My iPhone always shows the wrong time

Stuff that I have tried, based on comments from various threads:
-Resynced
-Checked time zone
-Turned on automatic set
-Turned off automatic set
-Changed the time on the iPhone
-Checked the time on my pc
-Restarted iTunes while the iPhone was connected
-Deleted previous backup
-Deleted sync history
I am sick of being late for work.  Please help.

Who is your carrier is one question.  If you have auto time set on, then it gets it from the carrier.  And by doing so it gets it from the tower or repeater it connects to when it first gets a signal (and again when loses signal and gets signal again).  Some carriers have issues at some towers or repeaters that the clocks on them are off thus sending out wrong time, and in some countries it is even worse so that is why I ask where you live.
If auto time is set to off you should be able to just set it manually and it should be fine.  I myself am unsure if syncing alters the time any but may adjust timezone info so did you verify your computer has correct time zone as well.

  • 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

  • XFCE's Clock shows the wrong time...

    XFCE's clock shows the wrong time constantly (it always shows the GMT time), but whenever I run hwclock -r, it tells me the correct time. Can anyone help fix it?

    Well, I think I found what was wrong at last. It seems that the timezone wasn't set in the rc.conf, even though the TZ variable was set. I changed it, but will have to restart in a bit to see if it works.

  • When i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?, when i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?

    A couple songs on my iPhone 4s show the wrong album cover but they play the wrong song. When i go to albums it shows the right cover but when i pick the song it will show a diffrent cover. Its like some of my song covers are switched. How do i fix this?

    There are 2 things you can do, the first (and by far the easiest) is to delete all of the music off of your iPhone and then put it back on. Also you might want to check that everything is in the correct place on the iTunes library. If you downloaded any music from iTunes without using a cd and it is not in your iTunes library you can go to the iTunes Store and on the right side under "Quick Links" and select purchased. It will let you download anything you have ever purchased in iTunes.
    The 2nd option is to backup your iPhone and save ALL of your apps to iTunes on your computer. Restore the iPhone and set up as a new iPhone, Don't worry all of your contacts will be in the cloud if you have it enabled. Once you set it up you can re-download all of your lost apps for free. Make sure your iTunes music is all in order and then sync the music back up.
    I hope this helps!

  • Why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    I had similar problem. My iPhone was always about 3 minutes faster than the correct time here in the UK which I found to be very irritating. It just came to a head because here in the UK we have just changed from British Summer Time back to standard GMT. This actually worked automatically except that the iPhone time still showed it to be about 3 minutes faster than GMT. However I have now cured the problem (almost) by going to
         Settings/General/ Date & Time/ and then selected the "Set Automatically" button.
    The clock then immediately jumped back 3 minutes and now the iPhone time is only about 10 seconds slow which is good enough for me.

  • How can I export photos from my Iphone and show the filming time

    I tried to export my photos from my iphone, but the times of them are created time and modified time, how can they show the filming time?

    I tried to export my photos from my iphone, but the times of them are created time and modified time, how can they show the filming time?
    How are you trying to view the times of the photos? On a Mac you cannot see the capture date of a photo in the or video in the Finder.  The Finder will always show the date the file was created or modified, and not when the photo has been taken. The capture date, when the iPhone took the photo will be encoded in the EXIF tags of the file, and that is different from the file creation. Photo software will show you the EXIF, the Info panel in iPhoto, or the Info panel in Preview.

  • Why does Messages show the wrong time I received a text?

    First of all, I use the version iOS 6.1.4, I do not like iOS 7 which is why I haven't updated it. Anyway, when I text someone and I get an Alert/Banner on my screen, it tells me the wrong time I received a text. It is off by a minute or two. It happens whether I'm texting someone without an iPhone (using SMS) and when I'm texting someone with an iPhone (using iMessage). Without upgrading to iOS 7, what can I do to resolve this issue? Just restart my phone?

    I just reset my phone, so we'll see how that works. And honestly it really doesn't, if you were asking the general person. But I'm sort of weird and I like to create conversation logs from the texts I have with my close friends, and I record the times I send/receive each text, so if it's off by a couple minutes then it's off on my log. So I mean it isn't the end of the world, it just bothers my OCD a bit.

  • BB Z10 Calender shows the wrong time

    I just got my BB Z10 yesterday. The time zone is entered correctly, and the phone shows the correct time. However, my calendar seems to think that it's 1 hour later than it actually is. I entered an appointment for 9am, and when I looked at it on the day view, it showed up at 10am. Also, the red line (which I'm assuming is the current time) shows up an hour later than the actual time.  Help!!

    Hey AndyLynneP,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    We will need to gather logs from the BlackBerry Z10 to find the root cause.  Please contact your network service provider and ask to be transferred to BlackBerry.
    I appreciate your patience, I believe it's just a time zone coding issue.  But we need to investigate further.
    Thanks.

