Just opened StreetPass Mii Plaza after powering on my 3DS from a dead battery, and all of my StreetPass tags are from “1 minute ago.” Has this ever happened to anyone else before? Kinda odd.

Furthermore, it seems my original 3DS battery is beginning to bulge, so time for a replacement.

Not sure if that’s the same thing but I’ve heard of StreetPass getting messed up if your battery is dead for a while.

That’s my best guess too. Replacement battery is on the way at least.

Problem solved by replacing the battery. All of the tag timestamps are back to normal now

I thought it was odd too. Looking back on it, my theory is that the loose connection with the old battery caused the system clock to go wacky, and that might have been what was actually messing with StreetPass. When I replaced the battery, I also had to reset the (then inaccurate) system clock, and with a stable power source, the problem went away soon after.

I remember when someone accidentally hit my 2DS too hard it black out! When I turned it back on the clock must’ve factory reset back to 2011. I fixed it but the DS internal clocked might’ve gotten bungled in the process because it is currently 2047.
