iPhone 5 time and date issues

Black iPhone 5, 16gb, Verizon, Honolulu

And

White iPhone 5, 16gb, Verizon, Honolulu

Mine isn't just off by 30 min. Today the black one was off by 15 days plus 6 hours and 12 minutes when I pulled it off the charger. The white one is my wife's and she complained yesterday evening that she had to fix the time 4 times throughout the day. This isn't going to work out if this cant be fixed soon

Thanks, I will try when I get home. I have left it on manual and it seems ok. Question though, if I switch to automatic, go to a different time zone, will it change the times of my appointments on my calendar? My whole family uses the calendar, so I can't have that changing just because I'm out of town. Thanks for the help!

This has not fixed my issue, After talking to apple I did a restore and set up the phone as new and the issue is still happening for me. Time goes to some weird AM hour and August 24th. Verry Verry Frustrating!!!!!

My wife and I are having a similar problem. Around 7:30 in the morning, our Verizon iPhone 5's, 32G, one white and one black, seem to think it is around 10:22 PM. I'm not sure if the date was wrong, but will check if this happens again. We turned phones on and off and that corrected the time. We live in SW Washington state. When I called Verizon this morning, I was told they had not heard about this problem yet. Thanks to this forum, I know we are not alone.

Same issue here.

VZW iPhone 5, 16 gig Southern California

Per the instructions from a senior Apple Advisor I did a "wipe and restore" yesterday morning and set up as a new phone. (did not restore from back up). All was well this morning, however after spending about 2 hours on the charger this evening the problem is back again.

Very fusterating.

Same issue here. I have the 64g/black/Verizon iPhone 5 and I live in Southern California. This issue happens with or without the iPhone being charged, and in either the "manual" or "automatic" date and time setting. The one thing in common with my iPhone when this issue occurs, is when I'm at home...so far anyways. Apple and/or Verizon needs to fix this immediately, otherwise I'll be returning this device.

I've been having this problem too (32 GB iPhone 5 on Verizon). We just called Verizon, and they said they've had some reports of this problem, but it's nothing on their end. They checked the cell towers in our area (SF Bay Area) and the time is right on them. They said it's likely a software issue on Apple's end, so we should call Apple and tell them the problem and hope that they release a software fix for it.

Okay, so I called Apple and they said that this is a known issue and to fix the "minor glitch" as he called it, to simply do a Backup, and then to do a Restore, and that will resolve the issue. Well, I did exactly that last night and approximately 30 or 40 minutes after the Restore, my iPhone had the same issue, again. So, the easy fix was of no help.

Apple, if you're reading this, you had better find a solution quickly, otherwise I'll be forced to jump over to Samsung and become another Galaxy S3 user.

I've read elsewhere that the issue can actually be with the local cellular tower. When phones connect to a cellular tower it sync's up the time with it's own time.. so if the time on that particular tower is off, it will change your phone to that incorrect time. I know verizon has been adding additional LTE towers, maybe some of those new towers aren't handling the time correctly.

I emailed verizon customer support asking if this was the case, and while they said they had no incident reports in that area where my wife's phone changed back 7 hours, she hasn't had the issue since.

I'll update later when I stop by there, I hadn't stopped by personally since getting these verizon phone so my time has been fine.

I have noticed this same problem on my iphone 5 and I live around Greenville, SC and I am on the Verizon network. I called Verizon Thursday and they claimed to have not heard of such a problem, so I decided to wait and see if it still happens. As of this morning, it's still a problem and I've also noticed the date is wrong, showing a date of August something. Turning my phone off and back on has corrected the problem although somehow today, the time just updated when I started messing with my phone. I did not notice this problem until 9/25 and I've had my iphone since the release on 9/21. I need a fix soon since it is affecting my alarm which affects me getting to work on time!!

Yesterday I received this email response from a "APPLE iOS Senior Advisor"

I just got a response from our Engineers, at this time we cannot see anything wrong on our end, they did suggest that you contact Verizon and open up a "ticket" and have them look into it.

From what they can tell me, Verizon is the only carrier they have noticed having this issue with iOS 6 on the iPhone's.

I brought the issue to Verizon's attention on Monday 9/24. On 9/25 they passed me off to Apple. Now on 9/28 Apple hands it back to Verizon. Really...No one it taking ownership of the problem!!

IPhone 5. Verizon network. Have had this same problem twice. Noticed it first yesterday in iMessage and then again today. Changes my time by a week and 12 hours. Very annoying! A restart fixes it but the wrong times are recorded in iMessage. I have yet to contact Verizn or Apple. I am sick of them right now as it took me 3 days and countless hours of my life to get my dads defective iPhone 5 replaced. Bad SIM card reader!!!! Ahhhhh now a new issue, NICE!
