Just as a side note, on a wm6 device I'm also having this same issue so I think it's pretty common. I have had to manually tweak the time, even after applying the DST patch. I wish we could get over this whole day light savings nonsense.:)

Hi Claude,
I am somewhat surprised that this is occurring, I know Rob during the last Keysoft release put in some fixes to address this very issue, but who knows. The main problem is the US congress's change to when Daylight savings occurs here in the USA and Canada. I am thinking that after the "normal" day for daylight savings has passed this issue would resolve itself (but for that 2-3 week period the time would be off by an hour).

Sorry about this folks, not much I can do, I tell Keysoft what the GMT time is from the GPS receiver and it is up to the BrailleNote to set its internal clock correctly. I guess I would make sure you have the latest version of Keysoft, and if you do and its still happening then I am at a loss, I guess try again in a few days when the originally scheduled DLS is soposto kick in (not sure exactly what day that would be) and that hopefully will resolve this issue.

Charles.
