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.

Is your computer set to local time as UTC -9, which would be Alaska time? ----- Original Message ----- From: Linz To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2011 11:59 AM Subject: [BitPim-user] Date/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?
