Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My iphone 5c currently started displaying the wrong time. I hadnt updated the software yet and thought this was the source of the issue. After the update was complete the time was still incorrect. I have tried syncing my phone with itunes, deleting world clocks, doing hard resets, even wiped the phone back to factory settings. Nothing has worked 😕
iPhone 5c, iOS 7.1
The issue here is most likely due to the Y2 Crystal Oscillator not resonating properly. This is a common problem with the iPhone 5c. The only way ITB can be replaced is by soldering a new one onto the logic board, getting a new logic board, or just replacing the phone completely. Sometimes though, a simple Auto date and time switch or some other suggestions will fix the problem and even a factory reset will too.
If the Y2 Crystal Oscillator is not functioning, you might also get symptoms like wifi cutting out every ~15 minutes, Bluetooth not working, Date and time issues, and gps issues.
I've had this issue for a year now and ive gotten used to it.
Started about ios 8.1.2, now running 10.3.3. Did about 5 factory resets since first noticing.
(Add 5c support to ios 11 please Apple)
Did you try the suggestions in the post by JLG Composer?
I have gone to multiple apple stores, tried everything they have said, and tried everything I've read online. Nothing works to fix this issue. I was told to get a new phone.
Hello I just face this problem in uae 3 days ago with iPhone 5c I called apple trouble shoot an hour nothing happen almost 4 times did hard reset I loose everything including contact really very frustrating and want to phone in dust bin as with out alarm no use all log I check everything mention tried I did 3 times power button press 3 second and 10 sec home button than release power button hold for 15 second home button phone turns to recover mode in iTunes as per apple support but really nothing happen
Waiting for some hope some one will tell some thing new which will fix that issue
I Don't know if you have been away abroad or in another time zone but I believe that's what is causing this issue. Quick fix 🙂
1. Go to settings>date&time>set automatically>on (if it's already on turn it off and back on)
2. Go to settings>privacy>location services>on (same again if it's already on turn it off and back on)
3. Finally settings>airplane mode (turn it on and wait 10 seconds then turn it off)
FIxed 🙂 Worked on mine please let me know if it helped

good thing is that phone will keep time perfect until it is not connected to Internet once connect with Internet problem starts in short iOS developer have to do some thing
Ok So here's what's happening, it's a hardware issue Apple are aware of, there is a timedate chip within the handset and a cmos battery, either have failed, now here's your options. If you have ever had your screen replaced don't even bother with Apple they will say it's not covered, if not go to apple and tell them its a known fault, you should end up with a swap out. quote consumer law.
check me out on Facebook. Wheyiman
The internal clock for the phone is within the CPU and there is no CMOS battery in an iPhone.
Do you have a cite for this hardware issue you are claiming exists?
I had this exact same problem, I tried everything that this thread and other suggested. I followed JLG Composer's suggestion last night and additionally reset my location settings and it has been working through the morning - so I am crossing my fingers that this lasts! Thanks JLG Composer!
How can I find the JLG composer intructions to fix the clock??
how can I find the JLG composer instructions to fix the clock? Please help.
I don't know if it will help, I had this problem for about two weeks and I just went to settings> icloud > and turned off find my phone
my 5c corrected the time instantly even after all previously mentioned methods failed.
I will respond/ edit this post if the problem comes back

Have you considered reading the thread to find the post you are looking for ?
Did you manage to work out what was wrong? I'm having the exact same issue which started yesterday afternoon! 😐
Why does the iPhone 5c display wrong time?
