iPhone alarms - clock change fail!

edited November 2010 in All Encompassing Trip
It has already happened in Australia and New Zealand and Europe was hit this weekend (most people found out today when their work alarms didn't go off) ... so thought I'd warn those who have the clocks changing to come.

There is an iPhone bug that means although the time on your phone automatically updates if you have a recurring alarm set it will go off an hour late as it is somehow still linked to the old time zone.

Luckily I woke up anyway but I think a lot of people in Europe will be late to work today.

What annoys me is Apple obviously knew about this from Australia and New Zealand so why haven't they fixed it for Europe ... or they have all our e-mail addresses they could have at least let people know :evil:

They may fix it in time for the US market.
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Nope :P :mrgreen: ... the old internal clock woke me up on time! ... did wonder what was going on when the alarm started going off as I walked to the train station though ... then hit google and saw all hell was breaking loose!

    Just thought I'd put a warning out for those who have the clock change coming up ;)

    I hit snooze every 5 minutes from 06:00 until 07:25, when I finally got up. :shock:

    have you thought about setting your alarm for a later time?

    No, because then I'd be late. :lol:

    i have not relied on an alarm clock to wake me in like 10 or 15 years.
    i have a wonderful internal clock
    booom im up
    simple shit
    for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."
