The 26 software update , resulted in my fenix 6x. Pro to drain battery very quickly . I charged it 100% didn’t do any activity and it fell in 30% in one day. Also the gps is not accurate . I mean the watch is useless with this software updaTe .

Is there a link somewhere to guide through installing older versions of software?
I hear stories of Garmin sending people replacement (reconditioned) watches so I really don’t know why they don’t just…
Hi,
Have you try a long press Light button until shutdown ? (upper left button).
I recommend to remove all CIQ Store content, Watchface, Datafields, Widgets, etc.
then reinstall them one by one to check…
Contact support. They walked me through a few things and were good at listening to the troubleshooting steps I had already taken. I am out of warranty but they are replacing the watch with a re-certified…

then reinstall them one by one to check if one of them generate the issue. The most important information is that CIQ content should not be older than February 2023 because of API upgrade du to 3.4.x for CIQ System 6.
I did the shut down .
also I never changed the watchface. And never downloaded stuff
the problem still occurs
Same Problem here .. it worked perfectly fine before the update … what a shame
Battery is fine for my 6X Pro, but many features are broken.
Fastest segment and fastest mile alerts after a run have amnesia and always displays the fastest mile and segment in that specific run as the fastest ever. Useless.
When running any course that I load, the PacePro and actual distances get increasingly out of sync over the run. PacePro starts reporting mile splits about 0.05 miles short of the activity GPS resulting in them getting way out of sync after 20 miles and it becomes very confusing.
Popup messages from my phone often get stuck halfway on the screen or just show the green message icon with no message.
Garmin Connect popup messages (like for “you earned a badge”) sometimes just show the Garmin Connect logo and nothing else.
All of these worked great prior to V26. Tried rebooting the watch, synch w/Garmin Express on the PC and nothing helps!
I'm facing another problem: the speed is incorrect during the run. the values I'm getting are lower than the reality. For example I was running at 4'12" but the garmin said 4'45". Any suggestions?
This 26 release has hosed my fenix 6x pro. I have reset it several times and it doesnt resolve the issues. The navigation freezes and alerts that come in cause a very long vibration instead of the normal quick vibration. I have no custom apps or any downloaded content. I hope a bug fix update is on its way!
Got the same battery issue! The reason: Der heart rate sensor is always on (green light) even when not measuring. This drains the battery a lot.
Contact support. They walked me through a few things and were good at listening to the troubleshooting steps I had already taken. I am out of warranty but they are replacing the watch with a re-certified one. Pretty cool of them. Hopefully the new one works :)
After the recent update my Fenix 6 pro also having battery issues. Uses to be last around 13 days, now it's like full charge then I lose almost 50% in an hour plus...
The same with me..
