System time (Clock) changes on iPhone 5c

I should add that I have done factory resets several time with no luck.

I contacted apple support over the phone. They seemed interested in helping me. I tried all the resets again to appease them even though I had done them before and nothing worked. The support rep told me to go to the store and that it sounded as though it was a software compatibility issue. And that if it was the case they would swap for $100.

Made the appointment and went to the genius bar. When I told them what I was there for, they smiled and laughed at each other and said "oh that". When the guy came to help me. He took the phone did a hard reset (Home and Front buttons) and said if you have already reinstalled the iOS it must be a hardware issue and you phone is out of warranty. I can get you a replacement for $259.00. I asked how it could be a hardware issue when it started only after iOS 8 update? He just fed me a line of crap about how the new software was a larger file and that it was now occupying a location on the device that is corrupt so it only showed after the new larger file was installed..... I explained that this was complete BS and he just said the bottom line is he was not going to do anything for me other then the out of warranty replacement @ $259.00

Is anyone aware of any way to reinstall iOS 7.1.2 to see if it fixes the issue? My $ says it would....

Thank you. Very interesting! It is so amazing that they make tons of $$$ on these devices that people use for 2 years and move on, yet they can't replace a device that is obviously not going to work!

Just happened to turn the 5c back on today and saw that there is an 8.3 update so that's going now but I don't expect it will fix anything.

Any luck with the 8.3 update?

the phone (on wireless, not activated) has actually been working right since update (2 hours). If it continues then I might activate again!!

Mine is on AT&T so I'll update it tonight and throw in a Sim card and see if it works.... Not expecting much but at least if it works I could sell it and try to get some of the money back for the new phone that I had to buy for my wife.

Thanks for the update.

I Guess I spoke too soon, the time jumped back 10 minutes and Bluetooth not staying on. sorry. 😟 oh well....guess I will rock the iPhone 4 for another 6 months! Haha

Yep, problem remains after 8.3 upgrade. Although wifi seems more stabile, the system time stills jumps back and forth :-(

I never had a wifi issue. The bluetooth problem was driving me crazy because my fitbit wouldn't sync. I could almost deal with that and even the time issue since I don't use the alarms but it all started going downhill and texts and calls were acting up so I had to stop using it. I would reactivate it now if it would just be bluetooth and time issue because the 4 is so darn slow!

Considering Fitbit devices do not work with iPhone 4, there is no problem.

You need iPhone 4S or later. They use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as does the Fitbit.

The iPhone 4 does not use BLE so they will not work with Fitbit devices.

I know that. I meant the bluetooth not working on the 5c was driving me crazy because I couldn't sync my fitbit, which is all I was using the bluetooth for most of the time.

APPLE you just lost a customer. This has been a know issue since the 5c came out. I thought it was limited to VERIZON users. The fact that neither company will own the issue and make good on it, disgusts me after all the money they make!

Yeah bluetooth won't work for me either. It is stuck on a spinning loading wheel. It works sometimes, seemingly randomly.

I am Fighting this issue about 1 years.. Bluetooth not turn on, **** time is not working and wifi is not stable.. Maybe thousand people have same people and it is apple problem but there is no sound.. İt is so funny..

Somebody says in this post "I don't hear about it"

I have been having the same issues with the time. Nothing works. The date/time setting does not hold. And the WiFi doesn't seem to be working either. Even though I am connected, it eats my data. I have talked to Apple with no luck of course. It isn't specific to Version like I have seen in other posts because I am using ATT. I am so frustrated! Nothing seems to work. I am hoping ATT will replace the phone since it's not under warranty through Apple. This whole thing makes me want to throw up!
