Alarm problem

kawanimalhouse · Mar 30, 2011

Ever since Daylight savings time, my alarm goes off an hour earlier. I've tried deleting and resetting the alarms, shutting the phone down and restarting it, but nothing seems to work. I downloaded a new app for an alarm but it's sucking the life out of the battery. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a quick fix for it? Thanks

Ok, I have this problem as well. Interesting enough, it is not for all times, just my regular 6am morning one that goes off at 5am. If i set it for 7am, it rings at 7am. 6:15 rings at 5:15. 5:59 rings at 4:59. Just weird and pretty frustrating to say the least. Looking for a solution as well.

Didn't work. I still haven't upgraded to latest iOS, maybe that will fix it.

Known issue with Apple.
Resolved less than a month ago worldwide with OS update and DST software update.
Issue was with daylight savings and alarms that KEPT their correct time even though the clock was changed by 1 hour.

Any further issues after update:

Confirm your country region is correct
Delete all existing alarms
Restart
Set alarm again

Any further issues, an entire reset of your iPhone and backup/restore would be required. Let's not go down that track as yet!

Please always insure your iPhone is up to date before asking for support.
