Default Automatic

:lol: Well laptops were on top of it. As were the pocket pc and the smart phones. The clock radio in the bedroom also did it's duty. The V.C.R. in the front room as well. The house phones were up to par too. The only items that needed to be hand changed were the phone in kitchen, V.C.R. in bedroom, clock in spare bedroom, clock in bathroom, microwave, and stove. Oh and the wanabe antique clock on the fireplace mantle.

Janak, I am totally ignorant about this change to the DST schedule so please shed some more light on it. Do you have any links to share? Also I cannot think about the possible problems other than ofcourse the air traffic control.

My i-Mate Sp5 did not change time automatically, I guess because it was off at the time. But still, one would think it would adjust as soon as I turned it on this morning?

Default Problems...

I, surprisingly, had problems with my Smartphone changing from DST properly. I was still awake around 2 AM (DST), and my Smartphone did tell me it had adjusted the time for the DST change. All was good then.

I set my alarm for this morning, but I woke up almost an hour later. (Good thing I didn't have anywhere important to be.) I assumed I either set my alarm wrong or just slept through the sound. I checked my Smartphone though, and it was another hour early, and had the same prompt as I saw early after 2AM. :? I have no idea how or why my Smartphone would adjust twice, but I just manually set it ahead one hour to the correct time.

I definitely didn't expect this problems. All of my other gadgets worked fine (although I haven't even checked my Pocket PC... not using it much now that I have my Smarphone). The only clock I had to set manually was on my microwave.

One of you had it change twice, another not at all. We should stop this silly messing with time. I wonder how much money is lost with people not making it to work and then nobody seems to be able to drive right the Monday after. It messes with our circadian rhythm.

I agree... but instead, our government decides to mess with us even more and change when we switch to/from DST. :roll:
