Hi, I recently took my HTC Touch 2 on a travel and I noticed that when I'm in a neighbor country the device didn't notify me about the timezone change (I had a second phone with me: a Samsung E250 which instantly notified me about the timezone update/change) and I had to change the hour/time manually on the HTC. Is there a way to make this phone to behave like my Samsung? Thanks.
Have just checked the phone but could not find.....
Perhaps there is a cab floating around.......to be continued.
Could not find anything......
sorry mate
try this
Telephone-->menu-->options-->GSM/UMTS Services-->
scroll down, Time synchronisation
please note, my version is in dutch, but the menu options should be something like this
Good catch...... is there also a notification......?
Thanks donSjon, after 3 days of ticket pending I got the official answer from the HTC support and I want to share with the others:
"Are you enabling to update timezone manually from network? PLease go to start>seetings>personal>phone>timezone. You could as well go to start>settings>system>clock and alarms>check visiting timezone".

Hi,
I flashed my XDA Neo with the latest Dopod ROM but I lost my HomeZone app. Can someone upload it here? Thanks!
home zone o-2 de
Hi,
Did home zone application ever worked for you? I had my neo with german rom and home zone application never displayed home icon or any visual indication that I was in home zone, when in fact I was in the home zone area. And yes application was loaded.
It worked on my magician (xda mini), but not on prophet (neo).
As far as actual application cab. I've seen it somewhere on this forum an attachment with german ext rom folder. Try that.

Hi,
here you go. For me it works with the XDAneo. The icon only shows when I klick on the "Phone-Connection" Button. Not the best solution in my opinion, but it works.
Bye,
Sven
Very strange :?
Installed the app, works, says that HZ is running, but also "No coordinates received". And no little house anywhere
HZ problem
I've got the same problem.. I think there is something else you have to install from xda neo ext rom.. I've tried installing everything though, it didn't fix the problem. This issue accure after the rom upgrade to WWE from German. But to be honest, the HZ didn't work for me even before upgrade. I didn't have a problem with coordinates though. It just wouldn't display the home zone icon..
Yeah man, doesn't work for me either. What do you think, if I just wrote to O2 customer support and explained that I didn't install their crappy extended ROM, would they be so kind as to give me step by step instructions on how to get my home zone icon?
HZ and o2 tech reps
Not a chance! : ) At least not with O2 in Germany. Sorry for bursting your bubble, man. I’ve called them before, several times intact. I’ve spoken to a few different tech reps regarding this issue on few different occasions. Their only solution is a hard reset! They only go by the basic manual they have for this, where’s the only solution for fixing anything is hard reset. These guys there have no idea how to reset PPC without manual!
On one occasion I’ve asked them about “English WM” ( WWE Rom), since my previous phone (Magician) was in German, (that is when I was plain uneducated about flashing this phones and etc.) and guess what their answer was?! They’ve said that flashing the phone or putting any localizer third party software was going to kill the device without chance of restoration! I mean c’mon, how smart is that? So much for the tech support!
But any way, you try that, may be you’ll have more luck! May be they just wanted to prevent me from half flashing my phone or incurring any other errors to the point of no recovery on my own. But I have half flashed my prophet few times, had RUU stopping with all kinds of errors half way trough the process, leaving the phone with no rom Installed, and still, managed to restore the rom. It only cost me my fingers that I bit of in the process and tons of beer for the recovery : ) any way, good luck! Let me know if you find the solution.
By the way, you can ask them to enable voice indication of home zone. You’ll here Voice indicator “Home” when dialing from home zone. It’s kind of inconvenient, but it’s the only solution for me right now.
Unfortunately, aleksandr is absolutely right. The German O2 XDA support is not just poor - they disinform you! Come on, I know much more stuff about those devices yet than those guys, and I've had a PPC for only a couple of months. The "home" voice is the only solution for me too so far.
Awww, come on! I was kidding, that's why I put a smiley behind my post and used a somewhat sarcastic choice of words!
So for Home Zone voice confirmation I just call the hotline and ask them to enable it? That would work for me I guess. A simple icon would be better though... Sometimes I wish I was smart and could just write my own little programs!
HZ working now!
Hey guys. The other day I had nothing better to do then taking apart Neo’s german extended rom content and tried the home zone application on my prophet (wwe, dopod 818 pro rom) I’ve installed Home Zone cab posted by Sauron1978de and then RilGSM patch from the O2 (can be found in german O2 extended rom content. And funny thing it worked! I tried it a hundred times before and it never worked up until now. Just make sure you install rilgsm patch last. It does the soft reset at the end. I have home icon now in my connections notification bubble. Let the pda run for a few minutes until it receives new sms with coordinates and you should be all set. Make sure you have home zone short cut in your start up folder.
Good luck!
Hi!
It works for me too! But I would like to see this icon on the top of the screen without pressing any buttons.
icon at the top bar
yeah, me too! no luck on that though..
do you know how to get rid of the sting "HZDisplayDataSMP" which appears on the top of the screen?
how to get rid of the sting "HZDisplayDataSMP"
No idea. never had this. may be by unchecking "Receive channel list" in Phone settings - More- Broadcast Channels- Settingds.
But by doing this, you also will no longer recieve new coordinates for HZ.
But again, this is MAY BE, as I don't really know what I'm talking about here I don't have this problem to play with.
i too have HZDisplayDataSMP popping up as the active app after waking up. most annoying, though pressing OK or red phone button gets rid of it. still, as i said, annoying. would like to know if there's some way to disable it being displayed, without turning off the "Broadcast Channels"-enabled option, as the HZ app seems to receive and use these broadcasts to enable the HZ display. well, that's my experience, anyways...
so, in short, anyone know how to hide an app from being displayed? or maybe forcing it to always run in the background?
I couldn’t find any threads on changing the starting day of the week to be a Saturday that is shown in the calendar.
Changing registry, tweak or any other way to accomplish this.
Your help is really really appreciated!!
Apparently, one can use SSaMPa (or however the program is called) with a switch (-ew [for weekly view] iirc) to get this done. Use search again, I know this info has come by on the board...

