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

[Linz <li...@ya...>]

Thanx for the response John.  All my stuff is set to eastern time.  This seems to be more of an issue where BitPim is incorrectly parsing the date/time - at least for this particular phone.  I manually parsed the time, using a file system dump from the phone, with MFI's Hex Assistant and got the correct date/time in UTC.  I was wondering if there was a bug in BitPim that might account for this.

Thanx

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?

  discrepancy with Samsung SCH-A950
  

  
    
    
      
        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
