My Touch Pro will not keep the correct time zone! I live in Arizona and it keeps defaulting back to Mountain? Any suggestions?
Yep, that's what it does. I have to set it to Pacific to have the right time. If I go back and check it, it shows Mountain. Pretty darn annoying.

i too live in az, and it is truely annoying that sprint cant seem to get the time to work on their most "advanced" phone. but there is a "fix". cant take credit for finding this gem, sorry cant remember exactly where i found it so cant give props.
oh and it sometimes reverts back after a soft reset, but so far best "fix" i have found.
go to clock settings change your time zone to GMT london click ok. now go to the dialer go to phone options-services-time syncronization-update settings.
there is a small delay, but it will update, and set to mountain standard, like its supposed to.
mine used to do the same thing then i flashed new radio and custom rom and it stopped having the problems (right now running silence 9) i think it has something to do with when it connects to the tower to update the time it ignores the daylight saving time and then just defaults
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with the click on my HD2.
It is a Portuguese Rom.
It's always one hour before! I tried to change the time and settings to GMT Lisbon/London, and goes fine. When I connect to the internet, and update some stuff, especially the weather, the GMT goes back to Casablanca.... meaning, 1 hour before!
I tried to change the setting in Manilla settings with now sucess.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
I also had this problem some weeks ago... I corrected it by setting in the data connetion settings the option "sync time with internet" in sense settings.
Also in the start menu I had an app/button which was called "Carrier Time". It seems like it syncs it with the carrier or cell im logged in or something like that.
Are you using "My location" feature?

Hello,
Thank you for your answer. Yes i'm using my location.
I think I already got it. It's the sync time with the internet. I turned it off.
I think everything is ok now.
Thank you very much.
Time/Location Problem
Hope this is the right place for this question - I have a Telstra HD2 and live in Sydney. However, whenever I do a soft reset/hard reset the default location for time, etc reverts to Brisbane, which is in another state. Creates problems with time, especially daylight saving. I have tried changing all the usual options but with no success.
Does anyone know of any registry setting, etc that might apply. This is my second HD2 (previous one had a GPS problem and was exchanged for a new one - and still the same problem. I also noticed the demo HD2 in the Telstra store today was set to Brisbane as the default location (again, the shop is in Sydney).
Any help???

As suggested above turn of sync internet time and set your time zone manually to Sydney. If you hard reset your phone you will have to this procedure again. Soft resets are fine!

Thanks for the advice, I had tried the above, but with no success. However, I had also posted on the Forum for the Telstra HD2 9193 version and received the answer below from Tmorgan4 which seems to have fixed the problem so I am quoting it here for the benefit of anyone else who might have a similar problem. There are so many places that can cause a problem, the trick is to find the correct one.
Tmorgan 4 says: "I think I used to fix it via Settings Page - All Settings (down bottom right) - Personal - Phone. Under that is a GSM/UMTS Services Tab. Under Time Syncronization disable it."

The problem is there are three ways to sync the time on the HD2:
1) Sync with Internet
2) Sync with telecom provider
3) Sync with Activesync
The first two options use location. If your location is incorrectly determined, disable the location service and set your location manually.
It is my experience the Telco Provider time is not so reliable
Yesterday My provider insisted it was 6:05 when actually it was 10:25.... (I now Disabled it)
Internet time / Activesync time are more reliable, if your location is correct.
Disable location service if the phone determines your location wrong.
I do not know, but I can imagine syncing through Activesync can cause problems if your computer is in a different timezone as your phone (eg, computer has London as location and phone has Amsterdam as location)
Concluding:
Four settings can influence time on your phone: Activesync, Internet Time, Telco Provider and Location services.

This post fixed my incorrect time setting issue so BIG thanks for posting it, and not forgetting thanks to Tmorgan n' all
so thanks. It worked for me
Funny thing! cause i turned of "sync with internet" and used option to "automaticly decline location service" and yet, my "hour" seems to be changing RANDOMLY.. sometimes one hour ahead, sometimes two! Which is pretty nasty, cause i may have troubles waking up at the specific hour for work
new problem !!!!
hi, i have a big problem regarding the time changing , my htc hd2 goes 1 hour in front every time i make a restart , please help
I am from the UK
Running energy rom
Internet updates the time correctly but the get carrier time sends it forward one hour. It also keeps randomly going forward one hour whenever it wants! Driving me MAD
massive troubles with time in all Custom ROMs
What is the exectly problem with the time bug
I also use Energy ROM from 19.11.2010 and my time is now 3 hours ago
I disabled the 2 timesync (Provider, Network) but still have the issue
SHould I also turn of AGPS or localisation?
is there a CAB to fix that?

