Battery charging status?

Former Member over 8 years ago

Did anybody have similar problem like me. When I start charging my Fenix 5, batter percentage on watch doesn't change. If I disconnect charging cable and then connect it back to watch, battery percentage changes up, but if cable is connected percentage of battery stays at same nummber?

thank you

With the Beta version 4.12 there is no freeze during charging. You can watch the second hand still move and the battery percentage climb.

Updated to 4.14 and plugged the watch to charge it. Same story as before

Did anyone report this issue to developers? I have exactly the same now (4.10).
During charging everything freezes (time, alarms, and charging progress...)

I have not as yet tested this on 4.14 but i did report it on the previous version and the guys were looking into it.

What is the watch face you use while charging the battery?

I have FitX

What is the watch face you use while charging the battery?

Maybe try charging the battery on the original watch face, This will eliminate problems with the installed software
Does the watch freeze when the battery is charged even when the system is clean? (Without application from Garmin store)

i had the same issue in my Fenix Chronos.

I think I have found the basis of the problem.

I have removed the DS weather widget that supports background processes and I have not experienced the problem again.

Maybe it's also happening with other widgets.
