Daylight savings time and iPhone 4 alarm bug NOW FIXED???

OK this morning i turned on my alarm and put it 1h ahead (the alarm is on repeat for the rest of the week) so the alarm goes off at the right time cos of the alarm bug.
but this morning my alarm was set at 6:45am and went off at 6:45am rather then 7:45am (if the bug was still present)
i have not changed my alarm and they are all repeat alarms. last week i fixed this problem by making my repeat alarm 1h ahead then normal.
i am now confused if this issue has been fixed.
Has this happened to anyone els?

Thanks wjosten.
I had been keeping an eye on this alarm bug but did not no thing changed on the 7th, guess i did not look hard enough.
would be nice is apple had a mailing list for these kinda things. so they can inform you of an error like this
well i am not in a rush for the 4.2 patch now sis the alarm is now working. they have now got like 5 odd months to fix this.
looks like apple is going on the same way as windows

Daylight Savings Time and Alarmsk

Since the daylight savings time updated over the weekend the alarms I had programmed on my iPhone will not set properly. The phone displays the correct current time so I know the clock has updated but any alarms I have set for the hour of 2am - 3am don't display the proper time. They keep reverting to 1-2am. I have deleted them and recreated them with the same results, on 2 different iPhones, a 4gig and an 8gig.

I see im not the only one that gets up early. v1.1.3 and updated to 1.1.4 I am unable to set the alarm to any time in 2AM (2:01, 3, 4, 5, etc..) any time set to 2AM shows 1AM in the alarm. 2PM shows fine. Any hour of the day shows fine. The error is setting a time of 2AM as it will not show that time and will revert to 1AM.
I am in a zone that uses DST.
I guess apple doesnt want us to wake up to pay the bills.
I hope someone has a fix for this before I goto bed... busting out the old alarm clock now.

Daylight Savings Time and Calendar?

What will happen to my iPhone calendar events come daylight savings time?

I have had that problem on my mac and iPhone. In my calendar it shows one hour later and even on my alarm clock app it is changing times, just odd random things.
On my iPhone I changed the time setting and it did not help. I am avoiding doing a total wipe and restore or whatever, because I don't want to go through the hassle of re doing everything.
I keep fixing my calendar and it keeps giving me trouble. Let me know if anybody has any ideas.

Daylight Savings Time and Time Zone Issue:

Howdy! Many of us woke up this morning to be dismayed to find that our iPhone was TWO hours behind instead of falling back one for the Daylight Savings Time adjustment, and were late for church. I have an iPhone 4S, with iOS 5...
I was working at that time of morning, and the initial switch went well. However, when I woke up, the clock was yet another hour behind. A little investigation showed that the Time zone had been changed to Denver (It was previously on Chicaco, and I live in Dallas.) I tried to select it to change it, and it wouldn't allow me. If I turned off the Set Automatically feature, then I could change it, but when I turned the Set Automatically feature back on, it would re-set the time zone to Denver.
I found another thread where they discuss this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16644669
To fix this, put in airplane mode, then back out again, then re-choose your correct time zone. If this doesn't work, then try turning your phone completely off and then on again. Thanks to 4n6doc for the tip!
The airplane mode trick worked for me: I turned airplane mode on, then off, then went to the Date & Time and set my time zone to Dallas, TX while the Set Automatically was off. When I turned the Set Automatically back on, it changed Dallas to Chicago, which is what every iPhone iOS I've ever had has done.

Hi,
Yes this is a correct way to fix the issue. One thing however, how did you set the timezone? For correct daylight saving handling, you'll have to use the long version, like America/New Yorw, NOT GMT-5 (for example).