Afte reading these two threads and trying out the cabs and tips...... ITS WORKED
Its been 19 hours and nothing has changed and the time is still correct
My Rezound, #2, will not keep me in the correct timezone when set to automatic. I'm in Central and it keeps adjusting to Eastern. I've had to turn off auto and just leave it manually set.
Any tips/fixes out there?
Thanks!
My rezound did this at first. After 3 replacements for different reasons it no longer happens. Maybe a factory reset?
Been hoping to avoid that. But may give it a go soon.
speaking of timezones,I always notice the times are off an hour on here whether using a browser or tapatalk. haven't looked in profile settings.yet
sent from tapatalk on my rezound
Hummm, just manually set the times zone to GMT and then toggled auto and it it gave me the correct time zone. Cross fingers and see if it holds.
Well nevermind that didn't last long.
Yeah sorry I should have mentioned that. It changes back anyway. Tried it a few times.
No sweat. Bummer, here goes the reset.
Another member had this issue as well.. He contacted vzw t2 tech support and they put in a ticket for him. He reported that the situation was rectified.
I get this problem when switching between ROMs. I set it manually and then I change to auto and it fixes it.
Sorry, a reset won't fix it. I have the same problem. I'm on my second HTC Rezounds and they both have the problem - maybe it's my location to Eastern Time Zone (probably 60 miles?). However, my Samsung Galaxy Nexus never had this problem... but then again I didn't like the Samsung hardware.
Yeah, did the manual set for the timezone and its fine until you apply the auto setting then it always sets itself to EST.
Yep, the reset didn't do anything. My concern is if it's a hardware prob that's gonna get bigger down the road or not. Guess I could try the RUU, if i can find one for 2.01.605.11
D'oh. I did search for timezone but apparently they expect you to spell it correctly. So re-searched and found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372198&page=2
Sooo, downloaded LTE onoff and set to CDMA Auto (PRL) and then selected the auto setting and it's rocking the correct timezone.
LTE teething prob? Doesn't make sense as it seems to affect only a few handsets.
Update: Changing it back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto (LTE) reintroduces the error and it's back to EST again. Setting it to Global mode (like CDMA Auto (PRL) it drops to CDMA - eHRPD) and it's back to the correct timezone.
I have been getting repeated pop up messages, something to the idea of "Network does not provide date and time information, go to date/time settings to change setting...".
I have not had this issue with other AT&T phones. I presume AT&T's network DOES provide time/date to the phone?
Has anyone else seen this? What is the resolve?
Thanks.
Edit:
Here is an alternative:
Install the free "ClockSync" from Market.
It syncs via NTP, is very configurable how it syncs, can sync only while awake or booting up (to save battery), and can provide timezone offset via database or GPS. I have been using it for a few days, it seems to work very well.
This allows us to turn off the network time sync and the clock will stay accurate.
Edit 2:
Lots of apps sync--Google contacts, calender, GApps, FB, etc. I don't know which relies on time stamp. In some cases, the app may unexpectedly alter data based on erroneous time stamp. This is partially why it's important to make sure that your clock does not drift too much.
make sure your time zone is correct because that can cause this.

Thanks for your reply. My timezone was/is correct. Any other ideas??
I was having this exact issue the first couple days with my Note. Had no idea what was causing it, but haven't seen it since. My time zone was also set correctly.
I noticed this the first day when I had the phone. It seems to pop up when switching between LTE and HSPA+. Maybe the phone pings the tower for updated time/date every time the radios hand off?
It hasn't happened again after the first 2 days for me.

samething happened to me the very first day...but i havent seen it that annoying notice since
Mine and my fiancés phone have this issue too.
Had the Note since launch and I got the message for the first time today.

I started getting that when I tried switching to the APN that would (in theory) disable LTE since I'm in a fringe area. When I switched back to the default APN it stopped.
Don't know if changing APN had any effect other than the error messages.

