A new version of firmware 2.1.22 is now available for the’Iridium GO!®. This release includes an update to fix an incorrect time and date issue for the device Iridium GO!® up to the application GO!®. This problem does not affect the functionality of the device/application. The calls, data, SMS, SOS and tracking are still working normally. Only cases where a message (Quick GPS, tracking, SOS) contains a date / time, this one will be incorrect. The order of messages in the Iridium GO application!® may not be observed, as well as missed voice calls. Upgrading the device to the new firmware version 2.1.22 will solve this problem.
It is recommended that all affected users upgrade to the new firmware version as soon as possible in order to resolve the issue on the Iridium GO!® device and Iridium GO!® app corresponding. Some users who left their Iridium GO! ® device on, charging and who have not cycled their device may not immediately notice an offset in the time and date. However, after powering on the device, they will encounter the problem of displaying wrong time and date. It is therefore recommended to all users, whether they are currently facing this problem or not yet, update their device as soon as possible.
