Changing the date on a Clara BW?
I have a Clara BW running old firmware (4.41.23145, 10/29/24). With that firmware, I can go into the "Date and Time" screen and manually change the date.

I have a second Clara BW with current firmware (4.45.23640, 2/19/26). With that version, the date can not be changed.

Does anyone know when this changed in the firmware?

Thanks!

Dan

You can downgrade the firmware any time, so you can try it out yourself.

I believe it's related to whether or not the device is in sideloaded mode or not. I think as soon as it's set to sync with Kobo the time cannot be manually changed

How do you change the time & date on the newer Clara BW firmware?

FWIW, I have my Clara 2E set to sideloaded mode and I cannot change the date/time.

The last time this topic came up, there was some speculation that you might need Wi-Fi to always be off for some period before you gained the ability to set the clock yourself.

I wonder what the particulars are. I've had sideloaded on for year(s), and hadn't turned wifi on until recently when I purchased the Kobo remote page turner.

And again, FWIW, I recently had wifi on overnight and my Kobo clock is off by about ~5 minutes.
