    SAMSUNG Galaxy 3: I live on the NSW/QLD border, the current switch to daylight saving forces me to turn off automatic Time zone and Time as my Alarm which set to NSW time will go off again in QLD when it gets there to the same time. Are ther any other solutions to this issue.?

      Hi Helmut Leitner,
      Thanks for coming.
      I've done lot of search to find a relevant solution for you, but what I've find is nothing. I've read on several forums, there are lot of people who live in border line also experiencing the same problem with you, and unfortunately they said that they can't do nothing to fix it. So, I really sorry because I can't help you more.

    I have the problem that today changed the time zone on EST, and until yesturday EST had the same time that in Puerto Rico (which is where i live) but since the time changed in EST i have an hour ahead on my phone. I set up manually and the time is now correct on the top of my phone but on the time widget is still on EST (one hour ahead). Any idea? i tried taking off the widget and placed it again but still wrong!
