bangle.js 1 boot hang on gps time

[pjdowner]

Hi All,

I just dug out my bangle.js v1 as I wanted to experiment with something before maybe getting a v2 and it was running an ancient firmware so I updated to 2v27 and the watch hangs at boot with "waiting for GPS time" or along those lines, I tried leaving it in the window for a bit and then went for a walk with it, resetting it once I was outside, but it just stayed on "waiting for GPS time" and no amount of button pressing or combination of holding buttons would exit that screen.

I've just tried 2v15 (thought I'd roughly binary chop the firmware list) and that firmware worked great. Is this a known issue or can I help debug it somehow?

Hi - I think this is just that the JavaScript that's on the device isn't up to date with the new firmware. I've seen this especially on devices that were on a very early firmware and then updated.

All you need to do is to go to the app loader (while it's stuck on 'waiting for GPS time') and make sure you update all the apps that need updating. Best do that when you're running firmware 2v27 though as 2v15 is pretty old now and if you update apps some of them might not work with it
