Hello
Since the Daylight Saving time went ahead this past weekend, my HD2 has lost the plot. After reading a few messages on here I decided there was no solution for the myriad of problems I am experiencing.
1) I have disabled Internet Sync for the clock so at least now phone displays the correct time, however
2) my G-Alarm eventhough it rings at the correct time it always tells me my alarm will go off one hour ahead of time, for example when I go to bed at midnight and set the alarm for 7 am it says I have 8 hours to go...
3) SMS timestamps are all over the place.. Everytime I reply to someone my reply goes above the message I am replying to because I have manually set my phone to be taking into account DST but apparently Orange arent sending the correct data?
If anyone has a suggestion that doesnt involve calling Orange or HTC (called both, neither had a solution and both blamed the other) and if there is a solution that doesn't involve UMTS and Internet Sync please do let me know.
Bottom line please help!!
Try this:
Start - Settings - Menu - All settings - personal - phone - GSM & UMTS services - time synchronization - settings > delete all checks.

Thank you for the suggestion, I did that two days ago and since then still all of my messages come with the wrong time stamp through and G-Alarm thinks I should have one more hour of sleep.

I've had the same problem with the sms timestamp (G-Alarm was OK), but this is what I did and it worked for me:
- disable sense in Start > Settings > Home > Items > (untick HTC Sense)
- go to Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > GSM/UMTS Services > Time Synchronization (untick Auto sync)
- set up the correct time and time zone in Start > Settings > Clocks& Alarms (I changed my timezone from Prague to Berlin/Rome)
- soft reset
- enable sense in Start > Settings > Home > Items > (check HTC Sense)
- softreset
try it, maybe it will work for you too...

Thanks, I will try it and report back. fingers crossed!
Sorry to report back to say it did not work... SMS' timestamp it still one hour ahead. Maybe I should ditch the HD2 and buy a primitive nokia =(

Sorry to hear that,
well then it's time to call HTC or your provider
Been having the same problem, for me disabling operator time sync and internet time sync and then connecting to the laptop via active sync and letting them both sync has sorted the problem for me.

So every few days my Titan will default to the Atlantic time zone instead of Eastern time, thus making my time off 1 hour. Very irritating indeed! I've disabled automatic time updates however it's still changing by itself. Any ideas? I'm running DCD 3.2.6.
Maybe.
If you go to phone -> menu -> options -> Services -> time synchronizations -> Get Settings
If the setting is on to synch time to the mobile network, try to turn it off.
Maybe.
Thanks for the response, but from my original post: "I've disabled automatic time updates". That's clearly not the problem, as it's been disabled for quite some time.

Sorry, I'm blind.
When I read that I was thinking you meant the time update in activesync.
Can it be related to activesync?
As far as I know Activesync doesn't change system time automatically or otherwise for that matter?!? If it does please let me know.

Yes it can.
Sync the PDA.
Go to Activesync -> Tools -> Options
Select the PC name you are syncing with. Then select 'settings'. There is a check box for "sync date & time" there.
Actually, it does. I'm in Mexico city and AS will change the time zone for my mogul every time I sync to match the time zone on my PC. That stopped last week though; since we went out of (or is it into??) DST again this Sunday.
Older version of WinMo (i.e. 2003 and 5) made this change permanent, but I keep mine with auto time updates and it reverts back to the proper time when I turn the screen off and on again after the sync is finished.
Also, Outlook needs to be patched for proper sync to occur. Check this Microsoft article to correct the problem.
Let us know if this helped.
are you using garmin mobile xt? there was an issue of this happening, although it was strictly to 8:00 time change it might be something to look at .
Nope, I don't use Garmin XT, nor do I sync with my computer by plugging it in and using ActiveSync with a cable. Ever since I started using an Exchange Server I just sync the data that way. Strange thing is, the date hasn't had a random change in over a week now, while other weeks it would change on a daily basis. Bizarro!
Hi, I thought someone could help me out here. Clock on my htc hd2 gone mad. Let me explain.
At some point last week after I installed new ROM (Omega) I've noticed that clock on my phone started to show wrong time (only hours are wrong, minutes are always correct). Event if I correct time manually they will add 2 hours to this time at some point during the day. I've checked time zone, and it is correct (GMT). The other locale settings are correct as well. I'm not sure if it happened right after I've installed this ROM or few days later. Few days ago I've installed different ROM (ChuckyROM lite), I've never had any problems with it. But again the same problem. I haven't installed any additional applications except from Microsoft MyPhone to sync contacts and texts(Time zone in myphone web interface is set to GMT as well).
Here are details shown on load:
r:2.09.50.29_2
g:15.36.50.07U
d:3.14.0466 8G
Any ideas?
Its because of the DST change recently.....
this cab from Dutty should solve it, install, soft reset, set the correct time and everything should be ok.
and check that you are dont have the intenet time ticked in the settings
because everytime you connect to your pc it will check the internet time and correct it
or just disable time synchronization, settings>menu>all settings>personal>GSM/UMTS servs>Time synchronization and untick.
And also you can choose to sync time in settings>data services, Internet time sync.
It helps me
Great, thank you all.
Hopefully I'll no longer will wake up at 5am because of wrong time in alarm clock
It's a DST problem
DST Means Daylight Savings Time, also known as Summertime.
The problem is caused by NITZ (Network Identity and Time Zone) a service hidden in:
Windows Settings >> Personal >> Phone >> GSM/UMTS Services >> Time synchronization.
This service does set the phone clock back into Summertime mode in registry.
See this post for more info.

