How do I change the city in Prayer Times?

Changing a city is simple and the procedure is same for both Pro/Basic users. You may see a more thorough and a slightly different view under Prayer Times Pro/Extra but the following should allow you to change the current city nonetheless:

1. Start Prayer Times
2. Click on the Menu button (on some phones like Nokia 9500, there is a dedicated button on the keypad, other can click on the center button or the options button) and select "Settings" from the list
3. On the settings screen, the first item will be "Change City". Select that by pressing enter or the center button.
4. You will be shown the main Continents screen. Select the continent the city's in by using the up and down arrows and then press enter or the center keypad button to move the selection onto the particular continent. Once you see the black dot on the continent you've selected, press the Menu button and from there select "Next".
5. In the next screen, you'll have to select the country your city's in. You can either use the quick find feature by entering the first few characters of the city and then pressing the "down" arrow to cause the selection cursor to move onto the Drop down list, which will automatically move the selection to the country that has matched the quick find character entries. OR, you can click on the drop-down box and scroll down to select the country of your choice. Once the country has been chosen by pressing the center button or the enter key, press the Menu button again and select "Next"
6. Now if you're using Prayer Times Pro/Extra, you will be shown a list of alphabets. You will need to select the one that your city starts with, press enter or the center button on it and then from Menu select "Next". However in case of Prayer Times Basic, you can select the city of your choice from the drop down and from Menu select "Next".
7. In case Prayer Times can't determine whether your country is observing daylight savings, it will ask you if you want to switch this on. If you don't know what this is, your country most probably is not observing daylight savings and so you should select "No" at this point. Choosing the wrong option will offset the prayer times by an hour. You can always change this setting again from the "Settings" area by clicking selecting "Clock Settings" from withing Menu->Settings->Clock Settings

InshAllah now you should be able to use the new city you've selected.
