What do I need to do to keep my settings where I have them ? After I power down the only thing that stays is time and date and it took me awhile and firmware updates for that to happen.

Did you default your settings after you updated? Also, what firmware were you updating from?
 
Yes, went to default settings after updating to ver 2.0 and now date and time stay. What I would like to happen is all settings stay....I like 10 min loop, gps on, mph and highest resolution. When I power down or unplug loop goes back to 3 mins .

So you updated from Version 1.1? If you updated to V2.0, you needed to update the loader first. Did you do that? Also, V2.02 is the latest version. See link below for loader info.

I completely re formatted sd card and loaded the new loader and ver 2.0 , thats what got me to where I am now. I'm also getting ready to get another a119 together for a fellow driver at work with a new camera recieved yesterday along with a fresh sd card. New camera is ver 2.01 I should be able to update to 2.02 without having to do the loader...correct ?
 
By the way, thank you for your response and patience.

If camera has V2.0 or later, it should already have the new loader on it (assuming it's bought new). I would reload the loader, then update to V2.02. When settings don't save after updating to V2.0 or later, it's usually because the user didn't update the loader or it didn't update correctly.
 
just updated to ver 2.2 on new card and reset to factory and redid everything else and date/time automatically go back to 2/1/2017 and 00:00 hours

time and date does go back to whatever default is set when loading new firmware
 
Other camera with 2.0 doesn't go back. I think I'm going to try redoing the loader and firmware on this new one. Well, at least time and date don't go back all other setting do.

Did you reload the new loader before updating to V2.02? If not, I wouldn't expect the issue to go away.
 
Hell with it, not messing any more today, got 1 camera that keeps time and date with ver 2.02. The other camera , same set up and won't keep time or date. Both are a119's bought from the same place only difference is 1 has 32g sd card and the other had 64g sd card. Maybe it's the card , my computer doesn't recognize that there is a card in the g drive using win 10 but it shows up on my son's computer which also uses win 10.....all very frustrating.
New card is Samsung EVO 64gig. Might stop and buy another 32 gig card tomorrow whle I'm out and try that.
