Some iPhones with Daylight Savings Glitch?

[njaremka]

i find this thread interesting, but not as interesting as what happened for me and my wife... we both have verizon iphones, and we both plug them in at night and use them on each side of the bed as clocks. when i checked the time on mine sunday morning, it was still set to DST. Her's was set to STD time. mine didnt change until i cycled the power.

so, all this bull about it being the network, and not the phone... i dont buy it. it wasnt a big deal, but it was certainly an interesting one.

We have two AT&T iPhone 4's running iOS 4.2.1 and out of the blue today one of them was an hour off. This is strange because both automatically set their clocks ahead correctly yesterday.

My iPhone 3GS switched over fine yesterday and then I woke up this morning to it being an hour behind. Not sure what happened. But now I am going to be late for work... Great.

My AT&T iPhone 4 just woke me up an hour early this morning. It adjusted the DST correctly yesterday, however. This really pisses me off because waking up at 6am is already as early as it is, but instead, the stupid phone woke me up at 5am...

I am also having this issue. Woke up at 3am eastern.

woke me up an hour early. i was scared to reset it, so i just continued to hit snooze until i really needed to get up

I have an AT&T iPhone 4 running 4.2.1. The time changed correctly, but my alarm didn't go off this morning. I have a repeating alarm on weekdays for 7:15am and it never sounded. Timing was worse too because my body still thinks its an hour earlier so I didn't wake up on my own like I probably would have otherwise. Going to reboot and see if it works tomorrow, with a backup.

My AT&T iPhone 4 with 4.2.1 changed appropriately on Sunday morning. However, midnight this morning the time went back an hour. I rebooted the phone and the time corrected itself. Glad I went to sleep late.

My 6 AM alarm went off at 6:03 (6:03 indicated on the iPhone).

Never did that before. Weird.

I didn't have a problem with time change or alarm on Sunday on my iPhone 4 on AT&T, which is a good thing since I have to be up at 6:15-6:30 am to make it to the church early enough for sound/equipment check and warm ups by 8:00. It went off at the same time that my alarm clock (set manually) and my Verizon phone from work. My phone is currently running iOS 4.2.1, my MacBook Pro is running OS X 10.6.6, and all are connected to an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station with the latest firmware (7.5.???) and using Apple's time server.

Time rolled forward fine, AT&T iPhone. No problem with clock.

Recurrent Alarm is still messed up (early by an hour) but I still have 4.1.

Manual alarm suppose to work.

Ah F@#$%, even My Blackberry Curve has this each and every time the states moves over into Daylight savings(and back) and I am in Europe

Why's it so difficult for them to get the clock working correctly?

Agreed, they CAN make a sophisticated (i)OS but just can't get this straightened out

I was up when the clock rolled over at midnight. It jumped to 1 AM, however my alarm went off an hour early. So the time was right, but the clock app wasn't reading it correctly.

Same here...at least you weren't an hour late!

I had a problem that day with 2 ATT iphones. I live in Arizona and the phone changed time by an hour but Arizona does not change times. One of the few things you can say Arizona is enlightened about.

By mid morning the problem was fixed. One daily alarm went off an hour late but it wasn't critical.

I searched the web and found reports that this is an annual problem in Arizona for ATT phones, not just the iphone.

Apple proudly says that they run things like a startup, with coders wearing multiple hats.

Switching developers between OSes and devices every few months to pump out the next revision, is not conducive to well tested and thought out code... no matter what non-developer high level managers think.

Note that I'm usually the first to defend mistakes in DST code, having suffered at its hands myself. However, this is going on too long.

(This is a common problem in today's economy. Many bosses have found that they can "make do" with fewer developers. The coding results can often be a house of cards.)

Ironically, Apple brags about having tons of money, but they stash it overseas instead of using it to buy more developers at home. Penny wise, pound foolish.

They have plenty of money "at home" to pay for extra developers. Apple has never worked this way. Jobs likes small teams of "highly talented people." He can drive the wipe much easier that way

My wife and I had something similar happen (we're on AT&T). Both our phones were fine through most of Sunday. Sunday night when we went to bed she went to set her alarm and the phone had rolled back an hour but mine was still fine. We don't really know when during the day her time changed back. She power cycled the phone and all was well. (Well, to be specific, when the lock screen came up the time was still off, but was correct when she opened to the main screen.)

I have a Verizon iPhone, and I had it happen. At midnight last night, my phone rolled back to 11pm. I went in to change it manually, and turning off DST corrected it. I left DST and rebooted my phone, and its worked perfectly since. It stayed at midnight then, and this morning, it has successfully rolled forward.

So yes, there is a bug, but a reboot fixed it for me.

I wonder how many started the fuss when nothing happened after midnight? Even in this thread it is mentioned. It is 2 a.m. of course. I suspect a lot of FUD on this one. As a 35 year Apple veteran this home has many Apple products and everything changed perfectly.

My alarm isn't ringing at all and hasn't since the time change. Could I get a replacement at the Apple Store for this? I'm fine with an actual alarm clock at home but do use the iPhone when traveling.

This is bizarre: My AT&T iPhone 3G displayed the correct time this morning, however as I go to bed, it is an hour behind. I went to the Date/Time settings and made sure that it was set to automatically adjust the time. When I turned off the auto adjust, it displayed the correct time for my time zone. When I turn the auto adjust back on, the clock goes back an hour.

I did the same things with the same result with my Eastern time zone ATT iPhone 4G: it was an hour behind with the auto adjust on, correct with it off. Story about the glitch in local paper suggested turning airplane mode on, then off.

That worked. It's been fine since. (Maybe it acted as a reboot?)

They had it right back in 3.1.2, because I'm on a jailbroken 3GS running that with no alarm/savings time issues at all. I haven't synced my iPhone in over a year! I know, crazy... But I have my backgrounding and stuff, and it's working better than my GFs current & updated iPhone.
