Time glitch hits phones, computers and flights!
The Herald Sun says that six flights out of Adelaide were delayed by up to 1 1/2 hours because the Qantas check-in system had reverted to standard time a week too early, in addition to a mobile phone glitch leaving many owners confused about the correct time yesterday as handsets automatically updated to pre-daylight saving time – one week early.
A spokeswoman for Nokia Australia said yesterday some mobile phone models bought last year or earlier would have the wrong calendar settings.
“We work to capture all daylight saving time from around the world and to have them hard-wired into the phone,” said Nokia spokeswoman Louise Ingram.
“Unfortunately, daylight saving dates sometimes change and that’s where the problem occurs.”
Daylight saving was extended by one week in Victoria this year, ending on April 6.
But the inbuilt mobile phone calendar on some models had daylight saving ending on the usual date of March 30 and automatically put the clock back an hour yesterday morning, leaving some phone users an hour behind.
She said phone users should simply adjust their phone clock settings manually for the last week of daylight saving time.
Hundreds of websites and computer systems also recorded daylight saving errors.
Daylight saving begins in Victoria in October.
