[System] Loading boot0 on mundane operations

[voloved]

Affected hardware version

Bangle 2

Your firmware version

2v27

The bug

often, when I leave the clock, a game, settings screen, etc, it displays Loading boot0.
I would not expect that on switching screens.
Sometimes that causes my dark theme to turn light. Sometimes the default clock face changes. Silly chaos just ensues.

I connected to the Web IDE to see if anything would read out when getting this flaw. When i switched out of my clock to the apps drawer and it showed the boot0 message, nothing changed in the IDE display.

Installed apps

No response

To debug further, can you show the output of rinning this in the IDE?

require("Storage").list(/boot/)

Do you use Icon Launcher by any chance? Could you see if the same issue still occurs if you switch to a different launcher

@JamoDevNich , Thanks for the advice! I'm running Icon launcher. I just switched it to Launcher, and the following happened:

1. I set it to Launcher from Icon Launcher.
2. I pressed the button to get to the watch face.
3. I pressed the button to get back to the launcher.
4. The launcher froze up for a second, then showed the menu items.
5. I pressed the button to go back the watch. Watch displayed, but it first showed Reloading boot0
6. I pressed the button to go the launcher, and it once again shows the icon launcher.

I am using a fork off BangleApp. But the issues appeared after almost 3 months without any changes to the watch's software.
I updated the fork, in case any bugs were found, and updated the bootloader, but no luck.
Is anything on the hardware-level known to deteriorate?
