Edge 1030 :: History Problem

Since beta 4.24, now on 4.36, when trying to view a ride, selecting History > Rides, edge 1030 freezes. I have to reset the device holding power button for 10 seconds.
Any idea? Any solution?
  • I’ve been seeing a hang / crash every time I attempt to access History > Rides. It seems to just hang, but if you let it sit there long enough, it restarts itself (stack overflow?).

    This started for me several months ago (but I have no good idea exactly when it started). I have 404 activities in the Garmin/Activities folder on the SD card I use.

    What I’d like to know is whether there’s a way to identify which of the .fit files are corrupted and tripping up the Edge. I’d like to avoid something like removing and selectively restoring files using some sort of bisection approach.

    I use Macs and I’m comfortable with the shell and non-GUI tools.

  • About 204 of them are the problem. The maximum number of activities on the Edge 1030 is 200 & your Edge is probably complaining about the number of activities you have on the device. I'm actually surprised you've got so many as whenever you do a f/w update it usually deletes any rides over that limit. The thing to be careful of is that it doesn't delete the oldest activities but the most recent ones above the 200 limit

    Try deleting some of the activities of your device to get you below that limit & see if it solves your issue

  • 200? Why bother accepting external SD cards?

  • I'm not Garmin so don't know their reasoning. But you can put 3rd party maps, courses & well just about anything you want on the SD card.

    You could connect the edge to a computer and move the activity files to your computer or if you wanted to leave them on the SD card move the activity files to another folder on the SD card, just not in the Activities folder. If you do either though you won't be able to see them in your history

    Although I'm not a Mac user, as you use one for connecting your edge, I believe you should ensure you empty the trashes folder on the card before ejecting the device. Maybe a fellow Mac user can correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Yeah, I’m aware of its use to hold extra maps.

    Anyway, I brought the number down to 200 and the crash no longer happens.

    And yes, I saved them off to one of my computers before doing that.

    But 200 is awfully stingy…

    As for the “Trash” folder, I didn’t drag the icons to the trash, I used the rm command. There’s no “trash folder” / undo with that.
