New Edge 530 Public Beta 3.33 Now Available

Garmin-Matthew
over 5 years ago

A new Beta software for the Edge 530 has been released. Full change log, instructions, and software for installing the beta can be found here.

Changes made from version 3.20 to 3.33:

  • Fixes connectivity issues that could have caused ANT+ or BLE sensors to lose connection and never reconnect.
  • Fixes an issue that caused Bluetooth communication to lock up, which could have affected phone connectivity and device power down.
  • Improved performance in GPS + GALILEO mode.

    Garmin really, still no normal radar tone. It was back on 520+ some time ago.

    - We are aware of this issue and working on a resolution. It seems to be very uncommon but would have also impacted SW version 3.20

  • 0 over 5 years ago in reply to doga666

    - We will have a future release (July) that will give you an option to choose the radar alert tone.

    After one ride with the new FW seems to work much better. No dropouts or value freezes. GPS + Galileo is usable now, although unfortunately not more accurate that GPS + Glonass. I hope this gets improved further. Also the ClimbPro seemed to be much more usable now e.g. the profile shown and my location on it corresponded pretty much to the terrain.

    Thanks for the report.  I have no sensor drops nor freezes, but I do have a phone connectivity issue that is unresolved with the 3.20.  I'm holding off trying the beta 3.33 because I'm afraid it might bring other issues such as freezes or reboots.  I'd hate to have the unit reboot in the middle of my ride.

  • 0 over 5 years ago in reply to noahpene

    I can confirm the Edge 530 rebooted with an incoming text message today.  

  • 0 over 5 years ago in reply to noahpene

    Thanks for the update.  I think I'll hold off on the beta for now.  The installation instruction says if you revert back to the public release you'll lose all user settings.

    I see a NoahPene on Strava and I wonder if it's you.  I'm in the front range and live at Carter Lake.  I rode with you shortly a few years ago.  Just saying 'hi' if you are indeed the same rider :-)

  • 0 over 5 years ago in reply to Pdlpsher

    Yes that is me.  I remember.  

  • 0 over 5 years ago in reply to noahpene

    Good deal.  You are a strong rider with so many top-10 Strava placings.  Best wishes to your riding endeavors and perhaps we'll meet again in the future.
