I live in Jamaica where we do not have Daylight Saving Time adjustments anymore and I've searched every possible menu on my HTC Pure for a way to turn off the automatic adjustment of the time for DST and I can't find one. Everytime I sync my phone with my computer it's grief. My appointments get duplicated and time shifted an hour and the time on my phone is adjusted forward an hour. So I keep having to reset the time on my phone and delete duplicate appointments occuring at the wrong time.
Is there a fix for this issue available???
The reg setting can be found under HKLM\Softrware\Microsoft\Clock=> AutoDST and Home DST.

Greeting,
Sorry if this has been covered but every search comes back blank.
I live in Perth Western Australia and we have just started daylight savings for the first time. Problem is when I move my clock forward the 1hr it keeps changing all my appointment times by 1hr also....which I don't wont to happen!
I assume I'm doing something wrong but can't see the solution, could some please advise how to change times without changing appointments.
Cheers all,
marto
A further update on this. O2 don't have any solutions, there advise is to "uncheck" the "Synchronize Mobile Device clock upon connecting" box which is under the Options tab in Microsoft Activesync.
The other strange thing is all dates in my Outlook calender since the commencement of daylight savings have moved themselves forward 1hr even though the time on my mini are still correct??
Perhaps microsoft have a solution or answers.

Here in Europe DST starts on the last Sat/Sun of March and ends on the last Sat/Sun of October. As long as the timezone and regional settings are right the OS pops up a message asking the user for confirmation of the time change. Your PC must likewise be set accordingly for appointment times to be in sync.
I think this auto on/off of DST is built-in in the OS. Since it is the first time that Australia is using DST, I'm not so sure if would work for you automatically. You might have to manually advance the clock by 1 hour to both your unit and PC.
We've just started DST (Sydney, Australia) today and I noticed that my PC (Vista) changed automatically but my PDA (JasJam) updated with HTC WM6 didn't change. I can't find anywhere to sync the clock with the computer in Vista Mobile Device Centre and can't find anything on WM6. I did a sync and soft reset but it still stayed on non-DST time. I manually changed the clock and synced and the time stayed and my appointments stayed ok in Outlook but I'm not sure what's going to happen with my invitations to other ppl though.
Is there supposed to be somewhere to change the region/time to DST??
apologies if this has already been answered somewhere.. if so could you please direct me to the answer.
i recently upgraded and got wm 2005. i'm running pocketbreeze on the today screen and i'm having a problem with appointments being one hour out. if i go to the calendar and make the appointment 8-9, it comes up as 9-10 in pocketbreeze.
however its not quite as simple as that.. there are SOME appointments (i *think* they're the ones i've made in outlook) that appear at the CORRECT time. although, they happen to have moved back one hour. IE, one appointment i had went from 7-8.30, it moved back to 6-7.30, but said 6-7.30 in BOTH pocketbreeze AND the calendar.
to confuse matters more, i *think* (i'm at work right now so i'm not 100% sure) that the times that are showing in pocketbreeze are the same times that are showing in outlook.
SO - this is basically it: any appointments i make in the calendar on the phone appear in pocketbreeze and outlook one hour early. appointments i make in outlook appear correct in all 3.
i've double checked the regional settings and both my phone and computer are set to the same place. can anyone shed any light on this odd issue?
You are certainly not alone. I've seen this reported on this board a few times. I do not recall the solution but perhaps you can try a few searches perhaps using advanced options on things like synchronisation time etc.
I do remember various theories about this but not one that came to a definitive conclusion. One for example was that the phone company was sending auto sync info of the wrong time zone for the area (ie not wrong time just zone). This seemed to be most reported in parts of Australia it might help to search on some of the time zone abbreviations.

hi mike - thanks for your help. i ended up finding something on whirlpool.net.au
for anyone else with this problem (i think its specific to my phone, jasjam, and my carrier, telstra) the solution was:
Go to Start, Settings, Phone.
Scroll right until you get to the time zone tab on the bottom.
Uncheck the “Automatic change time zone and clock.” Option
Then go to the today screen and select the time.
Change the time up a couple of hours and press ok and Yes to save the time.
Go back and fix the Time and Time Zone to correct setting,
Again press ok and yes to save the time, this will commit this to the ROM and fix the time settings.

