Very strange but Stress Test HR is not working, more exactly it is working not all times, just 1 or 2 times per week its data comes in Garmin Connect. And I don't understand why is it. I'm trying to do it each day almost the same time and see that on watch Stress Test went through OK but nothing in GC. It started from receiving of watch about 3 weeks ago till now through all betas

This is the reason why I stopped doing it in the morning, GC doesn't show and save the data anyway, what's the point... hopefully they fix this bug soon

Which one?!?

Hard to say, today, for example, I've done 4 times, but no one came in GC. With HRM Tri

This bug reported in the last Beta thread remains unsolved too:

Auto Scroll in Trail Run

I believe this is a Beta issue, as I recall this function working before...when completing a TRail Run, with Data Screens set to "auto scroll" medium--or any setting--the data screens must be manually advanced. Tried a reboot, to no avail. Anyone else see this bug?

Since update to 4.02 the wrist HR LEDs are very often steady and not fast blinking (although HR seems to be measured) - don't know if this is OK...

But more confusing is:
Connected the charger yesterday (Sunday) ~11pm.
Got up Monday at around 6am and watch face is showing 12% of the weekly activity is fulfilled (using WF actiface v.6.0, setting: first day of the week is Monday). Absolutely no idea where this data comes from.

3P watch faces still not syncing all data

Altitude still not showing and sunrise/sunset intermittent on 3P watch faces.

Problem with "Line" watch face

I have a 5X and I am running 4.02 Beta. I am trying to use the "Line" watch face downloaded from Connect IQ. I changed the settings every way possible and it keeps returning to the original download settings after an hour or so. If I check the settings in Garmin Express or Garmin Connect, they show the settings I changed, until it reverts back and then they show the original download settings. Any suggestions?

I have 4.10 now and the error continues........

I'm also still seeing it. Beta team told me that they have a fix for it coming in the next beta FW.

I really hope they get this to work some day. I've been paying Strava premium since three months just to use segments and haven't had much joy with it so far. :(
