Time Zone Issue

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.

Weather location on home screen

Afternoon guys, been reading this forum with great interest over the last weeks but first post.
I have to say overall I am mightily impressed with this phone and am the envy of most people that have seen it. The camera appears ok to me (slight pink tint) but nothing too drastic although i am keeping a very close eye on it.
My concern at the moment is with my location on the home screen regarding the weather. I live in Glasgow and all was working fine...I then went home the other day to Perth and the weather location changed to this...was quite impressed and no problems. Since returning to Glasgow yesterday afternoon it still says my location is Perth and will not change despite trying to update manually etc.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to rectify this problem?
Thanks guys and thanks for all useful tips etc on this forum, seems to be my most visited site of recent weeks.

I would like to know that too !!!

+1 because that location service really sucks. it tells me I'm in a town that is 20km from my actual location.

Not quite the same for me but have a similar issue in the my home screen location has failed to update since the first time. So now effectively useless!
What I have done however is add a new location (closest one I could find to my actual home). This can then be set as your home page weather by selecting the clock on the home page, and then selecting the newly defined "home location" as your home. (Sorry terminology might be out as I don't have my HD2 with me!!!???).
Hopefully there is a fix for this but a sort of work round in the meantime.......

Hope someone can find another solution soon !!!

kick up google maps use gps in the menu for google maps wait until it finds sats then click blue dot to get your home location.
leave it running (ie press home button) then goto weather and update
well it worked for me

I don't know if this is helpful or not - other than to just demonstrate that this is not a 'universal' bug, and perhaps to narrow down what I'm doing differently. But, I've been in about 1/2 dozen countries since I got my HD2, and it hasn't had any problem updating my location once. Each city I'm in, it changes without issues, and now that I'm back home, it's changed back to my home location as well.
I'm on the stock HD2 from HTC (unlocked), stock ROM, and I'm on Vodafone UK.
I have disabled HSDPA, but other than that, no other tweaks to mention.

Does that stay after soft reset ? Or do I have to go toGoogleMaps every time after it changes connection ?

it has only stayed on a different location once for me
i never needed to repeat
after i did the above it has switched reliably since
dunno why ?
i am on t - mobile if thats anything to do with it

Desn`t seem to do the trick ...
After soft reset it went back to another city .... STRANGE !

Have you tried soft resetting the device mate? Or adding Glasgow as a location, and then switching back to My Location.
Might help. On my X1, My Location thought I was in Torrance...wherever that is.
Not got any problems get, but I haven't left Glasgow since I got my phone. Will be travelling this weekend, so will see what it does ^^

Soft reset the device of course ... but that didn`t help ...

didn't work right now, somehow the weather-tab always shows me it's updating but when it stops the last update is still 2 days ago (date shown in the upper right corner of the weather tab). seems it's broken atm

This happens with me too, I have no clue how to fix it, so instead of creating a new thread, does anyone know how to actually GET RID off the weather on your home screen? I am over the excitement of knowing what the weather is like where I already am lol...

it updated the weather but the location is still wrong (around 20km off) and I can't add my location manually, the town is too small to be in the list. seem it just doesn't work for me, because the location service just sucks and doesn't really use gps.

Mine keeps changing the home location to any main location here in Bulgaria ... can`t figure it out !!! I`m in the biggest city and I still receive information of a city 400km away from my place , then from a city 130km from here .... and it keeps changing .... very strange !

I think you need to realise that not every single township, city, village, etc is available to Google for the weather location data.

For god sakes, I live in SOFIA , the capital of Bulgaria ....

Hi c0rp1, i also Live in Sofia and have another issue. My phone correct find my location but weather information is not correct. I think it's Espoo weather information.
Im not information how to resolve this issue. At the moment i add Sofia in Wetaher tab and switch it manualy every time when i make soft reset.

Phone keeps changing time zones

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.

HD2 Leo TMOUS Time Issue

So has anyone had an issue with their HD2 Leo giving the wrong time? I was visiting family back in Richmond TX for the week and everytime I went to Richmond TX my phone would move up an hour and when I went to check the time it would say Eastern Time Zone. Im assuming it thinks im in Richmond VA. Does this everytime. THen when I would go back to my other home in Sugar Land TX it would move back the hour to the correct time.
Anyone has a wierd issue like this with your phone? I would figure only people possibly living in a city that has a name common in other states might have this issue. I was in another town called London while I was riding and my phone would think I was in London UK.

im in sugarland, and my phones time has been acting weird all week, maybe its due to my android install but its too strange that this could be a coincidence..

you have to set the phone to local time and you can do that by going to the alarm clock and selecting the world clock and then put the green dot on "my location" and then the phone will automatically adjust the time based upon where you are.

I'm having the same problem. It seemed to go wrong after I tried to install andriod. I have re flashed the stock ROM but the phone is still acting very strange as far as the time is concerned.... Help?

DST?
im in the UK, and we have juyst put the clocks back by an hour after British Summer Time has ended (DST) on sunday 31st October.
since then my HD2 has attempted to reset the time and keeps randomly changing it, yesterday is was showing as no longer on BST and still showing me an hour ahead, today it has randomly changed from 10:30 am to 1:30pm.
not quite sure what is going on with it, when ever i request carrier time it keeps reverting to 1 hour forward but not on BST.
hopefully it will reslove itself over time. if not looks like will have to turn off some of the location services and stick to manual city location within world clock.

Phone keeps changing my time-zone

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.
