Here
's a poser for the experts among you: Does anyone know which time server the
iPhone updates its clock by, or how?
Common sense would tell us it either gets it from the Mac it's
synced to, or online from a specified server (in which case a server endorsed
by Apple), but whatever the case it should tell the same time
either way, right?
Maybe it's just my unit, but my automatically-time-synced desktop Mac and my iP
hone are constantly five minutes apart. I can't find a time-server choice anywh
ere on the iPhone's settings, or on iTunes.
Why is my iPhone always 5 minutes late? That's a big deal. It syncs to somethin
g for sure - I know this because I sometimes manually set it to the right time,
but after syncing it with iTunes, it moves back again.
A possible answer is that it time-syncs with the carrier it's connected to (in
my case Smart), but I can't tell for sure.
This mystery bugs me no end.
we all knew that all hitech stuff has its own error maybe ur problem is one of
them for apple to solve it tooks alot of time to solve but still i wish mac do
the move for it
that is pretty mysterious. did u check if there is like an auto-update thing? o
r maybe the network is really delayed with its time. but five minutes is pretty
bad. there's a lot lost at that couple of minutes
That's the problem of using unauthorized iphone (jailbreak). Some bugs are not
fixed because its not getting the latest updates. You have lived with a hacked
iphone, then you can spare the 5 min difference and other bugs, thats the downs
ide of it, live with it =)
@JJ's Dad: What updates am I not getting? I'm already at Firmware 1.1.4.
i dont think it's a mac problem alone... my sony ericsson k850i is also always
5mins late... i manually adjust it... and find it 5mins late again after synchi
ng it with my laptop... and I'm a Globe subscriber... so it's not particularly
SMART problem either...
