google device manager show last sync in future. Different timezone? - Thinkpad Tablet General

Hi all, I have not been able to get answers for this from Google. My son's Lenovo Yoga 8 (B6000) has gone missing a month ago, and approximately two weeks back I noticed that the Google account manager shows it as syncing with Google. Today I saw that the last sync time was seemingly two hours in the future. Does the devices manager use the time zone of the device to display sync times? Could this mean that the device has been shipped to some place in a different time zone? In that case it is probably gone forever and the chance to recover it is near zero. But I would be surprised if the Google device manager would behave that strangely.

8525 Time changing when connected to Computer

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?

Random time on phone

Hi all,
I have Windows Mobile 6.5, CE OS 5.2.21869 (hope that is enough info!)
I am on T-Mobile and sync with Exchange 2007. I am in the UK. I have signed up for the sharing of Orange network. Time zone set to UK.
I have not used my phone for a while and digged it out (only used for going to site for work) just after the time has moved back one hour. Since then my phone is changing the time to 1 hour forward the last few days. I put it back to normal and it changes itself a few minutes later. I thought this may be a sync thing so I set sync to manual but it still does the change of time. When I got off the train this morning in London it had set itself 5 hours forward! First time it has done that.
I cannot find the option to disable time zones as the T-Mobile website suggests. I have a sort of official rom but due to doing this nearly a year ago, cannot remember which one precisely. I have never had this issue before.
Another thread already opened for this problem.
a bit more help would be good like a link? I used the search first and found thousands of items which were not any help.
I worked it out myself. When I go to Orange for a signal my phone classes me as roaming and my visiting time zone was a few hours out. I changed my visiting to the same as home time zone and all is ok!!

[Q] Strange Email sync issue with multiple accouts - samsung omnia windows phone HELP

Hi,
this is a strange question and a bizzare event thats occuring but i am hoping someone will be able to clear this up for me.
Basically i have had troubles with battery life on my windows 7 phone, its a samsung omnia on the orange network in the uk. This has ONLY been an issue since i upgraded to the Mango update last wednesday.
What i am finding is that my emails are syncing every 30mins or so despite being set to manual update only. I added 3 email accounts to my phone each via the windows live account addition option, i set them to each manually update only and only sync email not contacts/meetings etc... the mad thing is the main acount that is used under my people contact and the main hotmail/live account that is in use with the phone itself seems to stick at only updating when i tell it to sync (i have to click the refresh style sync button within the email screen) however the other two accounts after about 12hours start to go haywire and whilst they start out by syncing manual as soon as i have synced them manually once, after this they just update whenever they want too (every 30mins it appears)... i have tried a reset of the phone and starting from scratch but again eventually this flaw just keeps occuring! over and over, no matter how many resets i do
Its a real pain to be honest, when i first updated to mango i did link all the accounts together as there is an option to band all your accounts into the single hotmail livetile on the homescreen, i changed this option and decided against it, trouble is i cant remember if this issue happened then, im still pretty sure it did, its almost like the other two accounts have amind of their own, is there any explanation as to what this coul possible be?
I have tried to a rollback of my current firmware but it ended up bricking my phone so now it has gone in for a repair under warrenty to samsung, maybe it could have been a dodgy install of mango from day one? as my friend updated and he has the same phone yet hasnt experienced this email flaw, but then again he only has two accounts on his phone
Could it be the manual option no longer works in mango update?
many thanks for areading and hope someone can help, many thanks
You realize this is the Samsung Captivate forum, for Android phones, right?
I've moved this from the Samsung Captivate forum to the Omnia II forum, if it's inappropriate, I'm sorry, but it's as close as I could find. Good luck with your problem.
This is samsung omnia 7 and dont belong here.

[Q] Google Now Appointment Delay?

I'm running the MoDaCo JR5 ROM with no other modifications (rooted as standard etc) but for around 5 days now the calendar prompts from Google Now have been delayed. I have an appointment in my calendar for each day I work (shift rota and I'm horrendous for remembering which start time I'm on) so the first few days running stock, the time to leave reminders were a pleasant surprise. Since flashing the MoDaCo ROM these reminders have been delayed to the point that I'm already half way to work before my phone prompts me to leave.
E.g: Work start time of 7:30am and Google Now cards shows a travel time of 20 minutes. When it was working I would get a prompt 10 minutes before the 20minute time to travel (7am) but now I'm driving to work at 7:25 when it springs up saying I need to leave in 10 minutes!
I can't find any examples of this on the entire forum (or anything on Google for that matter!) Would anyone be able to help? My clock is set correctly btw, and I can't see any other issues what may be causing this so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same behavior on my devices... i'm completely stock and rooted. Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 10.
Since a couple of months the reminders to leave for work(i have an appointment in my calender for every day i go to work) come always after the appointment has started, but show that i had to leave around 30 minutes ago... very strange behavior... i am thinking if being late for work somehow confused the whole algorithm...
Any guesses?

I'm having a similar problem, and also stock rooted on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. Sometimes the notifications appear as expected (10-15 minutes before I have to leave), and sometimes they appear at or near the time I'm supposed to be there, telling me to leave some time in the past to arrive on time. This is only a recent issue - maybe the last 2-3 weeks, possibly since the update to 4.2.2?
Whatever is causing it, it's very annoying, since about a month before this started happening I stopped adding individual reminders on my calendar events that include addresses, making Google Now the ONLY reminder I receive.
I used to include less specific addresses (like "town high school", or "Tony's Pizza") on my calendar events, so I could just tap on the address in the event for navigation and let Google Maps figure out what I meant, but Google Now doesn't seem to like that too much. Have you done anything similar? I'm wondering if the existence of such events are contributing to the problem.
Google Now is still taking baby steps, it's about 6 major updates away from being moderately useful. There's no way I would depend on it for anything critical, it's still a cute toy that works about half the time.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Google Now completely ignored my most recent appointment. It came and went without Google Now making a peep. Very disappointing.
Same here like all of you.

Email Randomly syncing with Exchange

Hello, I have read and searched for the last week trying to find the issue relating to my email not syncing without any luck. Although it seems that in most cases, the Auto-Sync data was turned off, that doesn't appear to be my issue.
So here are the details.
The Phone:
Samsung S5 Active SM-G870A running stock everything on Version 4.4.2. The Baseband is G870AUCU1ANG3
The Steps:
First off, I had no issues with it push email on my S4 active and exchange email what-so-ever for the last two years. Recently, the NFC quit working on my S4 Active, and insurance replaced it with an S5 Active.
I went into Exchange in the web interface (OWA) and deleted the old S4 profile before activating the new S5 Active.
I activated the email, set it to push, I don't use the peak time, as I have a 30 gig plan. I verified that the Auto-Sync-Data is checked, and I checked to see if exchange services is restricted to run in the background and it is not.
So the problem is, the email seems to sync when it wants too (Randomly), rather than push or any timed schedule. After a reboot, it will work fine for about an hour, then slowly, it syncs at 5 mins, 10 mins, sometimes 60 mins or longer. It just has a mind of its own of when it wants to sync rather than push. I want to stick with the stock app, and have tried Cloud Magic, and a couple others, and its just not my "cup of tea". I am at my wits end, and could use some suggestions. I appreciate any and all replies.
Thank you in advance.
Mark (fireman603)
