I thought cell phones automatically changed times with Daylight Savings. Mine didn't. It only cost $100, so perhaps it'd only the expensive phones that do?
I can't figure it out on my Samsung A0S. Thoughts?
My date and time are on auto update, but my alarm didn't go off at 2:30am. When I looked at it at 3, it still said 30 minutes to go, but I actually overslept by 30 minutes. Any reason why?
@TigerLilly02 DST changes occur at 2 am. So at 2 am the clock on your phone changed the time from 2 am to 3 am. I'm guessing that something odd happened because the time you set for the alarm never really occurred this morning. Anything from 2:00 am to 2:59 am never occurred.
Yes, that makes sense. However, when I woke up, it said that my alarm had 30 minutes left before my alarm went off. I appreciate your response. It still has me stumped
I think that maybe the alarm is determined by the amount of time from when you set it. For example, let's say at midnight you set an alarm for 2:30 am. That is 2 hours and 30 minutes away. Because of the DST change, 3 am this morning was only 2 hours after midnight. So if it was set for 2 hours and 30 minutes from midnight, it would ring at 3:30 am this morning.
I'm posing this as a possible explanation. But I don't agree that this is best way to code an alarm.
There is no good programmatic way to handle an alarm in the 2-3 am time span during DST.
