iPhone 4 displays incorrect time

It's 15:13:29 on the official US time site but my iPhone says it is 15:22. How can this be fixed? I've taken a screen shot and can email to you or post it on another forum that will make fun of Apple for getting something so simple all wrong.

May 26th, 2011 (+8 Hrs when set manually ;-) )


IOS 4.3.3


3GS: Suddenly my iPhone started to display the incorrect time. It was ahead 6 hrs & 12 mins. WT Heck? Yes, it's set to Auto. I removed the SIM and that didn't corect it. Synced to iTunes and that hasn't helped either.


Will just set it Manually.


Any fixes coming soon?


TIA

Looks like this has been going on for while now with no real resolution from Apple!

i have a 3GS running 4.3.3. No matter whih version of OS i am on, it still has the time issue.

The time on my ohone is 4 hours behind the actual time in my time zone.

The phone was activated in the correct time zone where i am and i have been having this issue for sometime now.

I am n Ireland and when i set the time to automatic, it is 4 hours behind. but when i travel to a different country in europe, lets say Italy, i set it to automatic and it displays the correct time.


its pretty annoying to have to keep changing from auto to manual time set as i travel a lot to different regions and countries globally!


Will there be an actual resolution from Apple? as i have not seen any info from Appe with regards to this issue!!!!

Dissapointing!

It just got me as well. 32gb 3GS running iOS 4.3.3


Currently 10.45pm on Tuesday 7 June but if I set to Auto Time it says it's 6.09pm on Thursday 16 June.


Have tried pretty much all the resets suggested here and nothing has worked. Can't see any cause for it either as it was fine this morning, has not been connected to a computer today and was suddenly out of whack mid-afternoon.


In Australia running on the 3/Vodafone network.

After traveling to the US from overseas, I found the automatic time feature not working. It seems to be stuck on the US zone we traveled to.... restoring to factory and resetting network is not resolving the issue. The only workaround seems to be setting it manually. We have 2 iphone 4's. The one not working was restored to the latest firmware.


Any other ideas for a fix. I've tried the iphone configuration tool to verify all settings but nothing seems to be working

This is exactly what happened to me--after travelling to the US, I couldn't get auto-correct to work. I did kloon's noo-clee-are solution and it started working again. Only problem after restore was having to reinstall the Apps, but wasn't forced to repay for any of them.


That being said, this is clearly a bug in the OS that should be fixed.
