Phone resets itself to January 1980

solarpwrdclb

For the past five days or so, my iPhone 5 (os 7.0.4) will arbitrarily reset itself to January 5, 1980; this happens only at home. The phone could be charging, or not charging. It's completely arbitrary.

Upon a hard shutdown (home key/power off) and restart, the date and time will reset itself back to current.

I've got a visit to the Mac store later today, but I'm curious if anyone else has had this issue, what it was and how it was solved.

Thanks much.

Yes, I am having the same problem and I noticed it two days ago. It is now January 9, 1980 on my iPhone 5. The time is also off by about 20 minutes and it does not connect to our cell provider at the house but my husband's phone still does ( he has an older iPhone ). Now my phone keeps searching and wearing the battery down. What is wrong?? Any help would be appreciated. It is good to know I am not the only one with this problem.

ahh im glad i found someone who also has the same problem. I've taken it in to the genius bar at apple and reset all settings, reset network settings, and restored to factory settings. Today i even got my phone replaced. It's not an iphone issue according to apple - it's the carrier's issue because the way that it determines date and time is through cellular towers. this started happening last week. It ONLY happens at home and i need this to be fixed because it prevents calls, imessages, and since the time is off my alarm clock won't go on time.

edit: iphone 5 with ios 7.0.4

Ahh! What I would do to go back to January 9, 1980! Lets try to reset your network settings! Go to settings, general, reset, reset network settings. If that does not work, go to settings > general > Date & Time > turn off set automatically then back on. Test out and let us know how it goes.

Thank you,

I tried the network settings and it did not make a difference. same with the set date/time automatically. I spoke with a Verizon rep and he sent me a new SIM card to see if that resolves it. I will let you know when I get it and see if that was the solution.

We appreciate you ALL for bringing this to our attention & doing the troubleshooting you have done so far.

I want to make sure we are able to determine why the phone is displaying the incorrect date.

I'm wondering what state you all live in. (Want to determine if this is a regional situation)

Thanks for your cooperation.
