Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine sure didn't... (and yes "DST Zone" was selected)

I just checked, and mine changed. I do have the Status Bar clock installed.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

I haven't checked mine yet this morning, but I was wondering if it was going to work correctly or not, since this DST start date is still fairly new. Didn't know if the N800 firmware had that particular patch.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine made the change. FWIW, I'm still using 2007 OS.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine made the change. I am using 2008 OS :)

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine made the change (both status bar clock and the built in one).

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine did not make the change, and now the time zones are messed up between places that observe the change and those that don't. I had to update the time manually...Not sure how to fix that...

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

I've an N810 with the latest OS update but it did not make the DST change last night on the clock applet on the display. However when I went into the control panel and selected "Date and time" (to verify that DST was indeed selected, which it was) I noticed that the time there reflected the changed DST time. I then exited and saw the desktop clock applet jump ahead an hour.

Try it. Maybe it will do the same for you.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

no change, what a pain in the butt!

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

My n810 adjusted to the new time automatically here

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

OK on the switching to DST here (N800).

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

My N800 did NOT make the DST change automatically. Like cubeist, I corrected the time manually, and now my "Destination time" in other time zones is messed up (in the wrong direction, even - e.g., I moved my time ahead one hour manually, but now the Destination time zone to the east which should be 3 hours ahead is showing 4 hours ahead rather than 2 or 3 hours ahead). I'm running OS2008. Looks like Nokia messed this one up big time.

I'm going to hazard a guess that the reason is because both my home city and destination city are in Canada, and whatever half-wit Nokia had implement the DST update did not bother to check which other countries besides the USA are using the same new DST dates.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

I too am in Canada so that could be it...However I think my device was in offline mode last night so perhaps if I leave it online overnight tonight it will "catch up"...

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Automaticly on my 2008 OS and 2007HE OS.....

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

My N800 and my Palm both switched, but my ATT phone still hasn't changed. Somebody needs to tell ATT about DST.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

I think phones in general don't switch over. My phone didn't (Samsung m300) and my girlfriend's Tmobile phone didn't switch either.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Intersting. My OS2008 N800 did not switch until I opened & closed the clock application.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

My phone did (samsung a990) my N800 did not

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine didn't switch automatically either (N800/OS2008). I went in manually and now my timezones are messed up now too. The DST box was checked also.

T-mobile is lame and never switches when it's supposed to. My Verizon phone updated correctly, must be part of their deal with the NSA.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

It is definitely related to Canadian DST zones. I tried setting my city to Denver and it switched over fine... I'll just leave it on Denver for now since it is in the same time zone.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Well, mine did, however my battery had to charge for over 16 hours to get a full charge today. :(

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

So, when did you canucks annex New York? My time didn't update automatically either.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Its all part of our world domination master plan. We'll have to terminate you now. :)

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

My N800 clock did but the Alarm also jumped up an hour. That was dumb.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

N800/OS2008, switched automatically.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine works

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine did not change either, also in Canada.

So, we change it now and then in three weeks time it changes again on its own?

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Interesting... I'm in Canada, and my N800/OS2008 was powered off during the "spring forward". When I powered it on today the clock applet showed the wrong time (one hour back), but the date/time control panel showed the correct time. Maybe it's just the clock applet?

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

That was my experience. The clock applet showed the wrong time, but when I went to change the time by hand, the tool for changing the time showed the right time, so I hit cancel.

An alarm I had set went off according to the clock applet time rather than the time-changing tool time. So I went to the time-changing tool, didn't change the time, but didn't hit cancel either - I hit ok, and everything started working correctly.

I think it might require a reboot, setting the time, or some other event that triggers the clock applet to reinitialize to bring the two clocks into sync.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Nope, none of that helps here.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

FYI from the maemo-users list:

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Just did this myself... hit OK instead of cancel in the date/time control panel, and now the clock applet looks OK. Looks like the clock applet needs to do more checking during initialization.... thanks!

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Same ol' here.

j.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine didn't either.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Nope, that certainly doesn't work for Vancouver Canada. I think the explanation that OS2008 is built with libraries 2 years out of date is the correct one.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

Mine adjusted automagically.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

It seems that time zones in the u.s. work, but Canadian ones do not. Changing my home city to Seattle displays the correct time, Vancouver which is also in the Pacific time zone is then one hour out but London England is correct.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

It's more than just Canada. I have New York as my home city and "Daylight saving zone" checked, but I had to change the hour manually.

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

What seems to work:

Install new timezones files manually
sudo gainroot
cd /media/mmc2 # or any fs location you can get to

# in web-browser
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2008a.tar.gz

# save into /media/mmc2

tar -xzvf tzdata2008a.tar.gz

#update America timezones
zic America

zic backwards #don't worry about error messages

# set timezone manually; do "ls" in sub-dir America/ to see what's available

tzconfig America/Vancouver

# test
date # should show PDT (pacific daylight savings time)


Worked for me, I am running ntpd. It may take a while until ntpd resets the clock

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?
 

That should be independent of DST (or timezone), the clock always runs at UTC - the timezone stuff only changes the translation from UTC to your timezone/DST for the actual display (and dates with 'ls -l' etc.)

(This is quite unlike a Windows box where the hardware clock is actually changed with the DST turnover - quite insane. It's possible to run Linux in that mode too, presumably to ease dual-boot handling, but it's not common at all to do so.)
