K3 froze, rebooted, now date messed up...

twowheels · 01-21-2011, 03:18 PM

Not sure what happened... I was reading and suddenly I couldn't turn pages... completely froze (in lighted cover, light off).

Turned it off (held power until blank), then it wouldn't come back on. Five or six tries to reboot would only cause a screen flash after holding the power button for a while, then it finally went to the tree & progress bar screen and finally came back on. After that my collections were showing up in the wrong order (most recent was showing up last), which I finally realized was due to the clock setting being lost. I reset the time, but can't find a place to reset the date. Do I need to wait until I have access to wi-fi to update it via ntp?

Anybody else ever seen this happen?

Yeah. That happens to other people as well.

There isn't any place to set the date from the Kindle itself assuming you've not jailbroken it and gotten a shell. The only option in the menu is time. As you've already worked out, the only way to set it is via the network so either WiFi or 3G. Syncing should fix it.

Darn... oh well... I guess I'll have to wait until I get home for things to start sorting correctly.

Thanks!
