Hi all,
I'm experiencing a strange issue...
It seems that when I connect to my GPS bt antenna using TomTom the hour and date goes back to the 1989... could it the GPS system syncing be the culprit?
Does anyone experienced similar issues?

I've had this issue for a while now, but I'm wondering if it's just me or if this is something common.
Every once in a while, my Player (5.0 US) will show the GPS trying to acquire a signal icon, but it won't go to lock. I've been in places where I have good GPS signal normally, and it will stay that way for hours.
To add at my confusion, it sometimes comes up even if the GPS is turned off. In these cases, I've turned on a GPS reporting tool, and it can see that I've got a good connection with several satellites. I turn the GPS officially on, and it gets the lock (thanks to the program). Close the program and the GPS goes dormant again.
The only thing I can remotely think of is Google location services trying to pin point where my wifi is, but that doesn't explain why it can't get a lock.
Anyone else seen this or know what it is?
Hi there,
I have exactly the same problem as you. GPS is turned off but its symbol is flashing in the notification bar. I noticed this problem tomorrow morning wondering why my battery is low although I charged it yesterday afternoon.
Are you using gingerbread?
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, stock setup right now
Ok, now I am having a couple of issues that are starting to bug me.
I connect my Z2 to a Mercedes Benz system (2014). The Bluetooth Connected blue icon keeps popping on and off. That doesn't really bother me, except that (a) Bluetooth crashes if I am connected over a certain amount of time and (b) I get at least one dropout where it will lose the connection to the system and then come back after about 10 seconds. Unnerving when you're on the phone.
Secondly, my WiFi has been intermittent at work today for no good reason. I'm right under the AP but it is having a problem connecting.
Anyone else experiencing these things?
Bought new Amazfit Bip recently to replace Pebble. Great watch with amazing battery life, but the Bluetooth connection to my phone (Nexus 6P) drops randomly dozens of times a day even when within close range (less than 2m with direct line of sight). Anybody had similar problems with this watch? If so then it's a real design issue. No similar issues with Pebble - always good up to 5m+.
Try to install amazfit watch app on your phone again. It's an error of this app, sometimes, it'll make your watch battery drain quickly.
Make sure you allowed the app that runs on phone to stay running in the background, give it permission to access notifications and remove it from battery saving configurations. If you still have problem, some people related issues with WiFi/Bluetooth signal conflict, you may want to test with WiFi off, or better yet airplane mode and only BT on. If it still doesn't work, test with another Bip, yours may have a hardware issue (my first pace had no GPS signal, and both WiFi and BT were very weak, constant connection drops when using a BT headset, for instance).
Since 5 days I got this problem: my wifi antenna seems to be broken, safely no software problem because it was on all ROMs with a complete clean install.
First, the wifi was only working after reboot and then stucked again (couldnt turn OFF wifi or connection), then 1 day later wifi wasnt working at all and I couldnt turn on/off wifi. (when you want to turn on/off then UI crashes on RR Oreo)
+ I got some strange bluetooth and SIM-detection problems (no bluetooth/mobile connection) but just sometimes?
So i replaced the Wifi-Antenna which is very easy (only battery removal). I replaced it with an new OEM antenna that worked for about 6 hours
+Bluetooth and mobile connection were fine again, Z2 runs very smooth, no wifi/bluetooth problems.
And then about 6h later my wifi has again these first problems (short connection after reboot then dead).
Bluetooth problems are with there already
Does anyone have an idea what caused this problem again?
I hope someone knows a solution otherwise I'm about to quit the great Z2 community
Cheers
Anyone know if the Pace is affected from this ?

What I can say is that I'm facing "old gps data" error when start the activity. The watch is updated, connected to Wi-Fi and syncing correctly. Is there any app that could only download and replace the a-data file for gps fixing?
GPS fixes itself after 3-5 minutes when the activity has already started.
Garmin fixed the problem in a few days.
Luckely this didn't happen to the amazfit watches, it would take a few months before they fixed the isseu.
