i have had a problem that has been plaguing me and my phone for quite some time now, i have asked around and combed search engines for an answer, i have never found the solution, but i have found others who had had the same problem looking for an answer, after all this time, i have just found the solution, and it has fixed it 100%
i thought i would post it here to save the time and hassles for anyone else having the same problem
the problem is that my phone would change its time 1 hour almost every time i would synch it up to the computer, i changed settings on the phone in timezone, and also the settings for daylight savings, i modified the settings using schaps config tool, and hard reset my phone countles times searching for a solution, but none of these methods worked beyond a day or so
it turned out to be a setting in the 'phone' settings 'timezone' tab, tucked away in an odd place, this checkbox was left unnoticed [one could be forgiven for assuming that time settings would be somewhere around the clock section] i guess being in the phone section it 'may' be updating the time off a phone tower or something???
anyway, checkbox is labelled 'automatic change timezone and clock' and this needs to be left UNCHECKED
Almost been a month now and problem solved
i hope this helps out anyone else having this unique problem
p.s. this would happen with WM6.1 Roms and also WM6.5 Roms
This solution has been out there now for about..... 2 years...
You mustn't have checked EVERYWHERE...

I've been meaning to ask this question as well. I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll be watching for an answer.
do u use a spare battery? cuz i do
bump
please help.
it never used to do this.
i used to change my batteries all the time, and it never screws up the time. but now it is. whats going on?
answer..
maybe this is the problem.. go to settings --> in personal: click on phone... go to the time zone tab and make sure the automatic change time zone and clock tab is not check.. that should work hopefully
Maybe you got a problem with your internal battery..when you search more in this forum, there are testimonials about that specially when you remove the battery out of you device then put it back on.. and that also happens to me..my solution?never remove the battery
But sometimes, there are instances that this occurs when you sync your phone to PC thru ActiveSync and you got the "Sync PC time to Phone" option enabled AND you have different Regional Settings on your device and on your PC, you need to uncheck that option at ActiveSync..please check.

Hi folks!
Few weeks ago, my HD started to NOT to show actual time on homescreen.
For example, as I'm writing this, it's 19:23 and my HD shows 19:05.
I didn't figure it out why it does that...
When I soft reset it, that helps, but after 12 hours (or so) it starts to do it again...
I did search for the solution, but without success...

That's exactly the same problem happen with my HD. Even I already flashed my ROM.
Anybody can help.....?
@ksunarko - do you get this straight after the flash? Or after you've set the phone up, installed the apps you want etc?
It could be an app you both have installed which is causing a problem... I've not heard of the issue from others though.
Although, recently my phone has twice shown the time as 00:00 on the wm6.5 lock screen, Manila is OK though. Soft-booting sorts it out each time. It's been alright for a couple of days though.
Problem report
Lately I'm having this problem too. Mine stays two hours behind. 2 hours that make the diference for my time zone. So I've synced my location and that did the trick. It changed my time zone back in the clock settings and corrected the actual time. But still this is a problem, because if this happens over night and you have set a wake up alarm in the morning for a important meeting you ain't gonna make it...
I recon there is a registry setting that defines your default timezone, so if you change that to your time zone should do the trick... I think .
Also,
I'm not sure if it's related but, since this started happening I'm having signal issues sometimes I can't make myself clear to the other person when talking. It's always braking up so I have to ask if he/she understood.
Also I was keeping it only on the gsm band to save some battery... and I figured it could be operator related or that something's gone wrong with GSM signal thingamagig so i've changed that to auto band (3g+GSM).
Should I worry, is my HD a gonner should I sell it, get a newer model...
What do you think abuot it?
Hi all, my TMOUS HD2 randomly changes time zones from EST to PST at least 2-3 times a week on its own when I have "my location" picked as a time. Anyone else have this problem? I flashed to the new T-mo ROM about 3 months ago...Tj
My device and a friend's device is having the same issue. This is irrelevant to the ROM as I am running a Artemis after the 3.14 and my friend is on 1.48
mine just recently started doing that..keeps putting me in the GMT -5 (Indiana) time zone instead of the -4 (Atlantic) I've had to change it like 3 times in one day. Never had a problem with this b4. Wonder if it has anything to do with the ThrottleLauncher WP7 theme i installed on it the other night..because that time setting seems to be changing to.
my uk hd2 keeps doing this over the last week or so, randomly jumping ahead timezones. it's persisted accross multiple energy roms and a stock rom.
weird

my HD2 was doing this but only when i would go home to visit in Richmond TX. When i would update weather manually it would switch to eastern time zone. I think this is because the phone thinks I am in Richmond VA so it switches to Eastern time. I havent found a viable fix for this but its not really an issue.
IS there a chance you are using your phone in a city or town that has a common name in another state? this might be the reason. While riding my motorcycle a while back i stopped in London Arkansas and my phone thought I was in London UK.

same Indiana time zone default issue. I HAVE THE LATEST 3.14 original ROM with c00kie's home tab.
Same here with the original ROM installed. I live in GMT+1 timezone and it sets my time one hour ahead at least 5x a day. Pretty annoying.
Hmmm... wondering if this issue has no fix, or if its not wide spread enough... It DEF has something to do with CUSTOM roms, because both me and my wifes HD2 worked like champs for a month straight out of the box, with location services and the whole nine with out ANY problems, I flashed ChuckyROM and here it is... No matter how many times i change the timezone, no matter how many soft resets, no matter how many ROMS flashed, the time keeps jumping... sometimes one hour, sometimes 2, it onlys corrects when i DISABLE all time syncs and locations... WHICH SUCKS and shouldn't be the fix... ANY HELP would be appreciated , THANKS IN ADVANCE
Hi folks!
Pls. check & use this!

