Date randomly sets to 2008 on 1G Nano

<< < (2/2)

gbl08ma:
Only the year changes... perhaps it's an unreported Rockbox bug, but I think that if such problem occurred on more 1st gen Nanos, we would get more people complaining...

Try to bring the subject to the IRC channel if you haven't done so, or if you're confident it's a Rockbox problem go ahead and file a Flyspray bug report.

RockBoxFan:
I'm not sure how many 1G Nano users are out there.  If so, please speak up!  In the mean time, I will try to replicate the problem.  Thanks for the info.

RockBoxFan:
I am still trying to duplicate this problem at will.  There are several things I have found:

1)  The year changes when the Nano is powered off, then on
2)  The year always changes to 2008
3)  ONLY the year changes...not the month, not the day, AND, not the day of the week!  So, it is actually showing an invalid date! For example, for today it would show "Wed 01/18/08" even though that should be a Friday.

Does this sound like a failure of my hardware, or could it be a bug?

Thanks.

gbl08ma:
I'd say it is a failure of the RTC... I'm no expert in any way though.
