Date/Time is at default value (year 1970) on every boot

Hi all,
when phone is rebooted it takes the default value from RTC , but RTC writes operations are disabled.

What i find is a rtc write protect on device tree.

In the file :
arch/arm/boot/dts/msm-pm8941.dtsi

the key ->

qcom,qpnp-rtc-write = <0>

is set to zero.

Regards

This has been confirmed on the FP2 and Nexus 5.

The fix should already be in the repo already. Not sure if devel_rc-proposed has them already.

[NeoTheThird]

Fixed :)

i have an nexus 5 (d821) running ubuntu touch 15.04 which still exhibits this issue.

Yes this is unfortunately true, even on rc. I moved it to OTA-3 since this will not make it into OTA-2 anymore :(

Also an issue on the opo

@rubencarneiro can we fix this with your workaround on all 3 devices?

[rubencarneiro]

On Hammerhead is fixed Now

ubports/android_device_lge_hammerhead@8518fe8

[Flohack74]

on OPO still exists in r195, but maybe the fix was not picked up by CI?

[rubencarneiro]

Can you se if the folder /data/time exist on system files?

We should try using the fixrtc that exist in the initrd instead of on the android side https://github.com/ubports/ubports-boot/blob/master/initramfs/scripts/local-premount/fixrtc

[mariogrip]

Fix released, created https://github.com/ubports/timekeeper that runs on ubuntu side instead of android side, this should be more reliable

[NeoTheThird]

Not fixed on Nexus 5, Oneplus One and Fairphone 2.

Small typo: ubports/timekeeper@ab57b19

[Flohack74]

Fixed on N5 for me :)

[NeoTheThird]

I can confirm that.
