Smartphone GPS wrong date?

- in Mate series

I use my Huawei Mate 10 lite, among other things, to record my sports activities using Strava. About ten days ago, the date was reset to 1999.

There was probably a so-called roll over in April. https://winfuture.de/...06994.html

Are there ways to correct the date? For information, it has nothing to do with Android, my phone has the right settings, only GPS is affected

Actually, GPS has nothing to do with the date…

Can you explain the problem in more detail?

To

Well, see this article: https://www.netzwelt.de/...massnahmen

Strava uses the data my GPS module records, distance, speed, but also the date of the GPS module. GPS had its "year 2000 problem" this year in April, with the consequence described. When I ride a bike, it is always dated to the year 1999 for almost two weeks.

Just go into the settings and reset the date…

To

Should… But are they?

To

In which settings? Android? Since the date is right

Ki

Yes… Just put it again… That seems miraculous… Otherwise reinstall the app

To

Date in the settings is correct…

Ki

Just set it again… As already mentioned

To

Change nothing on the GPS date, thanks

Ki

Unfortunately, I still can't fully understand the problem because GPS has nothing to do with the date. The system failure is related to the inability of the system to "count" time. The GPS only serves to locate…

Then let it be good if you have no idea. I have repeatedly described that Strava sets the date incorrectly due to the miscalculation by the GPS module.

A kind of Year 2000 problem is coming to https://www.gps.gov/cgsic/meetings/2017/powers.pdf. On April 6, 2019, another so-called Week Rollover is expected. Some devices will then be unable to calculate the date correctly. For a few Navis also threatens a total failure of the location, if the GPS device unnecessarily also uses the date for the position measurement for calculation

I already read… But that refers to old Navis. For a smartphone, the problem is not.

it must then be due to the app. Reinstall this time or try in the settings, if something helps…

To

Does not help. GPS date continues wrong

Ki

Which app do you use?

To

Anyone else an idea?

Even the operators of the APP are aware of the problem: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026660091-Activity-Syncing-Issues-and-Incorrect-Start-Times-beginning-on-April-6th-?mobile_site=false

There's a bug in the firmware of your device. That can only correct Huawei by an update.

Strava's article describes how you can correct the year of your recordings in the meantime.
