Ive noticed that the clock never keeps good time. If I wake it it will be a few minutes behind from my iPhone. I have never seen it slower then 6 min. Has anyone else seen this issue?
My 32gb wifi is also loosing time when it goes to sleep. Power cycle doesn't fix it permanently. Seems to be related to sleep mode and the clock not continuing during sleep sometimes. We need to know if this is a hardware or software fixable issue Apple!!!! As it is it is unacceptable.
Yes. You are right. Thank god I got AppleCare with this. If my timer isn't fixed by ios4 I'm having it replaced right away. I travel a lot to meet clients and I want to replace my mbp with this and not mbp+iPad.
I well disappointed with this problem.
Clock problem has not been solved by Apple swapping a new iPad. I have a 64 GB WiFi iPad that gains about 20 seconds per day. The replacement iPad has the identical problem. Apple said that crashed apps can leave things running that may interrupt the clock count. I tried the usual clean restore and (without running any apps) the clock behaved the same way. IMHO this is a design flaw that Apple needs to address. The 3G version keeps time from the cell network. The WiFi-only version gets time synch from your Mac or PC when you synch with iTunes. Apple needs to make certain that the WiFi iPad can get time synch from an NTP server on the network. There are apps that do this (when you run them), but there is no excuse for it not being part of the OS.
It's important Apple knows this. I'm sure you'll make it abundantly clear to them that the problem persists in the new unit. It's odd though that your time error is the same interval. From what I've read, the time error is different intervals. Your unit "inherited" the exact same time shift. I wonder if your interval could be related to your app set. A useful experiment would be to restore the unit, then sync it with NO custom apps for a few days and see if your particular app set has anything to do with your particular time shift.
Hey everyone similar problem. Just received my iPad 3G 32gb and time was 4 minutes slow. Performed reboot and restore in iTunes no help. Went to apple genius this morning and time was correct at store in another town. The Mac genius performed restore for me in store and I went home. As soon as I got home time was 4 minutes slow. Talked to supervisor apple support sent picture showing time off. He recommended I goto Att for new sim card. Went there and they would not change it. Said another person came in with same issue. Placed a call Att support from inside store. They reactivated my iPad and now time is correct. If you having similar issue save yourself time and go to Att reactivation.
Noticed the same problem this morning. 😟
It really ***** that a thing for 600$ can't keep time correct.
Funny I live in Sweden and bought it in US. You can't get it in Sweden yet.
I helps restartin git...for a little while....now I synched it with computer again. see if it helps. I quit in middle of synching yesterday...might be a problem?
I ran into this issue Saturday night when I discovered that my iPad clock was an hour behind. What was really weird was my iGoogle page clock viewed in Safari from the iPad showed the same wrong time. I had recently shut off 3G access, so I turned it back on and it acquired the correct time but soon was off again by 5 minutes or more. My MacBook on the same airport extreme wireless network was showing the correct time (and my iGoogle page clock viewed from there had the correct time too). I read through this discussion page and tried a number of the suggested fixes off and on Sunday afternoon. Every time I put the ipad to sleep it would loose time. Finally last night, I turned off automatic in the clock settings, set the clock manually and restarted the iPad. Today the clock seems to be keeping correct time, but I'm going to keep an eye on it.
Mine is spot on. the only 2 times the clock has been off was the ONLY 2 times I totally shut down the iPad overnight. For the last month it has been on and wifi alway on and time is correct within 60 secs.
