Daylight Savings Time not changing

I have a Verizon Wireless iPhone 4 and the time didn't change for daylight savings time today. It is set to do it automaticly and I also tried to sync it to see if it would change but it didn't. Any advice?

Dell, iOS 4

I have iphone 3g and it also did not change. My alarm went off at 6:10 and again at 6:30 and it was an hour behind. Needless to say I was late to work for 2nd time thanks to the iphone. When I left the house to place a call and ended the call the phone updated the time, the time the call was placed and a text message at 6:30 to the new time. Seems like the problem is in the phone with the phone being in a standby or sleep mode.

I am having the same problem with my iPhone 4 (ATT) - iOS 4.3. My time is set to automatic and it is an hour behind. My fiancé who is right beside me with a 3GS has the correct time as well as my iPad 2.

One would think that if this was a tower issue that her and I would be on the same tower. Rebooting does not fix the time. If I disable Set Automatically, the time jumps ahead an hour and all is well.

I am puzzled by this.

+1. My AT&T iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.2.1 had the same problem. It did NOT automatically "Spring Forward" for Daylight Savings time. I had to restart the phone to get the correct time. I though Apple had addresses this issue back in November with the "Alarm Clock DT" bug. Sigh.

Interestingly, my WiFi iPad (v1) running iOS 4.2.1 updated the time just fine.

I, too, suffered the same problem with my iphone 4, os 4.3. My phone did not spring forward an hour, unless I turned it off to do so automatically in the settings. However, my son has a 3gs and his phone DID spring forward. Same house, same AT&T, same os, same everything except for the type of phone. Very strange. I restarted my phone two times, but the only thing that would make it spring forward was to turn off "Set Automatically," then it moved, but if I turned it back on it would go back an hour. Erg.
