X2 Tilewave Daylight Savings Fix

[dave-ro-mex]

Hi.

I made a quick and crude patch to the TilewavePanel.dll file to cruedly but effectively correct the Daylight savings problem that I and lots of others were having.

----------

To use this...

1. Download THIS - TilewavePanel.dll which is 920KB in size... or use the 355KB ZIP file attached to this post.

2. Copy the new TilewavePanel.dll file to My Device\Program Files\Panels\TilewavePanel. Replacing the original.
-----> You may need to rename the old file first as it is "in use" but it still lets you rename it.
-----> If you are using the basic File Explorer built in to Windows Mobile then you may need to go to the Menu and check Show all Files before the dll files become visible.

3. Go to the Registry using Resco or PHM... Navigate to, HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\TilewavePanel\City\0, edit the DaylightSaving key and change it to 0.

3. Do a soft reset.
-----> If the time is still 1 hour fast, then go back to the registry and check that the DaylightSaving key is still set to 0.

----------

What this does is... Whenever the Tilewave Panel weather gets updated, instead of overwriting the DaylightSaving key in the registry it writes to a different key DaylighSavinX. But the Daylight Savings time is still read from the original key. So you can change it to 0 without it being overwritten.

Hope this is useful!

working very well
i like the way you thinking, making the weather update false string and system still reading the original key XD

thanks!!

Now it works with the same time as on wm 6.5 thanks alot!!!

 

[Intratech]

Works just fine. Cheers mate.

Very good work, mate.

Just like everything in coding, very simple fix. If I knew how to amend .dll files, I would have tried to make it not write to a key at all, and completely remove that line of code.

Thanks for this, makes the panel so much better!

Does not work for me :-(

 

[biboleo]

Does not work for me :-(

Agreed. I can't get this fix to work either. It works until automatic update and reverts back to being one hour ahead.

Sounds like you are not actually replacing the original dll file correctly. As the patch works just fine.

Go to My Device\Program Files\Panels\TilewavePanel.

Make sure Show all Files is checked on the menu. Then rename the TilewavePanel file that is 918K in size to "Old" or "Backup" or something like that.

Then Copy the patched TilewavePanel file from your Storage Card or using ActiveSync to My Device\Program Files\Panels\TilewavePanel.

Soft-Reset the device.

Go to the Registry and Set DaylightSaving to 0.


-------

You can confirm if the patch is installed by... First updating the weather on the Tilewave. Then, going to HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\TilewavePanel\City\0 in the registry. There should be a new DWord value called "DaylightSavinX". If that key isn't there, it is not installed.

I'm sorry but my ignorance is frustrating me.
First download link is bad. Zip file can't be downloaded to device with IE because it opens straight to Total Commander and won't extract.
Opera 10 Beta keeps hanging up and I can't get it that way either.
Downloaded to PC, extracted dll and emailed it to my account.
Accessed with device and followed instructions. Still not working for me.
Extracted dll is 918.7kb just as original.
Can you possibly enlighten me?

Simply changing the daylight saving time from 1 to 0 or vise versa wortked for me - did not need to change dll.

Do an update for your weather and check again.
