hi,
i googled and searched forums but can't find an answer.. but i'm in central time on sprints network and whenever i go into roaming it bumps my time an hour ahead.. either DST crap or eastern time crap.. i don't know but its really annoying and i like to roam once in awhile.. so turning off roaming doesn't solve it..

thanks in advane!

Me too,
The real problem, Iâ€™m in and out roaming all day, working downtown Chicago.

I've found that manually setting the time back an hour works until you use data.

But I've also learned that if you try to set an alarm and set the time back too many times you will have a repeating alarm that cannot be deleted. So I had 3 alarms called "wake" that went off at 5pm every day that I could not find in the Clock Settings, or in the registry! Had to hard reset to get rid of them.

So I would suggest turning off your alarms while roaming.

You probably might consider disabling "Automatic Time Sync." it might help...

it might help if automatic time sync didn't sync the wrong time too...

is there a fix for this somewhere? it's driving me crazy! will a hard reset help anything?
