HTC Daylight Savings Notification Message – Useless to Me

20091101_daylightsavings

The more I learn about the HTC Touch Pro2 I bought in August, the less I like it. I really dislike that HTC removed much needed hardware features like the navigation pad and various keyboard keys (OK, Start, Tab, etc.) it really reduces the usefulness of the TP2 compared to other Windows Mobile phones I’ve used that provided those features.

But, I mostly dislike the TouchFlo 3D features (which I’ve turned off) and other HTC modifications (which I can’t) to Windows Mobile. I noted this morning, for example, HTC’s message about the changing the clock from Daylight Savings to Standard Time. I suppose this is useful to many people. But, I imagine that people in my part of the world where we don’t observe Daylight Savings or the switch back to Standard Time may have been confused by the message. In fact, I had to make sure it had not “fallen back” and set the TP2’s time to what would be the wrong time for me (it did not, fortunately).

    I know this comment is late – but these things do pop up twice a year….

    That’s a Windows Mobile message – not an HTC message.

    If you choose the correct time zone, it should in most cases ignore non-DST areas.

    Also, I did like that it pointed it out to me the first time – as not every phone I had updated via the network in time to remind me of appointments or wake me up. 🙂