  • HT4528 My Verizon iPhone 5 keeps showing the wrong time, I reset it and then it happens again later in the day.

    For the past few weeks, my Verizon iPhone 5 randomly changes the time to some odd time (like when it is 1:30pm, my phone will switch to 2:08am). I go into settings and date and time, I turn "set automatically" to off then on again. The time resets and all is well for a while and then it usually happens again later. I wonder if it has anything to do with verizon's network. I seem to notice it happen when I go into areas that have no 3g or LTE service and the phone has that "o" setting for the internet. Could it be a network error issue?

    If "Automatic" is on it probably has everything to do with Verizon. Try turning "automatic" off. If that fixes the problem it's Verizon. If it doesn't fix the problem it's likely a hardware problem in your phone.

    Re-Downloading Paid Apps for Free only works if using the SAME Apple ID that made the Original Purchase.

  • IPhone 5c gives the wrong time.

    I've had this phone for 10 months. Everything was fine until now. I've reset my location, turned automatic time on & off, reset the time manually, reset my settings. Nothing works. The date is correct, but whenever I leave the phone or turn it off, the time becomes random. My carrier is T-Mobile; my software is up-to-date. What do I do?

    I suspect problem happen when i updated recent bug which apply mentioned for iTunes, while it hit me . or may be some time of virus
    Help guys and post some time if some thing to do or leave that and purchase another smart phone, really frustrating

  • IPhone 4 shuts down on its own all the time. Sometimes restarts without ability to make calls, receive emails, and the wrong time.  Only a restore fixes it.  What can I try?

    So my iPhone had a broken screen and back for a while, which may have something to do with this.  I mean like missing peices.  I realize this leads to corrosion and I may have a broken iPhone but this is a really strange problem.  It's always shutting off on its own, sometimes in my pocket while locked and sometimes randomly while in use.   For example the other day this started happening everytime I started safari.  This happens all the time, I usually just restart it and it works for a while.   Sometimes after shutting off a few times in a row, after restarting it will show the wrong time, screws up phone calls and says that it cannot locate the gmail server, or something to that extent (won't load emails).   The phone calls are weird, I can't receive any.   Any calls that are made from the phone, go through on the other side and ring for them, but won't ring or make a connection on my side, also I can't end the call when this happens, it responds to me pressing end by fading the screen to that graytone color that it does before ending usually but stays on that screen whenever you go back to it, only disappearing after reseting.  Texts work, not in iMessage, and internet seems to work.   The only thing that fixes this condition is a restore. The iphone has been turning itself off over the last 3 months and its been getting progressively worse.  Recently its been pretty bad, and then the phone started to do all that weird stuff I've been talking about.  That started about 3 weeks ago and has happened 4 times, the last two times relatively close together.   This is really annoying and I can't afford to replace it.   Do I have to live with it?   What can I try?  Should I maybe replace the battery?  I took the panel off to look at it and the plastic around it was pitted possibly from being really hot.

    Please don't respond with useless comments.  I've already addressed the fact that my screen was broken a few months ago.  My phone may or may not be broken beyond repair either way, as I said before I can't afford a new phone.  It's a strange problem because from what I can tell no one else has posted the same problem anywhere I can find.  Don't be a dickhole.

  • How to fix iPhone 5 from displaying the wrong time

    Work up the day is daylight savings time and come to find out my iPhone was displaying the wrong time tried to switch from manual and automatic quick to see if it worked and nothing turned it on airplane mode still didn't work and I noticed I'm also having problems with my service please help

    If it is on automatic time, then the time is received from the carrier. If you say you are having "service" problems, I am assuming you mean your carrier. It could be an overall carrier problem. Contact them.

  • How can I get Messages to show the correct time for read receipts?

    Messages in Mountain Lion shows the wrong time for read receipts. For example, my iPad will show a message was read at 3:37 pm but if I open Messages on my MacBook, the read receipt shows the time that I opened the Messages app as opposed to the time the message was actually read. This is not too much of an issue if my iPad is handy, but really, shouldn't Messages on my MacBook be able to show the correct time the message was read? It syncs all the other infromation with Messages on iOs.
    I should mention that if Messages is running on my MacBook when the recipient reads the message, then it does show the correct time the message was read. It's if Messages was not running and I re-launch it that the read receipt time gets mixed up.

    HI,
    As far as I am aware Messages marks or time stamps an iMessage at the time of receipt rather then the time you got around to reading it.
    I will admit that in most cases reading and receiving as the app opens will be near enough the same time in some conversations.
    Adding Time Stamps to Chat is what iChat has always done particularly with AIM based Chats.
    The "Sync" in Messages is "display on all devices"  and after that each iMessages is dealth with separately on each device.
    There is no syncing of deleting/dimssing an iMessages or having read it on another device.
