Wahoo update bug - devices showing 2 Jan 2006

[Mike_P]

Can happen especially on sunny days
Best to switch on the Wahoo well before setting off
Its one thing where Garmins seem better although that is quickly offset by their failings IMO
My 530 yesterday kept on going to a blank screen but still on when I tried to switch it off.

Done mine. Took several goes and an extra complication was it lost the Wi-Fi. I rebooted the router and installed from the Bolt. Looks ok now. I also got a message about turning the Bluetooth off and on again.

​ Dear Pete, We continue to apply all resources to resolve the GPS time issue for all first generation ELEMNT computers. We have now released the fix for BOLT 1 and ROAM 1 computers via firmware update that should resolve the issue going forward* for those models. A firmware update for original ELEMNT computers is currently in development. The updated firmware versions for ROAM 1 and BOLT 1 are as follows: ROAM 1 – WR24 - 17055 BOLT 1 – WB17 - 17055 To receive the fix for future rides*, please ensure that your computer is connected to a viable Wi-Fi network and complete a standard firmware update. For more detail on these processes and basic troubleshooting, please review the articles below Connect an ELEMNT computer to Wi-Fi Update firmware on an ELEMNT, BOLT 1, or ROAM 1 Charge an ELEMNT GPS computer * The firmware update will not change or recover any rides completed between August 17 and when it is updated. For information on recovering or changing ride dates, see Retrieve / change ride files from ELEMNT, BOLT 1, or ROAM 1 from August 2025 Sincerely, The Wahoo Team​

My Roam 1 was fine on todays 23 mile blast…..I am trying to up my average speed and am thinking I now need a Legware update😂😂

My Element Bolt V1 was works just fine again. But the auto pause still seems to be unreliable or not working at all. Prior to the gps week rollover problems it was working fine. Anyone else has this?

My Bolt also worked fine, didn't notice the auto pause though, I wouldn't normally notice this but I will try to keep an eye on it later.

I've not tried post update but previously the autopause was a bit intermittent in that sometimes I'd stop and it would almost immediately autopause. Other times it wouldn't. This was fairly commonplace on my rides.
Anyway, I plan on a spin later so I'll check.

Just back from a quick spin, Bolt all good and segments etc showing correctly. Also autopause working fine.

So, it seems firmware update was a success.

Sounds like they handled it pretty well, so kudos to Wahoo for that.

I mean, they get no kudos for being taken by surprise by the problem. They should have pre-empted it. But stuff happens, and apart from that I think they seem to have done well.

Autopause working fine for me.

Went out today with my son, who runs the v1. All good, auto-pause fine, ride recorded and uploaded to Strava as normal.
