Axim X50v not keeping correct time

FreakyFranks · 02-02-07, 02:36 PM

I have searched for 3 days on a slooow internet connection to try and find out why my x50v is not keeping correct time. Every time I turn it off, it looses an hour or two or three, and because of this, my alarms don't work. I am running WM5 A02. I haven't found a thread on this subject yet, and was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. Of course, when I sync it auto-corrects, but this does me no good if I'm using it as an alarm clock.

If there is a thread on this, someone please point it out to me. I CAN'T FIND IT!!

Maybe the backup battery is getting weak?
Or the WM5 is causing it.

pretty sure WM5 isn't causin it he must have an incorrect time zone selected.

Thats an Idea, check Time zone, but considering he keeps correcting the Time, I think he would have saw the Time zone change.

still u shouldn't blame it on WM5, its not at all like it was when it first came out and even then it wasn't THAT dumb to forget the time.

Thanks for such a quick response. You guys rock. The time zone is correct, and I'm even trying to run SPB Time in the main memory, but it just syncs with the system time, which keeps stopping when I turn it off. I don't think it is WM5, as more people would be having the same problem. I've tried the "wake-up" tweak and "wake up to full power" tweak, and it still loses time.

After much tinkering and resets, I think I've isolated the problem down to battery swapping. I tested 3 alarm times and they all worked, until I swapped to my extended battery later. I played on it for a while, shut it off, then turned it on later to find that the time was the same as when I turned it off 4 hours before. There is another thread here: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=141233 regarding problems with battery swapping. The extended battery is causing this somehow.

WTF, duck?

Is there any registry settings that have to do with the battery and how the system senses it?

I found a setting in SPB Pocket Plus that fixed the clock problem. In the Advanced Settings in Tools, is a box I checked for "Enable Repeating Alarms Support". BAM! My clock started working while turned off, only if I don't swap batteries. Now to figure out the battery dilemma....
