This forces the phone to re-read the registry. I confirmed this and tested it successfully. If you have used my patch, please change your timezone.

Bill at <a href="http://www.edgeblog.net/2007/daylight-saving-time-windows-mobile-fix/" rel="nofollow">edgeblog</a> has packaged up a CAB file using Microsoft's instructions to make your life a little easier. I have not installed this fix/patch so I can't tell you if it works. I am a little curious though, as I am with Cingular and I don't know if using this fix/patch will make a difference. For me Cingular auto updates my date/time on my phone, so I assume on March 11, 2007 they will simply update the time on my phone when my phone exchanges some data with the nearest tower.

And what are the chances that these companies are going to release the latest AKU for all the mobile phones to correct this update. Chances are very slim to none, because most of them have hacked in their ability to update the time from their cell towers. So they will not see a need for this "feature".

Western Australia is trailing Daylight Savings for the next 3 years. 2. As of Oct 2007, NSW, VIC and ACT will all align with TAS and everyone in the eastern seaboard (minus those in QLD, backwards dairy farming state), will commence and complelete DST on the same day, as opposed to a month apart. I am unaware what SA and NT are doing. DST info comes from the localisation and regional settings in the HKLM registry hive for win32, win64 and wince based devices. The .NET Framework or Compact Framework pulls it from there. Daylight savings is changing in Australia in two ways. 1. Western Australia is trailing Daylight Savings for the next 3 years. 2.

Ok, I knew this, really! Anywho, MS has the following articles related to changing the timezones on Windows Mobile and Windows CE devices respectively: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923953 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923027 Question now is, if those changes are implemented on the mobile devices will that make GMobileSync run correctly?

I would think this is stored in Windows and called by other applications, so as long as your version of windows has been patched to support the new dates everything should work fine.... For testing, MS offers something called TZEdit to change your systems timezone manually (required on older versions of Windows which are no longer supported and will not have a patch made available.) Check out this page from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.mspx Hth :) Is this specific to .NET or will the patch for Windows correct it?
