I'm looking for an android tv box, that can maintain the date and time even after rebooting and not being connected to the internet

by dagher_al

I developed an android app to show the time for certain events so people there know what's coming and when. I bought one box, but it can't keep the correct time without being connected to the internet, and today, I tried multiple boxes at a local store and all of them failed to keep the time.

Also, I'm going to add a timer switch to allow the TV and the box to take a rest for 2 hours during the day, so it is a must when they turn on again, the time is correct.

I hope someone can help.

You need box with RTC support and i don't think there is certified Android TV device with RTC support.

For normal android box, check out UGOOS X series, it has RTC and looks easy to replace but it's expensive.

Run an NTP server internally and redirect all NTP queries to that (all traffic to destination port UDP123). Many routers can do both of those things natively. If not then get a pi zero.

I may not understand, but who will use an android box and an app without internet?

I don't think that this is the correct sub to ask this.
