Hi there,
lately I started using iode 3-20221014 on a Galaxy S10e (SM-G970F) and today recognized, when recording a track for example with oruxmaps, the GPS reports a wrong date. All gps-points show a date exactly 1024 weeks in the past. On the web I found reports about the socalled “GPS week rollover problem”, that seems to fit here: theverge.com, heise.de (german), gitlab.com/LineageOS.
Does anybody know a solution for this problem?
Can anybody at least confirm this problem on a Galaxy S10e?
The device is not in the list of affected devices and was released only one mounth before the last GPS week number rollover in April 2019.
It can be easily checked for example with the app GPSTest on f-droid.
Thank you for checking on that! If you have the app installed and start it, it shows the status screen with the time on top on the right side. If it is red, it is not correct. If you klick on the red time, it shows more information.
Although we do not always answer reactively, we always keep an eye on the forums to catch critical events. We should test that GPS problem today, although I’m not sure that we’ll be able to replicate: if it was a widespread problem, we would already have heard about it. However, an outdated firmware might explain: so please keep us informed after your update.
