IPhone time changes itself to 1 hour fast

Hi, I have had an 8GB iPhone for about 3 days. Everything had been ok except for the time and camera...so I took it to the store today and the Genius was unsure about the time problem but replaced my phone due to the camera issue hoping the time issue would also be resolved...(camera issue = photos have red center with green halo)
So I got home with the new phone and synced it. It was initially fine but I hooked it back up with the computer to add some pictures and when i did it immediatly added 1 hour to the time. Now I am unsure what to do as the first phone also did it for the Genius at the store (so we are pretty sure it is not just my computer since theirs did it too).
I now have all of the automatic time features turned off so that the time has to be set manually and it is still changing the time itself and adding 1 hour to the time.
I have all of the most current software updates (iTunes & iPhone)...since my phone is so new, I have not used the phone without the most current update.
Is anyone else having this problem and if so have you been able to resolve it and how? I would just hate to have to go back to the store again if it is something I can resolve myself...
Thanks for any and all help,
Rebecca

Hey fred,
Is the iPhone attached to a PC or Mac?
is the time correct on the computer? Is the time zone correct?
Try resetting the iPhone.

Also, make sure it is updated to 1.1.1 software.

Evry time after sync. my iphone 4 ios 4.3.3 with itunes 10.3.1.55 the time change up one more hour ,, please tell me what can i do to solve this problem

evry time after sync. my iphone 4 ios 4.3.3 with itunes 10.3.1.55 the time change up one more hour ,, please tell me what can i do to solve this problem

This year, the government has canceled the daylight saving time , that's why happening this problem to me so I changed the time zone in iPhone from Cairo,Egypt (GMT+2 with daylight saving) to Harare,Zimbabwe (GMT+2 without daylight saving , no change in time from summer & winter) & now working good, no change in time after sync. , But it's very stupid thing from apple that they didn't add an option in time setting to enable or disable the daylight saving time like any other mobile.

Iphone time changes and calendar events get triggered

Iphone 3GS recently updated to IO5 .... Windows PC (vista)...... Every so often, usually about once a day, sometimes twice a day. The correct time that shows jumps forward like 2-3 days with the wrong time. I lose AT&T connection and my calendar events for the next 2-3 days flash on my iphone one right after the other. I hit "close" and the next event flashes up on the screen. I do this for all the events that come up. After all the events are closed, AT&T network is connected again like nothing is wrong. Anyone have or had this issue? Solutions? Thanks.

Nope, and this isn't the first problem I've been having with this phone. For months now I've been unable to use itunes on my computer to sync with my phone because it keeps coming up as not being able to read it and asking me to reset my phone to factory.

Iphone automatically changes time every night

My iPhone 4 changes the time by one hour every night without fail. i have only had it this week, so it may be due to daylight savings??
i have 'set automatically' turned off, however the time changes itself every day.
any advice would be greatly appreciated, i am getting sick of having to use my old phone for an alarm clock!!

Date always 1 hour fast

I am trying to get the current date and time in my application. I am able to do this using the code below.
The problem is that it works in jdk1.2.2 but when I use
1.3 (which is the runtime the end user will have) the time is always 1 hour fast.
//Use the default timezone & locale
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date aDatey = cal.getTime();
System.out.println("Calendar date is \t\t" + aDatey);
//Use date constructor
Date tempDate = new Date();
System.out.println("\n\nDate constuctor's date is \t" + tempDate);
//Check if the default TimeZone is correct
TimeZone t = TimeZone.getDefault();
System.out.println("\n\nDefault timezone is " + t.getID());
boolean b = t.inDaylightTime(aDatey);
if (b)
System.out.println("\n\nTimezone IS in daylight savings time");
else
System.out.println("\n\nTimezone Is NOT in daylight savings time");Java is using the correct TimeZone, but inDaylightTime always returns true, even during the winter months!
As I said above, this is not a problem in 1.2.2 (everything works)
To make things a bit more interesting during the summer moths inDaylightTime returns true, but the time is correct (not 1 hour fast)
I can't see any logic in what's happening, any ideas/experiences would be appreciated
Thanks!

