Flashlight strobe with Treadmill, but not able to disable

Did you possibly turn it to be on automatically? support.garmin.com/.../

Same here, can’t turn it off

Thanks, but in the article it mention activity settings and I don't have any Flashlight Strobe in Treadmill activity settings. I have it in Run activity settings.

Is there any general setting that can activate strobe during activity?

Ah, sorry, that makes sense though, to not have that as a treadmill setting. Do you have it on in your Run activity? Maybe delete the treadmill activity and then add it again.

I’ve tried deleting the run activity even though it had strobe off.  Read someplace on here that that might cause it.  I’ll try deleting the treadmill app activity and add it back.  I’ll report back this evening after sunset when I find out if it works. 

I should clarify, mine will only strobe around sunset and before sunrise. Sorry if this has caused any confusion 

Good to know. Thank you! The information will help us track down the bug to get it fixed for everyone.

Thank you in advance for your next test and reporting back to this thread. Based on your upcoming test result, it will help push this issue upward. Thanks again!

First of all your recommendations fixed my watch from having the strobe turn on during the treadmill activity.  However after my watch reset and I tested the treadmill activity and the strobe was off.  Then my watch asked me to restore settings from connect.  Looked like a previous save, i said yes and my watch went back to previous settings I’m guessing before the reset. Strobe was back on during treadmill activity. I started over again with the reset, when prompted to restore from connect I didn’t.  Now the strobe is off during the treadmill activity.   Unfortunately now I have a lot of things like data screens, watch faces, activities to add back now from the reset.  I will be keeping a eye out for anything having to do with the strobe settings.   

Thank you

Tested now this morning, before and after sunset. It's the same for me. 

I only had strobe in treadmill before sunrise.

I always do long-press-light-button-reset after new software install, but did it again. Did not help. I'm not so interested in doing a factory reset without restore.

Could it be some hidden option in the Treadmill activity file that is enabled?

sHooTer, can you do a copy on watch of your working Treadmill activity and copy that activity file from watch and attatch it to this thread (need to be zipped)?
