Auto Timezone ..not Daylight Savings Time

[stronghard]

Hello, I'm a truck driver using Sprint Q. I cover all continental 48 states moving through multiple time zones.
My home time is set for central and on Auto, but it will not AUTO change zones as I travel like my past lower-teck phones. Is there a method to fix this? Thanks in advance

Thats a network thing.
When I flew to CA from NJ it automatically updated the time. Then again the phone was off. What happens if you reboot the phone every few hrs?

[stronghard]

@ Tony, I just updated PC Vision, rebooted to no avail. At the moment I'm in Indianapolis,In's eastern time zone. Phone still reflects central time zone.
Do you know of another setting besides Settings/alarm and clock?

[Tony Bag o Donuts]

do have the time to automatically get it from the network?
can you update roaming?
I don't know much about sprint

In the past, I had to turn the phone off and on again for the new time to pick up. Have you tried that?

[stronghard]

Yes, several times.

Daylight Savings Time PDA Software Updates


What is it:Daylight Savings Time software updates needed for select PDA devices.

Effective: Immediately

Details:Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 passed by the United States Congress, Daylight Saving Time (DST) will change back to standard time on November 4, 2007, instead of October 29th as originally scheduled. The majority of Sprint’s PDAs sold in 2007 include the new DST settings. However, Sprint PDA customers with the former DST settings will notice a 1 hour time difference until the device software is updated, the device time is manually changed, or until November 4th when the time changes back to standard time. After updated DST software is installed, future DST time changes will be corrected.

Instructions for addressing DST issues are posted on Microsoft.com, Sprint.com and each of the device manufacturer’s Web sites:
·Windows Mobile: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx
·Palm: http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/dst.html
·BlackBerry: http://www.blackberry.com/select/dst2007/
·Sprint.com: http://support.sprint.com/doc/sp10392.xml?id16=daylight_savings_time

Additional links allow customers to download the updates wirelessly from their devices’ web browsers:
·Windows Mobile OS: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/
Note: download file to device, find file, and click to install.
·Palm OS: http://palmone.r3h.net/downloads.palm.com/DSTUpdater.prc
Note: save file to Applications, go to Applications, and open file to install.
·BlackBerry OS: www.blackberry.com/dst2007 to download the appropriate patch automatically or go to Options-Date/Time and manually change time.

Thanks folks for your responses. However, I contacted Motorola and was told that there is no fix for my issue.
I still love the Q, I guess you have to give up a few minor things to move forward.
