I switched to CM7 on Wednesday, and now the clock is off by one hour. it thinks eastern time is gmt -4, not gmt -5, and when I manually set it, it switches back.

Do you have automatic checked in settings--> Date & Time, that works for me.
Does your GPS work properly?
Yeah, it's checked, and I have a GPS lock when I'm outside. It's kind of an odd issue, but I think I know what the problem is: most clocks are set by GMT and our devices just calculate the time based on time zone (i.e. GMT -5:00 is US Eastern Time). For some reason though, my phone has eastern set to be GMT -4:00...

Eastern time currently is -4:00 GMT due to daylight savings time. There is an app that may solve your problem, It syncs with Atomic time. https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.org.amip.ClockSync

Every once in awhile I will create an appointment for a specific time on a specific date. Then, later on I will notice that the start and end times are shifted ahead exactly one hour. For instance, an appointment from 1:00p - 2:00p is shifted to 2:00p to 3:00p.
I am using WM2003, the latest and greatest T-Mobile ROM.
Has anyone seen this issue or have any suggestions on what might be causing this?
Thanks!

Mate, are you sure that this is not related to either day light saving or a different time zone setting?
Yes, I'm sure. Both the PocketPC and my desktop computer are set for the same time zone, and both are set to use Daylight Saving Time.
The problem happens randomly to different appointments. Today I had an appointment set to go from 12 noon to 8pm. For the last week, it showed up correctly on my calendar.
Today it was correct until I happened to notice at about 5pm that the appointment had shifted to 1pm to 9pm.
Another appointment I have for a few weeks from now moved from 9am to 10am.
Very weird.
I have exactly the same problem. I noticed it happens more frequently arond the period of DST change. Very weird and annoying. If anyone could help, this would be great. Thanks
I've a qtek 8500 and live in the EST zone and have the phone set to that time zone. When I travel say to San Jose and enable the automatic update feature everything gets way screwed up. By that I mean it will be hours off, now I can reset the time zone to say Turkey and the phone resets to the correct time but everything in outlook then gets reclocked to a different time reflecting the difference between Athens and here. It's maddening & I know just disable the auto feature which is what I do but I've got this cheapo Sony phone that this never happens to. Any ideas about how to fix this?

I think you're describing a "feature" of Windows Mobile - appointments shift to reflect the time in your current timezone. Windows assumes you set appointments in your home timezone for the time they occur at home, and that it should shift them for the current timezone. This is great unless you schedule a meeting for when you're travelling....
example: at home in EDT today you put on your calendar a 10am next Wednesday meeting with your PDT colleagues in SJC. When you fly to SJC on Monday, and the phone sets itself to PDT you'll see the appointment at 7am! Windows thought you meant 10am EDT because you put it in that way.
If the meeting is 10am in PDT, you'll have to put it on your calendar at 1pm - as that's what time it will be in EDT for a 10am PDT meeting. That's pretty confusing when someone calls to confirm - "our meeting is at 10am, right?" and you look on your calendar at see 1pm. The best advice I've seen is to simply put the times in the description - or to never change the device's timezone
For many years I did the latter, just changed the time on the device and kept the appointments from shifting. I've recently given up on that and started doing the "set adjusted time" method....
YMMV of course!

I work and live in different time zones, I noticed the atrix doesnt update the time unless I turn off the wireless and then re-enable it. Is this supposed to be normal?
settings -> Date and time
is automatic checked? how often are you on wifi, and how often on mobile data? I'm not sure it gets a constant check when on wifi.

The time is technically correct except for it is an hour less than it should be. It is set to automatic, im on wifi 20% of the day the rest mobile data. If I turn on airplane mode then turn it back off the correct time is displayed. I think they may have a bug
I travel for business quite and go between time-zones. I also find same issue happening with my new Atrix phone. If I turn the airplane mode on and off several times, time correct based on time zone I am in. Automatic date and time setting checked on.
Hi Everyone,
Atrix did not adjust automatically the time fthis morning. Is anybody else experiencing this issue?
In date and time the 'automatic' settings is checked.
I had to reboot for the time to be automatically updated.
Thank you.
Alarm went off an hour earlier than all the manually set clocks.
No glitch here. In Indiana on an eastern time zone.
I travel for work and the Atrix has worked fine for me in different time zones. My captivate failed to auto-switch one time though - so i think it has something to do with tower signals more then phone.
I reported this at launch, Im in indiana and live in CST but work in EST. This phone has not correctly changed timezones once, and didnt even update to the correct time for daylight savings time yesterday. The only way i've found to fix is either turn on/ turn off airplane mode or cycle power.
I've been having an issue that I thought was due to the ROM I'm running (dastin1015's CM10.1 Wild For The Night - Jun 21) until my dad reported it on his handset (not a smartphone, some Eriksson flip phone thing). The network-based time changes to an hour behind the actual time, with relative frequency.
When I view the clock/alarm settings it shows our timezone (EST) as GMT -4 instead of GMT -5, and also implies the phone thinks I'm not located in this timezone. It will display a "home" time (which is the correct time) as it does if you are traveling outside of your time zone, and display the current network-based time as an hour behind the real time.
Someone on the Sprint community forum mentioned that toggling airplane mode once (on and off again) should temporarily fix the issue. It does, but almost always, the phone will revert to the incorrect time a few minutes later.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to fix it? I use my phone as my alarm clock and I need the time to be accurate.
I have experienced this, but only on the stock unrooted ROM. I have been running Dastin's WFTN for longer than I can remember, and haven't had this problem with it. Sorry, I know that isn't very helpful to finding a solution for you, just thought I would confirm that I have seen the problem before.

Go to settings-time and date, and disable nework time. That way you can set any time zone you want

I am noticing a weird issue with my HTC One and my Facebook calendar appointments. Because there is no specific setting about daylight savings time the phone changes Central time to GMT-5 instead of GMT-6. My appointments from Facebook now are an hour off. If I force my phone to another GMT-6 location they are correct. I do not want to have to manually worry about my time zone.

you have auto date/time/timezone on, correct?

I do have it on. I think the issue has to do with the fact that the HTC One changes the GMT time for daylight savings time instead of just adjusting the clock. Facebook sees that GMT time as -5 instead of -6 and changes the event times.