Daylight savings time and solaris 10

Does anyone know if Solaris 10 users have to install a patch for the Daylight Savings Time issue?
Thank you
LM

I have used RealVNC Free program (http://www.realvnc.com)in all my systems with no problem, if interested hereis a quick way to install it.:
File to use: �vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz�
#gunzip vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz
#tar �xvf vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar
#cd vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris
b)
Install it by running:
# ./vncinstall /usr/bin /usr/share/man
Note: this will also install man pages into �/usr/share/man/man1�
If you want to use the Java VNC viewer (Open browser and type pc_name:display#):
Copy the files from the java directory to some suitable installation directory
such as /usr/local/vnc/classes (vncserver will read this path!- don�t change it):
# mkdir -p /usr/local/vnc/classes
# cp java/* /usr/local/vnc/classes
c)
Add to the .profile file (under the user):
vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768
d)
under the user:
Create a /.vnc directory first, we will create the xstartup file inside:
file /.vnc/xstartup:
#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -solid grey
gnome-session <note: if you want to use gnome as the defualt >
#/usr/dt/bin/dtsession <note: if you want to use CDE as the default >
make the 'xstartup' file executable:
# chmod 744 xstartup
*** Sample used for the user: (use the same file for the other users) �it will be created
the first time using it, just change it/add to the following sample:
First time to login will ask to create a password or
Run /export/home/�name�/.vnc/passwd (to add password to login)
If Needed, change ownership on the following 3 if you create them using root user:
/.vnc folder
/.vnc/xstartup
/.vnc/passwd

Daylight Savings time, and how dates are stored internally and displayed

This is probably a question that appears here annually, but I couldn't really find clear answers, so I'll try asking this in my own words:
I'm in the Eastern timezone, and this Sunday, we'll be turning our clocks back an hour at 2:00 AM. That means that accordign to us humans, the time 1:30 AM will occur twice on Sunday.
I've got an Oracle application that runs every 5 minutes around the clock, and it selects records from a certain table whose updated timestamp (TIMESTAMP(6)) is greater than SYSDATE - 5/1440, meaning any record that was updated in the last 5 minutes. Will we have a problem with some records being processed twice on Sunday morning? I'm theorizing that everything will be OK, that internally, Oracle stores DATE fields using something like an epoch which then gets interpreted when we display them. An epoch value will continue to grow each second no matter what “time” it is according to the U.S. Congress.
A simpler way to look at the question might be as follows:
If you store SYSDATE in a DATE column in row “X” at 1:30 AM before the time change, and you store sysdate in row “Y” exactly one hour later, will Oracle say that X’s timestamp is 60 minutes less than Y’s timestamp? All fields that are related to my particular situation are either DATE or TIMESTAMP(6).
We use 11g.

>
That settles that! Thank you! My theory was wrong! I appreciate the help.
>
You may think it settles that but, sorry to burst your bubble, that doesn't really settle much of anything.
One thing that was settled is the answer to this question
>
But are they talking about what you can EXTRACT and DISPLAY from the field or what is actually STORED internally?
>
which is, as Mark stated, they are talking about what is stored internally.
The other thing that was settled is that you will pull the same, or mostly the same, data twice during that one hour. I say 'mostly the same' because of the major flaw your extraction method has to begin with.
>
If you store SYSDATE in a DATE column in row “X” at 1:30 AM before the time change, and you store sysdate in row “Y” exactly one hour later, will Oracle say that X’s timestamp is 60 minutes less than Y’s timestamp?
>
No - they will have the same time since 'one hour later' would have been 2:30 AM but the clock was turned back an hour so is again 1:30 AM. So the second time your job runs for 5 minutes at 1:30 AM it will pull both the original 1:30 AM data AND the data inserted an hour later.
And Oracle will say that data stored in row "Z" exactly 45 minutes later than "X" at 1:30 AM will have a date of 1:15 AM and will appear to have been stored earlier.
Your method of extracting data is seriously flawed to begin with so the daylight savings time issue is the least of your problems. The reason is related to the answer to this question you asked
>
do people avoid using DATE and TIMESTAMP datatypes because they are too simple?
>
That method isn't reliable - that is why people avoid using a date/timestamp value for pulling data. And the more often you pull data the worse the problems will be.
>

