Russian time zones

Starting this year Russia cancelled daylight saving practice. So there wasn't clock switch on October, 30. However my Nokia E6 and E72 (both firmwares are up to date) handsets switched clocks and changed the timezone GMT+4 to GMT+3 for St.Petersburg/Russia. The timezone must be GMT+4 ever starting this year. How to force Nokia to resolve this issue ASAP?

I travel a lot and keep several timezones of my partners under the World clock tab. Now there's a mess because of the silly bug.

Re: Russian time zones

Nokia employees do read these forums sometimes, so your post may be enough. But I suggest you also contact Nokia support through phone or email, so there is an official record of your complaint. That is the most any end-user can do. :smileysad:

Re: Russian time zones

Exactly. Same problem. Many my friends are struggling terribly with this change in Russia. Shifting to Emirates time or Azerbaijan time does not help. One should patch specifically the Russian Time. Please. This matter kills our travel to other time zones. Nokia staff, please respond.

Re: Russian time zones

Our Company has Nokia mobile phones as a standard mobile manufacturer. In case Nokia will not fix this problem shortly we will change our mind with different manufacturer. I urgently expect reply on this post by Nokia.

Re: Russian time zones

It is not the issue of Nokia (or any other manufacturer), time update is matter of operator. And right phone ajustment of user :smileywink: Just switch 'Automatic time update' to off in menu 'Time and date'. And be sure Moscow time left as 'GSM+4'

Re: Russian time zones

I have all the time the setting off on the "automatic time update" and still the time zone is +3.

I have sync with Outlook and now if add meeting to calendar it comes on outlook 1 hour later than it should be, because the computer is on GMT+4 and phone GMT+3

Re: Russian time zones

Have updated my E6 to Belle version. G

All the same - Nokia still believes Moscow time is GMT+3. Not-At-All! Moscow is in GMT+4 timezonea at least last half-a-year.

It is still not possible to use calendar synchronization - all meeting requests are shifted by one hour! There is no way to have right time for events, and Nokia owners have a lot of problems in trips between different time zones. I have missed several important calls!

 i-defices and Blackberries have solved this last year.

Ok, I see, six months it's not enough for Nokia - how long it will take to make a correction for this?
