  • 5.31 broke the Bluetooth connection. with 5.28 for the first time ever since owning the 830 I was at 100% automatic Bluetooth connection. 

  • - What part of the 'Bluetooth Connection' was/is broken? Were you able to get the Bluetooth connection to work correctly with your mobile phone?

  • Hi Matthew, I have had massive issues in the past with my 830 automatically connecting to my phone (Samsung s8+) having to open GCM to get it to connect. Since 5.24 the 830 has automatically connected to my phone 100% of the time. I uploaded 5.31 and my connection is horrible. I unpaired and then re-paired from zero. After the initial pairing once I turned the 830 off it would not find the phone again. loaded 5.10 and had to start the 830 from zero (frustrated as it erased my activity profiles )

  • Hoped this beta would have fixed the drop outs in power graph but this is unfortunately not the case.
    Edge 830 was connected to Wahoo KICKR Core. Cadence, which is also coming from KICKR Core, does not show any of these dropouts.
