Bug Description
Today (29/03/2015) at 7:59 in the morning I've noticed the clock on my bq phone shows 6:59. I remember setting the time zone to "Edinburgh" when setting the phone. Today, when I opened the clock app I've seen this [1]. You can also notice that time for Warsaw is correct. Then I went to time and date settings. It displayed "UTC+0". I set "Time zone:" to Edinburgh again. After that it showed "UTC+1" and time was correct.
I must add that yesterday I set alarm on another device (Android phone) which thankfully woken me up on the right time. Otherwise my son's football training would be missed.
[1] see the attached screenshot, please.

Thanks for reporting this bug. The clock app merely displays the system time. It does not have permission to change the system time. I suspect the issue is deeper within the system considering that the time&date settings shows Edinburgh time as "UTC+0" while it should have been "UTC+1" after the DST changes.
I must add that I didn't face this issue. Not sure why, but this seems to only affect some people. Can't find the common thing that triggers this issue.