Thank you benzothegreat for providing this feedback and summarising the conclusion, cheers.

This works!!!
I have a T-Wing, WM6 and I was having the same problem, the reminders for bdays showing up one day earlier..and noticed that the issue was only for dates were the DST applied . I'm not that concerned about outlook showing duplicate bday reminders , but I do care about showing them on the wrong date..... long story short.. here is the fix:
1. Goto http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E343A233-B9C8-4652-9DD8-AE0F1AF62568&displaylang=en and download the Microsoft Office Outlook Tool: Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office Outlook
2. Follow instructions and install.
3. After instalation completed, goto start -> all programs -> Microsoft office outlook tools -> Time Zone Data Update Tool -> Time Zone Daylight Savings Update Mode
4. It will update your appointments/ reminders (including bday reminders) and show them on the right date!
I can not say when this problem started, what is happening say I have a appointment in my Outlook 2003 Calendar for 2pm today, once it is Synced with (Active-sync 4.5), The event will slow up on my MDA calendar for Tomorrow at some other time seems to be something like 14 hours later!
Yes all my clocks are set correctly my timezones are all set correctly as well. If I enable the Set Device time feature in active sync it sets the time to tomorrow sometime as well.
I have turned that off and have set the MDA to get the time from the GSM Network and that is fine.
I switched over from using a hp-6315 and did not have that problem.
My rom version is whatever this file name represents
RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship.exe I am using it on the Rogers Network in Canada. Works well otherwise.
Any Ideas would be welcome.
I know you have touched on it but just to be sure can you confirm that you have checked the timezones on both your Wizard AND your PC.
Yes sir at time zones set to EST GMT -5 / or -4 dst
Now the real curious thing is last I looked my phone, were it says upcoming appointments and it had me having a meeting on Wed Feb 28 at 12:45am, it was in my outlook at Tuesday Feb 27th at 10:30am.
This morning I looked at the phone and it was now showing the correct meeting time! WTF! Now I look at the phone and it showing Feb 28 12:45 again.
and I have not synced with my Desktop since yesterday afternoon.
Crazy!
Do you perhaps have the visiting option checked in the time settings? Maybe a reset of the phone will clear up this time sync issue.
Nope visting option not enabled, and the time remains correct on the unit, its the caladar items seem to move around!
However Syncing Time from the sets the time and day wrong.
Ok Given the last comment from az99, I decided for a sanity check to check the clock settings for visiting time.
It was definitely set to HOME and the HOME timezone was correct GMT -5 the visiting Time zone was set to Paris GMT +1, I then selected visiting time zone and changed it to GMT -5.
Then changed back to the HOME timezone.....
All the calendar entries are correct again. This is odd because even if it was using the Paris timezone it would have been off by 6 hours.
See how long it will last.

