ActiveSync Changing My Clock to the wrong time

---

Hey guys,

For some reason (I'm assuming it has something to do with the recent day light savings time change), whenever I sync my phone to my computer, it bumps the phone time up an hour. The computer time is correct, but the phone is changed. I change it back on the phone, and it's fine until I sync again. Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this from happening?

You have to change the time zone on your phone to here you are, i had the same problem.

OR... once your phone is connected, click tools, options, then settings when Windows PC is highlightes, then make sure "Synchronize Pocket PC......" is NOT checked.

You can also apply this patch and see if it helps....

I think the CAB worked. Thanks a lot!

hey no prob, glad I could help out

I have a similar issue, only it just started happening after upgrading to Vista and using Mobile Device Center instead of activesync, however my phone time gets bumped up 3 hours. Both my computer and phone are set to the correct time zone. I live in the US Eastern Time Zone (GMT -5), but my phone uses a GMT-8 (US West Coast) phone number which is 3 hours behind where I am now. Not sure if that is part of the issue? Any ideas?

Check the QuickGPS is working OK, if it is not able to do the update it causes the time zone changes. Change to QUICKGPS Service to Manual mode, then the issue may not arises. I had this issue and now OK For me.

There is a "Time Zones" tab under Phone you can try unchecking the box on there.

the cab didn't work for me =( However, I've managed to solve this problem. The workaround is open MS ActivSync, then click Tools->Options->Settings-> uncheck the "Synchronize Pocket PC date and time upon connecting" That should solve the problem.
