I am seeing a time of 6/1/1999 at 12:00 PM when the GM is powered down and reset. I was wondering under what circumstances this occurs. I have had the unit for several months and it always was just a timezone behind.
thanks, Tom. |

The time was being set by activesync. Since we don't have a battery, the clock gets reset. |

Thanks for the update. Do I recally correctly that you plan to move to the AGX? That product includes a battery-backed real-time clock that will preserve the time and date through resets and power-cycling. |

We found out that although AGX has a battery backup. The timezone is always set up to "Pacific Time (-8)". Also we found out that .NET application some time couldn't change the timezone correctly. Do you notice this problem, or could you provide some application examples since may be we did something wrong. BTW, the AGX system we have has the Desktop UI turned off. (LauchCEShell=0)
Thanks. |

#TimeZone_managed_code
It is a bug that if you modify the TimeZone by P/Invoking SetTimezoneInformation, DateTime.Now() will no longer return the correct time. See this Microsoft Article for more information.
The Timezone can be persisted by saving your device registry, but keep in mind that if you only change the Timezone Bias by calling SetTimezoneInformation, the system Timezone itself will not be changed, and will not persist. You must modify the registry entries for the Timezone itself. |

So is it implied by the above dialog that I cannot preserve the Default Time Zone in the registry. I would like to change the default Time Zone to GMT if at all possible on a BitsyX. I have tried manually setting this as well as adding a script line to ADSLOAD.REG and have had no such luck.
Thanks,
Matt |

Matt, If you set the time zone in adsload.reg then in the adscopy.inf add '\windows\restart.exe' -e the timezone updates correctly. |
