Most recently its the manually-entered GPS coords which are being zeroed. However it has been other fields, at other times.

  • long and short name getting reset (but everything else intact)
  • GPS coords getting reset to 0.0 (but everything else intact)
  • most/all config state lost at least once, requiring a re-pairing
  • a bunch of cases where something I had configured got un-configured somehow while reconfiguring some other field (device resets on every setting change!)

I noticed this on the bugtracker:

[Bug]: Firmware reset after battery dies

It is specific to loss of power and doesn’t reference GPS coords but the long/short name reset is mentioned.

I am now wondering if some of this is down to the config interface in the app and client, not correctly recovering the existing config after a reset/reconnect - which is then partly modified (by me, in the app) and re-sent back to the device, along with garbage retrieved from other config modules. This would explain the magic un-configuring of random fields but harder to explain the loss of GPS coords on the RAK, which I have not been messing with.
