My Timezone keeps changing...

[stanglifemike]

Ok, sorry if this has been discussed already but I havent been on here a lot recently so I may have missed it. My timezone should be Eastern but keeps changing to Central. Sometimes it wont change for a day, sometimes I set it back to Eastern and 5 minutes later it jumps back to Central while I am still in the same room and my phone is sitting untouched. It has already caused me to be late to work due to my alarm not going off on time, and G-Alarm is the only alarm clock that I use.
What would/could cause this? Quick GPS is up to date, I have already tried switching from Global to CDMA but still nothing.

I had this happen and I was late for work to, same thing. Instead of leaving the clock setting on "My Location" I added my city and selected that city and no more time switching. This started to happen after I ran verizons upgrade that came out.

4 questions:

1. Do you live in a trailer?
2. Is said trailer attached to a pickup truck?
3. Is said pickup truck moving?
4. Do you currently have a Budwieser in your hand?

Okay, all joking aside, I have no clue. This post is completely useless.


Edit: Just so people don't misunderstand my joke here. He stated that the phone sat untouched in the same room which got me thinking the only way to physically change time zones with this scenario is if you are in a trailer. Then the trailer park/ redneck jokes just started coming to me. In no way was this intended to be an insult. Sorry if my humor was misunderstood. Just wanted to clear it up before someone else PMs me angrily.

No, I do not. But someone else mentioned the Verizon upgrade, I think that may be when mine started too.

I notice I am prompted to chose a timezone after every other power cycle, what gives there?

I had an older version of igo8 that when ran, would update my time zone incorrectly. As long as I did not use that program, the time zone was fine.

I think I know the problem to this. Remember about two years ago, DST months were changed. Apparently they were not updated on your cell towers. So new DST takes place in March but old DST happened in APRIL. You will be asking but my time changes on my mobile phone (non PDA). Yes it does because they change time zones on their towers between the month of march and april. Your non PDA phones are not smart enough to get updated with time zones but ur pocket pc phones do get updated. So this solves ur time problem.
But when you active Sync or 'Quick GPS' it uses accurate info and smart phones are smart enough to use time zones and update ur time.


So if you have automatic time synchronization on you need to remove that. This should solve your problems.
