Game Forum / Xbox / Xbox UK Group / August 2008Help - Unable to change time setting on Xbox 360
Hi, I've recently received my 360 back from repair and all seems well. I've been into the dashboard and reset all my settings again with one exception. When I go in to the 'Console settings' blade section I can change my locale to the UK and set what type of clock, 12 or 24 hour readout etc. However, the time and date field are greyed out and not available to select. Although the date has set itself correctly the time is one hour slow. This isn't a big deal, but I'd like to put it right. Is there a reason why it's not selectable or am I missing something? I'd not noticed this prior to sending it off, and the time was always right. Any ideas? Cheers, ChugMonkey > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Any ideas? Time autosyncs to the Live clock, which is GMT, an hour off our time. I'm not sure if this can be disabled.

I can't say the exact location because my xbox is awaiting collection. >>> Hi, >>> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > there is an option for it somewhere on there. > I can't say the exact location because my xbox is awaiting collection. "When connected to Xbox LIVE, the clock is set automatically and can't be changed." I assume this is because of DLC like movies which can only be kept for a limited time. -- Bob >>>> Hi, >>>> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > changed."

It should keep proper time when you change it back to automatically set. Is Daylight Saving set to On? Think it's the thrid option in Date & Time settings > Is Daylight Saving set to On?

Try setting it to "Off", turn the XBox off and back on and then set is back to "On" and turn the XBox off and On again Also, if you have a PC, is the time correct? I had this problem and the 1 hour time difference prevented me from being able to enter a tournament that I'd qualified for. I tried a combination of disconnecting the hard drive and not signing in to my profile or xbox live and making sure the console was not physically connected to the internet. Then I re-attached the hard drive & signed into my profile (still disconnected from the internet) to make sure the time was still alright, then re-connected the network cable. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Cheers, > ChugMonkey > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Cheers, > ChugMonkey Thanks for all the suggestions. I found that if I changed my profile to NOT auto sign-in, then rebooted, this then allows you to reset the clock to the correct time. You then just need to switch it back to auto sign-in to Xbox Live. After rebooting again the time remained the same as I'd set it manually. Hope this helps the others that had the same difficulties. Cheers, ChugMonkey |
