Is this not related to your headphones and their BT connection?

Don't think so, since i have no problems using these with mobile phone and PC.

I tracked all the betas and did notice this comes from 5.58 (being precise, can't be 100% sure though).

Does this version introduce the power spike bug that 6.0 is plagued with?

Does this version introduce the power spike bug that 6.0 is plagued with?

As far as I remember, this bug was already present in 5.57.

Thank you, Allan. I went all the way back to 5.1 to get rid of it. Quite annoying having to set up everything (after flashing the downgrade version of 5.1), checking whether everything is back to working order right now.

I did report the power spikes to Garmin support, but I fear it might get lost in the usual 1st level support loop. Do we know whether Garmin is working on the issue or will we be stuck on 5.1 forever?

ANT+ Weight Scales not connected!

they don't do since Fenix 3. Nothing new. For Tanita scales, there's something in the IQ Store I believe.
