Hi everyone, I discover something weird about my xbox360. The clock of my xbox always return back to 8pm on the year 2005. After I configure the clock it will be alright, but when I turn off the console and turn it back on later again the clock will return back to 8pm 2005 no matter how many times I tried.

I had logged into my gamertag, I actually discover the time run away when I press on the guide button while I was half way playing a game, so confirm logged into my gametag.

I my gamertag was set to singapore and I even change my windows live ID location to singapore, so it shouldn't be a country problem.

I hope someone here can provide me with some help. Thanks in advance.

Is your 360 connected to Live?

The 360 requires internet connection to set the time right. Are you connected online?

Yes, my xbox is connected to live.

maybe it is irritating to see the wrong time. but as long as your x360 don't have any 3rod is consider good already. hehehe

Yeah it is better than the 3rod, but there must be a reason behind why the time is running away, perhaps an early symptom of 3rod?

If you turned off the mains power, then the time will be reverted, no real backup battery in the 360 like the original xbox.

So.. what happens now is that, when you login to Live the time will be synced to one of those atomic clock servers based on the region you've set for the console.

I'll double check the actual option when I get back.

IINM, even Xbox 1 don't keep track of the time & date if you turn off the mains supply.

don't u ever wish. hehehe. i guaranty that you will hate the feeling reading this x360 forum with a bricked x360 at home.

for xbox1 if u switch off main supply more than 4 hrs time will set back to default...same goes with 360...
so normally what u can do is switch off ur 360 but dont switch off ur main supply...the problem is if u using stepdown..lol bye..bye money...

just to make thing clear. after connected to LIVE, the time still didn't change to current?

There... found the setting I set previously, basically goto your systems blade->console->clock then you can set your time zone, so set that to +8 and ur time will be synched everytime u logon.

even without the stepdown, bye bye money also. my first month n second month electricity bill got rm100 difference, mainly coz i switched off my mains powah.

this is due to that xbox 360 don't have any "Cmos Setting" or "CMOS Battery" which help to save the time.

therefore they only set the time via online only.

so do like i do...dont care bout time lol...i put big clock next to my 360 lol basically 360 time clock is like electric clock..need to turn on always (main power supply of course)...
