This Problem was reported in New Zealand and Australia earlier last month when their clocks changed from one time zone to another and the same bug is now affecting European Customers now Apple know about this issue and a patch is supposed to be added to iOS 4.2 next month.

This issue will be resolved by the 8th Nov, the phones alarm will recognise the USA time change this weekend - try manually setting ur date to next week, then setting alarm as required - should have no problems... Tho Monday mornings extra time in bed was nice

Probably an american programmer who presumed the whole world changed clocks when the US does (of course the US = the world) and hard coded their DST dates...

As a posted further up, surely the simplest method is comparing two timestamps, regardless of whether DST is in effect or not. |

Of course. Surely the alarm should sound when alarmtime = realtime and not introduce any added complications. If the realtime corrects itself, then the alarmtime should sound, no need to even introduce dst into the equation since that should simply be a RTC adjustment.
It beggars belief how it can be overcomplicated and as it seems to have been it is not surprising it can go wrong, Whatever happened to KISS? |

Surprise surprise, the US goes into DST and it works.
Lame coding. |

Is this linked to the problems I'm having with calendar alerts? I've got my calendar synced with Outlook, and all the appointments are one hour out. I've managed to fiddle this by telling the calendar that I'm in Paris, but the alerts are seemingly not affected by this work-around and are thus all wrong? Has this been fixed now the US has gone DST?
Also, this is a bit off-topic, but still calendar related: is there a way to make any notes you add in Outlook appear by the appointment on the iPhone? It used to sync across when I had a phone that ran Windows Mobile 6. Seems a bit of a retrograde step if the all-singing-all-dancing iPhone doesn't support this... |

Ok so am I correct in thinking that the alarm issues are now sorted for the moment, now the US have adjusted for DST?
My repeated alarm is still set for 5:15am to go off at 6:15am, and was still working that way this morning. |

Delete the alarm and re-create it and it should work.

My iphone went to the right time at clocks change then went back again so I had to set it manually.
