Bug: Smart Connect & Daylight Savings

AdLentis — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 21:46:28 GMT

Oops...

Today, my Z1 compact switched off mobile data & wifi an hour early... it seems it still thinks the current time is 23:30 hours, although the display clearly states that it is 22:30 hours!

Not very beautiful, even a little ugly. I just hope the alarm clock will go off at the right time tomorrow. I will see... I am guessing a reboot will fix it anyhow.

Same here on Xperia Z3, but in addition it keeps looping between start and end action until I disable the event in the app. Well done, haven't seen such interesting bug in a while.

Same here with my Xperia Z2. It seems like Smart Connect (v5.7.11.130) can't handle daylight saving time. My phone sound is normally set to be silent everyday on 00:00h. But now on 23:00h, Smart Connect thinks it's already 00:00h, so it switches into my night mode. Than suddenly he understands it's not 00:00h yet, so it switches back on again. Than the entire process goes into a loop.

@Sony: Please fix this bug! I never had this problem, until this last update.

Hi Guys,

Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Have you tried removing the current event and then adding the event again?

Yes. Same behavior after removing old and creating new identical event. Same effect after rebooting the phone as well.

Are you able to clear the data from the Smart Connect app and then retry the process.

Menu > Settings > Apps > All > Smart Connect > Clear Data

Clearing the data seems to have fixed the issue, at least for now. Verified by creating new event starting after short time and ending after a bit more. Thanks for quick response.

Reinstalling the app has helped to solve the problem.

I had this too on Xperia M2. Nothing worked - deleted and recreated event, deleted and reinstalled the app. It's working again today tho - more than 14hours later - perhaps something to do with the time server?

Smart Connect continues to have issues each time the clocks change, which they did last night here in the UK. Every time clocks change, smart connect has issues. All settings 1hr out despite fact that time settings on phone all correct. Despite clearing data (which clears ALL events/settings on SC), it is STILL 1hr off - just tested, a change set to happen at 11am didn't happen till 12noon. (The event settings clearly state 11.00).

As evidenced by assorted comments on various forums etc, including this one, this time issue with smart connect has been going on for some years. Users shouldn't have to clear data, redo settings etc, or even wait a few days for the system to sort itself out. Once your events are set, that should be the end of it - no tweaking each time the clocks change!

(Yes, all other settings/calendar etc) in my phone are working as they should be and have updated!)
