EPIX Bug

I wrote an extremely simple data field that displays DISTANCE. It's primary purpose is to write the battery level to the LOGS folder every 5 minutes, to do post-activity analysis.

I tested this on EVERY CIQ device. It works flawlessly on every one. Except the EPIX. On that one it starts up fine, but as soon as I hit START in the simulator, it aborts with Symbol Not Found. But it isn't in my code. Weird error.

Anyway, if anyone on this list monitors and investigates these things, I'd be happy to send you the simple code so you can recreate the bug.

Remember that the EPIX is the only CIQ device still on CIQ 1.2.x, so it could be that. The EPIX is really hard to support unless you have one, as the sim has problems with it and the very old CIQ on it. (other devices are CIQ 1.4.x or greater)

It already crashes when you create a new simple or complex data field (with epix as target), run the field and press the start button.

You could create an entry in the bug report forum with the above reproduction scenario so the connect iq team can have a look.

It sounds like a well known issue and not worth the effort given the age of the device and the obsolete CIQ version with which it is stuck....

It is still a bug. The problem is likely in the SDK, which means we could fix it without rolling new Epix firmware.

It looks like this issue has existed for some time, and it should not affect devices as far as I can tell. I'm surprised that it hasn't been reported previously.

We should be able to make a fix to the vm, but in the meantime you can work around the issue by defining the timer/workout functions in your data field class...

function onTimerLap() {
    }

    function onTimerPause() {
    }

    function onTimerReset() {
    }

    function onTimerResume() {
    }

    function onTimerStart() {
    }

    function onTimerStop() {
    }

    function onWorkoutStepComplete() {
    }

    function onNextMultisportLeg() {
    }
