Is this a time-zone sensitive bug? Is it only certain versions of <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/ios/">iOS</a> that are experiencing the issue? We don’t know yet, but if your iPhone isn’t on the proper time after DST, here’s a manual fix:</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Manual Fix for iPhone Daylight Savings Time Bug</h2> <ul> <li>Tap on “Settings”</li> <li>Tap to “General”</li> <li>Select “Date & Time”</li> <li>Switch “Set Automatically” to “OFF”</li> <li>Now Reboot the iPhone</li> <li>Go back through these settings and switch “Set Automatically” to ‘ON’</li> </ul> <p>Following those instructions your iPhone should correct the time itself, but you may want to set a backup alarm tonight just in case the bug persists.</p> <p>The iPhone has inexplicably been plagued by multiple <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/06/the-iphone-daylight-savings-time-alarm-bug-and-how-to-fix-it/">daylight savings bugs</a> over the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/31/iphone-alarm-bug-prevents-alarm-clock-activating-after-new-years-eve/">past year</a>, each time sending the iPhone-dependent internet into an uproar as alarms go off late or early. <span id="more-13811"></span> The picture above (via <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/catone">@catone</a>) shows the problem affecting a user in Texas. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vuQEyZU1-gBgT3eprg4FMwpGtBc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vuQEyZU1-gBgT3eprg4FMwpGtBc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vuQEyZU1-gBgT3eprg4FMwpGtBc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vuQEyZU1-gBgT3eprg4FMwpGtBc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZBaSQwzvX5c:itef8LfVrJM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZBaSQwzvX5c:itef8LfVrJM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=ZBaSQwzvX5c:itef8LfVrJM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZBaSQwzvX5c:itef8LfVrJM:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=ZBaSQwzvX5c:itef8LfVrJM:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZBaSQwzvX5c:itef8LfVrJM:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZBaSQwzvX5c:itef8LfVrJM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/ZBaSQwzvX5c" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
