When receiving a notification with this version the text has a "?" appended to it, like there would be a character that cannot be displayed. I am using a Fenix 5 sapphire version. Anyone else having this issue?

Bye

Same issue (with some apps). Not sure if related to latest beta or to upgrade to iOS 11.

Can someone explain what is implemented and what isn't for Workouts in this beta with Garmin Connect Web, Garmin Connect Mobile for Android

If you take a second look at the first post in this thread, you will see that there is still a further software update to come to make the Strength/Cardio workouts work.

Just some things I have reported to the Beta Team:

Missing translations all over: There are lots of texts that are not translated at least to Spanish, including some texts that were properly translated in version 4
- This is something that I have seen starting in the first v5 beta
Hourly Alert: It would be great if we could have the option to mute this while an activity is taking place (as we do for phone notifications)
Stress Widget: Loses graph when turning the watch off and on (like it did for the HR graph in the past, but was fixed in a previous fw version). I do understand this is only the graph and not the data itself
Alarms: Get overwritten by GC/GCM settings (I have read Garmin stated that was a GC/GCM issue) but since the Alarm is meant to be used (and for the most times set) in the watch I would expect the watch to get it sorted out
Running Dynamics HR-RUN: I have 2 HRM-RUN (with RD) connected to my watch, but I only use one or the other depending on the activity. When I enter an activity (this is, well before actually starting the timer) I have only one of those within ANT+ range the other being at least 400 meters away. While it does connect to the HRM, the watch does not show the RD pages even if I were to manually disconnect/connect the sensor I am wearing, until I disable the other sensor. Even then, the RD connection has occasional dropouts.

Yes, that was where my question came from. I read that and didn't think _anything_ would work but some things do. It's mostly curiousity but knowing more specifically what is supposed to work and what isn't helps beta users provide useful feedback.

Odsweng- When can we expect this for APAC versions? If we don't need APAC language support is there a way to switch to global releases instead of waiting for APAC releases

Of course I have.
I have tried to reboot the watch, I have also toggled the Light On/Off (both i watch mode and training mode) in the settings meny.

I'm having the same issue. Did you manage to get it working?
