Freerunner looses the date when battery is away for short time
Hello, When I remove the battery from my FR, for example to change the SIM, it looses now(?) the date in hwclock and starts with 01.01.2000; I have to set the date and time again with root@om-gta02 ~ # ntpdate -b ntps1-0.cs.tu-berlin.de 9 Apr 08:47:01 ntpdate[842]: step time server 130.149.17.21 offset 387268904.770664 sec root@om-gta02 ~ # hwclock --systohc root@om-gta02 ~ # date Mon Apr 9 08:47:16 CEST 2012 I don't remember if this was so from the beginning, though; isn't the power for the hwclock backed-up for some time even without battery? This is with SHR if it does matter, but I don't think so.

My FR also looses time when the battery is removed for a short time. Idea: Buffer it with USB-Power? -- Frank ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

My FR also looses time when the battery is removed for a short time. AFAIR there is a backup (button cell) battery on the FR mainboard. PS .. My FR keeps date, time and all the settings after replacing SIM or SD card...