>
No - it doesn't do that at all, at least not reliably. And THAT is the why your method is seriously flawed.
The reason is that the value that you use for that DATE or TIMESTAMP column (e.g. SYSDATE) is assigned BEFORE the transaction is committed. But your code that extracts the data is only pulling data for values that HAVE BEEN committed.
1. A transaction begins at 11:59 AM and performs an INSERT of one (or any number) of records. The value of SYSDATE used is 11:59 AM.
2. The transaction is COMMITTED at 12:03 AM.
3. Your job, which runs every five minutes pulls data for the period 11:55:00 AM to 11:59:59 AM. This job will NOT see the records inserted in step #1 because they had not been committed when your job query began execution - read consistency
4. Your job next pulls data for the period 12:00:00 AM to 12:04:59 AM. This job will also NOT see the records inserted in step #1 because the SYSDATE value used was 11:59 AM which is BEFORE this jobs time range.
You have one or ANY NUMBER of records that ARE NEVER PULLED!
That is why people don't (or shouldn't) use DATE/TIMESTAMP values for pulling data. If you only pull data once per day (e.g. after midnight to get 'yesterdays' data) then the only data you will miss is for data where the transaction began before midnight but the commit happened after midnight. Some environments have no, or very little, activity at that time of night and so may never have a 'missing data' problem.
Creating your tables with ROW DEPENDENCIES will store an SCN at the row level (at a cost of about 6 bytes per row) and you can use the commit SCN to pull data.
Just another caveat though - either of those approaches will still NEVER detect rows that have been deleted. So if you need those you need yet a different approach such as using a materialized view log that captures ALL changes.

Daylight savings time and recurring alarms -- FIX IT ALREADY APPLE!

Jeeze Louise! Apple has only known about the iPhone clock being unable to cope with recurrent alarms since LAST September when DST ended in Australia. iOS 4.2 did not fix it by the way. Nice how it wasn't released until -after- the entire Southern Hemisphere had already been late for stuff. Maybe most folks didn't have to work til Monday & caught on that there was a bug, but that's no comfort for we who work on Sundays.
November I was early for work. Today was a different story. What the H-E-- Apple?? It's a CLOCK. None of my previous phones (circa 2006) with recurring alarm features had this problem. Maybe 4.2 "fixed" the fall back issue; guess we'll see this November. But good Lord! Can't they fix it both ways? I shouldn't have to plug in my old geezerly Nokia just to have a reliable alarm twice a year for DST. I'm not really I interested in a "work around" as at the price we pay for iPhones, this ought not be happening!

And I just love how Apple doesn't have any way on their site to actually contact THEM when their customers have a complaint (or even a suggestion) about one of their products. No, we can only call during their office hours, at their convenience, not ours. We are left to ask fellow users for assistance we ought to be getting from the bloody Makers of our items. Who are likely just as ****** off & clueless as we are. Joy.

How to fix daylight savings time switch

Times jumped ahead several weeks ago for daylight savings time, and I dont know whether to change them all manually or not.

thanks for responding ; I just changed all my entries after Sunday manually just now. I'd waited over 36 hours and it hadn't adjusted. Sure hope this doesn't happen everytime there's a time change -- I don;t remember it happening before.

IPhone 6 Plus Daylight Savings Time Problem

My recent upgrade from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 Plus has been generally positive, but today the phone outsmarted me.
The phone seemed to be correctly reset to daylight savings time for most of the day.
Around 6PM I set an alarm for 8PM to remind me to wake my sister from a nap.
A while later the alarm goes off. It didn't seem like two hours. I called my sister and said it was eight,
but alas it was only 7PM.
I went into the alarm settings and sure enough the alarm was still set for 8PM.
My Mac Pro says it is 7PM, and the MacBook says so also.
I am on the central coast of California, in Santa Maria. My provider is Sprint.
My very expensive smart phone seems confused about the time. :-(
Thoughts?

The alarm issue is a known problem and apparently Apple plans on fixing it with iOS 4.2. Here's a link to news items about the alarm issue.

Daylight savings time issue with iphone

When syncing iphone to pc (Vista) and Microsoft Outlook 2007, the time on the iPhone is one hour LATER that it is on the computer source.
It seems that, once again, Apple and Microsoft are at odds with each other and the new rules on Daylight Savings time were never considered.
Anybody have ideas? Seen this? There is NOTHING on the Apple website (also typical!!).

This seems like it might be similar to the problem I was having. Please see the following thread for the solution:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1791145&tstart=0
It worked for me, give it a shot.

All-day calendar entries and daylight savings time

Since changing to daylight savings time, whenever I change the date on an all-day calendar entry, my iPad (but not my iPhone) changes the one-day calendar entry to a two-da calendar entry. How do I correct this?

