Kindle timezone
Hi, anyone knowns how to set timezone in kindle paperwhite (not jailbroken)

This is my problem:

I set time on kindle to 23:51

in javascript/browser i call Date.now() and i get 1546037486922

This is in GMT: Friday, December 28, 2018 22:51:26.922

So my kindle is somewhat in +1 timezone, from where this settings come from?

When i set time on kindle to 22:57 (one hour less)

Date.now() is 1546037913339

This is GMT: Friday, December 28, 2018 22:58:33.339

This give me +0 timezone


It seems kindle is running in GMT and set the timezone from diff time you set and GMT time.

This is very strange behaviour. Anybody have a explanation?

Go to the "Device Info" panel in the "Settings" section, copy the version number to your post.
(I can't give you a more exact set of directions without knowing the firmware version - which is what you are looking up. )

OK, have you tried setting the date/time/timezone from the search bar command?
(same command sets all three at the same time)

It seems to be as i write. Confirmed by ;411 command.

If i set my local time (offset +1 from GMT) kindle is running in +1 GMT
If i set my local time to GMT it is running in GMT
and so on

So kindle knowns actual time and settings local time change the timezone

5.9 is new enough that it should accept the time zone field.


The search bar command simply makes a single call to the *nix date function without reformatting of input.

Well, that is good news, Lab126 has had those controls "broke" for years.


There is a utility posted that will also correct the hardware clock (which "date" does not).
But that requires a jail break to run it.


The "somewhat working" you are seeing may just be the effect of not correcting the hardware clock.

"somewhat working" i mean, that set diferent GMT time is workaroud to my problem.

Because kindle webbrowser doesn't report local timezone to javascript (that is correct according to ;411 command) and always report getTimezoneOffset() as zero. So if i need to show correct local time i need to set GMT to local time (in my case +1) (without using 3rd library and set the timezone by hand in javascript)

If your computer is running ntpd and you have usb networking, you can ssh to your kindle and get the time from your computer.
Code:
ssh root@192.168.15.244
#################################################
#  N O T I C E  *  N O T I C E  *  N O T I C E  # 
#################################################
Rootfs is mounted read-only. Invoke mntroot rw to
switch back to a writable rootfs.
#################################################
[root@kindle root]# ntpdate 192.168.15.201
29 Dec 15:24:41 ntpdate[16285]: step time server 192.168.15.201 offset 16.067199 sec
