Everytime I place the P800 in the docking cradle, the clock loses an hour and I have to keep manually setting it back to the correct time. Is this a common problem ? or do I need to alter some settings on the sync station software.
P800 Time problem
That's probably because your P800 automatically syncs the time with your PC. To avoid this you can right click on the little blue P800(when you are connected), click on "Properties..." and uncheck the box in the pop-up window.
You need to set your P800 to summertime. There's a "Summertime" button in the page that lets you change time.
The P800 lost an hour even though the computer host was the same time as the phone, however your suggestion sovled the problem, thanks.
