Losing date and time: Has anyone else had that problem?
1375425
I have been experiencing the EXACT same problem with my Canon A590IS since Nov. 2008. I replaced the lithium, button cell (not cheap or easy to find) and still have an occasional loss of date and time. My guess is the pull out battery carrier the button cell sits in is poorly designed allowing the cell to momentarily lose contact and thus require a reset. There have been at least a couple of complaints about this problem in the 590 reviews.

If you don't have that folder or it is deleted when you have to reformat, try going here: http://tinyurl.com/setudisktime - I had to use it and it worked quickly and easily to give the correct time and date of the recording.

Yes my daughter gets very frustrated she had to deal with the time and date every time and can't get right to playtime. I've looked at the settings and can't figure out why it started doing this.

I have not been able to change the time from the 24 hour clock to the 12 hour am/pm clock. Maybe someone else can?

I bought mine in August 2011 and my clock would hold the correct time for a few days, maybe a week, but then it would be off anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 24 hours. I called Toshiba customer support, he led me through the "fix" and now it works perfect. The solution was very simple - I needed to turn off the "auto" setting. Other than the clock issue, mine has been excellent and does everything it's supposed to do. I would also recommend it - it's much easier to use than my Panasonic which does basically the same things this one does.

Thank you so much for the information about setting the date and time. I, up to this point, had not been able to find an answer to that question. Very much appreciated.

Tex - Enter the Menu when the phone is idle and reset the date and time. One thing is for certain - the YEAR is not set correctly, which is why you are hearing the wrong day.

I don't remember because we returned it immediately since it couldn't keep the correct time.

Thank your for your question. Date, Time, & consecutive numbers change automatically.

not yet either: two dates passed already without another word as to the next!

Hi, Miachael,I have had the power go out before and did not have to change the time or date; the only time that I have changed it is for Daylight Savings.

Thanks to the posters with the tip on resetting the date. I never would have figured this out. Thank you, thank you!

My Gateway did the same thing. I just adjust the time zone to the right time in the settings.

That is an easy fix. It happened to me when I first got the phone. You need to change the date and time setting on the menu to manual instead of by caller id. I'm pretty sure that will resolve your issue.

I believe there's a reset button you can hit using a paperclip. I don't have mine in front of me, but it's on one of the side ports. I may have experienced this once, or it wouldn't turn off or on. Either way, the reset button fixed it and you just have to set the date/time, etc..
