Data Field Settings Corrupted - Reading as Null

I've had two users have issues where the settings are being read as null.

Both had the same problem when using Android Connect app, but don't have the problem with Garmin Express to edit the settings.

I've asked them both to raise this with garmin, but I thought I'd add this here to raise this incase this was a known issue, or I'm just missing something.

Steps users followed:

Install Pace Band data field
Data Field Default settings field works - no problems
Update settings with valid options using Android GCM app
Data Field shows 'invalid' as values are now being retrieved as null
Update Settings using Garmin Express
DataField works ok again

I've also attached an invalid SET file from one user (Oregon 750, 3.10)

When it comes to settings on Android, make sure you look at point 10 in the "new developer faq #2" in the main forum as there is a known issue with "number" types settings and this shows how to avoid it.

Thanks! I reckon that's exactly the issue. I'm glad there seems to be a fix so I can update them with a working app
