cliffy Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 Just saw a news report on iPhones (old ones) having to have a software update due to a clock reset in space. Wondering if anyone knows about this or how it might affect older GPS nav units in planes
carusoam Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Y2k... and some other day that was GPS clock related... back in April 6, 2019... https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/06/gps-rollover-is-today-heres-why-devices-might-get-wacky/ Are you sure this is a new and current issue... or something recycling in the news? Samsung explanation... https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01200843/ Best regards, -a-
RLCarter Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Seem to remember this was a 10 year event
cliffy Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Posted October 30, 2019 It was just a quick news blurb I saw so I don't know anything more than that
WilliamR Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 There was one earlier this year and now one in Nov. My personal phone is an iPhone 5 (little embarrassed to write that publicly) and received a message to be sure to upgrade my iOS otherwise the phone will brick.
carusoam Posted October 31, 2019 Report Posted October 31, 2019 Have no fear... If you can keep an old i device working... it takes a special skill... (patience) Best regards, -a-
Gagarin Posted November 5, 2019 Report Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Will this affect my old trusty pocket watch or my sun dial? Edited November 5, 2019 by Gagarin
