Is there a reason the Sensor Hub version for the 5X+ went from v230 to v221?

0 iacchos over 6 years ago

We have now since the 30 of November been offered 2 betas but no new Release. Is it the plan that we should use beta software for Fenix 5/5s Plus in the future or when will you move these bug fixes to a proper release.

Barometer widget works totally incorrectly. No graph at all. It shows line for a moment and then clears. 3rd party CIQ widget is ok, pressure is ok too.
SW 6.58, ANT BLE 3.32, Sensor hub 2.30 Wifi 2.50, GPS 2.50

For me battery life seems to have become worse;

3-17-2019 12:53:24 UTC
Software: 6.58
Time on since last charge: 4d:23:21:50 (429710 sec)
Time in low power: 4d:20:33:15 (419595 sec)
Time with backlight on: 01:10:05 (4205 sec)
Time with GPS on: 02:07:21 (7641 sec)
Time with OHR active scan on: 00:42:02 (2522 sec)
Time with WIFI on: 00:00:40 (40 sec)
Time with ANT active scan on: 00:24:33 (1473 sec)
Time with BLE active scan on: 00:26:40 (1600 sec)
Time with GCM connected: 4d:21:08:31 (421711 sec)

Device info when plugged in:
Battery percentage: 27.859373%
Current backlight mode: 3
Current backlight brightness: 20%
-----------------------------------

I also still have this annoying bug;

When doing a scheduled running workout, and getting an alert, heart rate for example, the screen sometimes switches to the first default data screen, first in black, instead of going back to the workout data screen.
Very irritating when doing a heartrate based interval!

Anyone else see this issue?

Bonjour je voudrais savoir avec quel widget ou application vous arrivez à avoir une analyse aussi fine de votre consommation batterie merci à vous

0 Former Member over 6 years ago

Marcski79, Fafaesc03 is asking wich widget or app you used to get those precise numbers of your battery consumption ?

And as a matter of fact, I'm also interested :-)

It is from the widget called "Device Usage". This is a built-in widget that I believe is only visible on the watch. So you must add the widget from the watch, not from the Mobile App or Garmin Express. Go to any widget, hold the "up" button, scroll down to and select "Add Widget", and then scroll to the end where you should find "Device Usage".

Great ! Thx

Correct, but the text was actually from the usage file in the DEBUG folder
