Hi,

I tried to download for so many times, and keep saying that need to update on garmin express, which I have been already updated to the latest version.
Is there any other way or solution can fix this problem?
Thank you.

Some users have reported success when this happens with restarting (turn it off completely and then on) the watch after they have completed a firmware upgrade before attempting to download anything from the store. Have you tried that? If not, try that and let me know if it worked or not.

Is it possible to make the App/Widget avaible for the Edge 1000/820/520 ?

Can't install Forerunner - 235

I have tried many times, I am fully updated to v7.1 firmware and have restarted several times, but when I try to download I get: "This app requires an update of your Forerunner 235. Please use Garmin Express to update your Forerunner 235." Garmin Express has been connected and fully updated, there are no available updates. Please assist, I would like to add this useful widget, thank you.

Those functions can't be controlled within Connect IQ but there are plans for updates on devices supporting the newest features in Connect IQ 2.3.

Hi all,

I noticed that during the discharge the battery level is freeze at 8% and doesn't decrease until 0%. Is this a Garmin issue? Or a widget issue?

Regards and thanks!

i've noticed on my Forerunner 935 (fw 3.30) that the Statistics feature often crashes (left with CIQ ! icon)...it usually works when i go back to the watch face and go back into the widget, yet sometimes, i crashes multiple times.

anyone else notice this on the 935 or Fenix 5 watches?

What statistics feature are you looking at? The widget at this time only shows a battery image with percentage, is that what you are referring to?

EDIT: Also, what is in the log file at /GARMIN/APPS/LOGS/CIQ_LOG.TXT?

So embarrassed...

My BAD! I totally confused names of widgets. I was actually thinking of Battery gauge. Mea culpa.
