360 losing time and date

why is this happening? i know its not as bad as RROD or something like that but this has been bugging me for a while now. When I change the time and date back, it will stay for a while but goes eventually.

It has no internal battery to keep the clock going when you switch of your console. However, if you are always connected to Xbox Live when you switch it on, it gets the date and time automatically from there.

I think it keeps the time and date as long as you dont plug it out.

Mine is connected to XBL all the time but as of late (since it returned from a holiday in Germany) it appears to be always 1 hour behind!!! Even when I change it back as soon as I do it automatically switches back... Roll on the time change in October!!

If you are 1 hr off then you have the locale time set to CET. Just change it in the settings tab and you'll be good to go. October won't make any difference as the time will change on the server for winter time!

nope, i definitely dont plug it out. like i said, the time and date will stay fine for maybe about a month but will change back to the launch date eventually, so annoying. put out my brothers GTA cause it loaded the wrong save file without him knowing.

Mine keeps the time like clockwork but only if it's plugged in when i plug my tv xbox etc out it loses it's time but when i plug it back in and connect to xbox live it's sorted. Needs to be plug in otherwise shock horror the world will end coz i don't now the time aaahahhhahahaahhhhhhahhahahaa

It's odd that's happening to you, I've had my 360 turned of and for 8 monthes and all was well in that department.

corcaigh07 · 12-08-2008 11:33pm
