Possible solution for non autoupdating weather on HD2 - HD2 General

Hi all,
I have posted this into the older thread dealing with the weather a while ago, but since there are no replays, i guess it went unnoticed.
I have found a simple solution that finally made my HD2 update the weather automatically.
Previously it was set to update every 6 hours, but it newer did. I had to update it manually every time.
Then I have set it to update every hour, and now it works! (There is no noticeable change on the battery drain).
I have seen in other posts that there are people with the weather set to update every hour and it still doesn't work for them, but if this works on my HD2, than I guess that this tip will help to at least some other Leo owners hawing the same problem...

european time jumping 1 to 3 hrs ahead.

after last weeks time fiasco now im having another problem.
the time (uk) seems tokeep jumping forward one hour.
anyone else or is it just me?
had been fine all week after the domestic time change.
after resetting the clock a few times and a soft reset the time seems to be sticking......
im guessing this is something to do with the us time change......
either way, thankyou htc/america for getting me to work an hour early.

Same thing happend to me but I live in Sweden and got to work 2 hours early =)
well at least im not the only one
time is now 3hrs ahead lol
I am now back to Austria and f...... clock starts to jump again one hour forward.
Till yesterday have been in Cairo and it did not happen there for one week. Seems again a Europe problem
ok thanks guys,, changing thread title to european time.
I believe the solution (for me anyway) lies in the homedst and autodst reg entries...... haven't cracked it yet though.
got the same damn issue, i'm on GMT +2, the clock always jumps 2 hours ahead, though the internet syncro is off
happened to me, seems to be ok now taht i have turned off the auto update for daylight saving
Well I thought I'd cracked it........... 4hrs and all was well.............
then............ +4hrs a new personal best
Currently trying this reg tweak -
AndrewSh said:
The way to fix +1 hour is to disable NITZ service:
HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL
NITZEnable = 0
TZEnabledAfterReboot = 0
I am not sure that the second value exists in custom or European roms - but it exists in OperatorPKG of Leo TMOUS (in my case).
Disabling NITZ you are to set up the local time manually but after reboots you will get no **** with clock settings any more.

Its the same as the gsm/umts fix posted in other threads except via the registry for people who dont have that option under phone settings.......
One hour in and all is well.......
Also found these cabs floating around.
The one from Dutty is the reg tweak above in cab form.
The DST Update is apparently an official microsoft release.
I cant confirm that I just found it on the forums.
I have opened up the cab though and it is a series of reg tweaks relating to the various settings for different timezones. Nothing malicious
Hope that helps someone.
yep same here, time keeps fluctuating through the day! really annoying, hopefully this'll fix it!
European Time problem
Hello
Hello
I post in an other tread (3-11-10) work fine:
(thx Desmoniac)
For time problem.
I just found the solution in French on French forum :
"Dans : Paramètres / menu / plus / personnel / téléphone / fuseaux horaires ---> v Change automatiquement le fuseau horaire et l'heure."
I try to translate (tks Google)--> Settings / menu / more / personal / phone / time zone ---> v Automatically changes the time zone and time Parametre
It's strange, but all other settings I try don't work.
This setting work (for this time)
@+
Another one with the problem in the UK
When I started looking for a solution I was one hour ahead. Now it's two hours ahead.
Didn't have any problems at the summer change
Ive been using the reg tweak I posted a little while ago all afternoon and Im pretty confident thats its worked.... try duttys cab if your not keen on getting into the reg. It seems to be the most popular solution across the board........
I Had contact with HTC NL about this problem. HTC gives the solution that dimond_cbr gives.
Other problems and this one about the new ROM will be reported to the technical service. So they can make an update.
So as everyone can report this problem and others with the new rom, there will be soon an update.
i solved the same problem using bsb tools. bsb tools have an option"autoupdate time" and it must be unselected.
Same problem for me.
Reply from the support at HTC.
-------------------------------
This is not a fault with the device or its software, your device updates its time automatically from the internet and from your mobile provider.
Occasionally there is a difference in the time from the internet and the time from your provider which can cause the time to appear to be changing when it should be the same.
Normally this will resolve itself within a few days, however, this is very inconvenient so we recommend you disable any automatic time updates on your device.
WM 5, 6, 6.1, start settings, personal, phone, timezones and disable automatic time updates
WM6.5 old Sense: start, settings, all settings, persoanl, phone, UMTS services, automatic time updates
W>6.5 new sense, Settings -> Data services -> Time synchronization -> Untick all here
Sincerely,
Alex
HTC
The same thing here, Czech rep.
I've got the same problem (Poland here).
I've disabled that Time Sync option in the Phone settings AND the Internet Time Sync in the Services tab... HOWEVER, if I turn the Internet Time Sync back on, I still get +1 to the time. So, assuming the option in the services tab is working fine, then diamond_cb's solution doesn't work for me.
Now, it'd be really nice if I knew which server the phone is using to synch the time. Perhaps that server still hasn't figured out that we're on DST here in Poland...
I should also note I'm running the latest version of Energy ROM.
Just the same problem here (UK, T-Mobile, and various 6.5 ROMs) - I thought my HD2 was in need of repair! I installed 3 other ROMS thinking the problem had been caused by a ROM update that I had just completed.
I wonder if this is an HD2 general problem or relates only to some ROMS.
Many thanks to those ahead of me here - as ever XDA forum comes up trumps. I just hope that stopping all service provider and Internet time updates solves the problems.
Today I had the same problem again, with the time change...
What about set that the telephone will update the time for example every 15 minutes?

