Viewable clock on the PRS900?

rblover69 · 07-26-2010, 01:40 PM

Sometimes when i dont have a watch on me or my psp, i wished the PRS900 had a viewable clock that i can check quickly to know the time.. has anyone figured out if there is a way to view a clock. And is have any info if sony is planning on releasing updates for firmware on this unit.

The porkupan (boroda) firmware has the clock in the status bar. As for Sony's updates — given their track record, the safest bet is to not expect any updates.

You might be looking for a clock that stays visible, but for a quick check, just press "home" and "settings." The top line should have the date and time. Then press "home" and "continue reading" to go back to the page you were reading.

Yep, a custome update that adds the clock and EPUB customization support among other things, such as screen shot taking capability

Yep... go to this link and look at thread #6 from grooks

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ght=boroda+900

You'll want to download the borodaverison:
Version 1.05a - 1.04c + Modification Menu Options, corrected userStyle.css, Droid fonts by default for EPUB

You may also want to read threads #9, #10, #11 . (just to level set)