You can do that in PIM options...
Open Calendar => Menu => Tools => Options =>1st week day => you have only choice between Sunday and Monday

Apologies, I should have mentioned that I wanted the start to be a Saturday.
I know the first place to look is Calendar Options . I know you mean well but I am not that stupid
But thanks anyway.
Go into Settings, Regional Settings and change it to US, or something.
I found that after changing it to my Country (Romania, Europe) it automatically changed date to have the day/month/year (as expected here) and also the first day of the callendar, it's not mentioned there but it actually changed it.
Please test it out.

I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn’t work. I changed it (and did a soft reset) from UAE to USA to UK to Zimbabwe (Hey don’t laugh) and it changed everything except the start day.
If what you suggested is true; I would guess (and bet) that something can be changed in the registry or something. And this is of course something for xda wizards to figure out.
If anyone knows a better place in the forum to put this question please do, you have my blessing.
Thanks for your input
try accesing your Calender from the Today screen.
Right bottom / Menu /Tools/Option anf than secodn option first day of week.
Now, this might work.
Unfrotunate from my weak expereience, settign it up here (called from the Today screen) is somehow different from the callendar (Start/callendar), no idea why.
please test it.
I also need my calendar to start the week on Saturday. Could someone please help me with a registry edit or something to allow the default windows calendar to start the week on Saturday.
Thanks in advance.
Hello all,
I am a year-long htc blackstone user, flashing miri roms etc, a heavy user.
So I bought this week my wife the touch2 (mega). Now I have some issues with this one. For me these would not be that much of a problem - I am fluent with stopping data connections - but we are talking about not such a fluent user now...
I already installed the owner info patch.
Apparently we live that far in countryside, that the home page weather does not work. Google location services is configured, google maps finds our location - but weather not. No location at all, just tells that the weather data is not available.
Second thing... no hdtweak or kaisertweak for that yet? I'd like to configure the internet (gprs/3g) to deactivate automatically when not in use. This is not found in the settings anywhere. Using NoData or such is just not practical. The stopping data connection would be to save battery.
Third.. sense tabs. In the settings there is no possibility to change the order of the tabs :-O
So, the first thoughts...
abe
touch2
I too, recieved the touch2 3 days ago. Need to sort out how to send sms in groups, like my old nokia n95 this could be done without any problems. The weather updates are costing me network charge, beware! Been searching the net for this sms software and most are not what i am looking for.. Anyone out there to help? Would reflashing the phone rom with a custom one work? As the phone is locked to t-mobile I would like to dismiss the logo start up's and the t-mobile web settings. Help anyone.. Please. Thanks You.
For the wather map to work, you must enable the location services that can be found in the settings.
needless to say, I have activated the location services.
it just must be the fact that we are living so far in the countryside.
I have on my blackstone a newer rom and manila - the weather shows perfectly our home location, a small village of 3500 inhabitants.
I wonder if that version on touch2 would work in a city.
abe
hey guys i aint a touch 2 owner yet....
but to answer one of your questions anssibragge
there is a thread made up for touchFlo2d 2.0 themes and there is an app that has the ability to change tabs around/ disable tabs
this may work for your touch 2
its made by Twolf and i think its called ReFlush but i could be wrong
the thread is in the windows themes under dev/hacking
hope this helps.....