Man, you are a life saver. I was just about ready to put an ad to sell my hd2, cause I am using it for my work and appointments are crucial to me.
The cab works fine

After we (UK) changed to daylight saving I had many of the random time changes that others on here had. I unchecked the time sync in the menus and then all was well...
That was until I noticed that now whenever I receive a text message from anyone on whichever network - the time that shows on the text is one hour ahead of the actual time. E.g. if I receive a text in the afternnon at 4:00pm the text message will show 5:00pm.
Any ideas?

Same here.
4:00pm phone time, 5:00pm text message time and 3:00pm G-alarm time.
Confusing? Yes.
Hi
The app "social networks" (already installed as part of motoblur package) keeps "forgetting" to update from time to time. Anyone else has the same problem or knows a solution?
The app does not have a menu to manually update or change any settings.
Right!!! I have the same problem I'm not able to find setting for synchronization...I dont have understand how often the message of facebook (motoblure) are checked??
usually it must be checked every couple minutes as it always seems up to date, but now mine hasn't synced since two days ago. Restarting the phone didn't help either.
I've noticed that after the update (coincidence?) my widget fails to update. This works for me:
menu>settings>data manager>data delivery>background data (toggle the setting off then on) and escape. Seems to keep me going until the next morning. I think the smart battery saving settings that are in effect overnight (default) clog up the works so I need to repeat the process daily...
Yeah, it seems to have failed after update 2.21 > 2.51
And there is no way to manually refresh.
When I've put podcasts on my phone previously, I've been able to subscribe to them automatically through the phone (so I don't need to use my PC to download them anymore). However, I've added a couple more over the past couple of days and I don't get the option box to subscribe anymore.
If I go to a podcast that I've had on my phone for a while, the "Unsubscribe" and "Series Settings" options are still there. They just down't show up on the newer podcasts. Does anyone else have this problem? Turning the phone off and on again doesn't fix it and deleting an re-adding the podcast has no effect either.
I've got the latest software (12220) on my Lumia 800 so I don't know what the issue could be.

Sounds like you've not activated your "Connect to Zune" option after the update.
Check Settings > applications > music+videos > Connect with Zune option = On
Hope that helps mate.

I checked and it was on. I've turned it off and on again and turned the phone off but it didn't change it.
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, I'm hoping to be in the correct section, and I'm also hoping that this isn't a bit too much for the first time!
I looked all over for the solution to this problem I'm having, but unfortunately, everything I have found so far relates to the old Tasker, and since the new one is quite different (and since I'm a big time Tasker noob and beginner) I could not quite crack this.
On my Nexus 5 I would like to use Tasker with Synker plug-in to sync only Gmail when I'm on a mobile data netowrk, but when I connect to any wifi, I would like to sync everything.
I've been trying to do this and I have come up with two profiles (which don't work)
''Mobile Network ON ON ON ON + NOT Wifi connected = Tasker Gmail Sync''
and
''WIFI connected + NOT Mobile network on on on on = Tasker Sync All''
Unfortunately, the above profiles do not work in a way you would expect, it is as if they were not even there. Could somebody please tell me how this can be accomplished. Thank you very very much in advance! I'v been breaking my head over this for hours....
I'm no expert on tasker but I will give it a go
New profile > Time > Repeat every 30 mins ( you can change duration)
+ > Task > If > %WIFII ~ *virginmedia* (replace virginmedia with your SSID, Leave the * at the start and end)
+> Plugin >synker force sync> configuration > tick everything you want to sync when on wifi >save
+> Task> Else
+> plugin > Synker force Sync > Configuration > just tick gmail.
+> Task > endif
This will only work on One SSID at the moment, but I will have a think how else we could do it. In the meantime you could just repeat the profile for the Various SSID's you use, not ideal but will work

Thank you for your fast response. Unfortunately, it either did not work, or I am doing something wrong... Tasker did not indicate the profile to be active, and when I was not connected to wifi my Google Keep would still update. Please refer to two screenshots I took to rule out a mistake on my part.
EDIT: the profile in question is the one on the bottom. I set it to short 2 minute interval purely for testing purposes.
bump. anyone?