Actually, it looks like this is bug 4177450
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4177450.html
The interesting thing is that I'm running this under JDK 1.3, and it claims to be fixed in 1.2 FCS M. Hmm.
Here's a sample program with output:

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class DateTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Running Date Test");
Date d = new Date();
System.out.println("Date = "+d);
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL,DateFormat.FULL);
System.out.println("DF = "+df.format(d));
Locale l = Locale.getDefault();
System.out.println("Locale = "+l);
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
System.out.println("TimeZone = "+tz);
System.out.println("TZ Name = "+tz.getDisplayName());
tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
System.out.println("\nChanging TZ to America/LA");
System.out.println("TimeZone = "+tz);
TimeZone.setDefault(tz);
System.out.println("Date = "+d);

Syncing ical on macbook and iphone the times change by two hours

I set up all of the events on my macbook ical and when i sync with my iphone it changes the time by two hours on my calendar for the iphone. i have checked and both devices are accurate on the day and time. Is there something I am missing. It is a hassle having to change all of the events in my iphone each time i sync...........all help would be appreciated.

Am having exact same problem. Have checked, double-checked and re-checked all time & date settings, time zones, etc. to no avail. iCal on Mac now seems to be responding properly, but many of my events on iPhone will display correctly when opened but +2 hours on list at bottom of month view. There is no way I can figure out to edit time zone on iPhone cal event like there is on the Mac.

Since Time Change, iCal and iPhone Calendar Time Are All Messed Up

Ever since the most recent daylight-savings time change, I noticed all events I created in iCal, when synced with my iPhone, became an hour off. If I edit the event on the iPhone, it stays the correct time on my iPhone, but when it syncs with iCal again, the time on iCal goes off by another hour, even though the time for the event on the iPhone stays correct. (Hopefully that makes sense) Has anyone else experienced this problem? It is incredibly annoying, because now I have no trust in any of my calendar entries as to what the correct time is.
As an example: I created an event for Sunday the 16th on iCal on my Mac for a 1-hour soccer game from 8:00PM - 9:00PM. When I synced my iPhone, I noticed a few days later that the event on my iPhone now said the event was from 9:00PM - 10:00PM...one hour off! I edited the event on my iPhone, and re-synced. Now my iPhone has the correct time (which I manually edited on the phone) but iCal now says the event goes from 7:00PM - 8:00PM. Again, an hour off, but in the reverse direction (an hour off early, rather than late). When I sync now, even though the times on the iPhone and the times on iCal don't match, they do not change...it's as if either the computer or the phone didn't recognize daylight savings time or something, and thinks it has the correct time for the event. Both my Mac and my iPhone's clocks do display the correct time and date, however, so it's not like the system clock is off. It is completely bizarre, and I entered my entire teams schedule this way, so ALL games were off, and now is completely screwed up. Please help.

Yes, I did. I posted an identical post in the iPhone forum since no one answered here. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1791145&tstart=0
The first reply solved the problem. It involved the Time Zone setting in iCal Advanced preferences for me.

Will my phone automatically go one hour ahead tonight for the time change? Also, if I set my alarm will it go off at the time it's supposed to, or an hour later?

I live in ny and was wondering if tonight with the time change, will my iPhone automatically change the time? Also, if my alarm is set to go off in the morning, will it go off an hour later, or at the time that its supposed to?

On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Date & Time.
If you have Set Automatically selected, the date and time for your iPhone is set automtically based on the tower your iPhone is connected to with your cell phone carrier.
The date and time will be changed automatically on your iPhone based on your carrier changing the date and time at the tower your iPhone is connected with.
If the date and time is changed automatically on your iPhone, the alarm wiil go off at the selected time for the alarm. If you need to ensure you don't miss waking up at the designated time, I would use a backup alarm that is not based on the date and time being changed by your cell phone carrier.

I have restored my iphone and its saying time remaining is about 24 hours can you please help. can i switch the phone back on ? please help ??? :(

after there being an error in trying to update the software it said i have to restore my phone which i have done but says time remaining is about 24 hours . can you please help ? i just want to switch my phone on again .

Hello lyndsey1430,
From what I can gather, it sounds like you're having issues restoring your device. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning recovery mode:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.
Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

HOw do I fix the fact that ical jumped (almost) all my events post daylight savings time change an hour ahead?

A few weeks ago I noticed that everything past 3/8 was an hour ahead, and I assumed once daylight savings time changed it would all jump back. It hasn't, and I don't know how to continue scheduling events or if I should change them all. I read that (a few years ago) the suggestion was give it 24 hours to adjust??

