M8S Time

Hi

Although i have the Automatic time update ticked, when i switch the box on the date shows 1st Jan 1970 and remains like that until i go to date/time settings and manually arrange the date/time!

What can i do please?

thank you.

 

Do you have the m8 hardwired or wireless ? If it's hardwired can you see the "two computer screen" icon ? It might need a minute or two to update ?

 

M8s is connected through Ethernet with wire but still does not update at all even after a long time.

 

.....and i can see the two computer screen icons.

Thanks

 

Can nothing be done please?

 

Haven't come across this problem so just guessing here , there may be an app on play store that could help sync the time ? Maybe try manually setting the time again but when you do untick the auto update and reboot the box if proper time is still there after reboot then tick the auto update ,was it always like this ? If it's only recently then did you install a new app that could cause this ?

 

It was not like this when i got it a couple of months ago.
I installed some add-ons and also Mobdro from the Playstore - that's all.

 

Should try uninstalling the more recent apps ? Can always install them again

 

Melody I ran into this issue a few months back , for the last few days trying to remember how I sorted it , I think when I checked the time zone , I set it to London, dublin and it sorted it out , can you tell me what time zone yours is set to ?

 

@paulie

London, Dublin ??

Mine is set to Brussels Central European Time

 

Mine is set to London Dublin too it says gmt+1

 

I set it to london Dublin although that's not my time zone but it made no difference.

 

Melody change your timezone to London /Dublin it might solve your time issue ?
Cheers.......

 

Also untick your automatic and set your time and date then tick auto again see if that helps , as I say I did have that problem awhile back and tinkered around whit the settings and got it right by chance ......

 

@paulie - i tried those too but nothing!

The only thing that works is:

i untick the auto box;
i go to the year and change it from 1970 to 1971;
back to auto box and tick it and voila the date/time reset themselves!

But i can't keep doing this each and every time i switch on the box!!

 

Drastic measures but maybe it's toothpick time ? Or factory settings ( backup kodi first! )

 

Toothpick time ??

 

I mean reflash the box ! If you stick a toothpick in the av port , plenty of guides out there

 

???????? Encrypted messages are not understood by beginners like me.
Why don't you send me a PM if you can't speak in the open?

Thanks just the same - i appreciate.

 

Does this refer to me ? Don't mean to be talking in "code" just search reflash m8s android box in you tube
