Devices that support time change

All PocketPC devices
These devices fully support time change. If you travel to a different time zone, your device displays your events in that time zone and synchronizes data properly. You do not need to make any special configuration changes. Daylight Savings clock changes are supported.

Devices that do not support time change

All Nokia and Palm devices, Sony Ericsson P800 and P900

These devices do not support traveling across time zones. When you travel, you must view your events in your usual time zone. For example, if you live in New York and travel to Paris, an event scheduled for 3 p.m. New York time still appears as occurring at 3 p.m., even though in Paris it is 9 p.m. when the event occurs.

When traveling, do not attempt to change the time zone on these devices or on the Calendar server. You must keep both the device and server set to your regular time zone in order to synchronize. If you change the time zone on your device or on the server, do not synchronize.

These devices do support Daylight Savings clock changes.

Devices that partially support time change

Ericsson R520m, T39 and T68, Sony Ericsson T68i and T610/616/630

These devices do not fully support time zone or Daylight Savings change. The workarounds for this are documented here, but they are not simple and should only be done if absolutely necessary. You must synchronize the device, delete all Calendar data from the device, then do a full synchronization in the new time zone, or after the clock change.

Use the appropriate workaround for your device, as described in the following procedures.

Workaround for Ericsson R520m, T39 and T68, Sony Ericsson T68i and T610/616

Follow this procedure to synchronize data correctly in a different time zone or after a Daylight Savings clock change. These steps may differ slightly from model to model. You must start this procedure before you travel or before the time change occurs.

1. Synchronize your device before you travel, or before a Daylight Savings clock change occurs.
   
2. From the Organizer menu on your device, select Calendar , select Advanced , then select Delete all .
   
3. Select Yes to confirm. This will delete all Calendar data from your device and force a full synchronization the next time you synchronize.
   
4. After the Daylight Savings clock change has occurred, or after you have travelled to a different time zone, check that the time on the device is correct. If it is not, set the correct time.
   
5. If you are traveling, use an Oracle Calendar client to set your Calendar account to the new time zone.
   
6. From the Settings menu on your device, select Time and Date , then select Advanced .
   
7. Set the following options:
   
   • Time Zone : Select the correct time zone for your location; for example:
     • Central Time: GMT-6.00h
     • Eastern Time: GMT-5.00h
     • Most of Europe: GMT+1.00h
   • Daylight-saving : For most parts of North America, this should be set to 1h summertime . This depends on how Daylight Savings is observed in your geographic area.
     
   • Auto time zone : You must set this to Off .
     
8. Check once more that the time on the device is correct. If it is not, set the correct time.
   
9. Synchronize your device. A full synchronization occurs. Your events are set to the correct time.
   
10. If you are traveling, repeat this procedure when it is time to return, or when you leave for another time zone.
