Re: [BitPim-user] Date/time discrepancy with Samsung SCH-A950

The Bitpim project seems to be dead, but one possibility is the local time setting of your computer.  Is your computer set to local time as UTC -9, which would be Alaska time?

        I recently had to examine an SCH-A950.  I first used a Cellebrite UFED to extract the Call Log and Contact entries and used BitPim to extract the Call Log and SMS entries.  Since the Call Log was common to both, I compared the date/time stamps to validate the data extracted by each tool.  I found a difference of exactly 5 hours.  My first thought was that BitPim was reporting in local time and the UFED was reporting in UTC.  I conpared the time stamps to what was presented on the phone's display and found the UFED was actually reporting the correct local time and BitPim was reporting 5 hours earlier than local time (UTC - 9:00).

        I checked the hex for the reported time and found it to convert to UTC (as I expected).

        Why would BitPim subtact 9 hours from the stored UTC time stamp?

        Thanx
