My Iphone time off by 5 minutes... my wife's is fine.

I just noticed my phone is four minutes slow as well. I'm in the dfw metroplex.

Having visited London and switching my iPhone off and on again, it changed to the correct time and hasn't changed yet now i'm back in Kent!

I have 3 iPhones and 2 of them have the time issue if on the 3G network in Keller or Southlake. I just left the Apple store and they informed me that this is a local issue to DFW and it is a sim card issue. When I swap the sim card from the one good phone into one of the other 2 phones, the time moves with the card. Apple told me that it is due to where the sim card is initialized in the metroplex. I went to ATT in Southlake, they said that they had not heard of this issue, but swapped the sim card anyway. Turns out this did not help because Southlake is one of the areas that appears to be problem. If you go toward DFW airport, the time will correct itself. So my assumption is that need to get a new sim card in an area that the time is actually reading correctly at that time. ATT appears to have server issues on the Keller, Southlake towers, but they will not admit it!

Is anyone using a microcell? I notice that my 3GS always drops behind 4 minutes on microcell and sometimes drops 4 minutes when hitting various 3G towers. Just curious if anyone else uses a microcell?

I bought the 3G Microcell back in March 2010. I haven't had any time issues. However, I do have a location issue. When I'm connected to the Microcell, it says my location is in a city that's 130 miles west of me. I called AT&T about it. They said it's a glitch, they've never heard of this and they'd get on it. Hmm... yeah.

So any apps that use locations, pinpoint me in the wrong location. Fantastic.

Same issue here....my wife and I got new 3GS's on Sunday (7-18) and I've noticed that "my" time is slow "around" 4 mins.....her's "seems" to be more or less correct (haven't looked at her's closely yet). As has been mentioned, if I turn 3G off, the time is correct.....just seems strange that the problem isn't with "both" phones. I'm in northern Denton County TX (just north of DFW area).

I had the same problem except mine was off by exactly 30 minutes. Restarted the phone and BAM as if magic the time was right on the money again. Problem solved

Well, as of the past few days, mine has started keeping the correct time with 3G "on".....guess "something" changed "somewhere".

Wash DC here. Same problem. When on automatic, iPhone 5 mins. ahead.

I have the iPhone 4 and so does my husband, mine is always two minutes slow. Also have the microcell and ours shows our location 40 miles south of where we are really located.

Update, I had this same issue only my phone was off by a little over a minute. What I did to fix it was go in and manually set the time 2 minutes behind and then back out and then set Automatic setting and then the phone changed to the exact time as compared to a stratum1 network time source. Try this out and see if it works for you.

Today I noticed similar issue with my iPhone 3G running iOS4. It shows correct time when running Edge but it is faster by 5 minutes when running 3G. Is it worth waiting or should I take my device to either ATT ro Apple? Restart and similar things have not been helpful.

same thing here. just noticed today. my phone is around 5:25 seconds fast. even if i set the time manually it's still 26 seconds faster. reboot does nothing. haven't tired syncing. in louisville, ky btw. will see how long it lasts.

using the latest ios4 update as well - which is a terrible, terrible, terrible experience that is 10x worse that version 3 - but i updated to this weeks ago.

will wait and see.

iPhone 4 here, Louisville area. I was in NYC from Friday until yesterday, and this morning I noticed my time was 5 minutes fast. After reading, turned off 3G, and sure enough, time was fixed. Turned on 3G again, and still good. Fingers crossed.
