Likebook Mars clock on the top bar is not updating
Hi, I have a new Likebook Mars. Installed all the updates (incl. the latest from mid-March).
I've noticed that the time shown in the top system bar is not correct. When I check the time settings in the device settings - it is correct.

Is this a bug? Do you know how to make the clock display the correct time?

It's up to eInk. Changes are only shown if the screen content changes (e.g. a new page). Constantly updating the screen would drastically increase power consumption.
If you want to know the exact time, a screen refresh is sufficient.

What is considered a screen refresh? Flipping pages does not affect the clock.

What about the circle in the top line?

I've had this same issue on my Likebook Mimas. Is yours on firmware 1.x? If so, just restart and it should go back to normal. It's just the status bar clock that freezes.

Edit: I think I have some photos of when it would happen, available on request as I have to go through my photos and the memory card (I sent my device out for repair back in December and it hasn't came back to me as of this reply)

My device is on the latest firmware (2.xx) - So I guess that's a bug that wasn't solved