It should fix all time zone issuse... Just give me a feedback!
Regards,
MrT69
That happened to me a long time ago. And I remember I fixed it either by checking/unchecking something on the Windows Mobile Device Center (or ActiveSync), something in the sort of NOT synchronizing Outlook items (no problem with me because I never use that anyway; I use MyPhone instead).
think i have a fix
disable the option in settings - menu - all settings - personal - phone - gsm/umys services - time synch
you can leave the option in settings - data services - internet time sync enabled.
not sure why its changed, i have stock everything....

I know the problem
Hello,
I know this problem.
And I think I know the reason for this "acting out".
It started for my HD2 at the day of the
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME change.
I believe the makers of that phone forgot to install
a daylight savings option.
It would be great, if someone could make a clock that will do that,
or that will verify the time with a different time service,
taking into account daylight savings time (winter/summertime).

Nope. Its a problem for org ROMs also. It probably has somting to do with the Internet-provider or the providers of weather-app etc.
In my case the "my lokation" in the weather-app is showing wrong place. This error appeared at the same time as the clock-problem.
Hi all,
Just a quick feeler
I know a few people that have reported the phone time keeps changing to be several hours out on its own, most if not all are connected to orange network here in the UK,
Is any one else seeing this strange behaviour?
Boyise
this is because of googles services i believe, use bsb tweaks to turn off auto sync time

I have the problem, and I too am on Orange UK, however with my sim card in an old phone the time updates correctly.
Hello. Same issue here, also on Orange. Auto time zone turned off, seems to have sorted it so far....
I am having the same problem. I am with T-Mobile UK but using roaming to share Orange network.
How do you turn off auto time zone? I don't have BSB tweaks installed.
I'm having the same issue.
The clock randomly changes itself sometimes by one, two or even eight hours. I have tried disabling everything I can find - such as HTC location service and internet time sync... I am in the UK on 3 Mobile.
May get in contact with HTC, but they're probably going to blame our custom ROMs.
EDIT: You should check out the other thread "Winter time change" - loads of people have this issue. It's been reported to HTC and a fix is due. The current workaround is:

I've been pulling my hair out all day, trying to fix this 'randomly changing hour' problem. I think I might have found a solution:
Go to Phone/Menu/Options/Menu/Network Selection/GSM-UMTS Services/Time Synchronisation/ and set it to unchecked.
My time has not changed since.
Good luck...

'Settings' -> 'Menu' -> 'All Settings' -> 'Personal' -> 'Phone' -> 'GSM/UMTS Services' -> 'Time Synchronization'. The select 'Get Settings'. 'Untick the Automatic change time zone and clock'.
Thanks hopefully that fixes it.
thanks for the info.
Weird that its suddenly not functioning normal anymore. hope this wil fix it..

I had the same problem, I went to France the past 2 days and every now and then the time on my phone changed, even when the option to auto sync time is set to false. I Live in Belgium so France is still the same GMT +1.
Try upgrading to the newest stock ROM. I saw you still run 1.07.x, but there is already a version 1.36.x.
It's not the ROM. Mine has been doing it ever since we went to daylight saving in the UK. Jumping forward an hour every day or so.
tryied to upgrade but i got the error 294 invalid vender
anyway i opened a case with HTC
but i thing my problem is due to daylight saving
but not so sure because at the same time i was in Greece wich is also diferent time zone

Does anyone know if a hard reset fixes the problem?
Maybe, but also check the values of:
HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Clock\HomeDST
and
HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Clock\NetworkTimeSync

Is that the same as enabling/disabling the automatic time in the phone options?
BTW what value should be in those entries? Thanks
Try to set both of them to "0", soft reset, set the correct time and time zone through settings and check if the problem still exists.
Doesn't work. As soon as I activate the automatic time, it increases 1 hour
The automatic hour must be deactivated.

This is the process to de-activate auto time update.
Go to:
Settings> Menu> All Settings> Personal> Phone> (search for) GSM/UMTS Services> Time Synchronization (second last option in list)> get settings. Un-check "automatic change time zone..."> Done
now the time will not update automatically.
That's in post #6.

I knew that, that's how I solved it long time ago, but what I'm trying to do is to make the automatic time work again, since I find it quite useful
Useful of what?
When traveling for example. Thanks for the tip anyway
i followed the instructions from NitroNitrous old thread where you disable the updates.
(very well hidden settings).
Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".
thanks NitroNitrous
I have aslo an open case with HTC as soon i will get update i willl pass over
One other guess is that the provider has incorect setting. could be that the case ?

I thought about that, since it happened when they changed the time for the daylight saving thing, but it's hard to believe that many providers in different parts of the world have made the same mistake
nah! it's clearly a bug, something like network is sending the correct hour but the phone is applying by always adding daylight time saving again...

That's why there are two choices for time zone, under "Clock & Alarms".
