Can anyone say Day Light Saving....

 

I think I was having the same issue. Like previous posters said, it has to do with daylight saving time that the phone takes into consideration in relation to the time you have set the phone to also.

So the best would be to set the correct time zone in your phone, eastern time (-4 because of dst) and once that is done, set your phone to the correct time (hours and minutes). You should be all set after that.

 

Just checked mine and all is good to go.

 

We have a winner.

Central is GMT -6 when off daylight savings, but right now is GMT -5. It's right.

 

I have recently got an HTC Incredible S and my time randomly jumps 10 mins ahead, which screws up my messages. Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help me.

 

common issue with htc phones this week:

Don’t Trust the Time on Your HTC Android Phone Today

 

I have this same issue even with the update to 2.3.3. those of you that don't sync with an exchange server may not have an issue but anytime I accept a meeting request on my phone it will be an hour off on my desktop once the phone syncs. same issue if I create a message and send it to someone.

I agree its compensation for daylight savings time but its not the correct way to do it.

I love my incredible 2 outside of this but its this kind of utter stupidity that makes me love/hate this SOB.

 

I am having very similar issues. With the exception that my time is off by 2 hours. If we have the same problem, it shouldn't be a daylight savings time issue. I am in the mountain time zone. Ironically, when my phone is off by the 2 hours, Google Maps reports my location in the eastern time zone, at a location that I traveled to when I first purchased the phone. Yes, the phone reports the erroneous location when I am actually in the mountain timezone. I have to run the "over the air programming" with verizon to fix the issue, EVERYDAY. Or should I say temporarily fix the issue.

Any ideas?

 

Here's my issue. Atlantic and Eastern are both showing as GMT -4:00 on my phone. Daylight savings or not, GMT DOES NOT CHANGE...

 

I just looked at my wife's Samsung Galaxy... and It's got the same issue but hers keeps the right time. Here's a funny one I noticed: Saskatchewan is in the time zone list as GMT -6:00 (which is correct) but below it on the list is central time, GMT -5:00. HELLO, SASKATCHEWAN FALLS UNDER CENTRAL TIME. Google employees were smoking something good when they developed Android...........

 

well I'm just glad I've found some people that recognize that changing the gmt to compensate for DLS is INCORRECT. if I hear one more Verizon tech tell me that adjustment is proper ill just lose it!

 

I have a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G slide (uses HTC android OS). Any time I open and change (or create) an Exchange Server calendar appointment from the phone, the appointment and any recurrences auto-change by 6 hours, the difference between Mountain and Greenwich Meridian Time. Nothing to do with Daylight Savings. I once saw a thread somewhere about this problem being recognized as a glitch in the android-to-Exchange Server interaction, which involves Greenwich Meridian Time with a failure to return to the original time. But I haven't seen any fixes or workarounds.

Can anyone help?
Thx...mytouchuser33

 

Okay. 1) whoever said Saskatchewan is on central time is WRONG. During the summer they're on mountain time (same time zone as Alberta). They change time zones because they don't change clocks (mountain in the summer, central in the winter). 2) Atlantic time is USUALLY 1 hour ahead of Eastern (with Newfoundland island being another extra half hour past Atlantic). So technically, Eastern should be -5, and Atlantic -4. So at this point I'm setting my tablet to central so at LEAST it'll keep the right time with my world clock to London, UK
