Both CIQ datafields in the activity crash suddenly

flocsy🤠

I am in a walking activity with 2 CIQ DFs. All of a sudden both display the IQ icon, without anything in ERA or in the device logs.

fr965 FW 28.08. I don't expect this to be fixed ever, as Garmin seems to have abandoned both fr965 and CIQ lately, but maybe other devs will have something important to add.

    Interestingly I somehow managed to get Settings > Activities & Apps > [Activity] Settings > Data Fields into a state where the normal contents of CIQ data fields *are* shown (instead of "IQ..."), both for existing fields and the blinking preview that's shown when you edit an existing field (without actually applying the changes).

    So maybe I will pivot and say I don't care so much anymore....

    No, because it's IQ... which according to Brandon is not published to ERA (or actually there's no error file locally)

    But I've already verified that I see IQ... when I deliberately induce a crash in a data field, and I do see a local crash log. So I wouldn't say that "IQ..." alone proves there was no crash.

    What did you do in order to see them? Does it work for all the datafields you have installed? Maybe this is a FW bug then?

    Not sure but it might have had something to do with first going to a real activity (like Run), exiting the activity (for which the timer was never started), then going to the activity settings from the global settings menu. I think the real activity "session" might stay alive for some time after exiting the real activity. (Maybe something like how CIQ watch faces can access ActivityInfo in some cases?)

    EDIT: to be clear, at this point, the settings for *all* activities (from the global settings menu) appeared to have active CIQ data fields, not just the settings for the Run activity. Ofc I didn't test all of the activity profiles - just a handful - but the ones that I tried had active CIQ fields.

    Some time later (like 30 min), the activity settings data pages (from global settings) are back to the same "IQ..." state.

    But if I now go to the Run activity, exit the activity, and go to Settings > Activities & Apps > Run > Run Settings > Data Screens, the fields are still in the IQ... state.

    So I'm not sure exactly what's happening, and I don't really care too much to investigate it further.

    It's not like knowing (or guessing) how it works makes a difference. I'm as curious as the next person, but there's limits to that curiosity, especially when the payoff is low or nonexistent.
