Did Your Device Change To DST Automatically?
Here in the US, DST took effect early this morning. I have had a number of devices over the years and more often than not, one or more did not change, forcing me to do it manually. I am pleased to report that the 4 Windows Mobile 6 devices currently taking up residence in the Hansberry household all dutifully switched to DST. I am sad to say my iPAQ 2210 did not, and I suspect it is because of the change the US made last year. I think I have done a hard reset on it since last spring and now I cannot find the WM2003 compatible fix anywhere. Any pointers would be appreciated. It seems MS took all of them down prior to the Feb 2008 patch, and that only works for WM5 and above. My 2210 is my trusty alarm clock, so I need to get it fixed. If your device failed and you had all patches available that you know of, please post the model and what OS is running on it.

On a slightly different note, it's worth mentioning that the DST switchover this half year has changed for a lot of countries.
The US and Canada switched clocks this weekend. Western Australia and parts of Europe switch clocks on the last Sunday of this month, with eastern parts of Australia and New Zealand the week after. What a mess. 8O
I'll be watching my devices like a hawk in a few weeks time.

My tytn ii switched just fine however my wife's and mother's cingular 8125s did not. I has enabled the timezone in the phone settings on my wife's phone and simply powering of the phone radio and turning it back on made her device update from the cellular network. I enabled the tab on my mother's device today so hopefully she won't have the problem next time around.

I've never trusted those "network updates" for time chages. What happens if you get off of a plane in a different timezone? If it changes the clock, all of your appointments will be out of whack because they were set in a different timezone. If it updates the timezone, then that would be pretty cool.

I had a weird thing happen with my AT&T Tilt today. I had the message that the clock had been updated for DST, but it actually hadn't! I added the hour, but hope it doesn't magically add another some time when I'm not expecting it. :?

My T-Mobile Wing did the same thing, so I gave it a soft reset and everything was fine after the reboot.
Reset your Tilt and see if it adds the hour now.

I worry about that as well. It says in the option that is updates the time AND the timezone but i have yet to actually test this. I don't get out of this timezone very often.

My Sprint HTC Touch SAID it updated whenI turned it on (9a) but didn't actually change until 11a?! Is that a WM6 or Sprint issue?
