You can use TimeSync to synchronize the clock on your mobile device with atomic time servers on the Internet.
TimeSync uses a minimal amount of bandwidth and its rich, intuitive interface allows a user to select from a number of options including:

Automatic scheduled synchronization.
Automatic dialling if not connected.
Multiple time servers.
Synchronization whilst device is asleep.
Audio notification of a successful or failed synchronization.
Automatically runs in the background.
Supports worldwide international regions, time zones and daylight saving times.

System Requirements

Your mobile device will require Microsoft .NET Compact Framework as well as a connection to the Internet (such as GPRS or Wireless LAN).

Status Tab

This tab displays an overall view of your synchronization status. The top half of the screen displays your current status as follows:

Not Synchronized
Synchronizing
Synchronized

In addition, the following information is displayed in the lower half of the screen:

Last Sync - The last date and time that your clock was synchronized
Next Sync - The next date and time that a synchronization will occur
Progress Indicator - A graphical representation of your synchronization progress

Use the 'Sync!' button to trigger a synchronization manually. Use the 'Stop' button to cancel synchronization at any time.

Unregistered software will also display a nag message at the bottom of this screen showing how may days you have left to evaluate TimeSync before you will have to purchase a Registration key.

Sync Options

Automatically synchronize time - This option allows you to select whether TimeSync automatically attempts to synchronize your device clock. Without this option selected you will have to use either the 'Sync!' button or 'Sync!' menu option to manually synchronize your clock. This option is selected by default.
Sync Every - This option can be set to 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. This is the interval at which TimeSync will attempt to synchronize the clock on your mobile device. This option is set to 60 minutes by default.
Retries - This is the number of times that a failed sync will be retried per time server. This option is set to zero (0) by default.
Dial if not connected - This option allows TimeSync to dial (for example using GPRS) to establish a connection to the Internet before attempting to connect to a time server. This option is selected by default.

Advanced Options

Synchronize whilst device is sleeping - This option allows the device to wake itself up to perform a synchronization even when the device is 'sleeping'. This option is selected by default. Note: This option could cause you battery to drain faster than usual and will also causes the TimeSync screen to pop just before each scheduled synchronization.
Disable audio notifications - This option disables the two audio notifications for either a successful or failed synchronisation. This option is not selected by default.
Allow operating system to close program - This option allows the operating system to close the program without prompting you. This option is not selected by default.
Minimize program after soft-reset - This option causes TimeSync to minimize when starting after you have soft-reset your device. This option is not selected by default.
