My phone's time is synced with AT&T network and it is showing up as if DST ended yesterday (it's supposed to end this coming Sunday, so one week early).

Anybody else is experiencing this?

It's probably my phone then (how exactly can it possibly mess this up, I have no idea).

I thought I'd ask, although I would imagine that if it was AT&T's problem that I would have heard about it yesterday :)

For what it's worth, my AT&T iPhone and my wife's AT&T Nokia are showing correct time today too.

What phone? This may vary phone to phone.
What are your time settings? Use carrier time?
Reboot phone? Do settings persist?

This is a Dell Streak (CM 7.2, Android 2.3.7), with time setting set to 'Automatic - use network provided value'). I've had this phone for two years and never had a problem with it before this.

Rebooted just now and it did fix it. Thanks.

I suspected that it was the phone as it has been acting really weird the past few days. It's been pretty stable but I rebooted it manually two days ago after 500+ hours of up time just because. What happened after the reboot was it completely lost all of the accounts in the setting (main and additional Google accounts, twitter, dropbox, etc) so I had to enter them all manually again.

You didn't travel at all? I've had my phone do weird things with the time when I travel...hours or days later.

I haven't traveled for a while. I did travel a few times this year but never had that problem. As soon as I got out of the plane and turned on the phone, it immediately synced with the local time correctly. I immediately thought of DST because it's so close for it end and it feels like they kept changing the schedule (last week of october, first week of november, etc).

Now that I think about it, it's also possible that it's the tower I'm connected to at home that was misconfigured (I was at work today when I rebooted and got it fixed).
