Arizona timezone wrong

jbmercha · #1 (**permalink**) 09-21-2008, 12:58 PM

I live in Arizona, and the timezone setting appears wrong. Arizona has no daylight savings time, but it is showing up like Mountain time which does. Anyone know if there is a patch to fix Arizona or a setting to disable daylight savings?

I have had this problem with both my Mogul and the Diamond. Best I can suggest is adjusting the timezone so that the time matches up, then when everything switches, manually change it over to the other timezone. If you manually set it on Arizona and have all of your times correct, it will reset the zone from the tower data and everything will be wrong without you knowing.

I noticed this is only a problem after turning the phone back on.

If you turn it off, then on, it goes ahead an hour, even if it is set to the AZ timezone. Stupid little bug.

Arizona has no daylight savings. Anyone know where the timezone / daylight savings information is stored? It should be easy to fix if I can find where the information is stored.

Same here. Had to set it to Pacific to get the right time. How annoying.

Should be able to fix this via the registry (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923953)

I had a time discrepency on my mogul, between the phone's time and Windows time that showed up as a 3-4 min. difference between the time on the top bar and the time on my Today Screen clock. I finally found a time fix on microsoft downloads somewhere. it was a DST patch. ... I,m sure the Diamond shipped with the same WM6.1 as my mogul did. since you have no DST in AZ maybe this patch will fix you...
