I have one of the original iPhones. It has been working great, despite having taken a dip in the toilet. However, for the past week, randomly, it will display the wrong time. For instance, right now, it's 12:19 pm. My phone says 11:42 am. It's always pretty close to the actual time, so it's not a time zone issue. It is sometimes right, too. It's not a big deal, of course, but I was used to relying on my iPhone for an accurate time unlike my watch, which has a battery that can die without me knowing it. I use it as an alarm clock, but I've learned not to trust the time when I wake up.
Just wondering what the heck is going on with it? Anyone have a similar experience? I've noticed other odd things, like voice mails not showing up for a good amount of time after the phone call is received, text messages seeming to be delayed, and difficulty finding wifi connections.
Have had my 3G for almost 2 years now and it seems the GPS is not as accurate as it once was. I find that many times when driving, the blue dot in google maps will be up to 3-4 streets off. My girl friend's GPS on her 3G is even worse. Her's will sometimes take up to 45 seconds longer than mine to zero in on our location. Fresh OS install doesn't appear to make a difference. I feel like the GPS wasn't this bad when I first bought the phone.Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I ran a marathon today and when I crossed the start line (stepped on the mat to start the running chip)I started my watch. A few seconds after finishing I stopped it. The watch is about 3minutes off from my chip time. why this would be different? Could the Marathon time not be accurate or is it the MOTOACTV. I have the 8 gig watch...it was fully charged when I started. 3 minutes is a big difference. I didn't lose any signal while running.
My iPhone 3GS is set to change time automatically with the Daylight Savings change. That worked as the phone time itself is correct, but the times for the different places in the built-in World Clock app are still off by an hour (they are on the old time). This is also true of my husband's iPhone 3G. Strangely, I have an iPod touch that adjusted both its system time and the World Clock times without difficulty.
I have tried syncing the phone, toggling on/off the update time automatically, and rebooting, but the time is still incorrect. If I try adding a new place, it will also have the wrong time.
There may also be an issue with other apps - the ESPN app had the start time of a game today off by an hour as well.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Edit: To clarify, the times are wrong for US cities that do observe DST, such as New York, Chicago, etc.
my iphone is displaying the wrong time and says it is 1st january 1970... it also keeps hiding text conversations so i cant get onto them...how can i fix this?

Basically I had a previous iPhone 4. The GPS on it was really accurate and always managed to pinpoint my location to within 5 metres. It was also extremely responsive and would update my position the moment I started moving. However it had a dot on the screen so I had it exchanged.On my new iPhone 4 the tracking is still accurate, but just not as good as before. It often shows me quite a bit further away than I really am. On top of that, my position will keep moving even when I'm standing perfectly still, whereas my previous iPhone 4 would just stay locked on to me completely. Furthermore it has a lag issue. Whenever I start moving, it takes about 10 - 15 seconds before it starts updating my position again. Whenever I stop, it takes awhile for it to realize that I have stopped moving as well, and my position on screen will fly further ahead than my actual position. After that it will slowly move back towards me and start jumping a bit again.
Lastly, whenever my previous iPhone 4 managed to lock onto a GPS signal, it would pretty much almost have no blue-circle unless I zoomed in really close. However with my newer iPhone 4, it constantly appears and disappears again. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any solutions? Should I get it changed, again?
In the iPhone 4 or 4s, I know that I can see the time of the missed call in the notification, in the 3gs, will I only see the name of the person who called without the time beside it?
I recently (an hour ago) had my iPhone stolen, so I went to MobileMe and tracked it. It said it is about 26 KM away. My question is, how accurate is MobileMe?
But Ive just started using an app to track my bike rides. I just start the app, throw my phone in my bag and forget about it till I get home. I've been turning off 3g as the gps alone is a battery hog, however does the 3g signal aid the gps using triangulation or something?
Please state your phone provider and what app your are using to determine your current location.For me IP4, O2, Google maps, I'm about 1.5 miles away from myself in London.Personally I think it makes a mockery of the find my iPhone/iPad app.I guess with a TomTom app it's using satellites so would be more accurate?
I set up the time capsule today and connected my MBP and a windows laptop to it. The iphone 4s connected smoothly to the time capsule and see full wifi strength on the phone. The internet connection on the phone is however very patchy. I get the connection for about 1sec and then drops off for the next few seconds. I have checked the connection using speed test. The internet connection is however working fine on the MBR and the windows laptop.
My phone hasn't backed up in six weeks. It is on Wi-Fi, plugged in, and locked. Data size is around three gigs. It says estimated time 37 hours, or gets stuck on "estimating backup time." It also Will not work manually. I was also unable to upload a five minute movie.
I have iOS 7.1.2. I have an iPhone 5 64 GB with Verizon. I wished to restore my phone to a previous time. I have a backup file from December 6th 2014, November 27 2014, and January 1 2014. The backup files are anywhere from 30-35 GB. When I attempt to restore my phone, it takes a long time, typically 4ish hours. I have tried multiple backups and am getting the same error Â
It will run fine the ENTIRE time, then when it gets to 0 minutes left and completes, I get an error. It tells me that the backup is corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that I am using. All of these backup files were created within Itunes. All of these backup files were created with the same phone I am trying to restore to. I have no other iphones, iPad, or apple devices. I am restoring from a PC with an Intel i7 processor. I am running no other programs while iTunes is restoring and I have updated to the most current version of iTunes.Â
Why are my backups considered corrupt or incompatible and how do I fix this?Would updating my phone to iOS 8 hinder this?Is there a program or way that I can get the data/photos from the backup files.
Wanted to know how accurate the date stamp on a picture taken on the IPhone. Meaning does it know exactly when the picture was taken and it that an exact match when it comes up in ITune or is it the date that it was downloaded to ITunes.
I Bought an iPhone 5c 2 weeks ago and am with T mobile for the first time. I use my phone mainly for texts, hardly ever for calling. My call history shows approx 30 mins of calls, even rounding up those of less than 1 min. However, the voice usage, shown in my settings is 1 hr 29 mins. How can this be? Are there other things that use voice data that I just don't know about? I have had no voicemail messages so haven't called voicemail. I have made no FaceTime calls. My monthly limit is 100 mins which I have never used before but am at risk of doing so if I can't work out why there is such a discrepancy.
Problems with Galaxy s2 rebooting and the signal issue for me is the worst my friends are constantly complaining that they can't reach me getting a message I believe it is because my signal is so weak any other phone I have ever had I have always got full signal bars at home but I am lucky if I get 1 bar with the s2.
My Lumia 1020 is not showing the correct time of day (about 2.5 hours fast). When I got it, it did show the correct time of day, but now it doesn't, maybe this could be because I haven't put a sim card in it and activated it yet (just been using the camera).
I'm about to loose hope on my Nokia 5230. The first was the battery problem. It was empty in a day and a half on very moderate use (swiched off during the night). When I recalibrated the battery the things got better but still far away from the specs on Nokia site. And yes; I have tried all the tricks to save the energy (GSM only, 30% screen brightness, no bluetooth,....).
The second I discovered, that the GPS is basicly useless. It wont lock on the sattelites no matter what.The GPS was one of the main reasons to buy 5230. If someone got lucky to find some sattelites - how good is the accuracy? Is in the range of 6 meters or less as with Garmin?
Now I have discovered, that the clock is not showing the right time. It is loosing minutes as someone said to it that one hour has only 59 or 58 minutes. I still have to discover the logic how the clock is counting minutes. I have tried with and without automatic time update. By the way; the phone has the last firmware.
So if the clock is useless then the alarm is useless and I can't use it on my buisness trips.
Is there anyone else with the same problems? Is there any solution to this clock problem? Some settings I've missed?
Someone would say; for the price everything can not be perfect.
So, is this the logic (Nokia logic):
-we will put in the GPS, but because of a low price it won't find some sattelites
-we will put the battery in the phone but because of the low price it won't last more than two days
-the phone will have the clock but because of the low price it will not show the right time
When I get a new text message, there is a small envelope icon/symbol that shows up in that box area as described above. What is that area called? And now I have this globe looking icon/symbol on that box area and I have No idea what that means. How to even find what the symbol is telling me....i.e. the envelope tells me I have a new text message. I want to know what this globe symbol tells me.
After Marshmallow Update, my Nexus 5 behaving Strangely - Showing Incorrect Time & After Restarting Showing Correct Time.

