Edge 1030 Plus V5 VO2Max Performance condition not updating

9330433
over 3 years ago

Hi,

my Edge 1030 Plus does not update the VO2Max values nor does it show the performance condition popup since the update to V5.

The performance condition data is entirely missing from the fit file too.

It behaved normal with the previous software and since the V5 update it doesn't update those metrics anymore.

Training effect etc. is updated still.

I've reconnected all sensors (HRM, power meter, speed sensor) but this didn't help.

I've turned the notifications for the performance condition off and back on again (same for new VO2Max) but this didn't help either.

I've done workouts like before which were providing updates to these metrics.

I've not done a full reset as I am unclear if that would have a negative impact on the fitness data and data on

the device (i.e. if the existing rides etc. would sync back from connect or if these would be missing then)

Maybe there is another solution.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

A.

    How many rides have you completed since the update?  Maybe the update reset that feature and if that happens it takes a few rides before it regenerates and you see it.  This is what happens if you reset the unit.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I've had 4 longer rides since then all of which would have typically caused the metric to update. The unit didn't behave as if it was reset after the update. It was like every other update before that - I was given a prompt to decide if I wanted to install the update and after confirming the device restarted but every setting and everything else was still the same and nothing hinted towards a reset.

    The change log for the update does mention updating the Firstbeat library - could that be the playing a role here?

    I am surprised that no one else seems to have this issue.

    Is there anything else I can do or do I have to hope this is potentially fixed with the next update? Could the update be rolled back for troubleshooting purposes?

    It is a bit annoying that I don't get any updates which basically means I'm not able to track my progress like before.

    Thanks and Cheers,

    A.

    If you stay too low in Fc you will not have an estimate of the VO² Max, you need a certain intensity

    Thank you for your input. I'm aware of that.

    The intensity factor for those rides was close to 1 or above and exercise load was between 130 and above 500 for each ride - so I don't think that too low intensity was the problem.

    I have Favero Assioma which worked well for many months in that setup.

    My rides prior to the update have all performance data in the fit files (and in the Garmin plots) and the VO2Max was updating based on performance (except for low intensity rides as you mentioned). With the update this stopped but my training and my equipment didn't change. 

    It is somewhat clear to me that the update made a change and I like to understand if I can do anything to get the metrics back working again as it is quite annoying to have this setup and everything dialled in to the personal preferences etc. and then it doesn't work as well anymore due to a software upgrade (as I said - I believe the update caused this as nothing else has changed). The fact that one needs a fairly intense ride for at least 10 to 20 minutes before it is even clear if any change has solved the issue is somewhat annoying too as this is somewhat conflicting with my training habits.

    Any suggestion or input is highly appreciated.

    short update - it seems clear now that this is a problem with the Edge 1030 Plus after the V5 software upgrade...

    I've had a ride today where I logged the activity simultaneously with the Edge (for the full ride) and the Fenix 6 (for the last 15 min of the ride) and the performance condition as well as VO2Max were updated on the Fenix but weren't on the Edge.

    I've actively restarted the Edge now and will have to see next time if that makes a difference.

    I'm quite surprised that this seems to be an issue that only I have.

    Same here, VO2 not updating and heat acclimation not updating since version 5

    Thank you for your reply!

    May I ask which power meter you're using? Maybe off-brand are causing issues and Garmin ones don't.

    The ticket I logged with Garmin support wasn't successful so far. The first reply after several days was stating essentially that I shouldn't have gotten the readings in the first place. I think not all of the information I provided was factored in when the reply was written.

    I use a Favero Assioma Uno. Thanks.

    After a Hard reset i have the VO2Max again updating. Today i went for a ride and when i updated the ride a new VO2Max updated in my Garmin coonnect. Try it if you want.

    thanks for that.

    Did a hard reset but that was also removing the training status - it seems like it is not reflecting the training status on the device now from GC.

    I have also done a couple of rides now and nothing updated so far.

    It somehow seems as if the TrueUp isn't syncing back to the Edge fully.

    How are the Favero connecting to your Edge? I noticed that after the reset it connected through BLE but changed that to ANT+. Maybe the behaviour is different if BLE is used.
