Automatic time setting problems

The automatic time setting on my I phone 4s keeps defaulting too shanghai time even though I live in the uk. There are no other available options for time zones on this setting. The only way round it seems to be to turn off the automatic setting & switch it to manual. I can then select London. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Alarm & Automatic time update problem ?

I was wondering if anyone is experiencing a similar problem - I've just discovered this and it's too late to call Club Nokia
I am on Orange in the UK, and we are currently in British Summer Time. I have set my alarm to go off at a particular time and afterwards the time seems to automatically revert back to GMT. Is this a known problem on the Nokia N70 ?
I have also tried deliberately changing the time on my phone to a couple of hours off, and then switching the automatic time updating system on, and it hasn't changed the time on the phone - this leads me to suspect that Orange doesn't implement this feature (as it doesn't implement the cell info display feature) but if so then this points to the alarm feature being a bug in Nokia's firmware ?
Anyone experienced this or has any enlightening information ?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi Edward,
You are correct about the cell info display. Orange don't use it. Sometimes you will see it if roaming abroad on other networks.
I've also briefly suffered exactly what you have described about time reverting to GMT from BST. I put it down to a broacast cell being incorrectly configured.
About a month ago I was working abroad in Republic of Ireland and the clocks had just moved forwards. The hotel I was staying at (in fact I could narrow it down to the room I was in) was in a zone where my phone repeatedly reverted to GMT. However, as soon as I had travelled to my work site, the phone was 100% back on correct BST. Travelled back in the evening and the phone invariably stayed at the correct time but come the next morning it had reverted back to GMT at some point overnight. My phone has only ever exhibited this behaviour for those few days at that one hotel otherwise it's been perfect. I have my phone on auto time update all the time.
Strange eh? I put it down to a local issue of the cell that happened to cover the hotel. Perhaps your home cell location suffers the same issue? Only thing I can think of.

Hmm - it does sound like a network type problem in that case although if so that means the cell where I live has never been configured correctly because I always get this problem - but only when setting the alarm (it never happened on the old Nokia 6230 I have). I reported it to Orange yesterday, and they quote a 24hour response time from their techie guys so I am hoping for some information back today.
Any ideas why it might be happening with an alarm clock ? When I deliberately misconfigured my phone's time and set auto time update on, it never corrected the time so why correct it when the clock goes off ?
Thanks for your help and the info

Automatic Time setting in Egypt

There seems to be a problem with the time servers time.euro.apple.com and how its setting summer time in Egypt, it seems to have changed a few days early. Summer time was not meant to start until 1st Aug till the end at midnight between Thursday, 25 September 2014 and Friday, 26 September 2014. So all my Apple devices iphone and MacBookPro runnning 10.9.4 are an hour out with the automatic settings. So had to go back to manual time setting and lost an hour in bed.

Automatic time set is wrong.

I live in AZ. I have the time zone set manually on my iPad to Phoenix. However, when I change my iPad time zone settings to set automatically, the time zone is switched to Denver or Cupertino. What's going on?

If memory serves me correctly - the last couple of times that there was a major iOS release - this problem seems to have come up for a few users.
See if this helps - Turn airplane mode on and then off, or turn your iPad off completely off (hold the top button appears, and then slide the slider), then turn it back on again.

My iphone 3gs has started showing the wrong time and date. All was fine until this afternoon when it changed. My apps have the right time and date. However the world clock is wrong. I have to turn off the automatic time setting to get the right time.

My iphone is showing the wrong time and date. All was well until sometime this afternoon when it changed... to Nov 5 (2 days prior to today), and about 9 hours and some minutes before the actual time. The world clock for my time zone shows the same wrong date and time. My calender shows the same wrong date and time. The phone can not find my time zone any more. The only fix I found was to turn off the automatic setting for time. What is happening? Ideas?

just sorted mine went to
settings-mail,contacts,calender-timezone support
then turned it off then on tapped time zone and typed london
this did sort mine

Wrong automatically time set

it suddenly occurs to my phone while my phone vibrates due to meeting mode is active.
And I find the date is set to 2014/10/01, 8:XX AM, while it's actually 2015/02/17, 4:XXPM.
I restart my phone and it doesn't work. I have to close the "Set Date and Time Automatically" option.
My Time Zone is Beijing,HongKong(+8) and GPS is working properly. Does anyone know why?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For what it's worth, I haven't seen that, but I have experienced cases where the tower is giving the wrong time zone. I have a colleague who almost missed a plane because of this and his iphone lost an hour and his alarm went off an hour late. I think it is wise to set the device to prompt for time change.

WRT350N time setting problem

To Technical Support,
I own this router for a 2 months now and I set up access restrictions for the kids in the house with blocking schedule. I noticed the time settings for Pacific is not correct when it on current time under status tab. Automatically adjust DST is checked.

Lock screen and world clock show 24hr time, with date & time set to 12hr..

