So I live in the central time zone part of Florida. Yesterday I took a trip into the eastern time zone part. My Iphone 4 time switched over to the eastern time zone. It did not switch back over when I returned home. Anyone know why?
Got a tip for us?

I notice that my i4 lags in switching back and forth between Eastern and Pacific time as I travel back and forth a lot. My 3G, admittedly, switched over very quickly.
I think there must be a tweak necessary in there somewhere.
I find that a reboot does, in fact, fix this...but the 2G and the 3G picked it up automatically even without a reboot.

I live in EST about an hour from the Alabama state line. I've noticed when I go to places like Cusseta or as far east as Americus, sometimes my phone will switch to the Alabama or CST zone. I don't think this is iPhone related. I think this comes from the network. If your time is updated automatically (I think that is done in the settings), our time is supplied by the network.

It's the "fountain of youth" thing. Travel to the panhandle (west) and you're an hour younger.
