Anyone have any issues with streetpass? After Nintendo replaced my 3ds with a new one due to screen issues, I haven't been able to get streetpasses. My son has a 3ds, and we used to be able to streetpass each other twice a day. We haven been able to at all now. All settings are correct.
1 wireless is turned on
2 it is set to accept streetpasses
3 I have a mii ready to be exchanged.
No luck at all. I hope someone can help, because it is going to be rather annoying to have to send my 3ds into Nintendo for another two weeks!!!

Well, seeing as there are know obvious defects without taking it apart, it seems that's your only option.

Has one of you been changing the date on the 3DS? I've heard if you time travel it can affect your streetpass's with the same person for a week.

No, no time traveling. In got off the phone with Nintendo. The rep said that her supervisor had the same problem (sent it in, had it replaced, and then the streetpass stopped working) He just waited and it started working about a week later. Also, the rep said that when the Nov update comes out, updating the system will more than likely fix the problem. Other than that, my options are sending it in and waiting another two weeks, or reformatting the system and losing all of my saved mii and streetpass data... I think I'll just wait until the update and see what happens.

You've not been 'time travelling', but maybe because the system was fixed, they had to reset the date, and that make it think that it 'time traveled' ? That would explain the Nintendo Rep's problem with it suddenly working again a week later.

That's some good detective work! That may just be it. I'll let you all know. Thanks lyn81 and Victoria.

Yep, one week from when I got the 3ds back, the streetpass began working again. It must have been some sort of internal timing issue. So word to all who send their 3DS in for repair, if your streetpass doesn't work when you get it back, be patient. DO NOT REFORMAT! Thanks everyone!
