AT&T's clock is slow

[runninmac]

I was wondering if this was just my phone but my phone 3 minutes and 58 seconds off! Thats just ridiculous!

ps: I realize that you can change the time in the settings

AT&T is like 30 seconds behind for me too. It's annoying.

ATT Ok, but iPhone 8 seconds slow.

My iPhone is 9 seconds slow here in Tucson. But my wife's non iPhone
is right on the money! She's ATT also.

Long Island, NY

My iPhone in only about 1.5 seconds behind.

Everyone should also remember that if you're checking the time over the internet it's liable to be off by a few seconds just due to servers and routers and whatnot.

I wouldn't take anything as 'wrong' unless it's more than 10 seconds off.

4 seconds slow in Ft Lauderdale, FL
Not a big problem for me =)

About 1 second slow in Madison, WI. I think I'll survive.

I just checked mine against both of the atomic clocks in my house (another watch/time geek here), and AT&T was only behind by about 1.5 seconds. I can live with that. 😛

I didn't even think about the difference between GSM and CDMA for the clock, because I'm so used to my Verizon phones being spot on. I'm glad it was so close, because I don't need another thing to obsess over. 😉


I'm in Long Beach, BTW.

I'm heartened to see that the complaints about the iPhone have dwindled to where we complain about AT&T timekeeping.

A friend of mine had his iPhone display 12 minutes slow a few weeks ago, but his coworker's iphones were all right on.

 

[dmize]

Mine's almost exact, about a second or two off.

2G time Slow.

Hello,

Whenever I am on Edge (2G) my clock is 3 or so minutes slow. On 3G, it is only 1.5 or so seconds slow. This really confused me during school today and I nearly missed my train. Luckily my watch was right.

I'm kind of a watch geek and noticed that AT&T's time displayed on my iPhone is about 00:01:40 (1 min 40 secs) behind my atomic watch. You can verify this your self at the time.gov web site. My Verizon phone was almost spot on. I don't know if this varies area to area or if it is nation wide. No big deal but made me go hmmm.

Yup, I noticed this too. I'm in NYC and it's always around a minute slower.

Same here, 1-2 seconds slow on Long Island.

AT&T seems to be 3 or 4 seconds fast in Elizabethtown, PA.

A good time site compensates for the delay by testing.

For example, http://www.time.gov often shows that its display is within 0.2 seconds.

 

[Pared]

While this thread is incredibly old, I'm only a whopping .5 seconds behind in NYC.

 

[redcupr]

One whole second slow here in Seattle. Guess I can't sleep in...

 

[xcel360]

Miami, FL 2secs behind 😀

 

[VulchR]

Scotland here - 5 hours late. 😡

Oh wait....

 

[admo]

Westfield, NJ is 26.5 seconds slow. I doubt anybody here lives there anyway, but whatever.

Heh, I'm in Fanwood, just a town over. My phone is only behind about 2 seconds.

 

[helloimD4NNY]

My phone is half a second behind. On time.gov it'll turn --:--:17 then my phone will turn --:--:17 time.gov turns --:--:18 my phone turns --:--:18 and so on. 🙂

Oh! I'm in Las Vegas, NV if that matters.

 

[ucfgrad93]

Mine is about 8 seconds slow. Not a big deal.

 

[jav6454]

congratulations, we just independently confirmed the theory of relativity.

well done.

You sir, read my mind. For curiosity, mine is 7 secs behind... is it the end of the world because of that? No.

Haha I'm in Parsippany, N.J. and mine was 00:01 behind. That's odd.
