This is not the first time my phone has screwed up! It’s done it every time we have daylight savings time changes. You would think they could this problem before making an I Pad 6, 7, or 8! I dought it! I don’t have these problems with Android! Much more user friendly!

[...] change at all. This was after the year prior had a different issue, where the alarm clock went off an hour later than it was set, and that carried further several days until the clock was manually [...]

I found a solution that makes all alarms work as they should…
Go to settings
Set date/time
Turn off auto set time
Make your time zone London, Eng
Manully change time to the correct time.
….thats it . Just remember at the next dst to manully adj like u do every other clock

Hope this helps

The only fix I have found (and Ive tried them all) to the reoccurring alarm bug is to set your alarm 1 hour behind.
for example, if your alarm is normally set to go off at 5am, because of this bug, you need to set your alarm to go off at 6am if you want it to go off at 5am. I know it sounds confusing but thats the best fix i have found other than setting the alarm each day, everyday.

Android does not have these problems. Once again the Droid is superior to the iPhone.

I hate waking up an hour early for no reason. I have also tried this all and none of it is working. Ugh, Apple, C’mon. Get your act together!

I’ve tried all of the above with no correct response. Mine has always been set to 24hr format. I’m running 4.1 os, is there anyone running 4.2 os with this issue? It takes to long to update or I would have already tried this.

Mine does the same… I set an alarm for 4:10 am, and it goes off at 3:10 am…I also have one set for 5:05 am, that never goes off. I have deleted them all and created new ones, I have done a hard reset on the phone, I have tried the airplane mode thing… nothing works. But if I set a one time alarm for 5 minutes from now, it works. So the glitch is in reoccuring alarms. So I think I will try just setting a new one time alarm every night, pain in the a$$ but better than no alarm!

I have tried all of the above, nothing has worked. Still wakes me up an hour early (I guess that’s better than late) I have now reset my clock to the 24 hr format, maybe it will confuse itself. Just in case, I downloaded another alarm app…..stay tuned
