iPhone 4S Set Automatic Time and Location Problem

iPhone 4S Set Automatic Time and Location Problem


Hi all,


I just checked my phone for the time and it said 21.20!! So I went into settings and the "Set Automatic Time" is on and my time zone is Baghdad!!! I live in the UK.


If I turn off Automatic time and put London the time is fine. So I thought I'd check the Maps App and it still has me in Baghdad for my location.


What is going on??


Ive reset the phone using the Home and top button but its still the same. i've also tried syncing it iTunes but still no change.


Any ideas?? Any help will be grateful, thank you.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

Sorry... Another 'same here' reply, but no solution.. I am in Scotland but my phone insists I'm in Minsk! I know it's cold outside, but really....


It happened to me yesterday for the first time, but reset to the right time within a few hours. Hope it will do the same again soon...


Woah... Even as I speak I have now gone back to UK time... Weird...What's going on?


Any solutions form anyone out there?

Hey guys !

I had the same problem ! I live in France and since two days my Iphone 4S checked me at Zhengzhou in China ! I went in an Apple store today and the seller told me that he had the same problem with his own Iphone (in Russia^^).

I try a lot of things, and I think that I fixed the problem (I am currently in France^^).


I don't know the right name for you because mine is in french but:

-Go to "settings"

-"General"

-"Reset" at the bottom

and chosse "reset network settings"


For me it is good !

Hope I could help you

I know, same here, I'm the only one out of all my friends it has happened to! I'll try the new phone tomorrow and let you know how I get on. Good luck! I also tried the reset network and it worked for about an hour and then went back to the old problem!.Just now it comes and goes but it is really annoying!

Yeah Ive tried all the resets etc.. works for a little while then Im back in Baghdad lol 😟


Ok great, let me know tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if it makes a difference. Im not sure it will though as Ive read someone on here bought a brand new iPhone 4S yesterday. He turned it on and straightaway he was in China.


Good luck too 🙂
