Hi everyone !
This morning, the battery ran out. So I put in charge my Bangle.js...
And, since then, no way to have the correct hour ! It "read" from GPS but it shows 0:00 Jan 1 1970...
I set the hour/date, reboot the Bangle.js and go back to 0:00 Jan 1 1970.
I get out and try to get the hour from the GPS in sky, and nothing. Still 0:00 Jan 1 1970.
I think that the GPS is not running and don't know how to do this.
Please, help.

It can take a bit longer (minutes?) to get first fix after cold boot even outside. I'd suggest to go outside run gps app and be patient.

Hi Fanoush
THANK YOU, I uploaded the GPS Info app that (I suppose) switched on the GPS and gave the hour/date to the Bangle.js. And it works even after a reboot and a switch off/switch on.

You can also use the Set Bangle.js Time button on the About page of the Bangle.js App Loader page

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
