Question 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.
Steph

Re: Weather Update Causes Shift in Time Zone
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.

Re: Weather Update Causes Shift in Time Zone
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!

Re: Weather Update Causes Shift in Time Zone
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...

Re: Weather Update Causes Shift in Time Zone
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 >_<.

Re: Weather Update Causes Shift in Time Zone
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.

Re: Weather Update Causes Shift in Time Zone
I have the same problem.
I am in Chicago, with Verizon, with the WM 6.5 update.

When the weather updates to curren tlocation, I jump to the Eastern Time Zone.

The only workaround I have is to disable the HTC Location Service under Settings/Location Settings, then enable the "Time synchronize with mobile network automatically" under Personal Settings/Phone/CDMA Services.

I get the correct time, but the weather is not current.
