Daylight Savings Time tonight! Question....

[Stealthipad]

AT&T did it job and the network changed my time at 2am. It has always done this with no problem. I have had the "extra services" turned off from the beginning and it make no difference. The time change is the responsibility of the carrier network.

WTF. Another daylight savings time gate. Clock doesn't change if you set it to "automatic". This is a very serious bug. Apple disappointed me again.

Wirelessly posted (iPhone 4: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334 Safari/7534.48.3)

My iPhone 4 did not switch back one hour as it should have. I'm on the east coast. My iPhone says it is 3:57 and it is actually 2:57.

My phone says 5:40 now. Should be 4:40. What's up with that apple?

Turn it off and back on again. It should fix itself. It's still a bug, and I'm reporting it to Apple, but at least the fix is easy.

Same experience here. Time changed correctly, but all of my calendar appointments were one hour later than they were supposed to be. Power cycling the phone fixed them, though.

Update: Filed this bug in Radar.

I spoke too soon. Last night it did switch over at 2:00am to 1:00am. However, this morning, when I got up, I noticed that the phone had switched ahead an hour. All my Calendar appointments (synced through Exchange) are also an hour off. IOW, I have a 12:00 appointment today that says 1:00, so it will go off at the right "real" time.

I'm on AT&T, by the way.

Update: Turning the phone off and back on appears to have fixed the clock, and my calendar entries are still at the right absolute time (my 12:00 appointment is back at 12:00). So there is still a bug, but easily fixed.

Mine is messed up as well. I had the alarm set for 6am to get up and go hunting, well it went off at 6 according to the phone, but it is actually 7am. It is telling me I am in Chicago's time zone (Central), when I am in the eastern time zone.


EDIT: Well whatta ya know, as soon as I posted, I looked down and it had changed to the right time. I had turned it off but when I turned it on it was still wrong. I just checked and it has me in the right time zone now.

Mine hasn't changed.

I lives in Toronto, which appearantly is eastern time. And I turned auto set on, and guess what? I "lives" in Halifax now! iPhone really pissed me off!

My alarm went off at the correct time, but the phone's time was an hour off.

Set my alarm for 4:30, and it woke me up at the real 4:30, but the phone thought it was 5:30. How strange.

I was freaked out that I'd be late for work. Jumped up and looked at my bf's blackberry - and was relieved. Shame a BB can do everything automatically but an iPhone can't lol.

A restart corrected the time. All's well.

It now shows the right time after I restarted

Make sure you wear your tin foil hat tonight. You know, just in case.

As for your phone, the time change should be automatic and you should wake up on time.
However last year there was a boondoggle and it borked up on a lot of people. Might set a second alarm just to be sure.

OP asked a perfectly reasonable question.

Happy to report that my iPhone 4S with (set automatically) turned off shows the right time, as well as my iPad 2 and iPod touch.... AT&T service here in mountains of North East Alabama. It's a beautiful day for a hike. Get out live a little.....

How the hell can Apple keep screwing up something so simple?

I set my alarm for 8:30 am Central time. My phone decided to set its time back 2 hours instead of one. So when it was 8:30 in actuality my iphone said it was 7:30. And the alarm didn't go off till it was 9:30 in actuality. Good thing I had a backup set. iphone doesn't have a good reputation for getting daylight savings time right.

I had my settings to change time automatically and when 2 am rolled around it changed my time zone to Denver from Chicago so mine fell back 2 hours.
