IPhone 5 time is incorrect

After I update my phone to ios 6.1.2 the time is already incorrect. I tried to restore and hard reset the phone still not working. I even set the timzone manually it goes back to the original problem. Is there anyone who can help? thanks!

The time is pulled from the carriers towers. Contact the carrier.

Nevermind... Tech had me sign into store and itunes. Signing in there fixed the problem.

System time is incorrect

I just recently installed Arch Linux i686. I thought I got the time set correctly when I first installed Arch, but now I notice that the system time is incorrect. I live in Tucson, Arizona. Arizona (execpt for the Navajo Indian reservation) is on MST (GMT-7) year round, no DST. I dual boot this machine to both Windows and Linux, so the hardware clock is set to local time. When I boot to Windows, the correct time is displayed. in /etc/rc.conf, I have
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Ameria/Phoenix"
When I boot Arch, and type the date command, it displays localtime - 7 hours. Also, if a create a new file and do a "ls -l" command, the timestamp on the file is localtime - 7 hours. It appears that Arch thinks the hardwareclock is set to UTC, even though I have HARDWARECLOCK="localtime" specified.
How can I fix this?
(I did a pacman update a week ago and it looked like it installed a new kernel. Maybe this is when the incorrect system time started. Not sure.)
Charles Bailey

The Arch boot sequence, from the wiki page, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Boot:
1 Grub or Lilo
2 Kernel and memory management functions loaded into memory
3 init called - follows instructions from /etc/inittab
4 /etc/rc.sysinit is called.
Early in rc.sysint , from my x86-64 Arch on a dual AMD cpu, the realtime-clock driver is loaded. In my case, it's rtc-cmos. Bugs have been reported in various places about this driver. I don't know which version of the driver, or which kernels might be affected. The driver is for PC-style computers; without it ACPI would not function.
Then, the hwclock may be adjusted for system drift depending on use of localtime or UTC.
After the local filesystems are mounted, the hwclock may be adjusted again.
You could add lines to rc.sysinit to echo the hwclock time to the screen for the boot sequence using "/sbin/hwclock -r" to see which adjustment instance is causing the errors and then take steps to correct the adjustment or prevent the adjustment from occurring.
Edited for clarity and typos.

The iPhone time goes backwards: a time warp maybe?

I’m developing an iPhone application which logs GPS data in a SQLite DB, including their timestamps.
When I’m running the application while I’m stationary, the timestamps are exactly what you’d expect, i.e., they matches the actual time shown by a wall clock, and sequential samples have increasing times.
However, when I run the application in a moving car, I notice that every 5-10 minutes or so the timestamp jumps back in time, sometimes by as much as 30 seconds.
For example, I might have a GPS reading with a timestamp of, say, today at 10:10:30, and the next GPS reading would have a timestamp of 10:10:01. After this happens, subsequent samples are well behaved (time is increasing), until after another 5-10 minutes when the time resets back again.
To check whether this problem is only related to the GPS, I started writing in the SQLite DB also the actual time [NSDate date] in which the location manager reports a new point. This time almost equals the GPS sample’s timestamp (within a few mS), and is also subject to the same occasional reset back of 10-30 seconds.
Has anyone seen this? Could it be a result of synching the iPhone time to that of cells along the way? If so, aren’t cells supposed to be synchronized to an atomic clock? If indeed it’s the time difference between cells, why wouldn’t the iPhone sync with the GPS time, which is atomic?
Does anyone know how to solve this, i.e., having monotonically increasing timestamps?

Thanks a lot Learning Annex Certified, that solved my problem.
Indeed machabsolutetime() is available on the iPhone, and seems to be the only reliable way to tell the time difference between two subsequent GPS readings. One should not reply on the samples’ timestamps, because from time to time subsequent timestamps go back in time as described in my first post above.
Caveat: the timestamp provided by the Location Manager is supposed to be the exact time in which the sample was taken. When one uses machabsolutetime() when a new point is available, there’s a small delay between the sample and the call of locationManager:didUpdateToLocation:fromLocation:, but hopefully the variance in the delay is small so the delta time between two samples is accurate.
Now, if only machabsolutetime() would have been available on Win98.

When I attempt to download an app to iPhone I get 'incorrect password' message.

When I attempt to download an app to iPhone I get 'incorrect password' message. Go to the app store on my Mac and the password works just fine. Go back to iPhone and change password and, of course, when I attempt to use it I get the same error message. Why is this happening? This is now happening on my iPod as well.

HT201269 I am trying to restore an old back up to a new phone but it will not allow because it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the password I am using is the only password I have?? Help? What does this mean?

