Screen update issues with Forerunner 735XT

Talkabout
Hi guys,

recently I get feedback from users that my stopwatch app is not working properly on the mentioned device. When it starts the time does not update correctly. What I am doing is to call the

Ui.requestUpdate

every 50ms (lowest time possible). Might this cause issues? In simulator this is not reproducible and also other devices seem to work correctly.

Anybody else facing this issue?

Thanks!

  • Hi,

    I have increased the accuracy again by reducing the refresh time, maybe this is the issue again.

    Can you drop me a mail? I will send you a modified version of the app to see if this is really the issue. If so maybe also Garmin can reproduce it that way.

    Thanks!

  • Hi,

    it seems that setting the refresh time for the screen to 50ms breaks the functionality in Forerunner 735XT. tmk2 tested this with a custom version of the widget where I have set back the refresh time to 100ms.

    Brian, Coleman: is this a known issue or limitation for some watches? What is the best way to handle this? As I do not know which watches are having screen refresh issues when called every 50ms I only see the option of increasing it to 100 ms for all watches. My preferred solution, if possible, would be to apply this limitation only to watches that require it...

    Thanks!

  • Another good point from tmk2: until firmware 8.20 everything works fine, it seems to be an issue with never versions.
  • For tmk2 a restart of the watch did the trick, afterwards the app was working as expected. Unfortunately I still do not know what was the issue... So for anybody else who faces similar problems, try to restart the watch.

    Bye
