    Hi,

    I've met this issue several times from different 920xt users, but I'm affraid it's caused by some weird firmware bug when history of activity tracker has stuck and only today stats are updating. You have to reset activity tracker data or make all device reset. See the conversation with rbergin, he was solving the same issue.


    Hi, I deleted the history on my 920, and now it seems to work well. I can see the graph that shifts on the left, with new values every day. I have another problem now, but it is not related with your application (it seems that 920 doens't upload in Garmin Connnect the values of the steps.... :().
    Anyway, I left 920 turned on during the night; today I'll turn it off and then turn it on again Tomorrow mornig, just to see what will happen.
    Thanks,
    Simone
  • Hi, thank you for update. Maybe you should consider master reset if your 920 has more weird issues. Or let your phone "forget" this device and pair it again.. it will do a complete synchronization then..

    Thanks. Last feedback: Yesterday I switched the 920 off before sleep, and then I switched it on this morning: the graph didn't change, except for the last day (today). So I'll leave it on this night, just to see what will happen. Do you think I have to leave it on in order to change the graph, or it is a strange behavior of my 920?

    So if I understand, only changing column is the most right one, others are the same as yesterday (also count of columns)? Have you checked activity tracker history on device? To me, it shouldn't have an impact on history records when you leave watches switched off. I've never tried it, maybe you found a bug in the firmware and 920xt is not updating activity tracker history records when it is off over midnight. I'll try it on my 920 and let you know.

    I hope the ActiFace doesn't cause any battery drains, i did a lot of optimalizations and tests before I released it. Of course I will pay attention about that and doublecheck it. Known issue on F3 and 920xt is high battery draining if you leave your phone far away from watches and BT is all night trying to connect with. It can cut more than 40% during one night. Is it possible that it's your case? Let me know if your battery issue is still on, thanks.

    Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes it could well have been the BT connection issue that caused the battery drain as my phone may have been in the next room. Will check it out again and see how it goes with phone nearby.

    Feature request: percentage for battery F3.
    Thank u for the great work .
  • Just released version 1.6.

    - improved circle graph
    - optimalizations
    - added battery percentage for Fenix3
    - small design correction

    Installed the 1.6 update on my F3.

    I really like the battery percentage. Unfortunately, it is hard to read on the Fenix. Making the text a dark color would probably be more effective.

    Thank you for your feedback. Can you post some photo of the watchface on the Fenix, please? I can see it only in simulator which has more bright colors. Are you sure that dark color text would be readable on dark green or red? What about show only percentage without color fill inside battery icon?

    It actually is more legible in the picture than it is on my wrist. :-D
    Probably related to the camera in my Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
