Edge 840 red border with red arrival flag

Suddenly a red border can show up on my bike screens, accompanied by a red flag... Out of nowhere.  While this happens, navigation continues, but distance, time and all other values are no longer captured.  Reviewing the activity, a line is drawn from the popup timing to arrival that says 'hidden'.

What is this red border ?

How to avoid or deactivate?

Many thanks !

    It seems that you going into auto pause mode. Is the border really red? Look at the timer settings in your profile.

    Thanks for your reply !

    Auto-pause turns the whole screen grey with a pause sign laid over.

    Here, there is a red border along the whole screen with a red arrival flag on the right hand side. Remainder of the screen is normal.

    I cannot find any explanation in the user manual...

    The only way that I can make the "red border" screen appear (on my 1040) is by pressing the bottom-right START / STOP button while an activity is active (ie STARTED). It is possible to enable an auto-start but I don't know of any setting that does an auto-stop ? The 840 also has other buttons so maybe it is possible to arrive at the red-boarder screen via some combination of other buttons?

    The only way would be an accidently push of the timer button unless you have configured the button control options of a Di2 or compatible SRAM system to be start/stop. (or Edge Remote)

    Many thanks.

    I recall that during my ride, the unit powered of all by itself... What shouldn't happen even not when I hit a bump fairly hard.  Took a while to reboot.

    I may have hit the Start/Stop to get it going again... While it was already going.

    I hit this button a lot when performing HIIT and am crossing streets : no such red border screens.  I presume this coached workout is not seen as an 'activity'.

    Is all this in the manual somewhere?

    Thanks again.

    If the unit crashed and restarted then yes it would have stopped the activity upon the restart and given the red boarder.

    All sorted now.  I just need to press START again to get going.

    Does your unit crash at all ?

    Tx.

    Mine (1040 version 24.19) does not and never has crashed, frozen, re-booted, (bit over 2 years old), I install every beta so should be a sitting duck but I also use a minimum of the device features and certainly almost nothing that was new in 23.xx & 24.xx (some of which seems pretty buggy), minimising features (& almost no backlight except night) equals minimising processor load / memory usage and means I also get 90 hours plus from a charge, I do longer rides and reliability / predictability is more important to me, I am happy, just hope  I can kept it going for 10 years or so, if I can get a slightly larger location symbol on the map I will declare it perfect (for my type of riding).

    Good to read.

    You are managing your unit to a great extent. Impressive how you have prioritised matters.

    I agree that the navigation map could be better.

    I will update my unit today Smile
