PROBLEMS WITH TIME ZONE--activesync?

[thormdac]

howdy all,

beleive it or not but i am expiriencing massive problems keeping the time zone. roughly estimated since 2007, i am finding the zone to shift irregularly from GMT +1 Berlin to GMT -8 Seattle. this leading to a shift of all appointments and alarms means massive complications. i find this to be reproducable by opening the alarms sections and setting an alarm. as if this is abug, the time zone shifts around this action, though not directly traceable.

any ideas???:mad:

I am having the same problems. It makes it really hard to appreciate the calendar and alarm and keep using it.

[thormdac]

it seems i have found at least a remedy for this somewhere else:

set both the "home" and the "visited" time zone to the required one on your ppc. that does it for me.

at all wm5 developers: HERE IS A BUG!

Yes, confirm that bug on Polish T-Mobile MDA3c.

Solution is to set both timezones to the one you want.
They dont change after that.

Thanks. I hope it works.

I had the same problem, ActiveSync changed Home Time zone to Visiting zone on every sync..
I then changed to the same zone on both and got rid of the problem..
Thanks alot, this was driving me crasy.

Not only on activesync.
A set my homezone, close window, open clocks windows again and i have old (bad) timezone.

I send email to htc, and open issue,

I had the smae problem on my cid unlocked Orbit with an HTC rom. I set both zones to gmt +1 - then did a soft reset - then set the visiting time zone back to gmt -8 so I dont wake anyone up when I call from Germany - and I have zero problems since then.

also on my t-mobile. but worse thing is after activesync then changing time manually back and soft-reset, I only could startup in safe-mode (from iLauncher). After a couple of hours all went OK again. one of my app is obviously checking time on files, freezing while it detects time bigger then current.
Thanks for advice

It's still a bug in WM5, an solved in WM6. So You should update to WM6 or set both timezones to the same time
