Android :: Emulator - Set Timezone To Alaska
Apr 23, 2010I meet a strange timezone issue when I debug my application on Android_2.1 SDK. I first start the emulator and set timezone to "Alaska" in Settings. I also search the internet and find Alaska is in GMT-9:00. If DST applied, it should be GMT-8:00. Then write some sample code like: TimeZone.getDefault().getOffset(0); // returns 36000000 (= 10 * 60 * 60 * 1000) TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-9:00").getOffset(0); // returns 32400000 (= 9 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
How does this happen? Why this same API getOffset with same parameter returns different value? You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Android :: Get Phone Correct Timezone
Nov 14, 2010I am trying to get phone's correct timezone. I tried String newTzID = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeZone().getID(); This is returning "America/Atikokan". But my phone's timezone is EST. Both of these have an offset of GMT -5 hours. But I actually need to differentiate between EST and "America/Atikokan", since "America/ Atikokan" doesn't have day light savings time. Is there a way to get the correct id?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Utc Timezone - Translate Database Table
Jan 22, 2009to dear all Android developers, I need to know the UTC bias of my phone to correct the UTC time information I got from a site. I have read earlier posts and already found the solution to get TimeZone information from the "System.currentTimeMillis();" method. However, I need to translate the TimeZone (as like, "Asia/Taipei") to the UTC bias that it has to be (as like, "UTC+8" or other formats). Does anyone know the actual API solution? I have surveyed android.util.TimeUtils and found nothing to do this. The worst solution may I have is to build a "TimeZone/UTC" database table to translate this..
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Short Timezone Name As Opposed Four Letter
May 10, 2010I've written an Android app that needs the short timezone name in which the handset is currently located.I'm using the following code: String timeZone = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeZone().getDisplayName(false, TimeZone.SHORT);When running in Chicago, this returns "CST". In New York, "EST". In Strasbourg, France, it's returning "HNEC" (Heure Normale de l'Europe Centrale in French).
The timezone in this location is referred to by some as "Central European Time" (see Wikipedia's Time zones of Europe).I'm passing timeZone off to a third-party system which very much insists on getting "CET" (not "HNEC"). Is there an API call I can rely on to return the three-letter (and, I think, "more modern") short timezone name? As my code runs in more and more locations, I'm guessing this problem is going to occur elsewhere, too. I'm really hoping to avoid maintaining some sort of map of three-letter to four-letter short timezone names.

General :: Automatic Timezone Incorrect On WiFi?
Apr 22, 2014I'm testing a hybrid phone/scanner that came from China and I noticed the time was wrong on it (we don't use the phone part), so I went into time settings and it was set to automatic date & time and timezone, but when I turned off automatic timezone it said it was still China even though I've been using the device for a week. When I look up our IP on the web it says it's in the US in the correct state so I don't understand why Android is not locating the phone by IP.
I've noticed on other Android phones the time randomly goes incorrect when off cell service (like on my old Droid 2 or Galaxy Tab which I keep the cell service off for), so this appears to be a bug in Android. Is there a way I can smack the phone so it does it automatically or do I always have to expect Google not to do this right and make me have to manually set the timezone (and sometimes the time)?
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Different Timezone Can't Answer 24 Hours
Aug 9, 2010the different timezones you cannot always answer in 24 hours, but atm I am really asking myself in which timezone do you actually live? Is it in a parallel universe where the time lasts forever? That would definitively explain why you only post 1 answer in a week. OK answer might be the wrong word, you sum up the obvious. So Jeff plz tell me that I am right otherwise you should perhaps rethink if you are the right person for this job.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHTC Desire :: Incorrect Timezone - Network Keeping Changing
Nov 23, 2010I have been lurking for a few months now but have finally registered as i have an issue i just cant figure out. Me and the wife both have a Desire. When the time is set to automatically update from the network it keeps changing to GMT -8 Las Vegas time. it even says Las Vegas in the current clock.(and i cant delete it We have never manually changed the clock to Vegas time. The freaky thing is that we used to live in Las Vegas, BUT we didn't get our Desire's until moving back to the UK. I have made sure all my router, modem and PC settings are all GMT UK Time. the only thing that i can think is it is Gmail doing it as we made our Gmail account whilst in Las Vegas. its very annoying as when it changes to Vegas time obviously all our alarms and calender entries go "pete tong".
Also if i set the clock to manual it loses time pretty quickly as i left the wifes on auto and mine manual and within a few days mine had dropped 2 or 3 mins. We have the same gmail account synced to both phones. we also use Launcher Pro I thnk that is all the info i have for now.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Missing Timezone From Android
Sep 27, 2009The timezone for New Caledonia is missing from android. It is GMT +11 with NO daylight saving time. Android auto-detects me in NewCaledonia on my Hero but automatically uses Magadan (GMT+11) and applies +1 hour of daylight saving time to it, so, it shows the wrong time... If I manually set the time back one hour, incoming SMS time is wrong and I have a problem of time with google calendar sync too. I had a look to Donut using SDK 1.6: it still has a problem with missing NewCaledonia timezone. So I went to android 1.6-rc1 source folder in /development/tools/ zoneinfo and found what seems to be a 2008h version. I ran the generate script and got the two files: zoneinfo.dat and zoneinfo.

BUT I created and saved a map on the PC expecting to be able to see it on my phone, but it didn't happen.
