iPhone 1.1.3 O2 Timezone Fix
Well, I was just doing some more jiggery pokery with the timezone issue that has plagued my iPhone since updating to 1.1.3. If only O2’s network supported Automatic Time, eh? No fix for legitimate UK iPhone users, how nice.
Lucky I’m not 100% legit as you all know. I found /var/db/timezone/localhost symlinking itself to a US/Pacific timezone… “hello”..
chmod 777 /var/db/timezone/
rm -rf /var/db/timezone/localhost
ln -s /usr/share/timezone/Europe/London \
/var/db/timezone/localhost
reboot
Et voila. I’m glad that’s sorted.
on a 1.1.3 iTouch the “timezone” folder is called “zoneinfo”. I’m not sure if this is the same for all 1.1.3 iPhone users as well because I don’t have one
atm to test.
I used the following:
chmod 777 /var/db/timezone/
rm -rf /var/db/timezone/localhost
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific \
/var/db/timezone/localhost
reboot
hope this helps someone.
