Automatic Time change on the Q
Ok, so i just traveled from Eastern to Central time but my phone is still on Eastern time. Tried rebooting etc. but its seems like the phone is not syncing its time with the Verizon network. Also, i cannot see anywhere in the seeting where i can instruct the phone to automatically take time and date from the network. This is so biizarre that I have to manually change the time
Any advice?

I was planning to visit a friend in California one time, so I contacted VZW about it. They told me to dial *228 once i get to CA to update the time, roaming capabilities, etc.
I didn't visit my friend, so I never got to try it myself. See if it works and let us know.

WM5 smartphones don't get the time from Verizon; they update it from the computer with which they last sync'ed - when you switch time zones, you have to manually switch the hour setting. It's also a bummer because the time can be off whereas with a regular phone it's updated constantly.

I was in L.A. last month and had to manually change my time, whereas my wife's Treo 650 did it automatically. 😢

Hey guys,
Just as our laptops don't change time for us when we travel, neither will our Q's. We are now using mini computers to talk etc.. that use a computer (OS)Operating System. Our old phones used software based on wireless networking only. Hope this helps. Someone will come out with an auto time change soon. 🙂
