- My phone doesn't update the time when I fly to a new time zone. The date/time source is set to network and the network time is correct but the phone time is not updated. I have called cingular tech support and they gave me a new phone but it did not fix the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

The first time I traveled to CA with my new BB, I changed the TZ. Soon after, I needed to schedule a 4PM meeting at home with my staff for the next week. Soon after I updated my calendar I got a call ..... one of my staff was telling me they couildn't make a 6PM meeting. It took my a while to figure out what had happened.
So.... it's a tradeoff. Personally, I'm fine with TZ staying set.05-06-07 08:46 PMLike 0 -

When you make a meeting request for a different time zone, you must set it wthin the meeting itself. there is a place for TZ that you can modify there!11-13-07 09:12 PMLike 0 - That is exactly how it is done!

- I understand the concern here, but I've always seen the BB to be more like a computer rather than a phone. When I consider this, my laptop clock has to be manually changed as well. As for setting appointments when you're out of your time zone. You have to set the time zone while you're adding the appointment. It should be fine if you do it this way. It worked fine for me fine for me last month when I drove from CA to FL.03-16-08 06:30 PMLike 0
- Add me to those who know that the lack of time zone updating is total idiocy.
I travel for a living, but I don't do meetings, etc. My 5-year-old flip phone knew how to do this, and my gmail account does this, so my emails won't be messed up by it.
I did research the phone quite a bit before getting it, but since this is a simple function I've always had, I missed it, but I still would have picked the same phone, so research is not the problem. It's just a STUPID ANNOYANCE, and blackberry should fix it ASAP! With all the programming that goes into these phones, to not have this as an option is beyond ridiculous.05-31-09 02:09 PMLike 0 - I coded this app the other week for exactly this problem.
TimeZone for BlackBerry
if anyone uses it, let me know. I think it will only work on OS 4.6+ (I have a bold), so I'm not sure if this will help you guys.
I'll see about downloading a simulator for the 8100, and if there is interest i'll code it to work with that..Last edited by footose; 06-01-09 at 09:52 AM.

I made sure the appt details correctly show ET, but on the day view, they show up an hour earlier. Its like my BB still thinks its still in CT zone. Help! How to I fix?

What also bothers me is that the 9700 comes with the option to update time zone automatically and to download images automatically, and even when you checked it's simply doesn't do it. It's misleading!01-16-10 07:46 AMLike 0 - jeffhRetired ModeratorI travelled from ET to CT and just returned. But now that I'm back, the appointments I make all show up 1 hr off.

THE ANSWER IS THAT YES YOU SET TIME AND DATE THRU THE SET-UP WIZARD. YOU YOUR TIME ZONE. SET PHONE TO BE AUTO UP DATED. ONCE YOU SET THOSE OPTION YOUR TIME IS STILL GOING TO BE WRONG UNTIL YOU PUT YOUR PHONE ON THE CHARGER AND YOUR SCREEN IS IN THE CHARGE MODE WHERE THE TIME AND DATE APPEARS. HIT THE MENU KEY. GO TO SET TIME AND THERE YOU WILL SEE THE DEVICE TIME, TIME ZONE SETTING AND NETWORK TIME. SET IT THERE AND SAVE. GO BACK IN TO THE SAME CHARGE MODE AND HIT MENU AND CLICK ON OPTIONS IT SHOULD TAKE YOU TO CLOCK OPTIONS SET YOUR TIME ZONE THERE GO DOWN THE LIST OF OPTIONS AND SAVE. THAT'S HOW I FIX MY PROBLEM. ****THEY DONT TELL THAT YOU HAVE TO ADJUST THAT PROBLEM FROM THE CHARGE MODE SCREEN THE ONE THAT COMES UP WHEN YOU PLUG YOUR CHARGER IN.****** THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO ADJUST THE TIME IN SO MANY PLACES. I HOPE I EXPLAINED IT CORRECTLY.01-27-10 12:04 AMLike 0
