iphone not keeping time properly

Question

iphone not keeping time properly

Has anyone had a problem with their iphone not keeping time properly. I have noticed periods during which the iphone's clock is 30-60 behind real time. This problem goes away if I restart the phone but I find that to be an inconvenience. I first noticed this when the alarm did not go off at the proper time

Thanks

Most issues with time are related to the timezone you have set in the iPhone (or set to Automatic which is default). Also what timezone is set on computer. They work together.

interestingly though, the time goes off by an odd number of minutes which doesnt seem to correlate to a time zone issue where I would expect it to be off by an hour or two plus or minus.

I am having the same exact problem. I thought it was just me.

I too have been having this problem - typically around 30 minutes behind. Turning the phone off and back on resyncs the time properly. This is obviously not a good solution.

I had this exact same problem, on three of the five iPhones I have had replaced by Apple (yeah, great product). Resetting never corrected this issue with me. If it did, it would immediately start messing up again. To correct this, just turn off the automatic time setting. That has worked for me, so far.

Sombody said that restore from iTunes after seting the time correctly in your calendar PC helps
