The backlight disrupts the temperature reading

The backlight disrupts the temperature reading, but not in the way you’d expect. It goes lower!

Is this normal behavior for the 1040? The temperature reads correctly until the backlight turns on. After the backlight turns on, the temperature drops by about five degrees celsius (about 40°F(?)). When the backlight turns off, the temperature gradually returns to normal. The higher the backlight brightness setting, the greater the temperature difference.

I have also owned devices like the 820 and 530, and this has never happened with them.

    Thank you! At least now I know this isn’t just my device.

    I am following our investigation and curious how you typically make use of the temperature data field.

    If your phone is typically connected while riding, I would suggest testing local weather data in place of device temperature.

    Are you really asking how to make use of a temperature measurement?

    This must be a joke.

    And then you suggest to use another Indirect temperature source, to use instead of one of the simplest measurements a outdoor device can possibly do?

    WOW

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Yes, knowing how a "bug" affects the user's experience is equally important to knowing what the Edge is doing.
    I will update this thread with any new info.
