Update Terminal Time Zone

Automatic Update via SIM Card

• In devices which Android version <12, please insert a SIM card into the terminal. Once connected to the network, the time zone will automatically update.

• In devices which Android version >=12, once connected to the network(including WIFI), the time zone will automatically update.

Manual Update

• Navigate to the Settings menu.

• For Q2/K2 terminals, click on the top right corner to view the full menu.

• Select 'Date & Time', then disable "Automatic time zone".

• Choose "Select time zone" to manually set your desired time zone.

Update via API

Use the provided snippet code to programmatically change the time zone.

    AlarmManager mAlarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    mAlarmManager.setTimeZone("Asia/Shanghai");

Include the permission '<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_TIME_ZONE" />' in your application's manifest file.

Update via TF Card

• Create an XML file named 'possystemsettings.xml'.

• Place the file in the '\cloudpos\config\' directory on a TF Card.

• Insert the TF Card into the terminal to apply the time zone settings. This process is similar to installing APKs or updating firmware via TF Card.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // change the timezone value.
    <terminal  timezone = "Asia/Shanghai">
    </terminal>

Update via TMS (Terminal Management System)

• Prepare an XML file named 'possystemsettings.xml'.

• This XML configuration file can be distributed and applied through TMS.

• For detailed instructions, refer to Configure POS System Settings.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // change the timezone value.
    <terminal  timezone = "Asia/Shanghai">
    </terminal>
