Fenix 6 reboots during kiteboarding activity and restarts with running activity

Fenix 6 reboots during kiteboarding activity and restarts with running activity. 

WOO Sports app WOO+Gps randomly changes kiting into running activity. Many users experience thisissue, super annoying.

  • Hello everyone. It happened today again during kitesurf activity which I was able to save only as running on beta 26.86 

  • , this is still being investigated as we are needing more information on this. You can upload the err_log.txt/ bak files and RAM.txt files from the watch's Debug folder to support.garmin.com/upload, but following the steps below can provide additional details to help narrow down the issue.


    Below is a link to our beta software update. If you would please load the update file on your watch and load the secure_config.gcd file into the Primary\Garmin\RemoteSW folder on your watch, this way we are able to collect more data from the beta build.

    Once the watch has been updated and loaded with the secure_config file, see if the watch will continue to crash during a kiteboarding activity. If the watch continues to crash, then we would need the err_log.txt/ bak files and RAM.txt files uploaded to support.garmin.com/upload

    Once the crash files have been uploaded, the backdating files to v26.00 are also provided in the download, if you choose to backdate to the current public version.

  • Hello - Are there any updates on this issue? This is affecting a ton of users and it is clearly not resolved as it happened to me yesterday and my partner and I have this happen at least once every couple sessions. It is very irritating, the only reason we are using Garmin watches is because of this app. I have the Garmin Fenix 6s Pro and he has the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro. Thank you.

  • Hello. I just installed beta 26,86 and and copied secure_cfg into RemoteSW. Ill let you know once it crashes again during kitesurfing activity. Hope resetting watch to defaults will not be necessary. 

  • Hello everyone. I didnt have time to install the „beta bug catcher” and went to kitesurfing session today. I turned off automatic updates in the Fenix 6 watch before session started and guess what happened during second hour of activity. This is pissing me off. Im Garmin and WOO user almost 3 years and this never happened before. If I find some time i will install the soft from link below.
