<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">Hi all,<br /><br /> In the past 10 or so years, I've used every major mobile carrier's<br /> network, through both the carrier directly and often through various<br /> resellers, and one thing remains consistent. Every year on this<br /> weekend, when in Queensland, the network-provided time zone changes to<br /> UTC +11 (Sydney/Melbourne). This is very handy when roaming overseas,<br /> but not so handy when it changes your time zone when it shouldn't.<br /><br /> What's causing this? I know it's not NTP on the handset - I know a<br /> little about that, and it doesn't include time zone in packets, nor does<br /> it care about time zone when it adjusts the kernel. I assumed that this<br /> feature was implemented on the mobile network side, and the mobile base<br /> station broadcasts its time zone along with the other information<br /> handsets need to connect to it. But I don't know enough about the<br /> technical side of that to be sure.<br /><br /> The usual suggested remedy when I contact my carrier to complain that<br /> they're sending my phone the wrong time zone is to ask for the handset<br /> to rebooted. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. But why would<br /> it make any difference?<br /><br /> Can anyone shed any light on this?<br /><br /> Thanks in advance,<br /> Paul<br /><br /> _______________________________________________<br /> AusNOG mailing list<br /><a href="mailto:AusNOG@lists.ausnog.net" rel="noreferrer">AusNOG@lists.ausnog.net</a><br /><a href="http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog</a></div>