Hey all. I just picked up my 3rd, yes 3rd Touch HD, im a bit rough on them, but i got this one second hand and it was most likely purchased in HKG.
It has updated manila to 2.5 as it might be upto 18 months old.
Anyway, i cant seen to "unlock" the local time zone from hkg, I live in new zealand. Can someone hook me up? if its a registry keyy ill need step by step instructions sorry.
Cheers
Sorry just read the post about not starting new threads.
However i did search a couple times and couldn't find the solution.
Someone point me in the right direction.
The phone is unlocked as in it works here in newzealand and i can change the ttime to my location, but all my texts come through dated and timed as if i recieved them in hkg.
Do i need to install a newzealand ROM?
Im also finding bugs with it as in predictive text wont learn new words, is this a rom issue? i've RTFW but im just not sure what course of action i should take.
Have you tried Start>Settings>Clocks & Alarms? That's usually how'd you'd change it. You can always try and do a hard reset since during initial boot it asks the user for the time zone. If all fails, you can flash a different ROM
No, its 'greyed out' as in i cant change it, all my texts are coming through with strange times on them.
Will a hard reset loose my current ROM?
BUMP:
I just installed dutty's febuari blackstone rom and have the same issue. It is never asked and and I can't find any option to change it. Normally I wouldn't mind but it is causing some problems for my synchronisation settings.
Does anyone know how to change it?
I have a problem with the clock since the hours changed to summer time.
I try'd 3 diferent Roms now and all have the same problem, the clock delays 1 hour allways.
I set the correct time and sometime later or after a softreset the time delays 1 hour.
Another thing is that I can't mantain my correct time zone (London) that has the correct time for me. It allways changes to (Casablanca) that is 1 hour earlyer.
Please help.
i'm in the UK and i didn't do a thing on the phone when the summer time changed. It changed the time automatically. Running Leo v3 rom, btw
Am in uk aswell. Time changed automatically didnt have to do anything. Using the EnergyROM with Radio: 2.08.50.08_2.
Sorry not got any ideas, hope some1 can help you..
Just don't make any Portuguese City in the world clock your default city. Use "My Location" instead. That's what i do.
This ain't an UK problem it's Portuguese problem, the time zone / weather database file (WWE and other then the PT rom version) of Manila is wrong concerning the portuguese Time Zone, i forgot about the file name but you have to edit it with sqlite.
This just heppens with new Roms, since when the time changed my Rom changed well and automatic, but with new roms a have this problem.

I'm having the same problem. I'm in Porto and the "My location" sugestion doesn't fix the problem. HD2 always get 1 hour earlier. I could set my location to London but all the geographical integration is lost. For me the ROM is the default one that vodafone delivered (last htc pt stock rom).
Does anyone know what file should be edited to correct the problem as sugested above?
Thanks for your help
Try:
Start > Setting > Menu: All settings > Personal > Phone > GSM/UMTS > Time Synchronization > Get Settings > Tick: Automatic Change time zone and clock.
I had the above problem and this fixed it.
That is already set im my ROM

Go to the settings tab - Data Services - Internet Time Sync and untick
For now this is the only solution.

Thanks, I think that will solve the problem
I've unticked both settings refering time sync (GSM/UMTS and internet time sync) as suggested above and that doesn't fix the problem when syncing with PC using mobile device center v6.1
It's beggining to be of major concern for me as I need frequently to check the time in different countries for professional reasons and even if I don't sync with PC and I force the clock to the right time, some of the other cities would be wrong (not all with +1h).
HTC should fix this bug.
jpl69 can you please tell me more about the file that should contain the "world time table"?
me too
I'm in Portugal too and last Monday I lost a €12000 contract due to being 1 hour late for the appointment. I had this problem last year too and haven't yet found a solution. I'm quite sickened by it. The Microsoft "patch" doesn't work either. I'm sure these settings must be in the registry somewhere?
problem solved with Weather City Editor
I´m in Portugal too.
I think the bug is on Manila 2.1 and 2.5, the time zone for Portugal is incorrectly Casablanca when it should be London.
Corrected it with Weather City Editor that ca be found here at xda.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141
It took me 2 minutes to fix all the 16 cities (Ponta Delgada was the only one already correct) and after a while even "My location" comes ok.
Hope this helps.
