone.
The default behaviour is not to reset it to the "my location" location, as yours does. So, removing "my location" is not what's needed. You need it to stop defaulting to it.

Not quite, I also disabled My Location from Weather (using Dutty's), but after a reset the clock insists on going to My Location, instead of the chosen city.
That option is available in the settings menu, data settings and and time synchronization.

disabled time sync in data settings but after a soft reset the clock still persits to choose my location instead of my chosen city. Any other solution?

Up up up !
After an hard reset last week I noticed this fu..ing bug and did the same : disabled my location in meteo tab, and now I'm still looking for an answer.
Sometimes you can spend hours and hours on the Net for some stupid bug, looking for a mystery registry key
Is this the solution ?

And I said to myself : it's quite late now but... this is it.
I finally found (I hope so) the solution, from Inks (thank you by the way) here :
HTC Blackstone: Touch HD > Touch HD General > How to remove My location in home tab (post 19)
It worked for me for the moment, but I didn't refresh meteo this evening as I'm abroad and not using 3G-GPRS when roaming. We'll see when I'll be back home with an active data connection... I hope it won't piss me again.

One of the problems that I've read is that of "My Location". After a bit of searching I found a tool that allows you to add more cities to the default list:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 Weather Editor PPC Edition - xda-developers
Install that application to your phone and then go here AccuWeather.com - US Weather Forecast Search - Local Weather Forecasts
In the "Internation Location" enter the town/city that you live in (I'll use Worcester) and press "GO!".
Click on the relevant link (Worcester, United Kingdom (Worcestershire, England)).
In the URL you'll see loccode=EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester. We're interested in the EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester bit.
Open "Weather City Editor" on the HD2.
Choose "United Kingdom" from the "Country" drop down.
Press "Add City".
Choose (GMT) in "Time Zone".
Type Worcester in "City".
Type EUR|UK|UK248|WORCESTER in "AccuWeatherCode".
Press "Add".
At this point you can either add more cities or exit the application.
Restart your phone.
Now, go to the "Weather" application on the slide menu.
Choose "Menu" > "Add Location".
Start typing Worcester.
When you see it appear in the list, choose it (make sure it's the United Kingdom one :grin.
Press "Update Now".
Slide back to the "Home" screen and press on the clock. You should get to the "World Clock" screen.
Choose the "Worcester" radio button.
Press "Back".
It may take a few minutes for the animations to show up on the "Home" screen.

Now I was going to do this to see if it works, but to install the first app I need to go through the hassle of installing the .net compact framework, which frankly I can't be bothered to do. I did try searching through the windows directory for the xml file and found "Weather_Pages.xml" but I don't think it relates in any way to add city codes in it.
Does anyone have any idea which xml file I have to find and edit to add more location codes?
Thanks
Installing .NET framework probably takes less time than writing this post.
You have a solution - yet you choose not to use it because you're too lazy to install something that's needed anyway? Sorry, I can not understand your reasoning.
And it works very well too
AND... the author says you probably only need .Net 2.0 which is already on your phone.
Many thanks for this. Works a treat on my HD2. My Location never really worked for me in the small town I live in. This has provided a better solution. Cheers! mate.
why cant this crappy weather "my location" not just use google maps or just my f*cking GPS? Google maps finds my exact location in a sec even if I'm inside (almost everytime) and my GPS function works splendid, but the "my location" always shows some ****ty town 10 kilometres away. Its f*cking annoying. Sorry for the swearing but the h*ll were the developers thinking?????
"Okay, lets see, lets make a weather app!! yeah, good idea, lets also put in a GPS, but we should definitely not combine the two"
OMFG - I love my HTC but this app is making me dizzy, gonna disable it using duttys
I have been able to add my location and when I go to weather, it updates fine and shows the current weather. Right now it is cloudy. However, on the homepage under the clock, it keeps showing rain no matter what. The temp seems the same but the weather that is showing is not the accurate. How can I fix this?

