Time Auto Update

Every cell phone I have owned for the past several years updates the time automatically when you cross time zones. My BB 8220 isn't doing that. I have looked and changed some settings without luck.
Will it do it or is BB in the dark ages as far as updating time?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Rob

Hi,
Believe it or don't..The dark ages was the correct answer!
Thanks,

Nokia S60v3 time auto update bug

**NOTE: You will ONLY see this bug if you live in USA where there is no DST**
I live in Phoenix (Arizona) and there is no day light savings here i.e. MST+NO DST or they also call it "Arizona time (GMT-7hr)".
When i bought N95-1 in April 2007, i had set the phone to auto update based on network time. It would always report +1 hour of my actual time i.e. 7:00PM when the actual time was 6:00PM. I did all sorts of debugging (changing sims,trying AT&T vs T-mobile sims, firmware updates) but no success and i ended up disabling network time and set the time manually on my phone which is not nice if you travel between time zones. My current sim would report correct time on my wife's Treo-680 & Motorola Razor. Later i bought N95-3, same problem!
Then i was surprised to see my friend with Nokia N80 had exactly the same problem here in Phoenix so now at least i knew i was not doing something stupid.
I finally nailed it that it is bug in Nokia phone software because after first Sunday of November (11/04/2007) when DST end in USA and we revert to standard time the Auto update feature started reporting correct time and is working properly now. And i bet after the second Sunday in March (i.e. on 9 March 08) when DST kicks in, it would go bad again to +1 hour offset.
Nokia needs to fix this bug.

I do not believe this is network operator issue. if that were the case, then it should break other phones as well. As far as I've been able to determine, looking at other Nokia, Sony Ericsson, LG, and Motorola phones, this isn't the case. They all work fine. Actually my Nokia 6270 works fine on the SAME operator and on the SAME sim card!!
Another point is that i even tried other operator SIM cards into my N95 and it is always the Nokia and not the operator. I can also say this with confidence that the issue is not only N series but also the E series device that have S60v3 or higher
I am not the first to report this. Here is another thread and towards the end it seems Nokia knows about this. Which makes me even more mad!

Problem with Date & Time Auto Update

Hi everyone,
I have been experiencing a date & time issue with my MacBook Air. (I am running 10.5.5 with all the latest software updates except for iTunes 8). Here's what's going on:
Under the Date & Time preferences, whenever I try to check the box for "Set date & time automatically", the date and time do not update. I thought Norton might be the culprit in this case, but I have thoroughly uninstalled it, and this problem still persists. (I am actually borrowing this laptop for work, so I don't know if someone else possibly did something weird to it before I started using it. As far as I can remember, I've always had this problem -- the automatic setting has never worked.)
I am connected to the internet when I do this, and I already have my time zone selected. Am I missing something obvious here?
I apologize if this issue has been brought up before, but I did a lot of searching and couldn't find anything. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you.

whenever I try to check the box for "Set date & time automatically"
You check it and the time does not update, or you try to check it and it doesn't show a little tick mark?
Try it with Console.app open and see does it report any errors. Try changing the time server.

Auto update of time when changing time zones - PLEASE help.

I travel for a living and I can't figure out how to get this 8310 to auto update the time when I fly from one time zone to another. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you so much in advance!

I'm sorry to inform you that the blackberry does not have a feature like this yet. You can read this FAQ and it will give you some tips though.
Why doesn't my time update correctly when I change Time Zones? - BlackBerryFAQ.com
You would need to set that manually and enter the meeting times in accordingly.
Sorry!

Auto update of time mode? Does this ever work?

Hi,
I have just received a Nokia 6700 and previously had the Nokia 6300 and noticed on both that the Auto update of time just doesn't do anything? I am based in the UK on the Orange network. Even when I travel abroad and with this setting enabled, my phone time is not updated automatically? My current settings is with this off, zone set to GMT and daylight saving set to +1. I think these settings are protected when auto time is switched on.
Is this something that Orange needs to enable or assuming I have a data connection, does it just sync with one of the internet time servers (as PC's have done for years).

It only works if the network supports it. It's a feature that has been in many phones from many manufacturers for years, but to most people it is useless.
I'm not sure if many networks actually bother with this feature. I'm fairly certain that none of the UK networks support it but not sure about t-mobile.
There is no way to sync the time with a server on a standard phone like the 6700. For that feature you would need a smartphone and an extra bit of free software.

Auto update of time and date

In my Lumia 625 auto update of time and date is not working properly. It's sowing different form my time zone. Anybody pls help me

Which network operator do you use, in which country?

Firefox auto-updated to 3.6.9 last night and now it crashes every time I open the browser, even in safe mode.

Firefox auto-updated to 3.6.9 last night and now it crashes every time I open the browser, even in safe mode.

