Some iPhones with Daylight Savings Glitch?

All was good with my Verizon iPhone.
 
wow, this is a NETWORK issue, not iPhone.

the time is pushed to your phone by your carrier if it's set automatically. if it's not, then of course it's not gonna do anything or it's going to be wrong.

i thought this was common knowledge?

if i fly down to the west coast (i'm in the east) and restart my phone, I WILL GET THE TIME FOR THE WEST COAST

My Vzw iPhone also had this issue last night, but it shows the correct time now. And judging from other posts, Vzw fixed this issue at some point in the night. I bet a lot of vzw iphones were affected, but most people did not notice any issue because it happened while most ppl were asleep and it was resolved by morning..
 
my att iphone 4 was set to automatic time for phx az and it moved my clock ahead by an hr today even tho az doesnt do daylight savings so it shouldn't have to change ever.. the clock app has had problems since the beginning which is just ridiculous..
to fix all i had to do tho was turn automatic time off then back on and it corrected itself.

Precisely. Not sure why so many people can't seem to figure that out.
 
Somewhat related. I have AT&T and two summers ago drove across the country. When I went from EST to Central time the clock went back one hour like it was supposed to, but when I crossed into mountain time AT&T switched my phone back to Eastern time. I had to manually set it to the correct time, until we got to the pacific time zone where it started working again.
 
I had a problem here in Arizona where there is no daylight savings time. I have the my AT&T iPhone set to auto set date and time and it was a hour ahead.

ex. My alarm went off at 10:30 when it was actually 9:30.

No problems here on AT&T iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.

This is a Microsoft level problem, Apple! You aren't noobs. Get it right!

Actually... my Samsung Focus (Windows Phone 7) updated itself at 1:59 to 3:00... I watched. I believe this is an Apple level problem, not Microsoft ;)

Phones keep time while they're off. Phone's also don't check to see what time it is, every hour, they check when they're turned on. The network provides a fallback, but the phone should know what time it is, too. There's no excuse for Apple's spotty coding. None.

I wonder, given warning, will apple sort this out before the rest if the world moves to Summer time. They knew for winter and didn't fix it!

No problem here. No problem last time either

i understand what you're saying, as soon as the phone is booted up, the time is pushed to the phone by the carrier.

the time was updating by the carrier right at 2AM to reflect the proper time changes. this has nothing to do with Apple's code. the only way i can see this being a problem is if the setting "set time automatically" wasn't enabled.

You have got to be kidding me. I'm so tired of these alarms having problems with every little change on this world. I'm about to go back to my old clock radio. Thanks Steve!
 
4.3

My iphone 4 with 4.3 got it right this morning. My aunts 3g with 4.2 didn't and my brother's 3gs with something between 4.0.1 & 4.2 didn't get it right either. I think 4.3 has something to do with it changing automatically.
 
Agreed, it's the carrier that sets the time, not the device.

I sleep with my AT&T iPhone set to airplane mode so that it won't disturb me in the night - when I woke up this morning, it was still on the old time. (Good thing I wasn't relying on any alarms)

As soon as I switched off airplane mode, allowing it to access the cell network, it correctly jumped forward an hour to daylight savings time.

I live in Arizona and we don't follow daylight savings time, but my phone jumped an hour ahead. I'm on AT&T btw

Exact same thing happened to me, AT&T iPhone 4, set to "Arizona" (not Mountain) time. I power cycled the phone and it reset to the correct time.