Make sure the clock is not set to My Location, but to the same city as the weather tab.
Add locations
Been Playing with my new HD2 over the weekend and the my location works perfectly in a regional town in Australia but I can't manually add the towns into the weather tab to monior weather in nearby regional centres. The add loations only has major cities but the my location successfully finds all towns I have visited so far which arent avalable to be added as locations and returned the correct weather settings. If the my location is able to retrieve the weather there must be a way to get one of these towns permenantly added to my locations list so I can check the weather in other parts of the country outside capital cities.
My first post on this forum is a big thank you!!.
I'm very shallow and wanted the weather working or it was going back and I was going to get an iPhone instead.
Weather is now working for my town
How do I get it to display the days and weather description instead of IDS_Home_State_0 etc?
Thanks
My second post is I must learn to tell the difference between the / in a URL and the | that the instructions gave
All fixed, even happier now!
I'm sure I must appear really dumb here but where on the HD2 do I go to add my city?
Hi,
can anyone please give me a brief feedback if this tool works with the latest official rom release 1.66? Maybe he/she can even tell me his/her exp with a german device because I read alot about problems regarding sence & manila crashes in a german pocket pc forum (don't know if it is allowed to post the adress here, anyone may get it per PM). And I would appreciate to miss another hard reset
Thanks in advance!

Uhoh,
I used this app and first time it worked fine.
Second time, I've now lost the whole home screen and all options.
All I have is the start menu and icons across the top and the phone/contacts buttons at the bottom.
I assume this is because the editor disables touch flo 3d and htc sense when it starts and hasn't re-enabled them. Anyone point me in the right direction as to how to turn them back on?
Ta!
Sorted: Just had to go to the today settings and re-enable htc sense.
You have to turn Sence back on in....
Settings > Home > Items and put an X in the HTC Sence box

I've only just managed to actually find the right city codes for this!
I think the linked page has changed a bit and all the search boxes now operate by post code.
You actually have to switch to the international page and search on there rather than searching in any of the boxes.
Alternatively, just go straight to www .accuweather.com/world-index.asp
Thanks mate, I will try this program. I've been looking for a solution for this for a long time.
hello,
how do i add a location manually?
my weather app's 'add location' is greyed out.
in 'world time' i only have the option to remove cities or rearrange.

Hi, Have you ever been able to do this? Have you installed any custom ROMS or home screen apps tha could be hiding this? Another point, have you tried a soft reset (switch off and take battery out for ten seconds or press the red reset button under the back cover? On 1.66 stock ROM (and below from memory) There should be a big Add City with a + at the left side above the My Location radio button in World Clock. If you don't think it was an app the caused it you could try a hard reset if a soft one doesn't work.
I believe that there is a tool for adding locations, not "findable using the Add City option. A searach on here or the apps and theams section might identify it for you.
Pretty sure you need 'location service' turned on to set a location...

Although I haven't seen the TMobile USA ROM on stock WWE 1.66 you don't need the location service active to add a city. The Weather "Add Location" function and World Clock "Add City" facility appear to be links to the same thing (IMHO). It's only when you try and get weather data that the location service needs to be activated (then you get the Google Location terms of service screen if it is switched off). Don't why theoption is greyed out. It would be interesting to know if you have ever been able to add in the TMobile USA ROM.
thanks for all the suggestions.
solution: i figured out what was going on (and nowhere in the manual could i find this). the app only allows 12 cities. once you're 'full' the location greys out. and the +add city disappears. my phone came with 11 cities preset so all i had to do was add my home city and i lost the ability to add additional cities with no explanation.
the way this phone is set up is kind of silly. i can look out the window for the local weather, but if i want to monitor the weather in a city i am getting ready to travel to i have to go through the hassle of resetting my phone to that city. which of course, makes the local time/date of the phone incorrect. 'my location' is nice if you never leave home or have a world wide unlimited data plan! (but if you travel and want to monitor weather elsewhere it's a pain).
now to get rid of my location.....
even though i have all data services turned off it somehow keeps defaulting back to my gps location.
