Time seems to be off...

Hi I am having trouble with keeping the time/clock on my m6 accurate, I set it to the right time but sooner or later it'll be slow by ~10 minutes. Anyone know what the problem is or if there is a fix?

Thanks

this is a known bug, no fix yet.

Has anyone tried to set time like to whatever it's gonna be 10 minutes later?? Perhaps it's gonna go back to the current time :D.

I've tried that many times, keeps going forward all the time

i noticed that the clock just stops when the library is updating, this changes the time a couple minutes at a time, and if you check after a couple of library updates the clock is off easely by 10 minutes, really nasty bug!!

I love Meizu - we have so much to talk about because of their crappy firmware :D.

Does anyone still remember when Meizu introduced MTP and the "library update"? Was 1.008 the last firmware version without it?

according to theory of relativity, when travelling in space at speed similar to speed of light (300 000 km/s) time and biological processes slow down it is the same with meizu :D:Dfuture technologies:D

Meizu has implemented their own 3.6v powered flux capacitor as a time-saving feature - when the library finishes updating, we're sent back to the time the player started to update, and therefore we don't waste time waiting for the library to update. Simple.
The Emmett Brown's 1985 model wasn't used because of the size and power consumption.
Thing is that there's no documentation for this device, so time travel may not work correctly with Rockbox .

looks like meizu forgot that we live on earth i expect back to the future feature on M8, can't wait :D

LOL, loved the back to the future references..

IMO the clock problem is probably due to it being implemented by software, rather than by a real time hardware clock. So when the CPU is busy (e.g. updating the music library) the clock stops. Maybe including specific clock hardware was a cost that Meizu didn't consider very important on a music device...

That said, it should be possible for Meizu to improve the current clock and reduce the current problems significantly.. but I don't think it can ever behave as a real hardware clock, and we just have to live with it.

PS: if there is in fact an hardware clock in the M6, and I'm talking nonsense, please say so

the processor used in the m6 has a realtime clock integrated, but meizu does not use it, they seem to prefer to use another way to get to count the time(software).
This is a real pitty, if it was not for these stupid small bugs like this i would advice meizu to everyone!