I gave my old iPhone 3GS to my wife after turning the 24hr time to off in in date & time settings but the lock screen and the world clock still display the 24hr time format (everything else is 12hr). I've tried rebooting, rebooting and leaving off for an extended time, switching 12/24 toggle back and forth in date & time settings, and deleting all locations in the world clock but the 24hr format stubbornly remains. The 24hr time confuses my wife so want times to display in the 12hr format.

I am having a similar problem with my iphone. i am in New Zeland, i have the date and time set correctly but in the world clock it is about 18 hours out. the wolrd clock for San Franciso agrees to my local time. i have tried different time zones and having the the automatic time setting on and off. i have also rebooted the iphone. any suggestions?

When I try to set the automatic time zone on my iPad in Settings all I get is the "waiting" wheel constantly turning. The only way to set the time is in the manual mode. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

Why automatically [automatically change time] setting in win8?!!

in win8 that I have been install it on my macbook pro, system time automatically change after each time i set correct local time.
i was disable automatic time in win8 configuration, but that's not work.
i have a same problem with my previews system between osx 10.7 vs win7. on that case win7 time was ok, but osx time wrong.i try several times to set osx time but each time changed time after restart. I was disable all automatically options from both OS but my problem not solved.
now i need a help to manual set time in osx 10.8&win8 without automatically change...

The problem isn't so much that the time is changing as much as how Windows and OS X deal with time. It will never be correct for both. Windows sets your internal clock to "local time" which is the actual time you would use. OS X uses a Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset. Basically, OS X will set your internal clock to Greenwich Mean Time and then, based on your geographic location, it will add the correct number of hours based on your time zone. So, for OS X, your internal clock will always be the same time regardless of where you are in the world and the OS adjusts it to display the correct time. Windows actually sets your internal clock to your actual time.
So there is no way to have them both be correct... especially if you turn off auto updating. If OS X was the last OS to set the time (so your internal clock would be set to GMT) and you switch to Windows (this should only happen with BootCamp by the way) Windows will display the GMT (which would not be correct for your local time). Likewise, if Windows were the last OS to set your internal clock (so it would be set to your local time), when you switched back to OS X, OS X would "think" the internal clock is set to GMT and apply an offset so it would be however many hours your are from the GMT timezone hours off.

Event start time sets automatically to 19:00 and can't be changed

New Events are automatically given a start time of 19:00 and cannot be changed. In addition, all my previously entered events, both single and recurring, have had their start times set to 19:00. My iMac had been unused for almost three months and upon returning to the machine, an update was available for Max OS, which I allowed to be installed. I'm now running 10.6.2, but I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem. Something changed, and that's the only change I know of. Thank you.

Bob,
One of the first things to try is "refresh" the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
Also open System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region and set/reset the appropriate region. Then set/reset "Customize..." in "Times."

Is there a way to automatically change tabs with different times set for each tab?

I found a few add-ons that will automatically change tabs based on a configurable time. But all the tabs use the same time setting. What I need is the ability to have tabs displayed for different amounts of time. Ex, Tab 1 for 30 seconds, Tab 2 for 10 seconds, Tab 3 and 4 for 5 seconds. Ideally, I will have the ability to modify these settings as the amount of tabs and the content will change a couple times a week.
Currently I'm using Tab Slideshow with each tab displayed for 15 seconds. But it sounds like Tab Rotate and Auto Toggle Tabs essentially do the same. If there is already a solution that would be great but if not is there someone available for hire to help modify one of the existing add-ons? Thank you in advance for your time.
John

Currently Firefox don't have any options like that.

Eror in automatic time & date setting

Suddenly the automatic time & date function in System Preferences is returning an incorrect time. I am shown in the correct time zone (EDT), but using the automatic setting puts the time ahead by 4 hours. I believe that would be GMT. Cannot figure out why it would do this. I am using an early-2008 MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.8.2.
Intrerestingly, my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 is showing the correct time.
Anyone else experiencing this, or have any ideas how do return to the correct time?

Problems with the time setting. help please

i have the time set on my ipod touch by the city i live. the time will be right for a couple days, but then it becomes an hour behind. how does that happen or how can i make that not happen?
can anyone please help me?

I'm having same problem too. Has happened 3-4 times now. Can't figure out what causes the time to change to random time. At one point I thought it was caused by my leaving my calendar at a previous date or appointment, but really don't think so. I have a Verizon - iphone 5. I would think that the time would come from Verizon. Not Apple. But no one else is talking about it. Anyway, you're not alone )c: Turning it off and then back on is fine HOWEVER, last night it changed time to 2 or 3 hours EARLIER so my alarms were screwed up! I asked Siri "what time is it" and she must get her information from the iphone settings. So... she gave me the WRONG time also. Sad. 1st time it happened, it was actually Sunday 8:03 AM PST and iphone showed 11:38PM. This morning, not only was the time wrong, the date was last Tuesday, 9/26/12! Not funny when we all depend on our calendars and appointments that are set on each day. Other times, I just reset it and will wait for someone to fix the problem. I love the iphone 5 though! Nice and light (I'm a runner). It replaced a 4. Loved that one too, but new iOS6 is WAY FASTER! Love it to pieces!
