Freezing during activity and during Garmin pay pin

Former Member

  • Ever since I got the watch it will randomly freeze on the last number of my pin for Garmin pay. Recently it has frozen mid activity (froze on time of day during the scrolling feature of run) After restarting the watch the activity is paused and I can resume BUT I lose some of the gps tracking 

anyone else experiencing this??

  • Indeed. I have the same. During running and without pressing any button, the watch is suddenly restarting. After starting the screen shows options to continue or save etc but none of the options are working. In fact, none of the buttons are working either! A manual restart by pressing the off button does not have any effect. By the way, this is the third time this happens. Even after deinstall all widges and other options (advice from Garmin). Now waiting for other options.....

    Yes, mine does that as well - freezes on the last digit when putting in my pin for the wallet. Any tips?

  • Did the problem has gone 4 u 

    i was working for me flawlessly but last week it came update 13.10 and since that update I got the same problem like u freeze on last digit of pin on garmin pay 

  • it happened once on last PIN digit during Walking activity on 12.20 firmware

  • Happens to me too.  New watch. 

  • Meanwhile, I’ve contacted my supplier and he gave me the best advice ever Relaxed

    - de-install all additional widges and do a soft reset (see the manual).

    After some days, I still had problems. So time for his second option .

    - do the hard reset by following the manual instructions

    Be aware all your data will be deleted, but can be restored when you sync with your history in garmin connect.

    All measures like your max hard-rate, hard-rate zones, vo2 max, training course and routes  etc will disappear too.

    Do your setup again after the hard-reset as you use it for the first time.

    Do NOT install extra widgets for the time being. So keep ‘it clean’ and use your device for some time in this configuration.

    I’m running for 4 month now without any problems. Even my GPS was much more accurate.

    Last week I’ve added thr Spotify widget. Still no issues as expected.

    Hope this will help other.  Have fun with running.ThumbsupRunner tone2‍♂️

  • I have done that 

    help desk was giving me the same advice and I have done both uninstall all other apps ( did not helped) 

    done full factory reset wipe all data 

    and now still freeze and part of data is lost !!!! 
    mall that’s happened to me after last update 13.10

  • I’ve the same software version 13.10 - no issue till now Fingers crossed

    Garmin pay should not cause any problems ofcourse but I did not even used this widget. After the reset I just only did my setup and thats it. Just to be sure the problem could not come from any other feature.

    My advice is to do a hard reset again, the setup and keep it clean for a while.

    I know, it is ridiculous because a device like this should work properly. Even when using the additional widges.

    Otherwise you can contact your supplier on order to support (?)

  • Hello everyone. How did you solve this problem? I bought a Fenix ​​6 today and I have the same problem ... FW 15.20. 

     New Watch and poor working .... Confused

  • Yes same problem here but I found that mine only froze because last 2 digits of my pin were the same. By entering the first and then rotating the numbers around the dial to select the same number I could then use wallet.  Can’t believe all users had same problem but this fixed mine.
