Hi guys,

We have had a 8830 for a while at work and can't get this fixed. It seems that every month or so the time get unsynced by about 1 or 2 minutes and we have to resync it every time.

I know that there is a thread that talks about the time time not updating automatically through a timezone change, but there is none in my situation. Now the problem is when you have 100 people in a business that have meetings and that some of them go 4-5 months without any update of time you can have someone being 5-6 minutes fast and someone else 5-6 minutes fast or someone looking at the real time and someone looking at his BB ...

I have tried calling the ''advanced'' support we are entitled to and like I had thought the guy was clueless. So what I am looking for is a way to make the time either more accurate or the get it to sync automatically every so ofter either with network or BB server. If someone has any info to shar it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
NiK

I tend to 'update time' when I change time zone while traveling. That is probably why I keep good time on mine. I never notice it more than a minute off.

I recommend against setting DM to sync clocks, if that is what you are considering. I think it would be better to just 'update time' from the date/time menu in options, and do it periodically as a habit.

set the time to BlackBerry. i have found that it keeps much better time that way

I use the same but you still have to do the "Update Time" manually

Maybe I'm naive, as a newbie, but I totally don't get why the clocks should not be synched. As sophisticated as the thing is.

That's just the way it is. May not be a good answer, but in the bigger scheme of things it satisfies me.

On the blackberry vs network setting, I've done both and never saw a reason to prefer one over the other. I think I've had mine set to network now for a while.

You are not the first to wonder but it is simply the way it is and has been as long as I can remember and I been using Blackberry for a LONG time.

Maybe the new 9000 with ti new fancy OS will give you the option to have it sync the clock. It is not a big problem, I do it once a month and it seldom even changes the clock when I do.

Try to forgive the device for not doing everything you want as RIM could not make everyone happy. Embrace it for what it CAN do!

I know that I enjoy not having it automatically sync'd to the network time. At work the clocks are a couple minutes fast "No way to change them manually" ... So I have my Blackberry Sync'd to work time.
