I know I'm going to be beaten for asking a question that surely has been answered somewhere in here, but I've searched extensively and can't find my answer. The WM 6 upgrade I used doesn't include an option to acquire date/time info from my carrier/network (AT&T, US). I've found many WM6 versions where this ability has been cooked in, but is there a stand-alone file I can download to add this functionality to the WM6 version I currently run?

Thanks.

download any tweak cabs (like pimp my black, tweakui) and check the "timezone" box, soft reset

goto your network settings > timezone tab > check the box.

I'm with you, I can't find it either. I can find the option to have the time zone change automatically but not to acquire the date/time info from my carrier.

This involves 2 registry changes...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\NITZEnable= dword:00000001]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\ShowN ITZPage=dword:00000001]

Attached is a small cab that has those entries.

(These are also included in my personal WM6 tweak cab in my signature.)

Enjoy.

The problem I've found with enabling the time and time/zone update is that it doesn't work problem on the 3 network in Sydney, Australia. Instead of going to GMT + 10 Sydney, it always goes to GMT +10 Vladivostok !!

Unfortunately this messes up appointments and puts the clock an hour out because it seems to think it's in daylight saving...

Can't blame the 3 network though because it updates ok on other non-windows mobile phones.
