Do you mean the watch kicking in to HP mode, or the backlight gesture?
Either way, both seem to be working fine for me.

Im having the same issue on my F5.
Backlight turns on with gesture but high power features on CIQ watchfaces (e.g. Seconds hand) doesnt work.

I had this issue with the latest Beta firmware (that turned into this latest real firmware)... the high power mode for displaying a second screen/seconds wouldn't work with my CIQ watch face anymore.. had to revert back. I'm tired of chasing issues with new firmware so I'm just staying on the old one that actually works with stuff I use.

Well now I spoke too soon because as I plugged in my 5x to my computer this morning to charge it, it auto-updated to the new FW 4.1 and it was too late to go back once I noticed it. Now sure enough the temporary high power mode that allows my watch face to display seconds NO LONGER WORKS with the turn of my wrist. Super frustrating as this is the same issue that I had with the beta which I reported to Garmin but didn't get acknowledged. I emailed them again just now.. hoping to have a fix. Anyone that cares about this feature needs to stay on the previous FW.

Mine seems ok

No High Power mode for any of my watch faces I loaded from Garmin IQ either...... :mad:

Right now, I can't even get into Garmin IQ.
All I get is a generic menu page instead of the full blown web page.

I'm on 4.1 and it works fine for me.
