Possible bug in PLATFORMINFO$("TIME") in WebOS

[msx]

I tried to know the time of the device using PLATFORMINFO$("TIME") and shows me the correct time in IOS, but not in WebOS, showing the time in time zone UTC instead of UTC+2, as I have it configured in my Pre 2.

Gernot, help me please.

Please, move to Bug Report section.

"TIME" should always return global time. Check the timezones set.
I tried to implement "LOCALTIME", but found no time, yet. (or did I?)

Works fine on TouchPad - my latest app uses it for something special...

That's not exactly. In my iPhone gives me the time in time zone GMT +2 but pre2 gives me time in GMT.

If as you say would be the two in GMT.

[Ian Price]

Is your Pre using Network time? That might be the reason. I switched mine off and both Pre and TouchPad keep the proper time and give the same in "TIME"

I tried it both ways. It is very rare but I need to do more tests later to see what is happening.

I will comment with more certainty what is the problem.

Thank you.

I can confirm that there is disparity in results when running PLATFORMINFO$("TIME") in IOS, Windows, and WebOS. Why?. 

[msx]

But the strange thing is that if I change to a different time zone, the time changes, so it does take into consideration the time zone but do not do it correctly, I think.

Any solution?

Maybe it's not taking Daylight Savings Time (DST) into account?
(Or it IS, and your country doesn't use it?)
That would explain if it is always 1 hour off no matter what time zone you select.

[msx]

In Spain we have daylight savings, so we are in the time zone GMT +2 currently.

In winter GMT +1.

Any other ideas?

By the looks of it, there could be a bug in webOS...

Apparently it's not a BUG because it only happens to me. Surely they sent me the phone that was flawed from the factory.

Ask your money back!

A chappie from Palm did appear to state there is a bug in the time system : https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=12161

It actually also suggests a solution too
