Hello guys, my N900 keeps resetting the regional and time setting every time i took the battery out or swapping battery. it happened everytime now. it wasn't before though. i don't know why this happened!

does anyone have this problem? is there a fix?

I think this is normal, happens to me all the time. The N900 doesn't seem to have an internal battery to keep the time when the main battery is removed.

Bugger all you can do about it, sadly.

it wasn't happened to me 1month ago. and it only just start to happened this last few days. i normally took the battery out and leave it to cool down. but lately it just resetting its regional timing again and again.

i think this is a bug in the OS or rather hardware?. the OS should be smart enough to write a config file or something. but what on earth why Nokia did not know aboit this silly flawful designed?

seriously they could atleast remember to keep a bios battery within the device and store the time and other load time setting. this is a disasterous bug

The N900 resets settings when the SIM is removed (at least for me) but changing the battery keeps the settings.
Could be a sim problem

how do i know it's the sim problem? my sim card works great though. no drop out or anything. it detect the sim just fine too.
the problem is its fine if the battery is taken out less than 5sec otherwise i have to setting up the timezone again.

i put a different sim card in and it still resetting evrerytimes i took the battery out. weird though, it never happened before. i think it's the software bug. i'm going to reflashing it tomorrow.

could someone else test this out? please confirm.
