I haven't synced my iPad in one month and the time is behind by 19 minutes! Does any one else have this issue?
Got a tip for us?

iPad clock ticks considerably slow.

That, is weird.
Especially weird that mine also lost ~19 mins. If you take it that it might have been 31 seconds out from my phone anyway, it would register as 19 mins difference too!
Could it be an app "stalling" the clock. What have we got in common OP!?
1. I have a jailbroken iPhone and use MyWi with one data contract and the ability to connect other devices to my wifi hotspot.
2. I have an iPhone with satnav app that I can actually attach to my dashboard/windscreen.
3. I have a watch.
Ummm... mine is 3G. Try again
Wow. I just assumed that the iPad reset it's clock based upon the cell or gps signal.
Do you have your location service turned on or off?
Mine is 3G and loses time occasionally. Interestingly enough, the app Emerald Observatory showed the correct time while the ipad's internal clock was off nearly 15 minutes.
Turning the iPad off then on reset the correct time, but it doesn't always remain so.
Ah good point! I activated the 3G plan yesterday (needed for a meeting) for the 1st time since getting my iPad, and switched off the cellular data after the meeting so that it doesn't accidentally eat into my 1Gb for the month!
Previous to this I have always had location services "on" but not always had cellular on, to save battery. It's the first time I've noticed the clock being out, so do you think it could be because I activated 3G then switched it off?
I noticed that the location services work even without a 3G data plan active, so where is it getting the clock sync signal from, and is that "free" so to speak?

Are you jailbroken too?

And yes, they do read them. They don't read the forums.

GPS signal has an accurate time signal encoded into the broadcast. Without an accurate time signal, the receiver would not be able to accurately fix your location.
