I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while, but it seems like I'm the only one who this is happening to. Since the DST change earlier this month, my Touch Pro won't stay on DST after a re-boot. After syncing it with my computer (I have all the DST updates and stuff from MS), it goes to DST. I've let it wait for the network to fix it, I have an active sync with Google's exchange server, but it only goes to DST after a physical sync with my computer.
The even weirder thing is, while both the clocks in the TouchFlo interface and the clock in the WM6.1 settings dialog display the wrong time (i.e. after a re-boot), PocketShield displays the CORRECT time on the lock screen. This is really odd, since I thought the time in PocketShield was based on the WM clock. The only other application I can think of that uses the clock is G-alarm... but other users have reported that their DST issues were not related to G-alarm.
there is an issue it has to do with your carrier not your phone I had the same issue. go into your setting for the clock and turn off the auto update on startup. That will fix your problem. it is probably just the tower near you having the issue. I had the same issue. I have found references to other types of phones having it to. Strange but true.
Are you running TF3D2? if you are, NEVER tap the clock in it - there is a DST bug in it.
ALWAYS use the "Settings / System / Clock & Alarms" program to adjust your time.
Always apply WMDST2008-1.CAB and WMDST2008-2.CAB files to your PHONE. A lot of Cooks seem to leave them out.
Always switch OFF the "Automatic change time zone and clock" option in Phone / Time Zones.
yeah, I'm having this same problem. However, mine changes to an hour forward about 30 mintues after I change it back, doesn't require a reboot of the device. I can't figure it out.
Mine is okay on the Today screen, but the clock icon is off an hour, must be a DST bug, though what is odd, my clock icon in the top bar is a old style hand clock and not actual time numbers, not sure when it changed, if it was an app I installed or some setting I screwed without realizing.
I will look into the suggestions above.
Thank you

If you launch the phone dialer/Dialpad, Menu/Options/Services. Scroll through the services choices, and you will find and option for time synchronization. Make sure the settings for this is set to Time synchronize with the mobile network.
As long as the network is set to DST, so should the devices clock.
At least I know that this is the case with my TP on Sprint.

For some reason my weather widget when i'm at home always says 14 or current location, not the city name anymore. it has the correct name when i travel if i toggle gps and update the weather but never at home. is the anyway way to reset it clear the saved locations? I already tried the HTC weather widget in setting but all cache clearing options and the likes were grayed out. thanks for any help.
Quite common problem for users .... HTC and Verizon deny the problem exists though. I don't know of a definitive fix.
I figured out what it is, for me atleast. I use advanced task killer as im sure many eris users do (i know they say you dont need it but my eris can get sluggish with lots of apps running). I tried just not closing weather and it still gave me the issue, then on a whim I tried not closing the clock app as well. Voila! problem solved. It updates when I change position and the only apps I have running when idling are clock, weather, and atk.
That should solve it, just don't close out clock and weather and it should work.

For right now I wouldn't go force killing ANYTHING that was preinstalled on the phone when you got it. HTC Sense works in odd ways. As for me I only force kill apps that I put on the phone myself and I don't seem to have as many problems now (lockscreen lockups, jittery touch screen, touch screen not working).
My clock keeps changing 1 hours ahead when i connect to wifi. when it happens it screws up and the date also is not changing the next day Anyone had this happen before and
know a fix? I tried every bit of thing... Please help HELPPPPPPP
go to settings tab, data services, internet time sync, and make sure it is turned off.
Or possibly your phone thinks it is in one time zone, but you have it set to another?
On home screen, tap teh clock and make sure you are set to 'my location', and just for good measure, check your region settings in
settings menu all settings system regional
How can u force a location change on thus thing? Although I have refreshed the weather it still shows a weather of a different city I was many hours ago.

EDIT: before you go down and read the last page, as 99% of the posts are irrelevant, what i had to do in the interim for both of these is this:
1) go to the search cities through the widget and re-add the current location screen which immediately found my location
2) once this was done, the lockscreen was still stuck on the previous location, and this was solved by a restart.
Unfortunately forcing an update on the weather, did not change the location. Turning on the GPS did not either. Therefore im not sure if the update frequency changes this would allow for more accurate location service, or its a small bug that samsung needs to look into.

Dear All,
I am having an odd issue with the time in the notification bar that I cannot seem to fathom. The thing is that my Beautiful Widgets' clock will always show the correct time and as I have the notification bar hidden I generally do not notice that it is incorrect for a while.
When I head into the settings, under the 'Set Time' row it does have the correct time and pushing this does seem to fix the notification bar. Additionally, whilst I usually have the 'Use Network Provider Time' option, when I turn this option off I still get time issues. There is no particular pattern to the error either; the clock doesn't stop, it just leaps to an incorrect time (with incorrect minutes - it does not seem to be a time zone issue). I am worried that one day my alarm won't go off and I shall miss work!
I should also say that I am currently running AOKP M6 on my S3 and I am using the default kernel packaged with AOKP M6. This has been installed for a while and does not seem to contribute to the problem.
(I did see that someone has posted a similar problem today but in the 'Xperia Mini & Mini Pro & Active General' - I assume these are not related, but it is the same problem)
Many thanks for any advice
Hey guys,
I'm an old WM user but new to WP8. Been on an iPhone hiatus for a few years.
Happy to be back.
Picked up a Lumia 920 and enjoying the device so far.
My question is that I keep seeing the "Location" circle drop down into my status bar every 30-60 minutes. It stays there for about 3 seconds and then goes away.
Any idea what is using my location?
iOS did give a very detailed location management settings screen which showed exactly which apps had location permissions and which apps have used location recently.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I'd suggest having a look into Settings / Background Tasks (you'll have to swipe to the side to see application settings which is where this resides). Any App being able to run in the Background is listed there. I'd check for Apps that might use location frequently in that list but I can't give you a more exact answer.
Do you have the find my phone feature enabled? I'm not sure what the polling rate it, but as the battery dies, it polls more frequently.
