Weather Update Causes Shift in Time Zone
 
I saw some similar threads, but nothing with my exact problem. When my weather updates, it switches my phone to a different time zone. I have called US Cell and they have done everything including a master reset on my phone. US Cell says it is a software problem and I need a new phone. Of course they are out of stock and not available for weeks. HTC says it is a cell tower problem, that US Cell is sending out the wrong time over the towers. I find that hard to believe as I have had US Cell for years and years and never had this problem until the day I purchased the HTC Touch Pro 2. Any idea how to fix this? It has the potential to cause real problems with my calendar. I don't want to disable the weather because I love that feature. Thanks in advance.

Yup, I've found that if I use "My Location" as the time displayed on the home screen the time zone randomly changes. Once I set a specific location (Touch the clock, select Add City, add a specific city, and make it the default) then time time zone stays correct.

Okay... I guess mine was caused by something else. iGo8 was set to sync the timezone with the OS. I added a parameter in the sys.txt file and now everything is working great!

It's nice to know I can put in a work around to deal with this pretty darn annoying problem. However, I would like to know if anyone knows what causes this or knowos of an actual fix...

It would really be nice to get this working as intended...

i dont know the deal, but i just flashed to mightyrom 1/10 and i am not having the prog anymore. i did also reinstall most if not all of my original cabs. the problem could have been from cabs but im thinking mike fixed it somehow in his latest rom

Well scratch that last post from me...I just updated to MR 1/13 and the problem returned. Went back to 1/10 and the problem was there. Can't figure out what I did before to fix it.

Anytime I set my timezone through Clocks and Alarms to be in Central US Time (GMT-6) it reverts back to Eastern US Time (GMT-5) whenever my weather is updated. Tried many things off of a fresh install with and without doing Sprint provisioning...

I know I can just sidestep the issue by manually setting my location to a specific city, but it is so annoying not having the program work the way it was meant to >_<.

I am having this happen when connected via wifi. My phone thinks I'm in beijing. I get time and weather for china. Don't know if this sheds any light for you or not.