The Clock Running Slow, Sometimes 1 & 1/2 Hours Times Back & Sometimes 2 Hours Back.
After Restarting, Shows Correct Time, Again After Sometime The Clock Runs Back.
After Manually Setting The Clock, The Problem Still There.
On this day my Nexus 5 Clock was a day Off Like The Time Displayed on My clock was 6::30 Pm Thu 22 2015 Whereas The Actual Time was 7:37 Fri 23 2015 & when I set the Date & Time Correct, This is what Displayed on my Screen.

Anyway, my 5800 had an infamous vertical stripes issue. I sent it to one of my local Nokia service centers. They replaced the screen. The new screen-while doesn't have the vertical stripes-looks worse than the old one (minus the vertical stripes issue that kept coming and going on the old screen). The new screen has a yellow tint to it; it becomes much more apparent when not viewing the screen from a direct angle. (In other words, white appears somewhat yellow.) Also, the new screen is somewhat blotchy (kind of like bruises); the color is uneven -- this becomes very apparent when viewing a solid colour image file. (The worse part is the top portion of the screen-about 0.8 cm in length-which appears noticeably darker than the rest.)There was also a tiny crack (about 0.2 cm in length) on the bottom of the frame surrounding the screen.OK, so I didn't complain about the yellow screen and that tiny crack when I received my 5800 back from the service center. My bad. (I was in a rush to go to a movie.) Those imperfections bugged me somewhath, but I can live with them. What I'm really upset about is that I think the GPS does not perform as well as before I sent it to the repair center.
So here's the question: How accurate is your GPS?Before my 5800 went to the service center, I'm pretty sure its GPS was pretty much spot on. But after it came back, the best it can get in term of accuracy is around 10m on a very very very very very rare occasion and 15m on very very very rare occasions. Most of the times it showed that I was about 100-150m from where I actually was. This is all when the 5800 is not moving.When I used it inside a moving car, before it went to the service center, the GPS was spot on - even without A-GPS. Now even with A-GPS and edge on, it can barely keeps up; it's like it's lagging 500 m behind and sometimes showed that the car was on the side of the road that the car was not. Sometimes, it even showed that the car was somewhere that was actually quite far from the actual position. I went back to the technician; he said that it's not hardware-related. He said it's software, because my phone still detects the satellites. So he basically flashed the firmware again-according to what he told me. He also told me to reinstall the (ovi) maps, which I did. I don't think these really fix the issue. So before I went back to the repair center, I want to know how accurate are your GPSs?
I've been using my Nokia C5-00 for about a year now without any problems. Recently however, it started to show wrong time (like it was going too fast). The offset is usually about 15-30 minutes forward. Initially I thought that its just few seconds per minute faster than it should be (like a normal mechanism watch) and I tried to explain it with processor clock being somehow off, but I noticed that it must at one point just skip these several minutes.
I've never spotted this "skipping" explicitly but it happens once per 10-15 hours, I guess. E.g. it shows proper time the whole day and when I go to sleep but next morning its off several minutes. It happens both with automatic time update On and Off. I haven't updated my software for a couple of months now, but the one I got is up to date (according to Ovi).
