Wrong Timezone

It's the end of DST bug that Apple seems unable to fix for whatever reason. Anyway, I found that my appointments kept the correct "absolute" time even when the phone displayed the wrong time. IOW, when my phone was ahead an hour, so were my appointments, so they would have gone off at the right actual time.
I have heard that switching to Airplane Mode for a few seconds also works (as does powering down).
I suggest consolidating all Daylight Saving Time discussions into this thread.

Every year during the time changes, folks report problems with their devices not setting back, or forward, an hour. I've never had this problem. I don't know if this makes any sense as an explanation, but I turn my phone off every night. I'm wondering if that (somehow) explains why I don't experience the problem. If there's anything to this idea, maybe a reboot solves the problem. (Sorry, in advance, if this is a simpleminded suggestion.
)
BTW - I know that turning off at night is not a practical for everybody, especially those who use the phone alarm for morning wakening.

It keeps moving my wife to New York. Seriously Apple, how hard is this really? Windows had this nailed over a decade ago. Even my webOS devices set themselves correctly and they aren't even made anymore.
Confirming power-cycle fixes the time zone issue with DST
For those of you who woke up in Denver today, you have company, though all the Apple employees who represent your company woke up in Anchorage this morning instead of Cupertino.
However, as previous posts suggest in this thread, the power cycle brought us Californians back to the future, and to our home towns.

mine changed right but not till around 6 am I checked then and it was still a hour off till I unlocked it and checked another source.
So, time zone setting is wrong...
My iPhone 4S on iOS 5 doesn't set the time zone correctly. So my clock is an hour ahead... I am in Dallas and it thinks I am in New York. I say this is a little farked up. Anyone else???

This is what happened to me... WTF?
However, my alarm went off at the right time. I have to be at work at 7, so my 1 hour reminder goes off at 6:00am. The reminder went off at at 6am, but my phone showed 7am on the clock and my alarm didn't go off.
Glad I had the reminder set up or I'd be in trouble.

I just tried a few different things. First, I set it manually to Dallas, then set it back to automatic and it went back to New York. Then I decided to turn it off and back on. And that seemed to fix it. Try that and let me know if that worked.
A reboot did not fix it for me. Turning on 24 hour and turning it off did.
Can't wait for the Fandroids to hear about this.

You're not the only one. We're in Toronto and my husband's iPhone 4S says he's in Halifax (an hour ahead). The iPad 2 (also running iOS 5) is working fine though.
This one is minor but after DST ended my lock screen clock was still showing DST time, while Siri was reporting the correct time (and even the clock in the status bar was correct). I had to unlock the phone and re-lock it for the lock screen clock to show correct time.
Oh and Siri claims DST ends on the 7th.
All of this on 5.0.1 beta 2.
