At&T Tilt: DST to Std Time change: All prior date Appt Times got moved back one hour!

Today (Sunday, Nov 4th) here in the USA, we switched back from Daylight Saving to Standard time.

That said, both my PC (windows XP) and phone (AT&T Tilt running Windows Mobile 6), include the updated software feature which automatically moved the clock back one hour. I checked and confirmed this took place on both my PC & on my phone (AT&T tilt).

For whatever reason beyond me, all my phone's PRIOR to today's (Nov 4th) calendar appt 'times' now appear as having occured one hour earlier. That said, all appt times from today (Nov 4th) FORWARD were not altered, and remain correct on my phone's calendar.

I then went back to my PC (Outlook 2003) to check the calendar appt entry times both prior to Nov 4th and after, and observe that all original appt times retain the original correct appt times.

I performed an active sync between my PC (Outlook 2003) & AT&T tilt, yet even after syncing, on the Tilt, all appt times prior to Nov 4th still appear one hour earlier than they actually occured while Outlook 2003 continues to show them all occurring at the correct time (one hour later).

I'm beginning to suspect the problem may be some sort of Windows Mobile 6 or AT&T tilt phone glitch (bug?) mistakenly moving (prior to Nov 4th) appt times one hour earlier. Has anyone else here experienced anything similar?

Ok, What can I do now to resolve the issue so both my phone's & Outlook 's calendar appts times (prior to November 4th) match again?

Advice, feedback & assistance greatly appreciated.

Ok folks. Considering the lack of replies, I'm surprised nobody else here encountered the same problem I did . Luckily, a very helpful guy at HTC telephone technical support was able to solve the problem for me.

He recommended changing my phone's local (home) time zone (Pacific -8 GMT) to another (Eastern -5 GMT) and then switching it back to my local time zone again. Now ALL my calender's appointment times (both before & after Nov 4) display correctly again. HTC t& their technical support staff rock! Thanks HTC.

Ok, Hope the solution posted might help anyone else here who may experienced this problem following the Windows Mobile 6's auto change from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time too.

This didn't happen to me with my HTC s630.

What did happen to me.....

My phone went from 2am to 1am correctly but when another hour passed and it hit 2am again, it set is back at 1am AGAIN.

I had to manually fix it.
