Why is my iPhone displaying incorrect time?

Image should explain all.
The time at the top is 8 hours behind. I can't correct it because when I go into Time, it's correct!
Many thanks

Hey there JonnyAustin,
It looks like your phone is showing an incorrect time but it is set correctly in Settings. I would start with quitting all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persits, I would next use the troubleshooting in the following article for additional assistance:
iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Iphone displays incorrect time

My iphone 5 recently began reporting wrong time. It currently says APR 26, 2033 8:27am
that time/date cannot be changed to reflect current .
What is the solution?

Is "Set automatically" switched on in Settings>General>Date & Time?

Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

That would be imessage and not text message.
As stated by sberman, it's because the users are sharing apple id.
On each devices - settings - message - send&receive- remove or uncheck the apple ids.

Acccented characters in received email on iphone display incorrectly

acccented characters in received email on iphone display incorrectly, although tehy are correct on email message displayed on PC

Normally that should not happen unless the emails have erroneous or missing "charset =" statements in their "content-type" header. Unfortunately on the iPhone there is no way for the user to compensate for this kind of issue. Could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Find My iPhone and incorrect time problem

I just tried out the Find My iPhone feature on iCloud (Mac Mini) and played a sound on my iPhone just to see if it worked, which it did. My query is I immediately got an email from Apple to say a sound was played on my iPhone but the time was totally incorrect. I played the sound at 1830 hours but the email said it was played at 1030 hours (8 hours earlier).
The time on my iPhone and Mac Mini are both correct. How do I make the Find My iPhone display the correct time?
Thank you.

That's about right, 8 hours from California time. Check your preferences for this site
And see what your timezone is set to:

Dashboard clock displays incorrect time for remote cities

Hi all,
Small issue here : I added a new clock in dashboard to display the time in Rabat, Morocco.
Unfortunately the clock is an hour off (shows 10pm when it is actually 11pm there).
I already asked the google friend, always the same answer : check your time zone in preferences, which I did.
> My current location & time zone are correctly set (Brussels, Belgium CEST), time is correctly displayed for this location both on the desktop and in dashboard clock.
> Tried allowing the system to determine my current time zone automatically, no change.
> Date & time is set automatically via apple euro time server.
Does anyone know what's wrong here? Something related to daylight saving time maybe? (seems odd but I ran out of ideas.)
Thanks a bunch,
Nicolas

This same problem stared plaguing me as well yesterday (iPhone 5c), maybe a week after upgrading to iOS 8.3. I've tried everything (which isn't much, right?) to no avail. Among the symptoms were time and date wrong (of course) but also intermittent WiFi misbehavior (e.g., disconnects) and very sluggish response on the set Date & Time page (Settings : General : Date & Time)--when setting the "Set Automatically" slider from off to on or vice-versa it would often take many seconds to respond (and I'd swear the sliding circle looks a tiny bit elongated when stuck).
Anyway, this morning I let the power drain normally and kept it that way for a few hours. I've now plugged it back in to charge and the time has been correct for the past 45 min. and counting, so this may be a remedy. I'll check back in later today with progress.

Why does flash site display incorrectly when i have Flash Professional installed?

It appears that if I have Flash Professional installed or even Flash Professional CC, my Flash web site displays incorrectly in IE 10/9/8 and various versions of Firefox. This replicates on multiple computers, Windows 7, Windows 8 and has been an issue for 2+ years. On those same computers I can create virtual PCs, install FF and IE and view my site w/o problems and on many other computers it displays correctly. Design elements that should only be visible in the application are displayed in the browser when I have the apps installd. The first image is WIndows 7 running in virtual computer with IE9, the 2nd one is from the host computer using IE9. Any help will be appreciated.

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.

IPhone displaying incorrect app icons

I have an original 8GB iPhone running OS 3.0. Since I upgraded, every time I install a new app, it displays an incorrect icon. It seems that it displays the icon for the most recently deleted app. For example, I installed the Pizza Hut app, and the iPhone is displaying an icon for the msnbc app which I deleted a couple of days ago. This happened when I first installed the msnbc app, it showed an icon for a different application. I have re-booted, and re-synced, and still have the same results. Any ideas?

I had the same problem, deleted apps re-downloaded still did it, restarted the phone still did it even doing a restore still did it. the only thing that worked for me was to power the phone off not restart just off, now every app has the right icon.

IPhone displaying incorrect email receive date

Forgive me if I have posted in the wrong community, however this is my first post. My iphone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) has recently (over the past three days) started sporadically assigning a xx/xx/00 date to emails rather than xx/xx/12. When I open the email the date is the current date, but the receive date is not. Not all emails display the wrong receive date. My husband's iphone 4 has also started doing the same thing today; I'm not sure if it is specific to 4s or if other iphone models are also experieincing this problem. I also don't know what is causing this, and therefore how to fix it, but I would appreciate any advice or solutions from others who may have had this problem.