I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment in the week after the UK clocks went back but before the USA clocks did. Outlook correctly shows the first occurrence as one hour earlier than all the following occurrences. Unfortunately - and this is the really nasty bit - the iPhone shows ALL the appointments one hour earlier than they should be. The only one that is correct is the first one.
This is a nasty bug and something that Apple needs to fix.

Verizon iPhone 4 restarts itself various times throughout the day since the last update?

For some reason, both my and my mom's iPhones restart at the same exact time. It's weird that I notice this, but since it's been going on for weeks now, I realized that both phones restart multiple times after midnight each night. My iPhone has been restarting itself more than my mom's, probably restarting itself twice every hour compared to hers twice a day. It's really frustrating because if I'm in the middle of something, it will restart out of nowhere and won't save my work. It keeps getting worse. I noticed this problem happen after the iOS5 update. I really don't want to take both phones in to Apple, for the nearest Apple store is miles away. Is there any way to solve this problem? Both are Verizon iPhone 4s and have the latest software update.

It could just be coincidence... If you have the Weather Channel iPhone app installed, they released an update last week that contains a bug which keeps location services active all the time. It will drain the battery VERY quickly. You can either shut off location services for the app or delete it. It appears they have released an update to the app this morning that apparently fixes the problem (too late as far as I'm concerned. I'll never touch their app again after that fiasco).

My iphone 4 locked up for several hours. i then tried to reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time for 10 seconds and then the home button for 10 seconds. it is now completely black. what do i do? couldnt restore it in iTunes

My iphone 4 locked up for several hours. i then tried to reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time for 10 seconds and then the home button for 10 seconds. it is now completely black. what do i do? couldnt restore it in iTunes. Has anyone had this problem? Help!

Same thing happened to me today. I wasn't even using the phone for the past 6 hours and suddenly I can't connect to the internet, none of my internet apps would work - nothing. I tried to call AT&T from the iphone and it locked up - couldn't turn it off, change to the home screen - nada - brick.
Did the Home/Power button thing and that worked but this I've only had this phone for about 4 weeks and it's locked up more times than my 3GS did the whole two years I had it! Ridiculous

Outlook sync after Eastern Standard Time Change-All events are 1 hour late

After sync'ing with outlook this past weekend, all my iphone calendar events are 1 hour late. the Eastern Standard Time change must have affected this. The time on my phone and my laptop are the same however. Anyone experienced the same issue?

I had a similar problem with iCal, my Treo 650, and Missing Sync. I found a solution on the Missing Sync website that worked for me -- see my post at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5453855&#5453855.

IPhone calendar time problem post daylight savings time change

Addendum to the similar post about a one hour differential between iCal and iPhone. THis is not just iCal. I have the same problem on WIndows XP/Outlook 2003. Everythign worked fine until the time change last weekend. Now this is what happens:
Any meeting set up in Outlook BEFORE Daylight Savings that has a start date BEFORE Daylight Savings appears properly on iPhone. FOr example, every Thursday beginning Nov 1 at 8am. THis shows up correct in iPhone at 8am for today, Nov 8.
But, any meeting set up AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour later on the iPhone when I sync. SO a meeting I set up in OUtlook for 10am today shows up at 11am on the iPhone.
And, any calendar event I set up on the iPhone AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour earlier in Outlook 2003.
THis is a huge problem for me! Both of my calendars are wrong now. PLease help!!! I have tried everything I can:
I tried setting up meetings with the OUtlook Daylight Savings setting enables and disabled: no change. No differnce whether I set up the meeting on my PC or it is an invitation from someone else. I lost all sync history. no change. I overwrote all calendar content (in iPhone advanced options) - no change.
And, as my fellow poster mentions - the tiime on the two systems match.

I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier.

Time is an hour fast

Last night I noticed my iPhone screen said it was 8pm when it was really 7pm. I checked the Clock app and Cuppertino time (I live in Portland, OR) was 7pm. I checked my wife's iPhone and hers was an hour fast also. I also did a reset, no help.

Hi Steve,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2339 describes that issue and provides tips that may resolve it.
If you have checked Set Automatically in Settings > General > Date & Time, then you may want to contact AT&T as Tamara said.
