Garmin R10 keeps going into standby mode but doesn't wake up

I have been using my Garmin R10 with GSPro for over 3 months with no issues. It works great with the open API software until about 2 weeks ago. I can get the garmin to connect to my phone, I can get it to connect in the E60 app, and the Open API shows connected to GSPro and the GarminR10. When I send a test shot from the Open API software it shows a shot being made in GSPro so I have eliminated any issues with GSPro or open API.

The R10 will be flashing green as it's supposed to but when I try to take a shot it goes from solid red directly into standby mode (blinking white) and does not show the standard "wake up" option. I have tried tapping the power button which will make it green again but then the exact same thing happens. I have cycled it on and off, held the power button down until it goes to solid blue, then solid green, but still has the same problem.

I even tried using the Garmin Golf driving range software and am getting the exact same problem. Any advice as I have tried absolutely everything!

Thanks,

There is an api that should connect R10 directly to Your PC.

Again, cant link, but if You search Youtube You should find

Try this search: r10 directly to gspro

@Cody, i have verified the version, your updates did not fix it.

Had a session today, and of course a lot of sleep issues when starting up.

Appears that You have to do this in a particular order..

Make sure Your R10 is connected and flashing green BEFORE entering range.

If not be prepared to exit the range session and restart the R10.

Still can't believe why Garmin has not removed the sleep function altogether. It's been a hassle the last year or so. And we are not saving the world with this function.

My R10 tends to go into Sleep mode when I have other players playing with me. Could to much motion cause the unit to go into Sleep mode (white blinking light)? How do I avoid this? Very annoying to constantly keep reseting the unit.

Yes, too much movement can cause this. I think the unit treats it as interference, or gets confused. How to avoid? Less movements I don't expect Garmin to fix any issues on this unit anymore.