Dates are represented internally with a long that represents the number of milliseconds past some fixed point. Timezones do not affect this.
I'm assuming you're getting your dates as java.sql.Date
You should then build a Calendar (see GregorianCalendar) and call setTimeZone() with your timezone without daylight savings

Having problems setting alarm time since daylight savings time change today

Since the change to Daylight Savings time this morning, I am unable to set my alarm correctly. I set it to 2:40 a.m. but the time on the alarm shows 3:40 a.m. I have all the proper settings correctly done. I have powered down the phone numerous times, and still the same result. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've cleared the clock cache, powered off the phone and the problem remains the same. I have the Automatic date & time checked, and the same for Automatic time zone (GMT-5:00, Eastern Daylight Time). I have even unchecked both and still get the same result.
What is weird, I can set the alarm for any other time, but unable to set it at 2:40 a.m. When I do this, it sets to 3:40 a.m. Any time that I set from 2:00 a.m. to 2:59 a.m. goes to that time setting in the 3 a.m. time.

Appointments one hour ahead of appointments created in iCloud - both before *and* after the shift from daylight savings time

I am in the CET timezone and my Lumia 925 on 8.1 has consistently shown appointments one hour ahead of appointments created in iCloud - both before and after the shift from daylight savings time here.
My disappointment is compounded by the fact that I patiently waited for October, naïvely thinking the clockchange would solve things... doh.
Look forward to your earliest solution.
Jonny.

There is a separate thread on this subject. It's a bug in Windows Phone 8.1. It is fixed in the upcoming Windows 8.1 Update 1 release (due Nov/Dec 2014). Alternatively, you can install the developer preview (go to Store and search for 'preview for developers'.
You have to register as a developer though (easily done through appstudio.windows.com) or you can wait for your phone vendor (Microsoft / Nokia) to release the 'Denim' upgrade.
For now, I don't know a decent workaround.

AIX 6/7 U.S. Daylight Savings Time bug

I saw announcements this past Friday and yesterday about daylight savings time bug on IBM AIX and thought this news might be important to pass around, as the time changes in the U.S. this coming weekend, and the fix requires a system reboot.
Possible Action Required: System time may not change properly at DST start/end dates on AIX 7.1 and AIX 6.1

> Apparently, this is far more complicated than either of us might think. I've heard that from several people.
I don't want to simply sound argumentative (I'm NOT attacking you in any way here), but without some sort of specific evidence of why this would be a complicated issue to fix, I have difficulty believing this. It's easy to say "it's more complicated than you would think," but where is the evidence of this? Where is the statement from Adobe saying that they know about this issue? Where are the examples from the people you refer to that explain why Lr can't do with dozens of other apps -- many of them FREE -- can do without this problem? Are we really supposed to believe that displaying the date/time correctly is so complicated that it's going to take Adobe over a YEAR to fix it?
We're talking about displaying some text from a standard tag. When it comes to this sort of application, it doesn't get much simpler than this. Lr doesn't have to "calculate" anything -- it just has to display the data in this field. How is this any different than displaying the data from any other field. Why is Lr applying an "adjustment" to a field that doesn't need it? Exactly what is the theory behind this being difficult?
Thanks for your feedback,
Larry

IPhone not picking up Daylight Savings Time

In reviewing last year, I see that there was an issue with iPhones making the time switch to Daylight Savings Time (it appeared to be limited to New Mexico).
Well, it seems to be happening again. My wife and I are in New Jersey and neither of our iPhones made the auto switch. I assume it is an AT&T issue (again) but I'm curious if anybody else is seeing this?
I guess the work around for now is to turn off auto and set it yourself. Irritating.

You may get your wish one day which at the earliest would be sometime in 2010 and if so, then you will be talking to a bunch of idiots at whichever provider for the iPhone as none of the front line folks who answer the phone for technical support issues and questions with cellular providers are overpaid by any means, and some are not going to become a rocket scientist.
The few times I've called AT&T customer or technical support, I have no complaints whatsoever, which has been about the same with every provider I've used.
There are Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile subscribers who say the very same thing at times - "I just got off the phone with a bunch of idiots at - fill in the blank".
