Daylight Savings Time not changing

"We're pretty sure it's a random AT&T problem. As a temporary workaround change the Time and Date setting to turn Automatic to OFF."

The crazy thing is though, my fiancé's 3GS updated to the correct time. Our phones were never more than 30 feet apart, so we should be on the same tower. Why her 3GS showed the correct time and my iPhone 4 did not baffled me all morning. It finally updated automatically to the correct time around 3pm EST. Both our phones are running iOS 4.3, so that's why I was puzzled.

Rebooting and syncing did not fix the problem for me. I just had to ride it out and it finally figured out the correct time.

dr187- I live in White Pine, TN, which is about 40'ish miles from Knoxville. Strange because (as I posted before) my iPhone 4 will not update unless I turn off "Set Automatically," whereas my son's iPhone 3GS changed time correctly with the same OS and settings. It's not our tower, obviously, since we have both been here all day using the same tower. We both had our phones on all night. I have restarted my phone multiple times, hard reboot, changed settings, and everything suggested here to no avail. Still showing the wrong time unless I turn off the automatic settings. Strangely interesting and frustrating, I must say......

I am in Canada. My iPad on Rogers Wireless is 1 hour behind. My iPhone displayed the correct time; however, after a reboot the iPhone is also now 1 hour behind. The only way to display the correct time is to turn off "Set Automatically". If I turn on Airport mode, then turn it back on, the clock flashes the correct time for about five seconds after the 3G reconnects, but then returns to the incorrect time.

Update.... If you turn off the 3G network, the clock will magically set itself correctly.... So this problem is network related.

Yeah, except as soon as I turned wifi or 3G back on, it reverted back to the old time. Double erg.

Glad I live in Arizona because we don't change time however this morning my phone was an hour ahead until I unlocked it then it was correct. That is one reason why daylight saving time is outdated. No one needs DST anymore and it should be eliminated permanently.

I've done everything with no luck. Except one... drive.

I drove 3 mins. away from the cell tower I was on at the apartment when I noticed the clock now works fine.
I kept it on "set automatically" and it corrected itself.
My remedy... go for a coffee and all should be well.

Guess I'll throw my 2 cents in since I notice some VZ iPhone users have chimed in. I have the Verizon iPhone 4 (4.2.6), live in SouthWest Georgia (less than 15 miles from the Alabama/GA border). My time updated correctly at 2:00 am. It has maintained the correct time throughout the day. Not that this is completely relevant but my iPod Touch also updated correctly (running iOS 4.3). My mother, also a VZ Iphone owner also had her phone update correctly. My friend, a AT&T iPhone 4 user also had hers update correctly. She lives in Clarksville, TN and is on Central Time. I am not sure what her iOS is (not sure if she updated to 4.3).

Chile decided, at the beginning of march, to extends daylight saving time two weeks in 2011. So I think that the problem will disappear the 2nd of April for iphone and mac os in Chile

I don't think it's the phone, I think it's the ATT towers. My iPhone is not correct unless I switch off automatic time in the settings. None of the other suggestions have worked.

My son has an LG with ATT and his time is also off an hour. So I think it's on ATT's end, not ours.

My take is that it is the cell towers.

My phone switched time correctly, no reboots.

Reading comments on blogs re: the issue, and comments in this thread, it's not just iPhones that have had problems. Blackberries and other feature phones are having issues as well.

BTW: visiting the Vegas area (Henderson).

here is a weird one.. my phone was correct yeaterday (sunday march 13th) but today (monday march 14th) it is back to the old time... why the **** did that happen?

As of 1am this morning, problem was still not resolved. However, when I woke up this morning the problem was resolved and the correct time was now reported automatically. Must have been a local tower issue, but it still doesn't explain why people in the same household running the same software were experiencing different behavior...

I have an iPhone 3GS. The time changed for Daylight Savings, so I didn't think there was any problem. Last night I turned on my two repeating alarm for 6:15 and 6:30 just like I always do. They did not go off at all. I woke up 5 minutes after 8, and needless to say I was late for work.

Did anyone else experience them not going off at all? I'm at a loss.

Dear Apple, there is one thing that MUST work on my iPhone 4: MY ALARM CLOCK. This means:

1) If Adjust Time Automatically in Settings is switched on, I do not have to EVER restart my iPhone for DST to take effect, which seems to be the only solution to this problem at this time.

2) A notification that comes at 3am while I sleep from Cupcake Maker app, which my 4 year old may have played on my iPhone just before she went to bed, MUST NOT block my alarm clock. If I forget to close all apps in multi-task menu just before I go to bed, chances are between my bed time and the time I need to wake up one of them will post a notification. Your logic still seems to be that I should wake up at 3am and clear "Cupcake Done" notification for my alarm to work at 7am.

3) Yes this also applies to Apple's Calendar app. An event reminder should never block my alarm clock.

4) The only reason my alarm clock should not work is if between my bed and wake-up time my iPhone's battery dies.

If this means you need to add a separate chip to the iPhone, sole function of which would be to run the Clock app, making the device heavier and thicker -- where can I please trade in my current iPhone for that??? You should see the size of my clock radio that I use for backup. It reminds me of a dialysis machine attached to a patient.

Now, I know you will delete this, but trust me, that will not make you feel any better. My iPhone did not do its DST thing this morning despite the fact that automatic adjustment was turned on, so I woke up an hour later. I had to reboot the device for this to take effect. If the tone and nature of this post is against your use policy, an app that comes preinstalled and built by Apple on an Apple device called Clock with an Alarm Clock feature should actually do what it claims to do. The fact that 4 years later people are still finding this to be spotty and problematic should at the very least make us even...

Love,
A devout everything-Apple user
