Hi,
Seems like random start and end days, months and times are being saved each time I hit save and try to fix it.

Is there a workaround to get this working? or is it working for everyone else?

Thanks
Dave

Same thing happening here on both of my NG Amigas.

I am experiencing odd behaviour with the time and calendar as well. It seems to forget the time every time I shutdown. It doesn't reset to any certain date, just fails to keep up with passing time.

You are probably right. I will just try a new one.

Thanks

IIRC doing "setclock reset" may also help on some h/w.

Maybe not...I have similar problem with my x5000... few days ago I had dead PSU and after I changed it with new one, and replaced clock battery, I have problem with time.

I can not get clock to work correctly, after I power off x5000 and run it again, time is started from time when I shut down Amiga. So, battery it works because it remember time and, only I think that something is wrong with OS4 and saving time to board.

Before I changed battery, everything was fine. Also, I tried three new batteries. And, I read that some other Amigans have the similar problem with x5000.

For now I am getting time via Mr.Wolf app from Os4Depot

As salass00 suggests above, try "setclock reset". Your description also sounds to me like that could help.

I tried already but no luck. I wrote that command in shell after I set up clock in Time Prefs. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

What version of battclock.resource do you have installed ("version full battclock.resource")?

There were some fixes made for the X5000 and A1222 in 2022.

@all

If you're sure it's not the battery, do this right after
Quote:

AddNetInterface >NIL: <NIL: *>NIL: QUIET "DEVS:NetInterfaces/~(#?.info)"

in
s:network-startup

Quote:

date SERVER xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where xxx is the IP address of the time server of your choice.

It will not save it your battery clock, rather will it simply update and use the internet time (so, no strain on your clock battery ... if there is any on saving to it, that is).

I too suffer from a roughly two seconds loss on every reboot and this fixes it just fine.

my battclock.resource version is 54.1 (01.05.16), where I can find and download last version?

Well, after "setclock reset" the current time needs to be saved into the batterybacked clock. So after the reset, set the system time (using the date command or your Time prefs), then do a "setclock save".

But if that doesn't help, then your problem must be a different one.

Best regards,

Niels

The X5000 and A1222 clock chips behave slightly differently from the chips used in earlier machines and the battclock.resource had to be upgraded for them. Not all machines were affected, it worked OK about 50% of the time.

As salass00 said, there was a new version of battclock.resource released to betatesters last year to fix this problem. It has not been released to the public yet.

Do you mean the TimePrefs from Enhancer? It's fairly broken. I haven't seen it randomly change although I have seen it fail to correctly calculate the date as per the rules you select in the UI.

Yeah, I also think it is broken: https://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8930
