all that DST "patchwork" axim still hour behind

brngrl86 · 03-13-07, 05:53 PM

axim clock still jumps back to original time before DST. I can change the time manually, but if/when it syncs it just reverts to original time and then all appointments in Outlook will jump an hour...................

I SO NEED HELP, PLEASE!

Did you download the DST patch for Outlook? plus they had to be done in order - update the PC first, then Outlook, then the Axim.

I believe I did do them in order. It's been a long frustrating 2 days...so I'm not totally sure. I know that I did the Outlook and then Axim updates. If I didn't do the PC, can I still do it? Or is it just a lost cause?

I also found that my third-party alarm software (PocketClock) was bogarting the clock so when I had it all setup properly and then opened PocketClock, it encouraged me to change my timezone which proceeded to hose the DST again.

I ended up hard resetting and starting from scratch on the Axim, and though I miss it dearly (it was my alarm clock), PocketClock is no longer on my Axim.

I'm having a problem with this too...but I don't use outlook and my PC automatically adjusted itself to the correct time, but my Axim keeps reverting :(

Where to I get this "fix" anyway?

I am having a problem too getting my Axim to update. I followed ALL the steps per Microsoft in order. Still an hour off on my Axim. Can anyone help?

Same here. Updated PC and outlook first and then the axim. Clock keeps dropping back an hour.

If you have your PC set up for Windows Automatic Updates, then your PC computer was updated in February 2007 for the DST patch, you don't need to do it again. If not, then it is not too late to run the patch.

Here is the Microsoft link for all three patches for those that run windows mobile devices, and again they need to be taken in exact order described. The last important thing is after the Axim is updated with the patch, you need to go into your clock setting on the Axim and switch your Time Zone to any other Time Zone, click save then set it back to your correct Time Zone and click Save. Not sure why but it is a vital step.

Also, make sure that the PC and PPC are both set to the same timezone. What gets synced is the GMT, so having them in different TZs will lead to hours and jumping.

I used the link, again. I went through all the steps, AGAIN, and changed the time zone...THE TIME ZONES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME. STILL REVERTS BACK AN HOUR AFTER SYNCING. Only thing that's keep things accurate is changing the time zone to Atlantic...that makes it 10:00am Eastern time.......... I feel it's a lost cause...

We have seen success with this issue by doing a Soft Reset on the Axim at this point. If you do the soft reset and it come back an hour behind still, go back into the clock setting, switch your Time Zone to any other Time Zone, click Save. Then, when go back into the clock, switch it back to your Time Zone AND set it to the correct time! Then Save. Sync it with the computer and the correct time should stay.

what happens if i just leave it, will it be an hour behind forever?

Yes. but not every thing. The items before the update will be on time. The items after the update will be an hour behind in Pocket Breeze and all allarms will ring an hour late. Fun. Just do the flip flop of the time zones and you will be fine.

I just did what you suggested and STILL TIL NO AVAIL, it reverted back an hour. The time will stay current until I sync and then, BAM! back an hour. I just can't figure it all...every step... was done.
