Notifications Missing

Using Fenix 3 with ActiFace 4.1.1 upd 1 and while the notifications icon and number used to work, for some reason they no longer appear. Notification widget shows notifications pending but alas none shown in ActiFace. Configuration issue??

Thanks

Good spot ;)

Hi Petr,

let me come back to this screen. How can I activate the HR monitor (red heart) in the watchface? I am not able to see it and would like too, or is this just a mock-up?

Hi, I finally didn't released this functionality as I don't see it very usable because HR value is refreshed once per 3-4 minutes even if you fixed the current HR in the HR widget.

Ok, thanks for the info. This is a pitty, as I got alerted by the new watchface "ECG Live" [1], which seems to be able to pull the HR once the watchface wakes up (raising the arm)...
Nevertheless, you could pull the data once its is available and display a curve over the day as well for a configurable scale (10, 30, 50, 300 minutes or so...) and thus give us a good indication of the HR over the day or the last activity overall...

Pedal Strokes

Hi Peter!

Loving the watch face.

I was wondering - for us cyclists - are you able to add in a field for Pedal Strokes? Is it possible to have that number 'add' to steps?

On GC it is listed as SumStrokes

" />">

PS. How often is the watch face refreshed?

thanks for your time!

Hi, I'm sorry but There are no data such as pedal strokes available for watchfaces.

The screen is usually refreshed at least once per minute, but calculations are executed once per 5 minutes for the graph and once a day for sunset times.

option to change hours and minutes numbers colors

Hi, i love your watch face, my only sugestión is to add the option on been able to change the color of the minutes and hours independently and maybe giving the option of selecting heart for the graph

I am running ActiFace version 4.1.1 on my Forerunner 735xt and everything seemed to be working fine until this morning. I have the watch face set to show the battery percentage. This morning I charged my 735xt and noticed that the battery percentage disappeared after sitting on the charger for a while. Even after removing the watch from the charger, the battery percentage isn't displayed. Is the watch face set to show the percentage only if it's not 100%?

This isn't even an issue of flicking the watch face into high-power mode as no matter what I do, the battery percentage won't display any more (and it used to all the time). Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Time format with leading zero

Nice looking and functional watchface and the only watchface that is better than the original :) . However i would prefer that the time was presented in a fixed format, with a leading zero e.g 09:30 instead off 9:30 - FR 920xt 7.10
