So how does the 8525 get its time. I used to have VZ and I never had to set the time. Why doesn't that 8525 or specificly gsm send time? Is there a way to do this? or does the 8525 in fact sync time over the air?
Mine gets it over the air
When I first got the phone I set the time. I just assumed that beacuse it didnt just get it, that I had to manually "fix" the time when it skewed.
ok back to this. I just came from travel and went from WDC to Chicago. My 8525 never switched time zones automaticly. Are these devices supossed to switch time based on where they pick up cell tower signals?

Whether it changes or not depends on whether you have it set to do this.
Go to:
Start>Settings>Phone icon
Look in the tabs bar at the bottom for the "Time Zones" tab.
NB: Some carrier customisations have this tab absent.
To get the tab to appear you can use some different applications or a registry hack. Two freeware applications that enable this tab are:
Htweakc (formerly fit4cat)

Htcustom (downloadable here)

The responsitive registry entry is:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting
Set DWORD ShowNITZPage to 1
Every time I connect my HTC Magic to my PC with the USB connector, I get this popup from HTC Sync telling me that there is a time mismatch.
It asks me to change the time, which is only a few seconds different. If I set the time however, my Magic will be off by one hour. The reason this happens is because somehow the PC and the Magic seem to think they are on different time zones.
My phone date/time:
25 June 2009 18:51:20 (GMT +02:00)
PC Date/Time:
25 June 2009 18:51:25 (GMT +01:00) Romance Daylight Time
Apparently one of the two just looks at the GMT +xx:00 numbers at not at the DST settings. How can I trick them (or one of them) to use the same timezone and set the time correctly ?
For now my workaround is to forbid the time sync, b ut I need to do it each time over and over.
Anybody else seeing this problem ? I also fear that it will prohibit me to do a sync between my outlook contacts and my Magic, because if the times are different, it might be fooled to think that one of the two has changed all the contacts.
Any suggestions are welcome !
Problem fixed with HTC Sync 2.0.4
After upgrading to the latest version of HTC Sync (2.0.4 at this writing), the problem did no longer occur
I've set my clock to autoupdate whenever I change time zones and it has decided to go crazy when returning to UK... all other countries are fine... when I come back home, the phone auto sets to Jerusalem (GMT +2) and it screws with ALL my calendar info... does anyone else have this problem?
Is it just that the networks in the UK aren't broadcasting the correct info?
I hade the exact same problem. I was sure I had a meeting,but the phone said no. double checking and the phone was wrong. Checked timezone and I too had somehow gotten Jerusalem (GMT+2). And I'm in Norway and not the UK. But I did recently travel to Denmark and back (which is same time zone as Norway).
Bug in Windows Mobile or just a fluke?
Mine does same thing each time i change the timezone he return to GMT+2 don't know if it's a probleme with exchange server or activesync or Windows Mobile
First of all I'm using a Topaz with the standard 6.5 ROM. Everything worked fine.
Now I'm want to update my weather and it gives me another weather forecast. Overhere in Holland it's about 4 celsius and the forecast is saying it's 24 celsius. I've also notice that the time is about three hours later then mine local time. Is there a problem with the HTC Europe server? He's updating Bangkok, the clock flip backs to GMT+7 Bangkok, Hanoi. I'm Amsterdam GMT +1. Did several soft resets but that doesn't matter either.
Lately I've installed Gaz TD 2 tools.

Connect to WiFi and see if that fixes it.
WiFi sucks at my place so I've linked my device to my pc. Run active sync and tried. Still the same :S
Take a look in your phone settings, maybe you have checked the automatic change of hour zone and clock, when I have this activated Vodafone mess it up an give a strange location and hour.
I know about that and I've allready checked it out.

I appreciate your help, thanks
If I select a location nearbye it won't give any troubles. The time is right and the weahter prediction is correct.
A couple of days ago I went outside and tried to update the weahter forecast. Same problem, same time GMT +7. After that, I went to work some kilometers (10km) furhter then my place. Tried the samething and it update the time and weather forecast just the right way. After work I went to my girlfriends place, also updated the weather, still no problems.
Today back home I thougt lets update the weather forecast. And yes it was messed up again. GMT +7 again, etc, etc. Still no news from HTC. Thats strange because normally they reply verry quick.
Maybe is something related to the TD2 Tools, Have you asked in that thread?; try to uninstall, or, more radical, back up of your data and Hard Reset...
I met with similar problem, probably diamond recieved wrong information about position from gsm network (your provider has bad geographical data on bts). Try to use only gps to set your location at home.

sorry for my bad english...try this, change phone settings to off, phone will not take position from network, in the waether panel choose option my location. Of course diamond has to be connected to internet.
additional question, if you set your location manualy, weather is ok? I had in our network (vodafone) on my place some town from asia...

What do you mean by setting the location manualy.
So I have to turn off my phone in comm manager. Still link my phone to my pc?

yes, in comm manager and phone must be connected via wifi or pc to internet just to receive weather data from server. In this case phone will use gps to set your location.
manually...I mean, you can set your town in option "add new town" in weather panel, if you receive wrong data from gsm netwok there must be a difference between automatic location received via network and your manual entry.
Okay I've seen that. I'll try when I'm back home.
My city isn't in the list but I've added some city's nearbye and they updsted correctly.
Got some screen shots made with shake and save. First I had this only in my home town. Now I've got it some kilometers further at my girls place. Also have been e-mailing with htc. They told me it's about the gms not gps. It updates good with only gps when I turned the phone of in comm manager.

As I tried to explain...I think the problem is because phone updates its position from positioning system in gsm network (LBS=Location-based-Service). Bts could have wrong location information or there could be some problem with compatibility with phone and network etc. Some other services provided by your operator are based on LBS usually on wap portal (place of nearest ATM, petrol station. etc.), try to use some and see the result.

Yes I know that you explain about the GPS. Just saying I've tested it
Still e-mailing with HTC. I've also e-mailed Vodafone NL because they are about the GSM-pole.
For some reason - despite working fine previously, my phone has decided, whilst sitting on my desk here in South East London (UK), that it would rather be elsewhere. It therefore now states that it is in Austin, Texas, and has adjusted the time accordingly. Hence my morning alarms are going off.
I can open google maps and it finds me (after a moment) in South East London.
This appaears to then bring th phone to its senses and it comes back to London time etc.
Leave it alone on my desk for a while and I am back in Texas!
Anyone got any ideas whats going on?
Well, the old adage of turn it off and turn it on again did not help.
However, I noticed that I left the wifi on this morning, and I have the box ticked to allow it to find locations using wifi as well. Have unticked that box and so far (only 5 minutes tho) there is no sign of texas......
Did you check to make sure its not just a case of the HTC clock app being set to the wrong time zone? Might also want to toggle off/on the option to set the time zone automatically using network settings, and see what happens.
Thanks for the suggestion - my adjustment re using wifi to find location seems (so far) to have fixed it. Perhaps someone near my office is using a wifi network with the same name as one in Texas......
Lol that is weird. Perhaps they were vpn'd or tunnelled into a network originating in texas. Maybe its the government, intercepting their internet traffic! Quite weird indeed lol, glad its fixed.
