Diamond self-syncing time to internet/carrier ?

[Pesty_74]

Have a problem with my Diamond, its set to 15mins faster than real time (habit of mine) and only occasionally when it syncs with my Vista64 PC the time reverts to "real time".

I'm not sure if its syncing the time to the internet or via my phone carrier, tried to fix this under phone options on the diamond and activesync options to no avail.

This is driving me nuts as I'm using the phone as an alarm clock and it won't be pretty if I wake 15mins late for work...

I'm not sure what 'problem' you're stating here? If you're complaining that your PC corrects the time on your device when you sync, then you don't have a 'problem' with your device - that's what syncing does (amongst other things)!

.. or are you saying that you want it to correct the time, and it isn't?

Well to clarify :
PC clock and phone clock is 15mins faster
OCCASIONALLY (its done this in about 1 per 4-5 syncs) the phone reverts back to "normal" time (i.e. goes back 15mins). The PC clock is still 15mins faster.

This leads me to believe that the phone is updating the time either from the carrier or the internet (its set to use the PC's internet connection when synced)

To keep phone from syncing with PC time:
In ActiveSync on PC, right click on "Windows PC", click the "Settings" button. Uncheck "Synchronize Pocket PC date and time when connecting."

Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately I'm running Vista64 and Windows Mobile center doesn't have that function, I've tried all the options looking for something similar for the past 2 days....

Thats odd - I always thought it synced with the PC's time.

Yeah I know, I've checked that extensively, its 15mins slower than my PC time.
I'll try and see if turning off auto-adjust for timezone/daylight savings helps
