Can't change home time zone

[DependableMan]

While I was in Canada last week, my lock screen displayed the wrong time zone for my home region. I tried to change it by going to Settings > Lock screen and AOD > Roaming clock, but I couldn't change my home time zone. Tapping on it did nothing. I COULD change my region, but I live in the United States, which contains multiple time zones. For some reason, it defaults to New York time. I go by Chicago time. How can I change this setting?

The time zone settings you're looking for should be under Settings > General Management > Date and time.

Here is a screenshot from my S23+.

Even after changing my settings to match yours, my home time zone is still listed as New York. Screenshot attached.

The only other thing I can think of would be to contact your carrier. I hope they're able to help you.

Try this!


Wipe Cache Partition.
Turn off phone.
While powered down, press power key and volume up button simultaneously until the phone vibrates. Let go of buttons. You will now be in the bootloader. Using Volume buttons for scrolling, power button for Yes.
Scroll down to Wipe Cache Partition. Press power, scroll to Yes, press power. Reboot press power key.

Just tried that. Still says my home time zone is New York.

What happens if you toggle off roaming click?

You can also try to take your SIM card out and put in back in.

Another user provided the solution. I had to tap Region and re-select United States, at which point I was prompted to select a different time zone.

Tap region, re-enter United States.. then after selecting it, you will be prompted to choose a time zone. Change to the preferred time zone and it fixes the home lock issue.
