AT&T Describes How to Fix iPhones in Arizona Whose Time Fell Back by One Hour on Nov. 7
Posted: 07 Nov 2010 04:39 PM PST
While Arizona did not observe the Sunday end of Daylight Saving Time, some iPhones in the state configured with default settings did, falling back an hour along with those in the Pacific time zone.
April, an AT&T customer service representative, reported that the issue involves the configuration of time zone support in the iPhone's Mail, Contacts and Calendars settings. By default, time zone support is on and set to Cupertino.
April provided the following instructions for disabling time zone support, so that this information can be obtained from AT&T's network:
These steps will work for sighted users who are not running the VoiceOver screen reader for the blind. Instructions for blind users follow.

Tap Settings on the Home screen.

Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Tap Time Zone Support.

Tap the button to turn Time Zone Support off.

If you are a blind iPhone user who relies on Apple's built-in VoiceOver screen reader, follow these steps to turn off time zone support:

Press the Home button to move to the Home screen.

Flick left or right to locate the Settings icon. This will be found on the first page of most iPhones.

Double tap Settings.

Flick right several times to locate Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Double tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Flick right until you locate "Time Zone Support, On."

Double tap "Time Zone Support, On." You are now in the time zone support window.

Flick to the right a couple of times to find a button labeled "Time Zone Support, On."

Double tap the button to turn this feature off. The iPhone will now pull all its time zone information from the cellular network.

Once the time zone support setting has been deactivated, close the settings screen by pressing the Home button and test the time change by following these steps:

Press and hold down the Sleep button on the top of the iPhone for two seconds.

Double tap the Power Off button. Single tap the button if you are not using VoiceOver. The iPhone will announce it is shutting down.

Wait 5 or 10 seconds.

Hold down the Sleep button for two or three seconds to start the iPhone.

Allow 10 to 15 seconds for the iPhone to fully power up. If you use VoiceOver, its active status will be announced.

The iPhone starts in a locked state, with the current time shown. Flick to the left a couple of times to hear it announced. Flick to the right twice and double tap to unlock the iPhone and go on your merry way.

As always, comments, corrections and all constructive feedback is useful.

. . . whatever you do, do all to the glory of God —1 Corinthians 10:31

Kairos #50 just finished at Angola and by all accounts it was wonderful, a true hilltop experience. I did not take part but I know what the participants are going through this week.

In the Scriptures, the great miracle of the incarnation slips into the ordinary life of a child; the great miracle of the transfiguration fades into the demon-possessed valley below; the glory of the resurrection descends into a breakfast on the seashore. This is not an anticlimax, but a great revelation of God.

We have a tendency to look for wonder in our experience. It's one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us. If we are not looking for halos, we at least want something that will make people say, "What a wonderful man of prayer he is!" or, "What a great woman of devotion she is!" If you are properly devoted to the Lord Jesus, you have reached the lofty height where no one would ever notice you personally. All that is noticed is the power of God coming through you all the time.

The true test of a saint's life is not successfulness but faithfulness on the human level of life. We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life "hidden with Christ in God" in our everyday human conditions (Colossians 3:3). Our human relationships are the very conditions in which the ideal life of God should be exhibited.

To all my brothers and sisters, moving down from the hilltop, I pray for you now as I did during the weekend.

Continue to be blessed and to bless.

Nick
