Cadence for each run this week appears flat. Anyone else seeing this?

Cadence for each run this week appears flat at 164 spm after upload. Something is wrong with either my Forerunner 25 or Garmin Connect. Anyone else seeing this?

The software is OK. Most likely a problem with your watch. Either hardware (accelerometer), or a full/corrupted storage. If the accelerometer is malfunctioning, you would likely not see any step counts either, so if it is that case, you'll need a replacement. For the storage - try clearing up the folder //GARMIN/Activity and see whether it helps.

Thanks trux. I hadn't noticed but the steps for each day that uploaded today was 0. I don't normally pay attention to the step count and normally charge the GPS and upload the week's runs on Sunday. I find it curious that the step values stopped and the cadence 'stuck' on the same value after the previous week's upload.The GPS is again showing a step count so it seems like something got toggled off during last week's upload and toggled back on today. I recall the steps staying at 0 at times last year also and then it started working again, as mysteriously as it stopped. Seems like a firmware bug or perhaps something (accelerometer?) faulty in the GPS.

Accelerometer is a different piece of hardware than the GPS. There is no direct relation between those two. As the most likely reason is either a faulty accelerometer or the full storage (as I alredy wrote), especially if you cleared up the folder in the mean time. Firmware bug is a possibility too, though, I would tell there would be many more complaints like yours, here on the forum, in such case.
