Edge 530 Disconnects ALL Sensors WHILE Riding (ver. 9.75)

I also have it randomly disconnect my Garmin Speed Sensor 2.   You have to shut down the 530 and restart it to get the sensor back

Feeling adventurous?

Sounds like you might have "auto-pause" enabled, which is definitely seems to be a contributing factor.  Garmin Connect and Strava will still report moving vs. overall time, and moving average vs. overall average speed, so having auto-pause enabled only changes the average speed you see during the ride.  Try turning off auto-pause, breaks are part of the ride anyway.

Also try turning off the WiFi on the Edge itself, and even on your phone.  You generally don't need WiFi while you ride and it's just another source of interference.  I never turn the WiFi on the Edge on, I'm not sure why I would even need it.

Perhaps I'm just lucky, but without auto-pause and WiFi turned on I almost never get a drop.  Maybe one every ten rides, and it always reconnects.  Generally I'm near another source of possible interference when it happens, like on a bridge with a lot of steelwork. 

I mostly agree with Cranky K.

Disabling auto-pause seemed to fix my sensor dropouts (at least for the few miles test I performed). However, turning off WiFi (on my phone) did not help. But, turning off Bluetooth (on my phone) did help. 

I should of mentioned that my success is with BT always on, but auto-pause always off.  WiFi on Edge always off too, but not sure if that plays any part in it.

I have tried everything possible. My Edge 530 kept dropping off all sensors for the last two months. I tried what is suggested here twice. I have erased the Edge twice. Re-paired all the sensors. Today was the most annoying of all days! The radar kept disconnecting when I needed it the most. Either Garmin will step up to the plate or will lose long-time customers.

Perhaps try the current (on-going last 2 months) x30 beta, it’s sole focus is

• A fix to address sensor dropout issues experienced by some customers

Report you experience either way in the beta forum https://forums.garmin.com/beta-program/edge-530-830-1030-series/f/community-discussion/334457/xx-79-beta-feedback and here if you like.

So my 530 updated to 9.75 a few days ago and suddenly my power sensor and cadence sensor consistently dropped.  I installed beta 9.79 and saw some improvement, but alas still dropping those two sensors frequently.  Whata crapshoot.  I have a Gran Fondo at the end of Sept and my 530 takes a dump now.  Trying to figure out how to go bact to 9.73 or some prior version that worked!! (at least for me).  Sigh

Same here. Frustrating!!! I would be nice to have Garmin step in and explain and even better fix it!
