Hey group,
I bought some ZTE scores X500 phones to run a survey in Haiti. I have
developed the forms and one essential part of the forms is to take the date
and time without the operator having to manually input the information.
Yesterday I was trying to change the date and time to match the local time
in Haiti, but I wasn't able to do it. I even called the manufacturer of the
phones and they said that the time and date could not be changed manually
by the user. Does anyone know if I can download some type of clock app into
the phone and have the forms read the time from the downloaded app instead
of the time that is showed by the phone system?
Any leads would be greatly appreciated as I have to run this survey pretty
soon,
nabil
Just to be clear, do the phones do "automatic" time adjustment to the
network-provided time/date? You can find this checkbox under the phone
"settings->date and time". Make sure "automatic" is checked - this should
get you the network time. If the network time is wrong (which is
unlikely), then it should be off consistently across all phones in Haiti
and you could apply a correction after the fact. If you uncheck
"automatic" on the settings screen, you should be able to set the time
yourself.
