9.73 is still garbage for sensor drops

One hour ride. ONE HOUR. 

11 dropouts on hr. Scosche Rhythm+ 2.0 sensor. This is getting so damn old.

(Ignore the end, tried power cycling the sensor to see if that helped. Did not.)

Guess it's back to 9.10 for me. Again. There was a rumor a while back that this is a hardware problem. Maybe it's true and 9.10 or older just masked it better than the newer versions. 

  • Last Sunday I did 2h ride with speed and cadence sensors connected on beta 9.72. I had more than hundred dropouts, there was no single minute having it working properly.
    My personal opinion is that it's really hardware issue, I can't imagine that such critical problem can't be solved for more than one year if it would be software related only.

  • I had more like 50 dropouts in my first hour on 9.73 last night. Both power meter and heart rate monitor! Not good at all.

  • Also a 2h ride with 9.72 beta. In the HRM and Speed graph I don‘t see any dropout. Whereas during the ride I noticed two or three dropouts. But the sensors reconnected within seconds. So I really do not have any problem.

  • I abandoned using the Scosche Rhythm+ 2.0 because of this issue.  I had done a warranty replacement for the Rhythm+, but it didn't fix the problem.  There is some type of compatibility issue that neither Scosche or Garmin can address it seems.  I've gone back to the Rhythm+ 1.0 for the time being since it doesn't exhibit the same dropouts.

  • I have the + 2.0 and rhythm 24. Both work fine with my 530 on update 9.10 but nothing after that. After using an arm band for so long I can't go back to chest straps that rot out every year...

  • Updated today before the ride. Had a one hour bike ride and not a single sensor dropout. HR, speed and cadance sensors. Will see what will be with my road bike. There I have a powermeter and Varia radar.

  • Also for me with 945 as my pulse meter all is smooth again.

    Will check with my Levo SL eBike to make sure in few days, up till now rode anly my hard tail MTB.

  • Today I had a two hour bike ride with my road bike. Not a single sensor dropout. Connected sensors HR, speed sensor, power meter and Varia radar.

  • Could someone mail or point me in the right direction for firmware 9.10?

    Thanks a lot

  • It's in the .zip file with the 9.29 beta which used to be easy to find, but it looks like there aren't any direct links to anything but the latest public beta, which only includes 9.50 in the file. I could throw the .zip file I have online somewhere but I don't know how the forum overlords feel about outside download links...
