Windows Mobile Offers DST Fix
Why not automatic time adjustment?????????
And if computers are so advanced why do they become DISABLED over what the time and date is, big deal about what time/date is.
If computers can't function w/o the correct time/date then that's just pathetic!!!!

regular phones will. windows mobile software was written with daylight savings time but the gov't changed daylight savings time, so if the os was set to change and daylight savings time wasn't changed there would be no problem. next release of windows for mobile will adjust for this.
And the dat/time being wrong shouldn't handicap a computer!!!!!

Why can't any Windows Pocket PC read the time from the wireless network like any other cell phone!?!?!?!?
My thoughts, too.
I keep wondering if any of these sophisticated mobile phones such as the LG Prada!!! Will reach the U.S., probably not, interesting phone.
I'm really looking forward to later this year, this summer, and even later, I'm just really curious about the 2nd half of this year.
But more so 4g when AT&T launches MediaFlo equipped handsets.
So why not this?
Start > Settings > Phone > Services tab > Time Synchronization > Get settings > check the box, and hit "update now" button.
Stop whining! If you guys are seriously getting upset by this, and don't know how to change the time to network synchronization, then I don't think you should have a PDA in the first place.
Sorry about me sounding rude, but I'm tech support for a cell phone manufacturer, and I take calls form (stupid) customers all day. I expect a little more from people on Phone Scoop....
Let me ask you this though, lets say it really is as easy as you say, sure. Then why do they get all paranoid about computer chaos on the news when it comes to them being programmed wrong for date/time?
Does a computer really get handicapped that easily if it has the wrong time/date???

It is amazing how people can take something that is so simple, not even try, throw their hands in the air and "give up" as if they had tried.
All too often someone comes into my store asking how they delete their messages (voice mail). I have them dial into their mailbox with speakerphone on and a message plays, the mailbox ladies voice says "to delete press 7 etc etc" and the person looks at me with this blank, nobody is home, deer in headlights look. Of course I have to tell them to press 7. They don't even have the sense to listen...
It's all a problem of ignorance/laziness.
Yeah, like the original poster. I'm sure a SIMPLE google search would have given him the answer in the first, or second link. Also, did he HAVE to put 9 question marks?
People ARE lazy, and i have absolutely ZERO respect for someone who can't fend for themselves, even on the most basic of things. Such as change to time synchronization with the network....
If the time is wrong, then any alarms, alerts, scheduled items, will all go off at the wrong time.
/Settings/Services/Time Synchronization/Get Settings/Update Now
So not really sure why this patch is needed.
