Disable standby mode when using GSPRO connector

4671348 1 day ago

whenever GarminR5 sends the message entering standby mode to gspro we instantly lose connection to the gs pro connector and have to restart the connection process which is pretty inconvenient especially during rounds. could you guys please disable the standby message when leveraging the gs pro connector app? thanks.

They should allow us to disable standby mode when the R50 is plugged in. I spoke with garmin and the Only reason for this is to save battery. 3 minutes when ball is in front with green light and 20 minutes…

If the green light is on it is 3 minutes to take your shot or it goes into standby. This is in GSPro.

With red light is on I’m now over 25 minutes and no standby in GSPro range.

When on Garmin range it’s 3 minutes green and 20 minutes red.

it took less than a minute to connect back to GSPro and didn’t lose the GSPro data.

that's a pretty inconvenient sequence and way more minutes for juniors or unknowledgeable folks to adjust to. stop sending the system in standby mode would be the better play.

With red light on in GSPro it takes a very long time to go into standby mode. Too long to even care or worry about it.

Green light is 3 minutes either way. Not a big deal to me.

Thanks for that feedback. Glad it's not inconvenient for you but we have instructors for juniors here and post swing discussions can run a bit long. knowing that leaving it in the red state gives us more time is a big help. ty

Oh ok, I get it now. This could be an issue when instructing kids. If the unit is plugged in I don’t understand the sleep mode function regardless of green or red light. Maybe it saves camera life. I believe the camera is active when the green light is on. Would be good to know this.
