Daylight Savings Time Patch [an error occurred while processing this directive] Introduction When you get a new Windows Mobile device, you expect that it is up to date with the latest patches. Well unfortunately that may not be true. Microsoft did not include the latest Daylight Savings Time update in Windows Mobile 6.5. Of course if you have an older Windows Mobile device (including Windows Mobile 5,0, 6.0, or 6.1) you need to install this daylight savings time patch as well. Impact of Failure to Patch If you fail to patch your device, you will see some peculiar issues. In particular you will notice that all new appointments will be off by an hour on your device. If you adjust the time on your device, you may notice that the time automatically changes back to the original time because Windows Mobile is able to set the time based on the cellular network's time. If you disable the time updates on your device, you will see that all appointments are off by an hour when you sync on your PC. Co-Requirements If you synchronize your Windows Mobile Device with your PC using ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, you need to ensure that you have the latest updates installed on your PC. The critical daylight savings time updates include the update for Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 as well as Outlook. If you are using Windows Update, you will not automatically get any Outlook patches. Consider switching to Microsoft update which updates all Microsoft applications installed on your PC. Installation When you install the daylight savings time patch on your Windows Mobile Device, don't forget to soft reset your device. If you don't then the new settings will not take effect.

If your calendar appointments are showing up as an hour earlier after March
14, this is because of Daylight Savings Time, as you have stated. The reason
why your calendar is changing the times of your appointments is because it
is viewing daylight savings time on the 14th as a time zone change. Which
means that after the 14th all of your appointments will spring ahead to the
correct time. However, if you would like to resolve this issue as of right
now you can follow these steps: Conclusion Once you have patched your PC and Windows Mobile device, Daylight Savings Time will be a non-event. [an error occurred while processing this directive] |
