Garmin Edge 530 bike computer, software version 9.40
Connected to Varia taillight/radar when riding
I've noticed a bug in screen management when the device is in power saving mode. This is repeatable in a couple of different ways
1. When I hit a 5-mile lap (in power saving mode), the dark screen activates and the lap information pops up, but then the screen freezes with this information. When it is time for the screen to go dark again, a message pops up saying "Powersaving mode in 3" but this message also freezes - it does not continue to count down to 2 and 1 before going dark like it is supposed to. So now I have a lap screen with the stuck "Powersaving mode in 3" message displayed. If I hit the lower right back button, it does back out of the lap screen to the normal screen, and then goes into power saving mode properly afterwards. Note the connected varia notifications do work properly while the screen is frozen with the lap information. Meaning if a car comes up behind me, it does initiate the side notification in red with the approaching vehicle indicator, returns to green when the car passes, and exits the notification, but leaves the frozen lap screen.
2. If the Edge loses connectivity with the Varia while in power saving mode, the screen comes alive and displays a "radar disconnected" message at the bottom of the screen. This message NEVER goes away. Can't get rid of it with the back button. If I hit a 5-mile lap after this occurs, the screen displays the behavior I described above, but this "radar disconnected" message remains at the bottom of the screen. If I unfreeze the lap screen with the back button, the radar message still remains. It's just ... there, as long as I'm in one of the active riding display modes.
