Since yesterday the Wahoo ELEMNT intermittently loses GPS signal while reporting a wrong date and time (1/1/2006 instead of 17/08/2025 and a one-hour time difference). The unit intermittently picks up GPS signal then drops it after less than 30s. I’ve understood I may be one of many facing this issu…

no firmware updates yet as far as my device is saying … hopefully it wont be too long as looks like it may be a persistent issue and not specific to 17th August.

Same. I switched it on and off several times and did the factory reset but still no joy. Very frustrating.

My device has just updated. Was that the fix?

I completed a factory reset, whilst the issue isn’t as bad I am still losing GPS signal

[image] Jim_Dennison: there’s no news of any new update (since May) on ELEMNT BOLT v1 (2017) Firmware Release Notes – Wahoo Fitness Support And I forced an update check on my Roam just now and it is still on v WR20-17055 (May Release)

Glad you’re now on top of this. Any update as to when we might expect a fix?