I am trying to restore an old iphone to a new iphone but it will not allow becaue it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the passwork I am using works for my ITunes account and is the only password I have..?? Please help!! Thank you.

When using the iPhone with the Windows OS, you need to have the Apple Mobile Device Service running. It should start automatically when you start the computer, but sometimes things happen. Use this support document to try and restart the service. See if that helps.

HT1386 iPhone times out during iCloud restoration

My iPhone times out during syncing with iCloud

Hey PLabrozzi,
Has iTunes displayed an error message when syncing the iPhone? If so reply with the exact error.
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the computer and not plugged into the monitor, keyboard, or a hub.
This article has some general tips for a similar issue that may resolve this issue.

Calendar times syncing incorrectly

Just got a new iPhone4 and synced it with iTunes. Why are all my calendar events' times synced incorrectly (8 hours too early)? The time settings on my laptop and on my phone are correct (UK). Please help!

hi me-l,
What application are you using for the calendar events?
Cheers,

No problem with this with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date.

I am unable to sign-in to my iphone4 to make purchases or update apps. There is no problem with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch when logging in to iTunes or Apple.com. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date. This very strange. Any suggestions how to resolve this problem as it is quite frustrating.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

ICal event times are incorrect when importing to iPhone.

For some reason, although iPhone imports events from iCal, the times for the events are incorrect! This is extremely problematic. Any suggestions on a fix? i am using Leopard 10.5.1, MacPro, and have the 8GB version of the iPhone.

you may want to check your time settings on your macpro first: system preference>date&time>time zone... make sure you have the right time zone and city, then in system preference>date&time>date&time... check "set date & time automatically".
then in ical: ical>preferences>advanced, make sure you have "Turn on time zone support" selected.
finally on the iphone: settings>general>date&time, make sure you have time zone support selected and the right time zone/city.
hope this helps.

IPhone 5 Showing incorrect Time. Unable to send text messages.

Ok here's my problem. My time on my iPhone is incorrect. I check my settings it's on automatic and it is set to my Hawaii time zone. I am unable to send text messages because I believe the time is not the same as the server. When I try to send a text it says Go to Date & time settings. This happens at least once a day. My time would be incorrect for 10 mins then go back to correct time. This happens on LTE and on WiFi. I also have rebooted the iPhone. One last thing. I check my battery usage. It's says 4,294,967,278 days on Standby. I guess the time is messing up my stats. Anyone have the same problem? Please help. If not I hope new ios update fix this.

My house is in an area that is covered by 3G. But I work in an area that is 4G-LTE. (Actually, my house is right on the border of these coverages because I notice it switching from 3G to LTE periodically.)
Anyway, what I notice is that when I switch from the LTE to 3G network, my iPhone 5 clock gets corrupted. It's 2h22m off. Weird. It doesn't do it right away, but after I'm home for awhile, I'll notice that the clock has been changed. I know this corruption causes errors in my iMessage app because I've gotten an error message about it. It may cause errors in others.
Once I leave my house and go back into stable LTE coverage, I can do one of the following to correct the clock (because it won't autocorrect):
- turn the phone off and then back on
- go to Settings => General => Date&Time and switch "Set Automatically" off and then back on
These fixes will also work if I stay in 3G coverage.
This has happened every day since I got the phone so I know it's a real bug. I'm sending a support request to Apple today. Otherwise, however, I love my iPhone 5 and LTE speed makes all the difference.

The date and time on my iPhone 5s is incorrect when I select Set Automatically. How can I resolve this?

My iMessage and FaceTime, among other apps, are unable to activate for some reason. Other forums have suggested I make sure my date and time are correct and are Set Automatically. I noticed that the time zone, date, and time are all incorrect. Any suggestions??

I'm sorry this is happening, loucm. When did this start? Please try resetting Network Settings. You can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

IPhone sometimes displays incorrect time!

It's frustrating having to reset my iphone so that it will then display the correct time. What's causing this and is there some work-around? Otherwise, it's a rather amazing little device. Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks for the link! I'll just set "automatically set time" to "off". (settings>general>date & time)
I don't travel that much, so time zones are not an issue. Perfect solution! A million thanks.

TS2755 iphone 4s - date and time is incorrect/trouble with imessages

Had to go into settings and turn off automatic for date/time, it was a month behind and a few hours...whats up?

Try a reset:
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
You can also try Reset Network Settings:
Settings > Genera > Reset > Reset Network Settings
(This will reset all settings. This will not delete any data.)
Reset All Settings:
Settings > Genera > Reset > Reset All Settings
(This will reset all network settings. This will not delete any data.)

To set the date and time, go to Settings-Date and Time-turn Set Automatically off- tap the date and time that appears on screen and change time.