SOD - Sleep of death problem

I have a problem with Sleep of Death in WinMo. When i put my Mini in sleep mode and I'm trying to wake it up - nothing happens. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Hello, did you manage to resolve your problem? I just started having the same problem. Hard reset did not help. I am going to reload latest official ROM.
I wait for your expressions after reloading ROM. I've hard reseted WinMo and even in Android - nothing happens. I'll reflash ROM after work.
I reaolved the problem on my mini by disabling htc lockscreen.
if u search how to disable it u will find it
PeGie: I re-loaded the latest shipped ROM (1.36). It works (so far). I'll add additional software one by one to see if there is some relation.
bruce2728: Thank you for the tip. However, I cannot disable it. I am using the device also for company e-mail synchronizing by using ActiveSync. The company policies force to use the screen lock and I am not able to change it.

if you disable htc lockscreen in the registry it defaults to the windows 6.5 one, so you will still have a screen lock
edit: forget lockscreen it happened again after a few hours

Seems to work but only a temporary solution.
I think the driver that controls the power button goes to sleep when phone in standby
I'll investigate tonight and report back if I have any succes
Guys, thanks for help. I tried today to turn off lockscreen, but it doesen't worked. I'll try to figure it out tommorow. I'm waiting for results of investigation of Sleep of death.
I uninstalled CleanRAM first and hard reset and I have no more problem SOD
(last 10 hours is normal) I do not know if I will again have the same problem, now works ok
HTC HD mini German ROM: 1.41.166.1
I mentioned that hard reset did not help. That may not actually be true. When I did hard reset then I immediatelly installed all my applicatiosn and changed all the settings I used to change. Some of the software or config change may cause the problem. However, it is strange that it began just few days ago. I was using the device almost 1 year without this problem.
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I re-loaded the 1.36 ROM today. Then I left all settings at defaults. I did not install any application. It is working correctly so far. I'll add app/config change one by one to track the root cause. It will take some time of monitoring but I need to identify the cause. My suspect #1 is my company security policy. That would explain the problem appearance beginning.
I already had some problem caused probably by my company security settings.