Hi,
My provider is telstra but I also have a private domain. I have 4 email accounts going to my iphone, three of which belong to telstra and one to my private domain. I have no issues with my private domain only one of my bigpond email accounts. The problem is also occurring on my imac. I'm yet to check my ipad. The date on each of my devices is correct. I changed the date and time on my iphone to manual but it made no difference. My imac still has the date and time set at automatic. I'm guessing from your line of questioning that this is more likely a provider issue rather than a osx or ios issue - am I correct?

WHY are the iphone displays so different in color????

Ok- I have to ask why??? No one at apple can tell me why....
I have seen many ip4's and they all seem to have different levels of brightness and color hue's (kalvin temps) WHY? Due to problems with my phone I have had to return the phone three times 4 times now.Not being picky but each phone I have had has had its own issues...First one had the yellowish dots, messed up sensor and sorry battery and everything else...The screen color temp throughout was yellowish.The second ip4 i got was more cool in color temp more of a bluish white but the battery was horrible, Went back today to return and the phone they gave me was very yellowish so I told them no way am I leaving with this phone so they opened a new one and this one is not as yellow and not as bluish maybe somewhere in-between. also I am not sure if its as bright as the one I took in today. I do know that compared to the floor models it was not the brightest but also not the dimmest....I understand that they can not keep bringing out phones and activating them to see the color and brightness but I would think that there would be better quality control on these phones. It just does not make sense as to why so many phones are all so very different in the brightness and color temp of the screen.
My main concern was battery life so, I do think I finally got a phone that has a much better battery. It has only drained 7% in 8 hours.
So any ways this thread is not about battery but it is about the brightness and color of the iphone screens..Does anyone know WHY?????????
Thanks!!!
and please understand that I am trying to understand...not trying to be a picky jerk but I do not like yellowish dim screens. After having an 27"imac LED that I can only keep at 50% because it is so bright and white that looking at a yellow screen is just not my cup of tea.........

I've seen no difference among the three we have in our family, except those attributable to different brightness settings -- and whether the auto brightness function is enabled or not.

My calendar on my iphone displays different times than with icloud on my computer. How can I fix that?, My calendar on my iphone displays different times than with icloud on my computer. How can I fix that?

When I add an event to my calendar on my iPhone, it displays the correct time for the event. If I add it on icloud on my computer, it displays an hour later on my phone. How do I fix this?

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

Why does my iphone crash each time I start a new app?

A couple of weeks ago, my iPhone (4S, newest iOS), started crashing I'd say once every four times I try to open an app. I'll open the app and within a second- the screen goes black, the white wheel comes up and it goes back to the lock screen.
I've tried powering off and restarting, but still doing it.
Any idea of what I should try next?
Thanks!

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.

Security Monitor Events display incorrect time

I have a time issue between a 4240 sensor (5.0) and Security Monitor (2.1). The events in the sensor are correct but 7 hours off in Security Monitor, even though the VMS server understands the correct time (knows there are events in the last hour) but will not display them. After doing some research, it looks as though we needed to load CSCOids2.1.0-sol_SecMon_2_1_Service_Pack_1-6.tar right? Well I did, ran the perl script, everthing was successful. CiscoWorks shows the patch as being applied. Reloaded VMS and the sensor, and still I have what seems like a UTC problem (UTC offset always =0 yet time zone=arizona). Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Is the correct offset configured on the sensor?
Execute "show conf" and verify the value for the timezone offset. Remember that this is in minutes and not hours. If the timezone diffence is 7 hours then the value on the sensor should be 7hours*60minutes=420minutes.
Also use "show events" on the sensor to look at a few alerts on the sensor itself. It will report both the UTC/GMT time and the Local time. Verify that the offset between the 2 is correct on the sensor. (be sure to account for summertime/daylight savings time)

Why does my iPhone need every time to be hard-reset after charging?

Every time I fully charge my iPhone 6 Plus it turns off and doesn't want to turn on normally: I have to reset it every time by pressing the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button for a couple of seconds.
Also, sometimes after leaving it in sleep mode, when I wake the iPhone I find it having restarted alone without me doing anything: it asks me to type again the PIN number of my SIM card, as if it had just been turned on.
What can I do?
is it a battery or a iOs issue?

I think you need to talk to App tech. If you were sent a forced upgrade, it forces the phone to reboot when it hits 100% charge. Problem is after update and/or restore, it continues to do the reboot after you hit 100% battery capacity.
I have 6 phones that do the same. The tech guys don't believe me or they do not want to admit they have a problem with the forced update.
It left me stranded without my phone and the data in it while I was away. Bought a android phone for a back-up but may keep it as a main.
It seems if you want to carry your phone now-a-days, you better carry a laptop with iTunes in case there is a issue.
This whole thing is getting out-of-control as I spend more time servicing my phone than it spends servicing me. Which was the reason for not connecting to iTunes and updating it and then my phone every other month. So what do I get, forced update and inoperable phones.
If you can get it connected and set again, don't let it charge to 100% again and it will be fine. Otherwise see apple.
Who owns these phones anyway? It certainly is not me.
