Time Zone Update
My iPhone 4s thinks I am in the Cupertino CA time zone. The "set automatically" time zone setting is ON. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Hi James,
my iPhone uses German language. I tried to translate.
You are right: Go to "Settings", than to the last setting in the first block, in German "Netzbetreiber", e.g. Vodafone or Eplus or Telekom. It is the line right above "Toene" (= "Sounds"?). The term "net provider" means the company, that provides the telecom net, in U.S.A. perhaps "Orange" or "ATNT". Is it "carrier" in English?
(See this example: http://maclites.com/bilder/iphone-4s-ortungsdienste-einstellungen-auf-ortungsdie nste-tippen.jpg)
So is this better:
Go to "Settings" => "Carrier" => disable "automatic" => enable "automatic".
Then go to "date & time" an see, if the automatic time zone works.
😉
This problem seems to be fixed in iOS 6. At least, when I turn on Setting > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically to On the Time Zone now says "Phoenix" and not "Denver" or "Sacramento".
So hopefully, it's all fixed now. 🙂
Same problem in Alaska. My texts show up an hour later (by time stamp). So when its truely 3:38 am, and i get a text, it says i got it at 4:38 am even though i didnt. I changedvthe time to set automaticly and it changed the times to the correct times. Maybe this was what the software update fixed, so finding it automatically actually started working.
My Ical on my Mac desktop shows the correct times when I am looking at the actual appointments etc, however, if I have an alert set for one hour before the event, the alert triggers at the event time instead of one hour early. I am going to try to set my alerts by an offset of an hour and see if that resolves my issue for the time being.
please read this:
I'm having the same problem... Where you able to fix it?
Maybe the problem is in AZ only...
@RimShaker, AZ doesn't observe the daylight saving time. So, we never change the time.
@Diesel vdub
There is a new option (I think) under Settings/Location Services/System Services called Setting Time Zone... Seems that it suppouse to grabe the time zone using the GPS....
For you it's annoying. For the thousands of us in Arizona it is a real problem.
It IS a problem: look at the times for your events after Sunday. They are all off by an hour. This is what I noticed first.
James, it's not a few weeks. It's this Sunday.
I just looked at my untouched stock calendar app, and it shows the right time for my scheduled events. Maybe it has to do with using Google Calendars? If so, that's a pretty sad statement.
They are showing the right time now, because MST and PDT are the same, but they are in Pacific time. For events next week the time will be off by an hour.
What time zone is listed in the event, and what time zone is set on the device you're checking future events on? If they're the same the time will be right. If they're different it may be wrong.
