Re: Discussion on CM9 for Allwinner A8 Scroll Extreme

Not sure... Although you are quite correct I have stock ROMS on the mobiles, I had taken the build back to Sugsey's first 4.0.4 built, and the time still drifted at the same rate.

So not sure it is an Android bug, as others arent seeing it. Still think it could be a h/w error. Pity I cant get my Stock ROM back could return to SO, I believe they replace with the Elite now... Never mind.

That's very interesting. I am on Suggsy's 4.0.4 ICS for the 'Excel' and I don't have any timekeeping issues.
As a complete shot in the dark I wonder if anyone is able to compare the Extreme CPU speed on a stock rom with yours to see if there is any difference. I recall reading somewhere that some apps are badly written regarding timekeeping in that they interpret time; based upon a devices known default CPU speed - i.e. - changes in CPU speed = changes in timekeeping. I'm Probably wide of the mark; but this could account for why some report time gain and others report time loss ?

Could have a point.. Anyone know what the default clock speed should be.

Hello John and Kevin.

I have just restored the stock firmware on my Extreme tablet. I still know little about these tablets but if you can tell me where/how to find out the information you want I will take a look while still on stock.

Cheers.

I'm not sure about the Extreme as I don't have one to compare but hopefully you might find this information in sytem/about tablet.

Just an update for those interested. Been using ClockSync now for quite a while, and it keeps my clock at the correct time A good app, mind you an app that really should not be needed.