**** Edit**** i thought the fix worked, but my later appts were still off by an hour. hard reset and trying again.
Its possessed, yesterday I looked at my phone and it said my 10:30 appointment was 9:30am at least we are within the same day now.
Forgot my phone at home so I can not tell you what it says this morning...
same problem here with WM6 (Xplore 1.1) and AS 4.5b. Calendar items 1 hour back.
other WM6 rom was ok...
solution?
OK, I think the problem is with the GSM updating the time from the phone system. DE-select that. That is buggy, and depends on the tower you are near. If you are near a bunch it gets confusing for the phone.
After that, go to options in Activesync in your wizard and delete the connection to your PC. (Not while you are connected.) Delete your Wizard calendar. If you have memmaid delete your notifications. Soft - reset. On your PC, delete the mobile device. Then double check your PC and Wizard time and region settings. Then re connect and set up a new partnership. After it synch's, you should be all set.
Good luck,
'problem is with the GSM updating the time from the phone system. DE-select that. '
how do i change this? sounds like connection settings...
TIA
Sorry, I'm currently running a rom where that was left out. I thought it was in the phone settings but I'm not sure. Click through all the "settings" files and menus to see if you see it. Otherwise, maybe someone else has it handy?
Regards,
figured it out, for me i had 05 GMT bogota but whe ni went to -5 GNT Easter US it worked.
amazing!
still all -5 GMT so not sure if it's a WM6 bug?
I am wordering if anyone had any issues with timing? Basically i have tried most of the ROMz here, the time for New Zealand is gone funny, the mins should be the same as rest of countries but it does not
does anyone have the same issues? or anyone can help here? many thanks.
I am having a similar problem with the time, everytime I sync my phone the time moves and the date, hour and minutes are completely different. How can this stop?
Im not sure if this is the same problem as you guys, but the TFL3D world clock does not seem to recognize DST so it is off 1 hour from the windows clock. Everytime you open world clock it changes the time by 1 hour and resets your appointments. This also sometimes happens when you sync.
My work around is to set the TFL3D world clock to local city and manually change time to be correct, than go to the windows clock via settings and set it to the correct timezone. Each time you sync now you need to unclick TFL3D in "settings", "Today" before you sync. Also, do not open the world clock application or you will have to reset all the time settings again.
I've looked for a better solution but have not been able to find on yet.
Hi
I was wonderig if anyone has had problems with the Daylight savings time? I've tried downloading and installing the WMDST2008-1.cab file from microsoft and this hasnt seemed to help.
Everytime I sync the phone with my computer the time goes back an hour to what it was prior to dst. The calender seems to be out of sync too. I'm aware you can set it to not sync the date and time, but this isnt the best solution.
Im usign Duttys 2.4 xtreme ROM...Could this effect it too?
Cheers for any help.
P.S im in the UK if that makes a difference.
Interested in this as have exactly the same issue at the moment. Changed it last night, came into work today and it changes back an hour.
Any help will be gratefully received
I have found that the problem arises, when you select your home city through Manila, by clicking on the clock and then choosing a city.
Manila assigns the wrong timezone. I live in the GMT+1: Berlin, Rome timezone, but when I select my home city (Aachen) and then go to Settings -> System -> Clock&Alarms I can see, that Manila has chosen West Central Africa as my timezone, which is also GMT+1 and just below my timezone in the list, but obviously doesn't have daylight savings time.
Look for yourself, if you have that problem, you can correct it by selecting the correct timezone throught Settings -> System -> Clock&Alarms.
Manila will still have your previously selected city as your home city.

Hi I have the same problem and it has just when I sync it through Active Sync on to my PC.
It goes back by one hour.
And setting the time without Manilla doesn't work.

Ah, this seems to have worked. I went into the settings you mentioned and adjusted the clock. The timezone was correct, but i reselected it anyway and have just synced my phone and my time hasn't readjutsed...success...for now! Thanks.
Althought my calender is still out of sync. In outlook I have an event booked all day on the 29th April, however on my phone it's showing up as all day on the 28th!! Any ideas?
Had the same problem today, readujsted settings plus manila, then sync the phone and time was again set 1 hour back.
I finally did it the other way round (manila then settings) and it seems to hold after a few syncs
Same problem here in Australia. As soon as you touch anything in Manila time & date or alarms, you have to go back into settings and reset the Timezone.
It has gotten better - it used to change Sydney to Guam now it only changes Sydney to Brisbane...
You might want to check this setting also.
I found this would knock my Cal out by 1 hour :
Start > Settings > Phone > Time Zones Tab : Untick "Automatic change time zone and clock"
had it too
I had the same thing - or similar, the clock said the correct time but all the appointments shifted an hour and the alarm was going off an hour later - really bizarre, i un-ticked the box as recommended by the last person (settings, phone, automatic update). Hmm spoke to soon - thought it had worked but same problem as before! Year on year the same story, how frustrating!