and to me it's strange because the last few days, so to say I did not use mobile phones, nothing new installed or changed settings.
I have this problem too. Since yesterday - started from failing to wake me in the morning. It's kind of weird, all of the sudden phone stopped to work correctly.
At last (judging by more people having problem as well) is not the hardware problem.
Anyone has any idea: this problem was known before, or it started in last few days?
I'm also having this problem. I've changed nothing on my phone since months and since yesterday it has this problem. I'm thinking of sending it for repair and wait what they will say about it.
I was using my HD mini for 10 months without problems. But today I was faced the same problem as you mentioned. I removed my battery and left my HD mini without battery for ~30 minutes. Then I put battery back and turn on the phone and everything works now ...
It sound really weird that this problem is popping out suddenly to a number of users, while before there was no symptom.. it would seem as crazy as a time-driven issue or something..
Before reading here, my 1st step would have been removal of lockscreen, then 2nd one going back to clean original installation, but looks like those moves are not of help..
Fact is that the only new software i installed is bsb tweaks whose changes may affect registry and corrupt system configurations.. do you all guys have bsb installed?
Let's try to figure this out together, missed wakeup and calls are really annoying, as well as removing the battery to make a phone call...
No, I don't have bsb.
And people are using bsb without much problem for the last year.
Some kind of millennium bug? Someone programmed end of the world in our phones?

i don't have bsb on my mini
I do not have BSB installed (actually, I have idea what it is). My Mini is stable 16 hours after ROM reload. It survived the night! I believe hard-reset would help too. I'll re-test hard-reset if I see the problem again after some app/cfg install/change.
My next step is to install HTC updates:
PHO03869.exe
PHO03880.exe
_HTC HD Mini_PHO03611.exe
Then I will install/configure (not ordered):
home WiFi - hidden SSID, WPA-PSK, AES, ASCII key
CorePlayer v1.3.6 Build 7427 - directdraw output
TomTom 7.916.9192 QVGA with one map
ActiveSync - for company e-mail
IMAP e-mail - for Gmail account
turned off HTC Sense
turnd off weather (Application Data\HTC\databases -> deleted the file forecast_cache.db, restarted Sense (uncheck/check in today settings)) - this is sometimes required to stop the weather to be updated from web
system settings change - bluetooth, regional settings, etc.

[Q] Time Issues

Hi guys and girls,
Been using WP7 about a week now and one niggling little issue is doing my head in. Sorry if it has been mentioned before or is covered under some other issue, I did try a search and got nothing relating to it.
My issue; the clock on the phone keeps jumping to random times.
I am using YukiXDA latest build and could find nothing relating to this isue there either.
Would like to know if others have had this problem and what have they tried to remedy it?
Is it a ROM issue or is it a hardware issue?
Okay, An update
This is happening when I reboot the device.
Is there something in settings that I am missing, or is there a registry setting I can change?
do you have your "date & time" settings set automatically?
Yes

Yes time setting is automatic, even tried setting it in the registry.
It got that bad yesterday my phone reset itself to Jan 1980.
It sounds like the battery *may* be ****ed up, I have no idea about the htc hd2 (I've only had mine for a couple of months), but on my old phone(s), some of them have had that "time resetting" too, and the people at the tech support said the battery needed to be replaced.
Sorry for hijacking your thread:
I have a similar error with my phone (yukixda v4):
If I send myself a text message at say... 01:35... it's sent 01:35, but the one i recieve has the timestamp at 01:34... this is both with and without automatic time settings..
any ideas?

