Edge 840 charging query

Hi, new here!

Firstly, I've seen a few different discussions around this through google searches, but yet to see an answer, so apologies for any duplication here.

I recently upgraded from the Edge 530 to the Edge 840. 

To charge my 530, I'd power all the way down and then plug in. It would bring up the charging screen, but not fully power up. It would stay on this screen and emit a beep once fully charged. I'd then remove power and it would stay in the off state.

If I power my 840, all the way down, and then plug it in, the unit fully powers up, sync's all my sensors, and then continues to charge while powered on. The problem is it then goes to sleep, and I'm not able to see the charge status, or if indeed it's charging, so I can't plug it and leave it, confidently knowing if it will be ready when I need to use it.

Doesn't seem right, so I'm looking to check here what is likely to happen.

Thanks

  • No need to bother to report as bug.

    The 2 most basic problems of 840 series since launch.

    This is 1 of it

    And the other is the backlight. Even the older 830 remembers the previous backlight brightness settings even in auto mode.

    My 840 always defaults to dimmest in Auto when you switch on. Its impossible to read anything in the brightness.

    And when you try to drag to it brighter, it almost always swipe to the other widgets page.

    I truly regret "upgrading" to 840 from my trusty 830.