This problem may be cell-site dependent. I see it all the time at home, but have not seen it at my office. This is just one day though. I will keep observing.
I just had this happen and I went to settings/date and time and unchecked automatic (use network provided values) hopefully this will eliminate that bug.

Ptoryno worke,
Had the note for a day and returned cause I saw and online discount of 50% off so I'm waiting on it to come through the mail. During that day, I has the same problem frequently. I unchecked "set time zone automattically" and it stopped happening.
I came from a Skyrocket running 2.3.5 to the Note which came with 2.3.6 and never had the prompt come up on the SR but I get it frequently on the Note. I didn't have to adjust anything on the SR and left everything default so I'm thinking that it could be a bug in 2.3.6?
I see people saying to uncheck the automatic Date & time so it doesn't use network-provided values. The funny thing is, the SR was fine with that checked and the Note is using the same wireless / towers. It's kind of mis-information since it says "Network does not provide date and time information," unless the SR was bugged and just didn't care to report it!
I only have this problem when im connected to wifi

Go to your local at&t store and have them take a look at it

I turned off automatic time in date and time settings and it stopped for me.

i only saw this bug while running saurom and just chalked it up to the goofed apn settings and lack of +supl.
+supl helps with location based services which would be necessary to pull the right time zone to set your clock.

Its a network error. The system is trying to connect and update the time and date and it cannot. Its typically going to happen when using the "phone" apn or if the phone cant communicate with the network
yuuuup
I'm going to chime in, I'd suggest call ATT its probably a cell site issue. Does it happen when you're connected to a different tower?

This happened on my Samsung Infuse also. Just unchecked the auto retrieve date then changed it back later. Not the end of the world. End of issue.

Has anyone else been having problems with their location and 3G signal?
For instance, every time an app needs my location, it says "Unable to detect current location". and the weather widget just says "Current Location". I've tried all the basics including disabling and re-nabling automatic time zone, restarting the phone, updating PRL and Profile, etc. Checked the settings in the weather widget and some settings were unchecked, but checking them didnt make a difference. It doesnt matter if its on Wi-Fi or 3G. It cannot seem to find my location. After updating the PRL (and contacting Sprint), it was finally able to find my location, but now its stuck on that location, even with a refresh. I'm 30 miles from the location its showing (as I travel across town for work).
Also, my 3G signal randomly drops every hour or so. Sometimes it comes back on its own, and other times, it does not. I have to go into options and manually disable and re-enable it.
I have an appointment at the Sprint store on Saturday, but I was wondering if you guys have found any fixes that would help me to avoid getting a new phone.

lol man, I've got about 10 posts in viperrom thread about this same issue.
I don't have a (real) solution, but here's my take on it: My area was recently upgraded to 3G and this is the first sense rom I've used on those towers. For me, the problem has only been with Sense based widgets and apps. 4square, facebook, maps, everything else has no problem with my location (i always leave gps toggled on).
I go anywhere where the towers haven't been upgraded and BOOM, sense has my location within seconds. I think it has to do with the recent NV upgrades my area got and it not being fully completed.
For me to get correct location at home, I have to use wifi with home router, then use something that needs gps, then update the weather widget. That will normally hold it for a few hours.
Like I said, not a solution, but what I believe to be the cause of it. If I find a way of permanently fixing it, I'll let ya know.

Yeah, thats what Sprint told me when I called. That they recently upgraded the towers near my home. But across town where I work, it hasnt been upgraded, and its the same problem.
I do believe that has something to do with it though. Older versions of Sense didn't take the upgrade and thus arent having any problems.
Appreciate you keeping me in the loop!

Exactly. I'm hoping that a future OTA will take care of it. I've sent a few emails to HTC regarding the issue. I know it's nothing huge nor serious, but it's nice when it works properly.
Well, at least I know I'm not the only one then. I guess swapping the phone wouldn't do much good if its tower related.
I feel like taking it into the Sprint store, the employees would just re-do everything I've already done and tell me to come back if it happens again.
I'm with bernechad in hoping a software update will fix it.
More info on the connection issue
I just got off the phone with HTC. They did not have this issue in their database but do now. I sent them a link to this thread. They did not have a clue about what to do to fix it.
For whoever is keeping the lists of locations where this is a problem I'm in Georgetown, TX.
