  • I noticed that only the first 17 elements were drawn in the almost empty layout of fleky74. Out of curiosity I cut the layout string at 256 characters and sent it to the device. This (by chance) results in exactly the faulty image of fleky74.
    So it is obvious that the layout string is not transferred correctly/completely for some reason.

  • Please check the odometer. If the value is correct on start/stop pause/resume stored correctly and reloaded.
    (value should increase to check if the difference is stored correctly).

    Especially on Forerunner watches and the Edges.

    thanks

  • Will try torrow and report back.

  • diseño 2.1.1.clones # 1 # 2 # 3 # 4, in all the same problem.

    I will try with new design 2.8.7. I see that the error is due to something I do wrong. I will keep trying, thank you very much. and sorry for my poor English

  • Please check the odometer.

    I did a test for Odometer and Notification count on my EDGE 1030:

    2 things can be seen in the pictures:

    1) Odometer works in principle. Entry in Settings is updated correctly, also pauses during activity do not cause errors, but on the Edge only 0 m is displayed.
    Start at odometer 147m. Activity adds 35 m. Setup shows 182 m.
    EDIT: see NEXT POSTINGS! („Problems“ solved!)



    2) Notification count shows an arbitrary start value. Yesterday it was always 4 (after pairing the iPhone), today the value starts at 5, but there are no unread notifications.
    EDIT: see NEXT POSTING!

  • I found out the "Notifications Count Problem"!!

    Notification Count counts all notifications on the iPhones Lock Screen.
    That might be: "Garmin Connect Mobile is ready to show your activity", "Your last payment with Apple pay:", "Honeywell sensor reports too low humidity" and so on...

    If one deletes all that lock screen messages - notification count shows 0!

    EDIT:
    Notification count counts all messages - that one on the lock screen, but in addition to that also the "real Garmin notifications" like phonecalls, SMS, Whatsapp and so on...

    EDIT2:
    The same happens with Android phones!

  • Thanks for adding the notification counter. Looks like it works fine on my fenix layout Thumbsup

  • I think I am the dumb ass too what concerns odometer: can it be that the value is set by meters but shown by km? Means - display for odometer needs 3 pecision for reading meters?

    (I should) READ THE F**# MANUAL!

  • Yes ((-: Value is shown in km

  • Sorry for the confusion! Im on a biketour now and see: odometer shows values. So seems all ok on Edge 1030!

    One more time - sorry!
