What network are you on?
The solution is to turn off "automatically set date/time" in Settings > General > Date/Time and set it manually. I'm reporting this to some IT news people to try and find out more.
Got a tip for us?

wrong time and date this morning
Hi I had the same issue this morning.
I fixed it by synch the Iphone with ITunes. I tried everything else before and nothing else worked.
It seems a bug affecting the Iphone 3G, the new release 4.2 should fix it. I am afraid that untill the new release is ready we cannot trust the Iphone time.
Cheers

Exactly the same problem... I have t-mobile in Holland, but it seems as it's not an issue of the provider as the same problem occurs in the UK. It might have to do something with the DST shift in the US from last Sunday (I guess) which causes a bug
anyone found an answer yet?

wrong time when on "set automatically"
Hi, I was having the same problem, got up late this morning because my iphone was 53 mins out... tried a couple of things, switch automatically off and back on, reboot the phone, but in the end what worked was syncing it with my itunes... I had the "set automatically"switched off while i did it though, i dont know if that made a difference.
Hope that helps

Turning my iphone off and on fixed it. I also removed the sim card and put it back in to be safe.
I tried restarting various times but it didn't work for my iPhone. I havn't tried removing the sim card.
When I synced it with iTunes, as mentioned in a previous post, the time-set-automatically switch was on.
I have gone back 3 days and 6 hours
I thought it was just my phone until I searched here and it seems to be quite a common problem. I will have to wait until I get home but I switched off the automatic resetting of the time and date and reset manaually. When I switched it back to automatic it jumps back 3 days and 6 hours! Mad!

Nov 7? Its Nov 11!
Same problem here. Alarm didn't go off because the date changed to Nov 7 and time to 1957 even though its Nov 11 and 6.40am.
On the 3 network in Australia. Running 3GS with iOS4.1.
Glad I'm not the only one with the problem! Anyone know what's causing it?

the same
I have the same problem with my iphone, my providers is 3 from Denmark.. It shows 4 days in the future and the wrong time. And it is affecting dropbox and some other apps, because they're not able to update because of the difference of time...
Any solution?
I knew it was a mistake to by an apple product, I'm looking forward changing it to an android...
Mac and Windows sucks!!!

After having exactly the same problem I routed around for a while and found a solution. Simply go to preferences and delete the existing backup that the iPhone was saving to. Once you reconnect your iphone and resynch the time reverts back to normal. Hope it works for you too !

solved!
Yay, the auto set is working on my 3Gs iOS4.1 again...!
I tried all sorts of resyncing methods with iTunes but nothing worked, so i backed up my iphone (like usual with iTunes), restored it back to its factory settings, then "restored from backup".
Now my iphone shows the correct time/date on auto set. whew.
the above sounds like a good solution, too. hadn't tried this one this time, but maybe i'll try it next time! (fingers crossed that i won't need to...)

I had similar problem and searched various threads ... some said the iPhone gets its time from AT&T but I'm in the UK so mine probably comes from O2. I searched for O2 time server and found someonesaying the O2 time server in UK is not working; it was about Broadband but it gave me a simple idea.
1. Take the iPhone off "automatic"
2. Set the date and time manually.
Not sure yet whether to put it back to automatic though, in case I forget about it when the daylight saving changes.

That will just allow you to set the correct time when you enter it manually. It will eventually be off again.
my clock advanced 2 hours, 12 minutes this morning (so I'm awake a little earlier than usual!) and like a few people here, I fixed it by re-syncing with iTunes (actually all I had to do was plug the phone in and open iTunes; no syncing). This is the first time it's happened, and I'm fairly sure that although it might have been connected when my mac went to sleep, the clock wasn't wrong on the phone until some time overnight (when it was plugged into the wall, not the mac). I'd be interested to know what's causing this...
