The built-in clock would be constantly powered, just like your PCs clock is. Obviously if you drain your battery all the way the Kindle could forget what time it was, but there's no need to do so on a Restart.
In any case, that's not what's happening here, either. The Kindle still knows what time it is, as can be verified by accessing the Menu. It's just that when it can't access Whispernet after a while, it stops timestamping files when you access them. According to Windows they aren't timestamped back to 1970; they aren't timestamped at all, but that could be just a Windows display issue. |

I believe you've hit on the real problem - it resets itself far too often. I've had this happen numerous times while reading a blog online and it's frustrating. It does have the effect of limiting one's web time - I wonder if that's the intent.

It's year 2014 and this problem still comes up if you don't have the device connected to the Internet.
Anyway, for me, the problem went away without connecting to the server at all. (I keep wireless off.) The only thing unusual I did was to have it charged till full (light turns green). I can't recall if I turned it off first though. Last edited by Kumara; 12-09-2014 at 05:38 AM. Reason: Add some info |
