Heltec Mesh Node T114

Is this bug report about any UI component firmware like InkHUD or Meshtatic UI (MUI)?

  • Meshtastic UI aka MUI colorTFT
  • InkHUD ePaper
  • OLED slide UI on any display

Firmware Version

2.7.2.f6d3782 Alpha

Description

When GPS is enabled, the date is set 2282 days in the past (e.g., instead of the date of writing—July 16, 2025—it shows April 17, 2019). The time of day, however, matches. When I disable GPS, the date syncs back to normal. I did not encounter such an issue on firmware 2.6.11.60ec05eb beta, which I switched back to due to this issue.

Steps to recreate:

  1. Flash HelTec T114 (v2) (with GPS module) with firmware 2.7.2.f6d3782 Alpha.

  2. Enable GPS.

EDIT: Yes, this still happens when it has GPS lock.
