Please Help...
Over the weekend just gone, my N95 automatically changed time back one hour in anticipation of daylight savings. In Melbourne, Victoria daylight savings was increased an extra week and is in actual fact not due till next weekend.
THis is fine, I simply changed my time and put it forward 1 hour to compensate.
My problem is that now, even though both my PC and my N95 are showing the exact same time and are in the same timezone, all of my calendar items are synchronising one hour out of sync... Everything on my phone is being synchronised 1 hour behind the actual time that they are meant to occur (and they are scheduled in outlook on my PC)
It's a little thing but it is really annoying...It really threw me out today because I had appointments that I wasn't sure which time was right - After a while I figured out the phone was out of whack but I was getting reminders earlier for meetings that I almost attended...
How can I fix this?
Simplest thing to do is to leave the handset to obtain time from the network.
The problem is that the N95 is ignoring the timezone offset being passed to it from the network time servers. Telstra finally managed to update their time servers yesterday afternoon - my Nokia E51 automagically fixed itself - but my N95 is still wrong.
I'm leaving my N95's time alone. The time will be out an hour and so will my appointments on the phone, but my calendar entries are still correct on my PC. I can live with that for a week.
Hopefully Nokia will stop being slack sods and get this fixed before October.
I vote - get rid of DST, who the hell does it help ?
In the UK, it's dark at 4pm on Winter solstice.
Just leave it on Summer Time and everybody'll be happy and no bloody jetlag for not travelling anywhere.
school kids.
going out and coming home in the dark is a piss take, crappy when i was doing it. at least it was brighter in the mornings.

Been proven over and again there's absolutely no benefit to kids in terms of the accident rate.
Some years ago, a parliamentary bill was philibustered (blocked with a speaker time-out) after much consultation that showed that everybody (in particular, industry/commerce/government organisations) wanted to ditch DST - but it was blocked by Scottish hill-farming interests.
So much for democracy and the wishes of the majority.
A microscopically tiny percentage of the UK business population manages to outpunch the country because of our antiquated parliamentary system that's long overdue a root 'n branch overhaul to bring it into the 21st (well, even the 19th would do) century.
to be fair though, some counrties have half hour time zones, but this goes east to west not north to south, if you get what i mean.
i know the UK had a south to north difference many years ago of 10 minutes, so London would be 10 minutes ahead of Birmingham and as an hour ahead of Scotland.
we could do that but it would be bloody confusing.

Well, if you're gunna insist on living inside the Arctic Circle, you got to expect short winter days. 😉
I think you're suggesting a return to a pre-GMT era ... great idea.
Perhaps.
Not.
hell no, i's bad enough now, i would not want to be the person who saids oh look this is a good idea.
*stones at ready*
Mate,
I've been doing the Daylight savings changes for our whole org over the last week. I can say to you that the N95 V21 firmware fixes the DST with the new dates.
Make sure you update and everything is fine. Worked for me!!
One thing I liked about the hours changing was that there were some months where I would come out of work and there'd still be daylight... at 9pm! 😊
