Beta 9.79 might have fixed the sensor drops!!!

Hi,

I used my 530 today for the first time after the Beta (9.79) installation and rode my MTB with only my Garmin 945 as a pulse sensor and my Samsung S21 connected via BT for accident alert.

Looked on the 1:20hr ride pulse chart and it seems to be full with no drops.

Will ride later this week on my eMTB with cadence, power and other sensors as well to make sure it is w/o any drops as well.

THANKS!!!!

I tried to post on the beta forum but I can't/don't have that option.

I also did a 50k road ride on the weekend with the .79 beta and had zero dropouts. Did my usual route and with previous firmware version I always had one or two sensor dropouts.

Which Edge are you using?
- Edge 530
What sensors do you have paired?
- Stages power meter
- Garmin HRM Pro Plus
- Garmin Varia RTL515
- iPhone
What was your experience with sensor connectivity prior to the beta?
- At least one or two sensor dropouts on every ride
Has this behavior changed with the beta?
- Only did one ride, but no sensor dropouts

That's very good to know.

I was fairly successful turning wifi off both on edge and phone, but yesterday I had multiple consecutive dropouts while riding indoors.

I'll give beta a try.

ANy ideas when 9.79 gets generally released?

0 SloMTBR over 1 year ago

No sensor drops, but I had a spontaneous restart on yesterday's ride with 9.79b.

Sorry, it did not solve. But things are getting better.

Is there a way to return to the latest released version? I don't have any problem with sensors with the beta, but it's been fee riders that m. Edge 530 calculates wrong elevation numbers according to past rides and measurements done with m forerunner 945

Instructions and files were in the beta zip download. Don't forget to backup your settings files first as rolling back will reset them.
