S4 Chooses incorrect time zone when set to automatic

My S4, and my son's, are choosing the incorrect time zone when the phones are set to choose automatically.
The phones were working and my son noticed his was off earlier in the week and mine seems to have developed the same issue sometime last evening.
They are both choosing Central Time and should be choosing Mountain Time.
Location services are enabled on both (GPS & Verizon as well as Google Wi-Fi)
I've launched my phone in Safe Mode and the issue still occurs
On my son's we chose to set time zone manually which works, but it reset itself to automatic later and returned to being incorrect.
Thanks for any help.

On my phone I believe it was the day I posted here (April 14th) on his a couple days prior to that.
Both had 'fixed' themselves until his changed back a couple days ago
No new apps, latest update applied to both phones (after his was already showing incorrect time).
Also of note, 3 other S4's in the household that do not have the issue(...yet?)
As mine is currently working I don't suppose there's a need for me to run in safe mode, but I will pass the instructions on to him

Why is the time wrong when setting itself automatically under Lion

My Date and Time preferences are set to ‘set date and time automatically’ and the zone is set to Europe (where I live).
However, since updating to Lion 10.7.1 (via the App Store), the time is showing as 8 hours early (ie USA time. What is the cause for this and are there any fixes?
Thanks?

That is what makes the time go wrong. I can only ‘fix’ it by setting it to manual and adjusting it myself. Every time I set it to ‘automatic’ it sets itself not to European times (as selected) but to 8 hours earlier....

IPhone 4S Calendar Event Defaults to Incorrect Time Zone

My iPhone, Win7 PC is set for Eastern Time. I use Outlook/Exchange and the Outlook calendar in Options is set for Eastern Time as well. I never had any issues until recently. My iPhone syncs with the Exchange server using ActiveSync.
A few weeks ago I was out west and changed my Win 7 O/S time zone to Pacific Time. I did not change anything in Outlook or on my iPhone. The iPhone has always been set for “Set Automatically” (Settings/General/Date & Time). Also, in Mail, Contacts and Calendars my Time Zone is Set for Montreal (where I live) with Time Zone Support “On”. I have never changed this from the day I got the iPhone. Whenever I travel the time zone automatically switches. When I came back from the west coast my phone switch back to Eastern as it should and I manually set the Win 7 O/S to Eastern as well.
Now for some reason, when I create a calendar event in Outlook (i.e. on the desktop) the event shows up correctly on the iPhone (example: a meeting for tomorrow at 2:00 PM Eastern shows up as tomorrow at 2:00PM on the iPhone). However, when I “edit” the calendar event on the iPhone, the time shows up as 11:00AM and the time zone is Los Angeles (3 hours apart from Montreal). You can just imagine how this is causing me havoc as I do business in different time zones and have to reschedule meetings often.
I have tried to set the time zone to something else and then back to eastern or Montreal. It makes no difference. When I create a calendar event directly on the iPhone the default time zone is Montreal and it shows up correctly on both devices.
Any ideas what’s going on?

Hi Song&DanceMan,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Issues with calendar time zone can be very frustrating. It sounds as though the Time Zone Support feature may be affecting these events. Please use the attached article for more information on Time Zone Support.

Incorrect Time Zone

My daughter and I are having issues with calendar entries on our iPhones. Whenever we create a new entry in the Gmail calendar, it appears with GMT despite the fact that all the overrides and time zones are set to EST.
We did wonder whether this was because we visited the UK recently.
Checking the Apple Forums and following advice given, they now suggest this may be a cell provider issue. That's you!
Here is the Apple response:

Kpwcareer,
The correct date and time is certainly an important function! When did this start happening? What model iPhones are you using? Software up to date? Please clarify a few more details so we can find the root cause.

You can't merge IDs, but if you want to change the ID:
For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the new ID.
For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
For iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your new ID and choose Merge to upload your data.

How do I stop iCal from changing my gCal events to UTC time zone when entering new events?

Within the last week, iCal has begun automatically changing the time zone of new events I enter via Calendar on my Google calendar to UTC. It does not do this for items entered on my iCal calendar.
I enter the date and time (Pacific Time) and as soon as I add an invittee or click "Done" it changes the time zone to UTC.
Prefs:
iCal time zone support is on
Mac time zone is set automatically (and its correctly finding PDT)
gCal time zone is also set for Pacific
Calendar reads 11-1 pm...
Yes, one solution would be to not use Calendar. Barring that, what do you suggest?

