New Edge 830 Public Beta 3.33 Now Available

Garmin-Matthew
over 5 years ago

A new Beta software for the Edge 830 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.

    I corrected my stupid mistake and now my 830 is updated to 3.33.

    Will this firmware update also fix ANT+ sensor dropouts (while still reconnecting after a few seconds).

    I have already put my 830 unit back in it's box and was going to deliver it to the shop for a refund this week, but if this update claims to fix it then I want to give it a shot.

    so today after 20 minutes all sensors were dropped, had to pull over and hold the power button down to restart, it was frozen once again. Then one hour later lost all sensors again but reconnected after 10-15 seconds. I really hope this gets fixed soon.

    Beta firmware in GPS+Galileo Mode works fine so far from within Germany. Positions mapped to the correct sides on the roads when not auto aligned to it.

    unfortunately no, still having dropouts.

    This is ridiculous.  Dont they debug these firmwares properly before posting?  I have (had) almost 100 courses all custom created.  I cant afford to lose them.  I copied them from my previous device before disposing it and I dont have a copy anywhere else.

    Yesterday I updated my Garmin with the Beta version. This went without problems. Today I made a trip of 42 km through the forest with the MTB. The connection with the telephone remained good. Received Whatsapp messages and could also respond via the Garmin.
    My cadence sensor and speed sensor have also not disconnected.
    This was done once with the first ride with the previous version.
    Have not used Galileo yet.

    No issues with sensor dropouts (had a Fevero Assioma power meter and a Garmin HRM-Run connected to the Edge 830); no Galileo positioning issues either;

    my phone disconnected once but reconnect a few moments later

    Really ridiculous:

    you installed BETA software on a device which contains data you can’t afford to loose and of which you don’t have a backup?

    why didn’t you do a backup when you copied it?

  • 0 over 5 years ago

    Did a 3:41h ride yesterday, no issues with the sensors disconnecting (although I did reconnect my Assioma as Ant+ prior to the ride). Sadly I forgot to use Galileo to test that one out as well.

    I'm also really shocked by the battery consumption, for almost 4 hours of riding, with spd/hr/power sensors, following a course, it only used 12% of battery. Coming from a 520 this is pretty crazy.
