HifiWalker H2 - how to set date/time?

[Doghouse Reilly]

The date time settings work the same way as I am accustomed to with Rockbox on other players, except when I want to lock in the change.

It asks me "ON to set/OFF to cancel".   AFAIK the only ON/OFF button is the power button on the top, and no matter how I massage that button all it does is turn the player off....when I turn it on the time setting is unchanged.

The manual is no help.   What am I missing?  Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion, try hitting the play/pause button to save the time and date. It should be pretty easy to fix when I can get to it.

thank you -

Sorry for posting in a different hardware specific thread, but the same issue is present in Rockbox for Toshiba Gigabeat F and S, and Philips GoGear HDD6330 and HDD16x0.

The prompt to save the new date says: "On- set, Off- revert". In each case the play button is needed to save the date.

Ok, good to know. It looks like some devices need specific additions to https://github.com/Rockbox/rockbox/blob/299d255743342b2fcd1e6268d91cec562e47f268/apps/lang/english.lang#L3686-L3750, and probably a few other places in the lang file... Probably most all device-specific entries need updated some.

It's actually worse.  I've started to fix up all of the translations for the erosq and discovered that the some of them don't reference the same buttons as English..

Ugh...

I committed these changes last night, but only for the erosq.  the hdd16xx/63xx will need the new string translated and I'm trying to avoid that in case we roll a 4.0.1 soonish.

Thanks for doing that

With the ipodvideo and ipod6g there is a somewhat similar misstatement re a cancel button when Rockbox is building a lengthy playlist in response to the Playing Next... >> Play context menu items.  It states "(PLAY/PAUSE to abort)" but it's actually only the BACK/RWD button that will trigger an abort.  This is a longstanding condition and I think there are other situations where it also happens, though I can't remember what they are at the moment.

Another maybe issue in the H2 (and clones) manual -

Manual installation starts with

Installing the firmware
1.Download your chosen version of Rockbox from the links in the previous section.
2.Connect your player to the computer via USB as described in the manual that came with your player.
3.Take the .zip file that you downloaded and use the “Extract all” command of your unzip program to extract the files onto your player.
Note: The entire contents of the .zip file should be extracted directly to the root of your player’s drive.

Perhaps it should note that the player itself (at least mine) has no internal memory and that the zip flie should be extracted to the root of the SDXC card on which you want to install Rockbox.
