My celly is reading 12:30 here when it's actually 1:30. There's no manual time setting on this phone, it all comes from the tower.

Is anyone else having this problem?

The tech people over there must suck.

yea i watched my verizon phone roll to 3am right after 1:59am. :)
my roomies Sprint phone? no time change period
and my windows pc? no change, bastards are microsoft haven't made a patch yet eh?

edit: nevermind, i just checked and there are like... 10 updates waiting for my to install. i tell windows to download all the latest patches but to tell me to install them. i normally ignore it when windows states that there are updates waiting to be installed. lol

Of course MS made a patch. You actually have to INSTALL the patch for it to work though...

My Sprint phone changed over seamlessly.

My phone had the incorrect time when I woke up. I turned it off and back on & it came up with the right time.

Mine auto-updated. I would have forgotten if it hadn't, since my computers don't have automatic DST enabled (not that it would help since Congress changed DST...), and my watch is off...

Sprint made the switch over just fine with their phones.

almost all my clocks are atomic so i don't have to do anything. My cell and computer updated no problems. just had to change the clock on the stove, alarm clock, and microwave.

fyi, if your phone isn't showing the right date just do a restart, should be fine :)

My DVR freaked me out.

My wall clock was still sayin' 10, but the DVR said 11 and then I remembered........."Oh ya, it's that stupid flippin', braniac/somebody had to go & fvck things up- earlier DST today".............:p

our atomic clock is having huge problems.. it never adjusted.. so I tried to reset it, and it still hasn't picked up the right time (granted, it says up to 72hrs, but it's never taken more than maybe 2-3hrs to adjust before).

We have some smartset clocks too... which I had *thought* were atomic, but misunderstood it.

Oh, and all our cell phones were good on restart (Verizon).

None of our Cingular phones updated.
