This is really starting to piss me off. I live in Arizona. My phone is set to Arizona time but randomly, and I can't find a pattern, It'll change me to Central time, therefore changing my clock two hours ahead. If I change it manually to the correct time (the time zone part is grayed out so I can't change that), then later it'll randomly change my clock to two hours behind. I can't figure out how the hell to make it stop. I did a search on here and found out that a few people have had the same problem but those threads usually ended without any real resolution. I've already un-checked the option for automatic updates to time/time zone and it STILL does it. I got the phone when it had already been modded. It was doing it then. Since then, I've run a Task 29 and installed the stock ROM (RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) and none of that helped. I can't honestly figure out what else in the phone could have an effect on the time and have the ability to change it like that?
Can anyone help me figure it out? At first I thought it was due to the syncing with Windows My Phone but I took that off and it still does it. I've checked my Outlook to make sure it's on the right time zone and it is but that wouldn't have been it anyway as it changes time in between syncs rather than at the sync time.
So ... what could possibly affect the time zone setting? Any ideas?
do you live fairly close to the time zone border? could be that the phone is sometimes connected to a cell that is in one zone and sometimes a cell on the other
Nope, I'm right smack dab in the middle of Arizona. We do have our own time zone because we're special like that but it's changing me to two time zones away. Oh and I forgot to mention, even when I uncheck the time sync option, at times I'll go back in to check it and it's checked again ... as if the phone is determined to leave it checked. Other times, it'll still be unchecked. Weirdness.
Make sure you don't use the my location "feature", as it's basically proved to be a pain for most people. Click your clock and make sure you're set to your actual region in there (you may need to add the city, if you've not already done so.)
Other than that, go to the settings tab, data services and internet time sync. Make sure that "get time from the internet" is not ticked. There's no way the phone can now change your time itself, unless there's software on there that's doing it.
phone settings
also check under settings/all settings/phone/GSM services. Time Sync there means only time zone adjusting. You can turn that off too.
Do you use iGO (GPS software)?
Because iGO has a bug that reset time zone.
One more thought, check your settings to determine what is the home time zone. If it is set to something else, you might 'revert' to that time zone when you don't have a signal.

I can't seem to get my cingular 8125 to get the correct time when I choose the time zone. It is an hour behind when I select central time and when I change it manually it sets itself back an hour a day or two later. It use to work fine when I was still on the east cost. Is there anyway I can set the time permantly? It is really annoying since I use it as my alarm clock. Thanks
For different areas, change the time zone and not the time.

also check to see if you have selected summer time too!!
Sounds like maybe you have a 2.24 ROM? (kinda hard to tel!) If so, remove the checkmark from Network Time in the Phone settings.
yeah I have the 2.24a rom and I can't find the network time checkbox in the phone options. Also I did change the time zone, time zone is an hour off
Anybody? is there a quick fix or do I have to flash to another rom? Thanks.
This does not always happen when I connect my 8525 but it seems to jump 15 and a half hours into the future. this is really a pain in the butt and seems to have only statrted happening since I landed in Canada in an Eastern time zone. ( normally reside in Texas cst time )
Has any experienced this? I have SBP plus loaded running weather and time right now. Only other program is World Mate Pro. Nothing else on the device.
Hi,
I'm in Aus and have an imate JasJam and some of us over here were having the same troubles.
What we found was the time was being updated automatically over the phone network to be in sync with the providers time, but it also looks at the time zone. In Victoria, Aus, I kept having a problem with my clock being an hour out, and it ended up being that the network was sending the wrong time zone information.
To fix this, we opened up the phone dialer and selcted menu, options.If you scroll to the right you'll see the tab time zones, and uncheck the "Automatic change time zone and clock"
Then change your timezone back to what you want and set the time to what it needs to be, soft reset and hopefully everything will be ok.

I did what you said and reset my time back to my home city in cst. Since I am still in an est time zone when I turned the phone back on it automatically went to the est time zone to the correct time and did not jump to 15 hours into the future. I am ok with this since the phone has never moved to the correct time zone based on the network before which I like. As long as it does not do the crazy 15 hour jump I am ok. I will hook it up to sync a few times today and see what happens.
did you try to untick the synchronize time of device with pc or something in the options under tools tab of microsoft active sync?

I'm having a similar problem. Sometimes when connected to sync computer the timezone changes from EST to AST, but I have no settings on either device to cause this.
Help!!! Time Out of Sync
I have an HTC branded version of the TyTn. Every time I plug it in and try to sync the time goes 1 hour back and my future appointments move. I tried looking for the "time zones" tab previously reffered to and apparently my phone doesnt have such a tab. Any sugestions?
Ok I know people see this issue and I have seen posts for it, but no one ever posts if there is a fix. I live in Arizona, we dont observe daylights savings time here. Well on my Wing if I choose Arizona time for the time zone everything appears to work ok untill the phone changes the time zone to Mountain and then throws of all my appointments in the calendar by 1 hour. I tried disabling the option to automatically change the time based on time zone but no luck. I set the phone to AZ or mountain after the change and all my appointments do not revert then i have to go in and edit all of those. It does not matter what ROM I am running it ssems to happen on all, currently I am running Open Touch 7.3.
Hey all, the clocks have gone back an hour today to gmt. However my nexus one with cm6.1 is still showing the bst time. I have automatic time selected in settings, so it's supposed to be taking it from the network. I don't want to have to go to manual time selection if possible.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
I'm on O2 and it changed over without any problems.
Not sure if its a phone setting or it comes from the network but either way it worked
Orange here and time changed automatically
Fixed itself
Hmm... After selecting and selecting the automatic time option a few times, it seems to have fixed itself.
I wish out had done it automatically - my alarm went off an hour early!
You can use ClockSync to avoid such problems in the future http://www.appbrain.com/app/clocksync/ru.org.amip.ClockSync
I know that most phones sync without such apps, but I'm a bit OCD about exact time, so I sync my phone daily with atomic clock
I'm running the stock ROM, nothing other than Cookies 1.8.5....live in the US, Central Standard time zone.
My phone keeps switching itself to Pacific a few times a day. Anyone know how I can stop it from switching every time I switch it back?
Border?
Is it possible that you live right on the border of two time zones and your phone is connecting to a tower in another time zone. if so just change your settings and manually set your time instead of automatically from the network.
or to set the correct time zone to save the settings and turn off/turn on your phone

No, I'm right in the middle of the Central Standard time zone...and it keep setting itself to Pacific (two zones away).
I'll try setting it correctly in the "all settings area" and shutting her down for a bit....but I doubt that will fix it as I've tried restarting Sense and the phone itself after said change attempts and it's not worked either.
The ONLY thing I can think that might be causing this is since it seems to happen at work more than elsewhere, and my work is based in Glendale Wisconsin, that the system automatically sees Glendale, and assumes it's Arizona instead of Wisconsin.
Seems illogical...but it's the only reason I can think of why this might be happening.
