UK peeps it's time to tweek your CLOCK

I don't know, I've had a T68i, a K700i and now a K750i which have all handled the timezone thing fine on Vodafone.

My landy's clock doesn't auto-change, no surprises there, just trying to get an obligatory landy reference in!

It is in the EU now but not that long ago mainland EU and the UK were different. Australia is a week later this year, something to do with the God Sport I believe? The US is different again...

It's not something that is safe to hard code, there was a "windows update" to handle Australias shift this year. Not aware of a similar facility for phones and why bother the time is available from the network.

Is a T610 pre or post T68i? My phone didn't and it is set to "auto time zone".

*my* Landy doesn't *have* a clock.

The stereo in the minibus manages to pick up the time off the RDS network. mind you one day at about 9 in the morning it suddenyl changed to 17:32, then about 10 minutes later changed back to 9:15... I reckon someone typed something into the wrong box :-)

Neither did mine, I gaffer-taped a clockwork alarm clock to the dash, the bells ding a bit over the bumps but it works OK. Naah not really, I bought the proper dashboard clock for it then just bodged the wiring and put it all back together, then found out there's a proper wiring loom add-on for the clock.

Stereo? Luxury! I took mine out of the landy, can't hear the f***er! The CD player turned into an orbital sander after just a few trips in the summer.

Yep, RDS is only as accurate as the station's server clock, as a time geek I think there's no excuse for getting it wrong but then I worked in the commercial radio industry for a while, it can be a tad chaotic.

Even worse is the use of RDS traffic announcement functions to switch radio over to adverts and station IDs before traffic alerts and then not switching it back until a few minutes after the traffic alerts have ended.

Especially when your "TA" button is dead and you can't turn the bloody thing off!
