Why does it lost its hour?

(1/3) > >>

Soader03:
Sometimes when I power on my gigabeat, all is fine, but not the hour setting. It says --:-- at the place of the hour. I have to set it another time. And I use my gigabeat as a watch, and it happens when there is no watch near... So why?

Thanks

Llorean:
Usually this means you've flipped the battery switch.

bascule:
There is a known problem with Gigabeat clocks becoming 'unset'. I have no idea whether anyone is working on it, and there does not even appear to be a bug report filed.

It happens on mine, too, but I have never been able to determine any repeatable circumstances that cause it to fail.

@ Llorean: the battery switch (obviously) definitely causes it, but it does happen other times that are not nearly so obvious.

Soader03:
I guess it's when you power off, sometimes there's an error and the RTC shuts down too. I'm not sure, you know, I'm an "expert" :P

No Llorean, I'm not dumb at this point, lol

Llorean:
Well, provide information on how to to reproduce it, if you're an "expert."

I've got two Gigabeats, and it doesn't happen on either. I won't say it doesn't happen, but I do have to ask the obvious questions because you didn't answer them in advance by providing information on how to reproduce it.
