    Why isn't my phone updating with the change to standard time? It is
    set for auto update. If I set it for manual and then set the correct
    standard time, it is ok. But then if I set it back to auto update, it
    reverts to daylight time (a couple of minutes off at that).

    Doesn't the cell provider (Cingular) do all of this stuff
    automatically?

    Mine did the same thing...Treo 650, Moto V400, Samsung 427...all the same.
    Then, when I get up this a.m. (Monday) they are set correctly. Cingular
    must think time changes midnight Sunday or something. That, or just like
    no customer service on Sundays there is no other service on Sundays as
    well.

    I think I've noticed some phones dont update until they receive a call.
    I could be wrong on that though.

    From my experience, traditionally Cingular does not get up to speed until
    the Monday after time change. Just be patient, it will happen.
    If you are needing your time changed on your phone for other reasons, do it
    manually and leave the auto-update feature off for a few days.

    Here in Northern California, the auto update had been completed by the time
    I checked my V551 at about 7:30 am on Sunday.

    We had to turn off our V551s and turn them back on for them to update -
    this was around 9A Sunday.

    TX also, not updated. Samsung 427 GSM. Powered phone off/ on just now,
    now it is correct. You'd think it could update without a reboot.

    The time is off by 40 seconds. It's changing minutes 40 seconds late.

    I thought all this was referenced to something more accurate? GPS?

    CDMA time is precise, a function of network technology, typically referenced
    to GPS. The GSM time signal is a service add-on, and thus the accuracy is
    dependent on the network operator. My guess is that Cingular's time updates
    will get better as network integration is completed.

    Re: Auto update and daylight/standard time

    My phone finally updated sometime this AM (Monday). My wife's phone
    hadn't updated so I cycled the power on/off and it updated. Location
    is Portland OR area.

    But both phones are still 2 minutes behind, as they have been since we
    got them a month ago. I thought GSM was supposed to be the "latest and
    greatest". I can't believe that with all of this high tech around us
    the system operators can't get the time of day correct.

    A lot of it depends on the phone, and the setting for that phone. I've had
    several Nokias, and they seem to only update when you power them on; there's
    a setting for that. The automatic update never seemed to work correctly.

    Then there's my Samsung x426, which doesn't seem to update at all.

    It is alleged that Dick Ballard claimed:

    I disabled the network time setting on my Cingular Treo because it was
    always off by several minutes. This was causing me to be late for
    meetings since I use the calendar and alarm feature to handle this
    stuff. Instead, I sync the time to my computer, which periodically
    syncs to a time server.

    I also couldn't help noticing that the Treo changed itself for the end
    of Daylight Savings, because for some reason, an alarm went off (at 2
    in the morning!) when it happened. I have no clue if it was the Treo
    itself or a clock I installed.