Hi there,
You could try performing a clean installation: [[Knowledge Base Article]] :
Some Firefox issues can be resolved by downloading a new Firefox installer from Mozilla.com, then closing Firefox, deleting the Firefox application folder (program files) and reinstalling Firefox. If this does not help, or if you would rather completely remove Firefox and start over instead of completing all the troubleshooting steps, follow these steps:
1. Download the latest official version of Firefox from Mozilla.com.
* You should avoid unofficial download sites that bundle Firefox with other software such as the Google Toolbar.
2. If you wish to retain your current profile, you should make a backup copy of it. See Backing up your information for instructions.
3. Uninstall Firefox and make sure you remove the Firefox application (program) folder and your Firefox personal data (user data and settings) - see Uninstalling Firefox for instructions.
4. Reinstall Firefox - see Installing Firefox for instructions.
5. When Firefox is started for the first time, the Import Wizard will appear and a new profile will be created.
6. Verify that the issue no longer appears.
7. If you made a backup of your old profile and wish to restore your old information, see Recovering important data from an old profile. For troubleshooting purposes, only copy the files corresponding to your bookmarks and saved passwords.
8. Reinstall your extensions and themes one by one to determine if any specific one is causing the issue.

How do I stop auto update of date/time

Hi,
I'm starting to despair, a while ago I stupidly clicked on auto update/time on a letter I was working on, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But now whenever I open any letter the date is automatically updated which is a major problem as I am losing the references to when I actually wrote and therefore sent these letters. I'm too scared to open letters now because I'll lose this important piece of information.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Nathalie

Next time, don't use the Pages 's insert date_time feature.
Use the one delivered in the free WordService from Devon Technologies.
It always inserts a fixed date_time.
But I have wondering about your problem.
The Pages User Guide states:
• To add and format the date and time, place the insertion point where you want the value to appear, and then choose Insert > Date & Time.
To change the date and time format, Control-click the date and time value, choose Edit Date & Time, and then choose a date and time format from the pop-up menu. *If you want the document to always show the current date and time, select “Automatically update on open.”*
Which, if I understand well means that the default setting is that the inserted date_time is a frozen (fixed) one.

Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff!

Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up real fast and carries on going till it uses up all there is left. Most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff but not just neccessarily then! I find out it's happened when there's been an update after i restart and an extra webpage comes up with the particular addon/plugin/ff update. I have to restart most of time because nothing sorts it out. I'm using windows xp with the latest update of ff 13.0.1 it's not this version because it's been happening for a while. And it never started when i added a particular addon or plugin or when i added a new app to my pc either. Any idea as to what this may be or how i'd sort it out?
Cheers

Maybe disable hardware acceleration? This article should help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram

Entourage vanished when I auto-updated my macbook. time machine rescue me?

I am using a macbook 2.4 intel core duo. 10.5.8 (haven't updated to snow leopard yet).
I hit auto update and... my entourage program vanished from the computer. Not a trace.
I have my main identity backed up in time machine.
And... I can not find the original disk for Office (I find this to be an important and frustrating detail--I paid $199 for the educator version of Office! I am a legit paying customer.
Can anyone give me some advice as to what to do?
It would annoy me to no end to buy another copy of office... but I would spend 200 to get entourage back on track. i need those old emails.
My next question involves how to use time machine in this matter: I have never had to back up an entire application. And, re time machine, i have never actually used it. I don't want to synch my computer to the version it was a week ago when it happened... don't quite grasp my options.
many thanks in advance for any insight.

Time zone auto update failed

hello,
I have a BB Passport and recently I was in a business trip in Germany. I noticed that my clock is not updating according the new time zone. All my time/date settings are on automatic - the time zone update and also the time/date set.
I rebooted my phone, I changed the time settings on manual, and again on auto... nothing happened. I had to change the time zone manually in order to have the right time displayed.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Are you sure the issue is not with the network?
If you are sure it is not the network, next easiest thing you can do is a soft reset. See http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02141
Next step if needed is a security wipe. Back up first. Test before doing a restore.
If nothing else works, do a clean OS install. Again, test before doing a restore. And as you restore and reinstall apps, test between each step.

I have moved to the country where my internet speed is slow. I am running some auto updates that keep timing out half way through. Can the time out be shut off to complete the update?

I'm not sure about that. But what you could try is to set the Update Preference to "Manual" and try updating at a time when the Network may not be as busy, like late at night or early in the morning.
Just an idea.

Auto-update of date and time on Lumia 800

I've recently had my Lumia 800 in for "repair" as the auto-update switch did not appear on the menu.
The phone has come back (from carphone warehouse) with OS version 7.10.8858.136 and Firmware 1750.0823.8858.12460, both of which seem more up-to-date than the versions currently listed as the most recent.
[How can that happen?]
The auto-update switch is still not available to me, and I am told that the "newer software does not support this function"
REALLY? Or are they just fobbing me off?

What network are you on ?
