onHold event never fires near the 12 o'clock screen edge on tactix 8 (guessed likely conflict with system touchscreen-lock's implementation)

Test conditions on real tactix 8: minimal view, black background, one rectangle that snaps to the finger position in onDragging. No bitmap blits, no scene graph, no math — drawContent is effectively empty. Measured behavior First second or two: events...

The graph lines on the y axis are from 78 to 190. My heart rate is about 70 to 90. So only the bottom part of the graph is used with the top all unused. This makes it harder to visualise. Y axis should dynamicly adjust based on the range for selected...

Currently, access to HTTP servers (without encryption) is only possible when Garmin devices are paired with iOS devices. When paired with Android devices, HTTPS is enforced. To my understanding, this is not an inherent limitation of Android itself,...

In the API docs, the nativeNum option is documented for ActivityRecording.Session.createField(), but not DataField.createField(), although I believe it's actually available for both functions. (Since I have an old CIQ data field which uses nativeNum,...
