java - Getting GMT as timezone instead of HST or PDT -

i trying display current timestamp in log file timezone value. observe 2 different users in same location, timezone printed differently.

for 1 user, displayed hst zone id , other gmt.

this problem gmt happening in note 2 device , in note 4 there no problem.

below code how timestamp,

  try {         date date = new date();         dateformat df = new simpledateformat("mm/dd/yyyy z:hh:mm:ss a");         df.settimezone(timezone.getdefault());         currenttimestamp = df.format(date);     }      catch (exception e) {         log.e("logger", "error in getcurrenttimestamp = " + e.getmessage(),e);     } 

what expecting this,

  05/02/2015 hst:09:43:46  

but in note 2 gives me,

  gmt-10:00:09:43:46  

i tried changing phone's default timezone still no luck.

can please explain

hst gmt-10 giving right time format different.

greenwich mean time 10 hours ahead of hawaii standard time 7:04 pm thursday, hawaii standard time (hst) 5:04 friday, greenwich mean time (gmt)

use use dateformat df = new simpledateformat("mm/dd/yyyy z:hh:mm:ss a", locale.us); timezone name.