Truth is no matter what is causing this... TWO big issues for me when choosing a phone software set up.
The phone knows what freakin time and date itis
The phone nor the software on should destroy batteries
but thanks guys it really was fun to play with.
Don't use automatic, mine does the same if I set to automatic.
I thought it was something with Giffgaff as I would set automatic and the time would be right but later on during the day it would be some crazy time and date.
Set to manual and your clock will be fine
dunno about any of that but, i do know that if i boot in to MAGLDR is gets buggered up, doesnt matter if the time is manually set or auto set, it always buggers up, dont boot to it and all is good
, at least for me anyway
I'm having the same issues. Time and sometimes dates getting screwed up. Only started happening to me about a couple of weeks ago now. But it's frustrating at the least. I've switched mine to manual setting at the moment. Gonna see how it goes over the next week.
One thing though, it isn't happening to my wife's HD2. She is using the older version of WP7, I'm currently on Yuki's more recent NODO version...
as per my post above yours if you use magldr or even the bootloader it gets messed up, so dual booting droid may be a reason, or using bootloader / magldr to charge, other than that i dont have this issue
Not got dual-boot on my phone, neither do U boot to magldr to charge... But it's happening to my phone every few days so far. Today it was out by 28mins. I want to see if having it on manual time/date does any better...
i also have a problem with my hd2,
9 times out of 10 when i reboot the phone the time and date will be wrong with no pattern i can spot (started to do this out of the blue- no updates or new roms).
im currently running with a cooked win mo image and android on the sd card.
battery still has a respectable life although seems to run out quicker than it once did so i may purchase a new one. (the old one is just over 12 months old)
also my phone has started to freeze on pin request after receiving a text so im gonna try a new image too
if anyone else has seen problems like these and solved them drop a noobie a helping hand pleeeeaaasseeee....
It's not HD2 related
The same issue happens to me (phone jump approximately 36 hours foward randomly)
The phone was a LG Optimus 7 on official rom but never managed to fix this issue (automatic date or not)

[Q] apps auto update problem on mango 7.5....?

i have focus sim unlocked on att. i don't have any problem in installing apps from market place but i am not getting auto updates for apps. when i search for any app that i already installed , apps that are having updates it shows up and when i click update it updates. but itz painful and time consuming in searching for the updates that i already installed. do any one having similar issue? if there is a solution for this please leave a post. thanks in advance
I'm also having this issue and need help for a solution as well!!
The explanation is simple: the available bandwidth is the same while the number of phones and app checks has increased.
So, this not actually an issue, this happens. If you're mainly using 3G connection, this is to be expected.
3G connection is sensibly slower than WiFi and the number of apps has gone past 30k, thus some checks will time out.
It is recommended that you use USB/WiFi connection to sync from time to tome to prevent this happening very often.
I doubt that's the problem.
My girlfriend also has a Samsung Focus (updated to mango), and we have some of the same apps/games...when one has an update on her phone the marketplace tile alerts her, but mine doesn't show anything unless I search for the app in the market and check it, then it tells me there's an update, not sure what to do.
definitely a big issue... it has been a month since my marketplace has stopped showing any app update already. The updates are there when I manually search for it. It was fine for the past 9 months until now.
Weird thing is both my girlfriend and me are using unbranded Optimus 7, same carrier, same account/phone settings. but she keeps getting new update alert almost everyday, which I did not, even for the same apps.
Tried connected via 3d/wifi/usb all day long, tried guessing and uninstalling app which maybe conflicting, etc... none helped.
anybody else find a fix yet? please share
Still no luck...
Maybe its because I did the force update to Mango (my girlfriend didn't to that and hers works fine) so I have a bad feeling it was because of that, and no one seems to have a solution. I've reset my phone, re-installed apps, etc.

Clock Issue when changing Batteries

Hello guys,
I have this very annoying issue right now. I'm running Hyperdroid on my HD2 but I had the problem with all builds so far. I have two batteries for convinience and it seems like everytime I remove the battery and put the new one in the time on my phone changes.
Even more weird, it changes to the time and date when the battery was pulled out. So if I used the battery until yesterday 10am, the same time and date will appear again.
There is no difference beween using 'use network provided values' or not. I'm using China Mobile, but also had this problem while traveling in India and Iran. It just doesn't sync...
Does anybody know how to fix this? It's very annoying especially if you rely on the alarm clock or even when you get text messages and they go back in time and you wonder where they go.
ive had this happen to be, its a rom issue withthe rom you are using
i used to get around it by using a time sync program from the market
Okay, I'm going to try a different rom first. Thanks!
Got the same issue myself
Just check the time after putting the battery back in I imagine you don't pull the battery every day?