I was having the same problem and spent some time on the phone with apple today.(new computer is under apple care). Tried a ton of stuff with different folks and ultimately I (well, me and 3 apple specialists) was able to solve this issue.
Here's the break down:
1. Quit Mail, Calendar and Messages.
2. Open: System Preference -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars
3. Delete all your google accounts (using the little minus button below your account list)
4. Restart your computer.
5. Re-add your google accounts. (Obviously, keep the calendar box checked).
6. Open calendar and wait for your google info to populate.
7. Attempt to add an event with correct time zone.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Events I created while I was having the problem still had the problem.
I simply deleted those broken events and recreated them with refreshed settings.
I've only had this working for a few hours so I'm not certain it will stay working forever.
But for now it is a relief.
I realize deleting and re-adding the accounts is annoying but it's a lot less frustrating than seeing UTC every time you add an event.
Hope that helps everyone else having this problem.

. .....but i couldn't find the time capsule from airport utility..... why?

Are you using a new 802.11ac Time Capsule - the "tall" one - and are you still using Mac OS X 10.6.8?
You need OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" or later, or an iOS device, to configure an 802.11ac Time Capsule:

Has there been an update or fix to the digital signature time zone off set being one hour off?

Has there been an update or fix to the digital signature time zone off set being one hour off? I have seen that in the forum that this was identified as a bug back in June 2012. Any updates on this as it is still occurring in my version of Acrobat X with all updates applied. Thanks.

IPod continuously flashes "Do not Disconnect" even when set to automatic.

iPod continuously flashes "Do not Disconnect" even though iTunes says "Update is Complete" and even when set to automatic update. It mounts both in iTunes and on the Desktop.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I have alredy tried rebooting both the iPod and computer.
Thanks.

Patrick,
Welcome to the discussions.
Sounds like you've got Disk Use enabled. Try unchecking the Box "Enable Disk Use" under iTunes>Preferences>iPod Tab.

Incorrect time zone for Mongolia

Hi I am using Nokia N95 and want to use a pc suite calendar sync. But on N95, Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar is on Time Zone +9, it needs to be on +8, which is correct. when I do sync with my pc all the calendar schedule brings one our difference because on windows Mongolia is in the time zone +8.
Please help me how to solve this problem

Don't think that is a user changeable setting. If it is a bug in the firmware then you should report it using the "Contact us" tab above to the right of this screen. Perhaps they will correct it for the next update and newer phones.
You could try updating your firmware if there is a newer version available for your phone. It may already have been corrected.

How to fix, incorrect time zone adjustment from iCloud to iPhone Calendar?

I entered a calendar event on iCloud using my PC. The event is displayed an hour later on my iPhone. i.e (iCloud) Flight; 2:15pm --> (iPhone) Flight; 3:15pm.
The Time Zone setting is correct (Eastern Daylight Savings) on both the PC and iCloud.
I have had a similar issue when syncing calendar between Yahoo and iPhone.
Any similar experiences? Can this be fixed?
Thanks.

I re-checked the iCloud timezone settings and found that it was set to "Eastern Standard Time" not Daylight savings time. Odd. I clicked on the map again and it changed to "Eastern Time". I tried again and it seems to be working. I am assuming that the "Eastern Time" timezone adjusts automatically.
I haven't figured out the issue with Yahoo calendar yet. Any suggestions?
I also followed up with Ralph Landry1's suggestion and Time Zone support is set to off. Thanks for the heads up.

IMac recognizes old time zone, when auto time zone is on

Just moved from Japan to Texas. iMac thinks it's still in Japan, Zama-shi to be exact. That was my old town. I'm using a local ISP cable internet. I'm pretty sure it's not a coincidence that my new ISP would have it's server in Japan. Does anyone know how to fix this.

How do I update all appointments to match changing time zones when I travel?

I have numerous appointments in my calendar. I also do a lot of travelling World Wide. As I arrive in a different time-zone I change the setting on my PC to match the current location. I understand that if I receive a new invitation to an appointment while in the new time-zone then this will appear in my calendar correctly at the current time-zone setting. However I had expected the calendar to update all existing appointments received and accepted from others, to the new time-zone but this does not happen. Is there a facility to make this occur?

Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > Calendar and adjust the timezone there.
