Error in TimeZone for Clock/Weather - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

I guess that there is nothing I can do to fix this , but there is an error in timezone for the country I am. I'm in Paraguay and here timezone is (GTM-4 La Paz) and HTC Location Service put a different one (GTM-4 Santiago) they look the same but they are not! When this Location Service is enabled with GTM-4Santiago everything, SMSs I get from my phone company and others arrive with +1hour, that makes messaging horrible cause you always have to do maths to realize the time they wrote you and thread messages are out of order also in Manila Tab. If I dissable HTC Location Service and add the city manually I don't get Weather autoupdates and cause I cant delete "My Location" and have 4 times the same city.
is there anyhow I can fix this?

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.

Weather tab "my location" not updating

Hi guys,
Part from the major problem (sms not sending correctly) I have this other problem:
The first page of the Weather tab in sense stops updating, so the My Location page (1/x). When I try to update all the other locations are updating but not "my location" For the other locations (2/x till x/x) the update-interval seems to be working. What I´ve done now is that I have created a new location with my hometown and marked that for the first page but it shouldn´t have to be this way..
Anyone familiar with this?
I have the exact problem as you (not the sms). All the applications are updating correctly. Anyone has a soulution?
Any fix for the weather problem, my HD2 is suffering from it as well.
yes, that´s quite boring
|edit]
Writing here gave me an idea !
This is not updating cause the HTC localization service is disabled !!! If you re-enable it, it will update ;-)

Do you have HTC location service (settings tab - locations) switched on/ticked? If not, then My Location will not be updated.
hey,
i have the exact same situation. first it worked fine but since a few days its only updating once a day (yes im pushing the button to update, as this would be a hardware button it would look pretty used xD). so i actually deactivated and reactivated the local settings but still not working
Have the location services on and have always been on... but still no update since nov 20th on the my location weather. Not the most important maybe but kind of annoying.
Anyone figured it out yet?
Same problem for my.
I have changed State and nothing happend...
same problem here...
I had the same problem. Location service worked fine, since my location appeared in Google Maps. No location update and no weather update in the weather tab.
After a soft reset it works fine again (for the time being).
Are you guys also experiencing the sms message problem? Because to me it seems somehow related to each other.
I use the temporary fix of Confusion to send sms messages and now the weather for "my location" also works fine (which didn't before)

Sms problem as well...
weather problem, no SMS problem. I believe its down to the network cell you're located in. out in the "sticks" my weather works fine (probably only on one "tower"). In town where there are separate O2 towers for GPRS / 3G / HSDPA it won't update. Just my theory .....
rivets
Mine ahs been working fine for 5 days now today it not working
last update 9am this morning and wont update...if i add a town near me that updates fine
edit .. now working
same here... must be the network doesn't catch edge or I don't know
My HD2 us also suffering from this problem...
All locations in weather update fine EXCEPT for my location. The wierd thing is that if i make a duplicate entry for where i live in weather that that one updates but the first entry (my location) doesnt.... The weather on the front page does not update.
Does anyone have a fix for this at all? Its only a small thing but its managing to bug me!!!
The only changes i have made are that i have removed the proxy server address (as i am on T mobile) and made the change to be able to view iPlayer.
It seems to me, it only works when I connect my phone through our wifi-network. Only then it seems to resolve it's location. Any other attempt to resolve the location fails. Why would this be?
Exactly the same problem, Im on T-Mobile, location has never worked for me, slightly annoying as google maps can pinpoint my location within 5 metres?
I'm having SMS issues too
On the weather, when I connect through wifi it sets my location as Hounslow but when I disconnect wifi it correctly sets my home location as Aberdeen.
Hey just writing to say I've had the same problem too.
I first turned the HD2 on without a sim in and used it simless for half a day until I got an unlock code and could use my 3 UK sim. As soon as this was put in, My Location stopped working and has not worked since (neither WiFi nor 3G). It worked prior to putting the new sim in over WiFi.
I also the sms problem (I think, haven't really sent/received many texts to know tbh).

Texting Issues (sense 2.5)

I'm not sure if this has been addressed but if it has im sorry. Anyways everytime i receive a text, it always has the wrong timestamp.. for example my friend in sydney messages me in sydney at 11:00am, ill receive it a couple of minutes later but the stamp will be 10:00am (and ive checked the time on his phone) and this may seem rather harmless but after 5 or 6 texts each way it becomes a bother to constantly scroll up and read his new messages.
Secondly, everytime i open the messaging client in sense and try to 'tap to compose text' it takes several texts and then the htc keyboard just puts out numbers and symbols instead of letters.. which is fixed temporarily with a restart of sense.
same here!
i have the same trouble!! anyhelp any1
check your timezone settings in the phone, they need to match your friends. Perhaps you got the right settings (consider daylight savings if you use them down there) but he has not?
If his or your timezone is set wrong, but time is set "right" messages with diffrent "zone" will show up wrong.
So make sure both your friend (if its only one person whos sms timestamp is wrong) and your own phone.
That should fix it for you.

DST Time change problems

Hello Guys,
I'm having a problem with my Leo since the Winter time changed last month.
The phone didn't auto update the time and I had to change it manually, works fine till I update the weather application, when I do it changes back one hour... I manage to bypass that by ignoring "My Current Location" and use the city I'm in. Now I can update the weather and the hour stays good.
With all this I have two issues now, I cant use the "My Current Location" no more and when I receive a text message it's always one hour before mine...
I'm getting insane here, I don't mind much for the "My Current Location" thing cause I do not travel much but the message hour thing is killing me cause it messed up the message thread view...
I'm from Lisbon, Portugal.
Please advise,
Marco
Have you tried here
Thanks pepesz, just glad I'm not the only one with this problem...
You're welcome

[Q] Weather widget connection error

Hi all,
I'm cannot update weather into the weather widget of HTC sense: I always get a connection error and I'm asked to retry or give up.... but even if I retry I alway got the same error.
What I realized is that:
- if I go into the weather widget -> menu -> add city: the city list is empty
- using the "weather database editor" application: the city list is empty
could it be that the city db gets corrupted (along with cities I were registered to)?? and that's the reason why I got the connection error?
Thanks in adavance for any suggestion
brontolo
I have same problem
Hi, I have same problem, i belive that url in database editor is not working anymore. Only my location is updating, any other location giving error "There was a connection problem while attempting to download weather data. Retry?".
If anyone know what to do, please reply. If i solve the problem, ill post it here.
EDIT: Solved! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21528198#post21528198
Hh sorry i didnt refreshed the page. Thanks too.
Hi,
I found this thread http://www.smartphoneforums.com/forums/htc-touch-pro/119372-weather-fix-found.html and yesterday I managed to solve this issue... even if I forgot to update the thread, sorry for that
I simply changed the key
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.ServerURLOverride to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.ServerURLOverride_OLD and restarted the phone.
In that way weather tab will be using the original url for weather updates.
Hope it will work for you too.
Bye
Nothing works anymore. Anyone have working weather on a WinMo phone, specifically 6.1?
