iPhone4 clock 44.5 seconds slow

It really doesn't matter that much ^_^

I wouldn't use it for syncing television broadcasts or skydiving.

I don't know the exact # of seconds mine is off, but it is 1 min or so slower than my sister's 3GS, work computer and IP phone.

Use NTPDate after jailbreaking.

Just curious, not trying to be ugly or anything, but how exactly does this matter in the real world?

It matters because some people want to know the "official" time. Just for giggles, let's say you want to volt and were running to stand in line because you knew you had 50 seconds to get there, but the person closing off the line had a different time...bam. Yes I know that makes no sense and is total bs, but I think you might get the point.

I know I set my watch by the atomic clock and it loses about a minute a week. Just something I do. Does it matter? No, for most it does not. I blame it on having a engineering degree.

Since this is just for giggles, in that situation I'd say you didn't plan well for contingencies. My point is that we can't assume anyone else in the world has their clocks sync'd exactly correct, so you have to allow for that. Whether your timepiece is a minute slow or fast shouldn't really matter. Just my opinion, I realize different people obsess over different things so different stuff is important to them. In the long run though it really just doesn't matter.

I blame it on having a engineering degree.

I believe there's therapy for that.

Your iPhone 4 clock isn't 44.5 secs slower.

Your iPhone 4 traveled 44.5 secs into the future.

There's an app for that!

Just download the sundial app. ;-)

my local internet time appears to be a few seconds slower than NIST. I did a power down and restart to see how it would re-sync.

Im still 3 seconds slow on the phone. annoying but what can be done.
