Turn it off & turn it back on again. Or go to settings > general > date & time and slide the "set time automatically" toggle off then back on. Either one should sync you up properly. Although it Apple really should've handled this properly. It happens twice a year for Pete's sake.

Nothing has worked on mine. I have set it to manual mode and then back to automatic. It stays Central time for about 5 seconds and then reverts to "ETC/GMT+5." I have no clue what time zone that even is. I have changed my iCloud, I have toggled everything, I have rebooted a dozen times. Nothing is working and I'm on the verge of throwing this thing out the window. Only thing that works is keeping it in manual mode which seems to defeat the purpose.

I rebooted to get my phone to fall back an hour. THEN I thought to check Time and Date, which was set for automatic changes. I've had problems with DST in both iOS 6 and iOS 7. Apple handled Y2K with no hiccoughs, so DST not changing is an embarrassment. Even my old no longer assigned Palm Centro, kept charged for backup emergency calls, handled the time change.

I have toggled, turned on and off but the time NEVER changes for Daylight Savings or when I travel to another time zone and of course the alarm and calendar settings do not adjust either.

What else can I do to fix this Major problem? I travel often, the last thing I need is to babysit my iPhone!


After the major Map Screw up, Apple just hasn't gotten back on track, they are falling from grace.... Very sad!
