Pressing Down button doesn't exit from activity to Watchface after updates...

Former Member over 7 years ago

I've got 5x with ver.9.02

Here it is video of this bug - https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ec8etcbkbc6dwo/Down-button-bug.mp4?dl=0

This option was ok before the last updates.

Right now It's not possible for me to switch from:

1) active Timer -- > press Down 2-3 sec ---> Watchface - it doesn't work
2) active Stopwatch ---> press Down 2-3 sec --> WatchFace - it doesn't work
3) active Activity (Run, Walking, Strength etc.)---> press Down 2-3 sec ----> WatchFace - it doesn't work

Guys, what's wrong?
I don't use hotkey for Down button. This option was good to look at current time during the Activity.

Does it mean that Garmin REMOVE such option? :-(

Have you faced with this problem?

It works fine on my F5X running 9.10beta. Maybe they have solved this bug, because in previous versions I had this problem, too.

I've updated to firmware 9.10 for Fenix 5X (June 10th) .

Result the same - I can use all buttons as a Hot keys but I can't exit activity by long Down button press.
But when I set Down key as Hot key - it works for activity. For example - I've assigned flashlight for Down,
Long press Start button - Alarm clock started. When I pressed 2-3 sec Down buton - I can see Flashlight.
ok, next I'll disable any hotkey for Down button.
Next time when I started Alarm clock - it was not possible to me to switch to FatchFace.

Thus firmware 9.10 doesn't solve my problem. :-(

Firmware - 9.10.
I tried some options - it doesn't work for me. Why ? :-(

I know at least 2 friends with such bug for Fenix 5X. :mad:

Watch Face you are using is well known for causing troubles, so choose some other WF, or even better, one of the original ones, and try again.

I'm affraid it doesn't work. :(
I've changed to default Garmin Watchface - problem the same - watch video - https://www.dropbox.com/s/wl7oq505czjqa6n/Default-watchface-change.mp4?dl=0

Hi niktibik

Can you try changing your hot key shortcut back to "Widgets." Menu - Settings - System - Hot Keys - "Hold Down" - "Widgets." I believe if you reconfigure this setting you should see the expected behavior again.
