Edge530 datafield ANT communication not work after the device restart

Hey!

I have a datafield which showing my external sensor`s data using ANT communication. It is flawlessly working on Edge 520/520plus since a year. 

If I set my datafield on Edge 530 and start it, it works perfectly. However if I restart the Edge and start the datafield it doesn`t communicate with my sensor, not showing any data. 

If I swap the datafield to another one, restart the device, swap back, and start it, it is working until I restart the device again.

I don`t know how to debug this problem. Is there anyone who met the same problem?  Is there a bug in my program or in Edge 530?

Thanks in advance! :)

  • I have a Garmin 245 user reporting the same issue as eronb is reporting on the Tyrewiz.  This seems a bit different than the Edge x30 problem originally reported on this thread.  On the 245, the Data Field connects with the Moxy sensor (via generic ANT) immediately after it is installed, but then it would not connect again after the activity was exited.  Then it did connect again when then watch was powered down and powered back up.  Let me know if more details are needed.

    I observe the same behaviour with GaitCoach DF on FR645M.  The DF will only connect to RunScribe pods (and for the duration of one activity only) after the watch is restarted.  Software version 6.20.  Communications is by ANT generic channel.  GPS: 2.50.  WiFi: 2.50.  CIQ:3.1.1. WHR: 20.03.31.  ANT/BLE/BT: 3.60.  Sensor Hub:6.80.

    Internal behaviour is that onMessage() is successfully called only when the DF is run after the watch has been restarted.  After exiting the activity, it will never be called again in any subsequent activity.  It does not appear to be a signal strength problem in that the pods can be placed right next to the watch without making a difference.  GaitCoach users on 945 have also reported this behaviour to me.  In that case, after much experimentation with older firmware by the user, he encounters the problem with ANT/BLE/BT: 3.60 but NOT with ANT/BLE/BT: 3.08.

  • I just got the 245 firmware version from the user.  It's 3.10.

  • Is there new firmware since last week? Is the issue with 245 or 245 music? I tried 245 music last week and worked perfectly!
