Is Your BlackBerrys Clock Is All Messed Up?

April 7, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 3 Comments

Since yesterday I’ve gotten at least 14 emails asking why the clock on your BlackBerry is off by an hour so I figured I would answer everyone with a quick post.

If the alarm clock on your device woke you up an hour earlier yesterday morning than what it normally does it means that you need to apply the Daylight Savings Time patch that came out last year appropriately nameed the DST 2007 Patch for BlackBerry.

Remember last year how the government decided to start Daylight Savings Time two weeks later than usual and end it two weeks earlier? Well, the DST patch is what makes your BlackBerry, which automatically adjusts for time change, aware of the new dates. Your VCR and the clock on your thermostat are probably all messed up too.

Download the patch here, install it, and you will be good to go on your BlackBerry. You are probably SOL on our thermostat and VCR.

    Can I rant that I have to use IE to install the Patch? As background, I did install the patch via OTA way way back, but the OTA link I can’t find anywhere anymore. Wouldnt’ that be the preferred way to install the patch, and make sure I have the most up-to-date version? Back to my rant!

    Why IE? If you go to the Blackberry.com link to apply the DST link with FireFox you get the message you need IE 5.5 or higher? I didn’t know that RIM was in bed with Microsoft, but I guess now I can give up any hope that Linux USB drivers for Blackberry devices will never been seen, and I JUST signed the online petition for that last week too! Why RIM, why??
