iPhone time change...

[tekchic]

I live in AZ which doesnt do daylight saving time. My 5am alarm went off at 4am. I was not amused. Finally gave up and turned off "Set Automatically" and set it back to 4am.

Looks like every time the time changes for the rest of the world, I'll have to make sure my iPhone is showing the right time again too, even though our time doesn't change. I dont remember this issue happening before iOS 4.

my brother is on Fido (owned by Rogers) and he said his time didn't change until later into the morning.

That's what makes me think that it's not a network issue.

That's what makes me think that it's not a network issue.

My phone corrected itself once I rebooted it, but our apartment has 4 Verizon phones in it (my iPhone,android,and feature phones) and my iPhone was the only one to flip back to 11PM at midnight. It jumped forward like it was supposed to at 2 AM, but to me it seems like this is an apple software issue not a Verizon network problem.

Not a big deal now, just hope my alarm goes off on time tomorrow.

i'm having a weird issue


my phone switched fine last night and was normal for the whole day. then at midnight tonight it fell back an hour again.

i turn airplane mode on, then turn it off, the clock displays the correct time for about a second and then goes back an hour to the incorrect time. ive tried hard reset, reboot, etc.


im on 4.2.1

had my alarm set for 2:45AM for work this morning; alarm did not go off until 3:45AM, was not set as a repeat alarm. also tried to reset my alarm for tomorrow morning at 2:45 and the phone will not let me put the number 2 for the hour. crazy. hope this will be for the today only.

I suspect that is a feature because there actually was no such time as 2:45 "local time" on Sunday morning... so it wouldn't make sense to set the alarm clock to 2:45 local...

If you set the time to not automatically update, does it behave correctly? Based on what others are saying, it sounds like a network issue...

my iphone corrected itself at 1PM ET

i have an AT&T iphone and i got the no time correction until 1PM ET, on the other hand, the BlackBerry torch adjusted at 1AM ET, and changed it to 2AM.
so i can confidently say, it's not a Carrier specific issue, it's probably the iOS.

After the New Year's Eve alarm issue, i learned my lesson.. use a real alarm clock and get one of those watches that updates itself everyday.

Edit: AT&T on 4.2.1

Mine automatically sprung forward saturday night, was good all day Sunday, so I went to bed thinking all was well. Well, I was woken up by my wife this morning asking me why I wasn't up yet. I looked at my phone and said because it's only 5, not 6. Apparently over night the phone reverted back to the old time. Luckily my wife works nights, so she was still awake and was there to wake me up. After a reboot all is well again.

It looks like any time there is s time change, I need to pull out my old alarm clock with nonnetwork connections, because my phone is not reliable at all.

Not Definitively a Network Issue

same here on Rogers.

it's a NETWORK issue, nothing to do with the iPhone. the network sets the time, unless you have "set time automatically" on OFF.

I'm not convinced this is specifically a Network issue, at least not in my case.

I'm on TELUS with the iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3. Early Sunday morning, my phone switched time properly. Hooray, right?

But then I look at the time-stamps on my SMS messages...and they're TWO hours ahead.

Plus, my alarm didn't work this morning. I've since deleted all of my alarms and hope that the newly created one works tomorrow.

I've switched "Set Automatically" off and on PLUS rebooted my phone and the time-stamps are still ahead by TWO hours.

I love my iPhone and am a big Apple fan but this is really disappointing...

Mine (on Rogers) was changed automatically when I got up on Sunday morning.

One of my friends did not change until this morning (not sure which network).

 

[MisterDisney]

I wasn't thinking about the time change when I went to bed, so I don't know when it changed for my iPhone. But my 7:30am alarm went off as normal. It's an every day alarm that's been set for several weeks now. All times and time stamps looked correct as well (and still do). I'm set to automatically update and 24-hour time is also on (not that it should matter).

And like I said before, this is clearly not a device issue, I've had other phones not make the jump until hours later, the iphone has always done it for me.

If the problem was strictly times not changing over at 2am Sunday morning or one network changing times in wonky manners at strange hours, then I'd agree with you but that's not the case at all.

There are plenty of reports elsewhere that are saying alarms aren't going off or going off at the wrong time even though their time is set properly. Further, as I've stated before, my time changed over perfectly fine but my SMS time stamps are ahead by two hours. How would these be problems on the carrier and not the device as you suggest?
