After 15-16 hours my clock is wrong again 6 minutes ahead!!!!! I saw it again on Tv and chceked it at the web page too. Automatic time is off (because it was not working at all). I have iphone 4.3.3

Virtually ever computer clock loses time. That's not to say that it should lose (or gain) 6 minutes over less than a day.


At any point between setting the time correctly and then noticing it off again did you sync with a computer? If so, does that computer have the correct time? When syncing with a computer, if automatic time is turned off, iTunes will set the time on the device based on the computers time.

If you have not yet tried it, turn automatic time "on" and do a hard reset. Check the time in your call history "recent" and see if it is off as well. Try selecting 24 hr (military) time and see if that won't get it off the dime.....last but not least, make sure the time on your computer is the same just in case for some reason it is overwriting it on the phone (doubtful).

Syncing with PC was the problem. I feel really stupid, didn't expect it could have any connection. Even though I sync almost every day, I didn't yesterday and my time on iphone is correct (compares to that newsTV and web page with exact time) after almost two days and the time on my PC is wrong. Really had no idea.

Thank you all for your informations, I appologize for such a stupid question.
