Edge 530 reboots 3-4 minutes after start of activity

Former Member

It now happened to me twice that my Edge 530 rebooted spontaneous about 3-4 minutes into an activity. The data is not lost, and I can just press start again after the reboot - missing only some data from the time it took to reboot. There are no issues with the device after this reboot and it has not happened consistently on all rides (one ride in between the below two did not have the issue).

Have not seen this issue on the forums before - so was wondering if anyone has seen this as well?

Firmware 3.20, Power & Heart Rate connected over ANT+. Phone (iOS) connected over Bluetooth. No courses or workouts loaded.

  • Have a look in the Garmin\Debugging folder for err_log.txt. If you have an error log could you post it or place it on a file sharing site and post a link.

    1st ride today with the Edge 530 and it rebooted randomly several time during the ride. I don't have my phone with me, just my Apple Watch. I tinkered with the buttons it restarted, then start this non sense rebooting in loop at least 5-7 time during a 2 hrs ride. Look like it was mentioning about losing satellites location and other messages that I couldn't read. The rebooting is running in loop for several iterations then stops and i have to restart the unit. looks like i didn't lose too many data. 

  • What works for me was disabling/uninstalling strava widget and strava courses apps.

    I know this post is a bit old, but it just happened to me. My second ride with my new Garmin edge 530, and it just rebooted from nothing when I was getting home. This below is the contents of the debug file, if you can help identifying what's the cause. Thanks.
