registry keys

[samery]

Hi Everyone:

A small clarification is needed. My device is defaulting to Moscow GMT+3 everytime I restart it. I want to know actually 3 things if possible:

1- What's the registry key that allows you to select the regional settings?

2- How can I know the table code of countries like Moscow is 0x00FFXXX, etc... for the various time zones.


3- I noticed sometimes that whatever registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> nls, they are changed everytime the system restarts. I was assuming that nls\overrides is doing that but I altered everyting and yet after restart new values appear in nls keys and even in overrides. Is there any other place in registry that writes values on top of nls upon restart?

appreciate the help,

Cheers:cool:

I have a similar problem where the backlight timeout setting (on battery power) resets to 10 seconds everytime I turn my MDA off. Really annoying.

I've tried changing the setting in the registry directly as well, but it still changes back.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Scott

It is strange that something keeps changing the reg settings.
I had the 10 second thing on my Jamin and it seem to have something to do with the screen lock plugin.

Never did solve it.

Locale settings are in HKLM\nls DefaultLCID (dword) and you can find all possible values here (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms921461.aspx).
But the time zone is set in HKLM\Time\TimeZoneInformation and its a bit complicated (its a whole data structure and not just a value)

I think you need to check your startup programs (HKLM\init and windows\startup).

Thank you for your reply and for the great link. I am starting to feel that this problem is related to HTC Home. Appreciate if anyone can comment on this issue.

I've been playing with the new PDAMobiz ROM and discovered that in Settings->Phone there is an option to sync time with the cellular network.
Unfortunately this will also force your time zone in to what ever the network is set to which at least in my case is incorrect because the network operator did not want to bother with DLS settings.

Perhaps you have this setting on as well?
