World Clock has wrong times

I've been having a similar problem with my iPhone, though I first noticed it because the time on my emails in the Mail app were incorrect. Take a look at my thread:

I believe thats because London is at the top of your "world clock list" - Edit that list, and move SF (or wherever you are of course) to the top and you sould be good to go.

Which is more than I am right now - Mines "restoring" itself after trying to upgrade (?) to 1.0.2....

Anyway, HTH,
Cheers,

Hmmm....

The good news - Mine just got 1.0.2 installed [I presume it failed the initial attempt because I'd run "ifuntastic" to get custom ringtones.....]

Anyway, I attacked the World clock (now back in its default "Cupertino" time zone - Which happens to be me, so I added New York, London and Madrid - All show up correctly, and for me very "elegantly":

Cupertino: 5:20pm today
New York: 8:20pm today
London: 1:20am tomorrow
Madrid: 2:20am tomorrow

Looks good to me.....Sorry, I thought I had it!,

Cheers,

gmac619,

Could you have selected San Francisco, Spain inadvertently for your time zone?

Try another city in California for your local time zone, such as Cupertino, and see if the issue is resolved.

Hope this helps,

I am noticing the same thing. My World Clock is reporting a time exactly 6 hours earlier than the actual time, while e-mails and phone calls are all reporting times exactly 6 hours later than the actual time. This must be a time-zone related bug, as I am in the Central time zone, exactly GMT-6 hours.

I have the same issue. 1.1.1 and
iPhone time is correct.
World time is one hour earlier.
For example, I am in LA. i-Phone time is 10 and the World time clock for LA is 9.
I found this to be the case for SF, Cuperino, etc. It is one hour off.

As my previous post has shown, at the time I took the snapshot, all times were correct.

Under Settings > General > Date and Time I have:

24 Hour Time (my option) ON

Set Automatically ON

Time Zone Support ON

Time Zone (Washington DC for me) Your nearest city within your time zone.

I cannot believe that it works on one iPhone and not on another unless there are different versions of the iPhone that would react in such a manner.

I have the exact same problem even after restoring. The only way around this is to turn off Set Automatically under the Date&Time menu and manually change the time of my local zone.

This is a bug that I hope Apple resolves soon.

Only if you live in Cupertino. Maybe this was intentional since Apple is headquartered in Cupertino.

If you use San Francisco, it works fine. If you are on the left coast, what is the difference whose time you use with the exception of Arizona. 😉

I have the same problem. I live in Orange County, and my timezone is set to Los Angeles - automatic update. The World clock is behind by 1 hour for LA and for every other city. I called (800)MY-IPHONE and explained my problem to the techie who was able to replicate the same issue with his iphone as well - he was in Boise. Waited for some time while he consulted with the senior techies , and ended up advising me that the timezone in my computer could be wrong - which is NOT the case. He really did not have any other solution - so I guess we have to just accept it as something that Apple might fix soon.

David -

I am looking at my iPhone clock display at this very moment.

Washington, DC 21:15
San Francisco 18:15

I live in Virginia and it is exactly as it should be. Could there be more than 1 version of the 1.1.1 software update for the iPhone.

There is no other explanation.

I'm not sure. I thought 1.1.1 was the same for everyone.

In my office there are 4 iPhone owners total. Each of us has the same problem. We "think" it might be related to the modified daylight savings time date. This time last year we should be an hour behind. This is the first time it is being pushed back until Nov 4. Since we are only off by one hour I suspect this is the case. I'll let you know how things look on the 5th.

This is bizarre.
Since my last post I haven't sync'd or charged the phone, but all of the sudden the World Clock started displaying the correct time.
I wonder if it takes a week or so to correctly display after buying it? I just got it last Friday.
Oh well... I am just glad it works now!!!!

Lucky you.
The network actually changes my phone to the wrong time.

I'm an airline pilot. We all use/rely on cell phones to give us accurate times when we are in a new city. This is the first cell phone I've ever heard of that cannot correctly get the time from the cell network.

What's up with that? Is there a fix yet? How long might the fix take?
