i have tried to do the following
* add SetEnv TZ Etc/GMT-3 in .htacceess
* change date_default_timezone_set('Etc/GMT-3'); in system/startup.php
* add <?php
putenv("TZ=Etc/GMT-3");
?>
<?php
date_default_timezone_set("Etc/GMT-3");
?> in /index.php and admin/index.php and
* add mysql_query("SET time_zone = 'Etc/GMT-3'"); in system/library/db/mysql.php
* add $this->link->query("SET time_zone = 'Etc/GMT-3'"); in system/library/db/mysqli.php

and nothing worked till now !

You're not supposed to add the offset in that function, just the zone.
Add
date_default_timezone_set(YOUR ZONE IN QUOTES);
like
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
to both your index.php's right after <?php on a new line.

Remove this on in system > startup.php:
if (!ini_get('date.timezone')) {
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

and put this in:
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

But you only will see report > customer activity is on the America/Los_Angeles, the rest remain unchange.

if it works fine with you then the problem has to be from my side , i changed the admin path and changed it in the code as well but it didn't work , can you share the file you have with me please
