Time Zone on Startup - HD2 General

Every time I restart my HD2 it prompts me for my time zone. I assume this is it not being able to automaticaly determine my 'location' at startup and so it asks me. It at least knows that I am in Australia.
Anyone else see this?

I just received my HD2 today and have been playing around and have also noticed this.
My location works and it keeps asking me to pick between the UTC +10:00 regions every time I start up.
Located in Australia as well.

You can eliminate this by disabling Automatic Time Synchronisation under the GSM/UMTS Services Tab in Phone settings (Personal folder).
I'm not sure if this contributes to it but I think ever since I did so I started getting the SMS bug of dropping signal and not sending until hours later. Still testing.
Brisbanite here.

I think I found a solution.
Go to Settings > Personal > Phone > GSM/UMTS Services
Click on Time Syncro and untick auto change timezone and clock

Thanks guys! It works!!!

TF3D autoupdate

Does anyone knows if there is an application that will autoupdate all the tabs when connected to the internet? (that is WiFi or activesync).
I know about the autoupdate feature on each tabm but you still have to scroll into the tab for it to update, what i really mean is an application that will automatically update weather, mail and stocks tabs without scrolling on it.
Thanks.
I am also looking for an answer to this question. Did you managed to find out how to do this?
Same question was this resolved elswhere?
J
same queston
...it was asked elsewhere - in Applications, I think. But no sign of an answer yet.
As far as I'm aware there is no such application. Would be advantageous if such an app existed. Hopefully I am mistaken and someone can enlighten us with this.
Hopefully there is a solution.
in every "updateable" tab (mail, stocks and weather) there is option of "download Data automatically" and you can set the frequency of updates (except in weather where you can set it to download weather data automatically but can't set the frequency.)
WARNING: such automatic update can burn a hole in your pocket by using huge bandwidth if you are using GPRS / 3G with limited data allotment.

Right so my thinking was, that it should be possible to tweak hack those settings to do the following:
1 update automatically when it detects a connection
2 or/and at fix intervalls
3 take away the annoying "do you want to update now"
warning everytime you go to those screens when you enable the auto update function.
I have no knowledge of such things was hoping someone who has would take up the challenge .
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This affects only the text messages or also the time on the home screen and World Clock?
Start > Settings > Phone > TimeZones. Check Automatic change time zone and clock.

disable email alerts/checks during the night

Anyone know of a way to get the hd2 to only check for emails during the day? it only gives options such as check every hour/4 hours etc, but not a time range.
As a result, it buzzes for emails received in the middle of the night. I want it to buzz for phone calls or text messages (could be emergencies), but not for emails which are usually trivial. So switching it off or silent is not an option
In the latest G-Profile there is an option to disallow all data connections, including emails. I have set up a night profile which has this option enabled so it does not download emails or update the weather and such. In the morning the night profile switches off automatically before my alarm goes off and so when I wake up the weather and emails are updated. Some other profile programs might have this feature also...
Either PhoneAlarm or Email Scheduler (http://www.gudensoft.com/emailscheduler/)
How did you manage to get updates during the night?
For me auto-updates work only when I turn screen on...

Has anyone used the Email scheduler? it looks reasonable (and free), but I don't like installing stuff that I don't know for (pretty) sure will work. I've just had a 'conversation' about my data usage on Virgin UK - apparently there's a 25MB per day limit and I was at 19MB by 8:00pm, so a little nervous that I'm going to run up charges. Need to limit and/or monitor my data connection.

Set windows to use the gps chip. Go to settings, menu, all settings, system, external gps and configure com ports in all the tabs. This will allow it to find your location. If you data connection is ending when in sleep mode it won't be able to update the forcast data. The fix for this seems to be either disable direct push and/or update the radio to 2.10.50.xx
All you need to do is go to activesync; there you can set peak and offpeak times; set offpeak to whatever hours (at night) that you want (for example 10pm-8am) and set it to not.
Just to be blunt as possible Activesync>Menu>Schedule> "Off Peak Times" set to Manual and then set your off peak hours

Winter time change

Did your HD2 change time automatically? Mine did not for "my location" (Athens, GR) but it did change for other locations i.e. for Madrid it shows the correct time.
I have the "get time from internet" option on. Any ideas? I do not want to change the time manually...
Nope,mine didn't change last night,I had to do it manually this morning.
You gonna have to change manually and uncheck automatic internet time... you'll have no problem after that

I had the time set manually and I am not using the Internet time sync - it updated itself to winter time this morning along with a notification that it had done so.
My changed automatically, but not at 2am, as I was up and interested to see. I woke up at 8 in the morning and it had changed.
Does anyone know how regularly the time updates and how to force it? I tried un-checking and re-checking automatic internet time, forcing an exchange sync, forcing weather update, etc. etc. to no avail.

No. Clocks here are always changed at 1am GMT. As we were in BST (GMT+1) it changed at 2am, back to 1am.
Clock adjust.
Mine updated itself automatically at 0200 hours after I synced my phone.
I have a different question guys. I hope you guys help...
Yesterday I did change time by myself to winter time (1 hour retard) and when I woke up it has changed 1 more hour retard again.
here we go...
Today afternoon, I updated Cookie's Home tab and Editor...
And I realize just now, time is always changing itself... every 10-20 min, only hour advance 1 hour. I mean it's like time working very very fast.
I cannot determine it's from CHT or any other problem ?
At the moment I'm just waiting. I mean I will not touch and see what will happen...
So, does someone know is this bug's from CHT ? Because I am pretty sure that we all have it !
Mine didn't changed so I had to do it myself but now I have a very strange problem with messages, something is wrong with timestamp so when someone replies it shows -1 hour..
Anyone has the same problem??

About "Allow automatic updating" in Market

I've been searching around for abit and couldn't find answers, so please share if you have the answers
1. This feature, does it always update automatically? Or we can set it to do that only on Wifi, not on 3G? If so, How can I configure this?
2. Occasionally, the notification bar show "Market updates available" - is it the same thing? If not, How can I disable market do the upgrade check in background?
Thanks

1. When you install and application, and then click it again in the market, there will be an option to "Allow automatic updates"... you'll also see this option when Market detects an update is available.
2. Not the same thing... if it was automatically updating in the background, it would disappear from the notification bar... I'm pretty sure if you press Menu->Settings in market, there is an option to check for updates only while on Wifi.
About point 1... don't think I was very clear... I mean if I select the automatic update option, does that mean it will automatically update in background, regardless im on Wifi or 3G? Or it could be configure?
some one have an answer pls?
I would really like the auto update, but i don't have unlimited 3G package here in Vietnam (its really expensive for unlimited)
please someone know the answer pls

Don't worry you can configure that through market application...there is a tick box in every application were you can untick this and then you can update application when you want to
don't let it update automatically, i had it this morning; battery at 80% and noticed that it was downloading at gprs and 3g speeds(I bet it took him a few hours updating)
haven't had anything like that before, just since i'm on a different rom =/
Sadly I don't think you can control updates for the market online when on Wifi. If roaming data is very expensive for you I would suggest disabling it and only enable as and when you require it (hold down the power button and push "Data Network Mode" to activate/deactivate it)
thanks guys!
i have mine set to update automatically, as i have a 6GB data plan
so i'm not worry about the data usage
and it is AWESOME! everytime a new update is available it updates on its own
finally no more clicking update and clicking to confirm
Off topic but how much is data and phone calls in Vietnam? I'm interested in Vinafone
$3 = 300MB/month
call is about $0.05-$0.07/min
-> these are in country rates, not roaming.
