Encountered this for the first time over the weekend. Edge 840 Solar running 31,33

Battery level stuck at 100% for whole day SW 31.29

AdKo — Mon, 25 May 2026 12:23:01 GMT

I'm using now SW 31.29 on my Edge 840

On Saturday, after charging to 100% a went for a long (whole day) ride. At some point in the middle of the day I realised that battery level gadget is stuck at 100% for whole day.

Starting, stopping, pausing activity, pushing device to sleep didn't help. It was still 100%.

Rebooting device helped. Battery indicator after reboot was showing 34% and was decreasing over next hours of device usage. It means that real battery charge was decreasing during the day, but indicator gadget was initially stuck at 100%.

And on today's ride I started with 89% battery and finished with 100%. Almost as if my Edge had converted itself to an 840 solar! ☀

Thanks crispgarmin, that's great news that it's fixed again in Beta 31.62! 🙌

Do you have any idea when 31.62 will roll out as a public/stable release? I know you mentioned there's no known release date, but I'm hoping Garmin can confirm a timeline given this regression has been affecting the 840 (and 540) for months now.

The biking season is almost over — will we actually get a fix released this year? It would be a shame to miss the remaining rides still dealing with this bug.

Garmin - KS — any chance you could share an estimated public release date for 31.62, or confirm the fix will be included in the next stable rollout before the end of the year?

Thanks again for testing and confirming the fix.

RE: Radar icon position

I've suggested this To Garmin "ideas" a few times.
It just doesn't seem like a priority.
even font size optimisation for their own data screens can be optimised considerably.

Radar icon position

7008695 — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 03:18:53 GMT

It would be nice if the position could be changed to other corners as well. Currently top right corner is blocking part of my data field. Since the actual vehicle lane can be moved to left, maybe icon position could be customized to any of the corner as well?

How do you "resume" a course?

4092378 — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 06:14:14 GMT

Pretty regularly, I'll be riding a course, and I'll touch something on my Garmin 840, and the Data screen I was on will disappear. After that, I can navigate to the Home screen, but I don't know how to get back to my Data screen.

On the Home screen, if I click on Navigate > Courses and I choose the course I am riding, the device will display a small image of the course, and at the bottom of the screen there will be a blue Stop button. It looks like the same screen I see when I start a course, but instead of the Ride button, I see a Stop button. Okay, so my 840 knows I am still riding the course, but how do I get back to my Data screen? I wish that in addition to the Stop button my 840 would also display a Resume button. It's really frustrating that I can't find any obvious way to Resume the course so that I can get back to my Data screen.

It's not intuitive but you click on the centre of the profile area.

Okay, I'll try that next time I have problems.

RE: How do you "resume" a course?

4092378 — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 08:43:56 GMT

No. When you are on the Home screen, I don't think it's possible to swipe right/left. I can swipe down, which then allows me to swipe right/left through some widgets.

As looigi says and as a further reminder / hint that the activity is still running the current activity duration displays on the home screen just below the profile name

RE: How do you "resume" a course?

looigi — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 14:02:53 GMT

If you're on the home screen that shows the Activity Profile at the top of the screen, tap the profile. That will bring you back to your activity screens. If you started navigating a course and recording the activity, that continues in the background irrespective of what screen you're on, even if you're on the home screen.

You can't find your Data screen by swiping left/right?

RE: Daily Suggested Workouts not updating on the Edge unless powered off and back on

nebomemató — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 01:12:17 GMT

I just wanted to add myself to the list. Edge 840, as well.

Nothing short of forgetting the device from my phone, cycling Bluetooth on and off and restarting devices works. And that is not a guarantee.

The Connect app and my Fenix 8 are always in sync.

Anxiously anticipating the update.

Daily Suggested Workouts not updating on the Edge unless powered off and back on

lytleric — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 17:54:50 GMT

The Daily Suggested Workouts on my Edge 840 do not update each day, even after syncing with my phone. If I completely power it off and back on, only then will it update.

Here's an example. This was the DSW yesterday when I turned on my 840:

I immediately shut it off (fully powering it down), and then back on. It then showed this:

Why does it not automatically update each day? It knows the date and time. Do I need to completely power it down every single day to get the correct DSW?

Interestingly, my FR265 watch DOES update correctly each day, without powering down. Here was the DSW on my FR265:

No known release date, but I can confirm I tested it and fixed again in Beta 31.62 that came out last week. Better late than never!

I'm having the same issue since months. tapping the battery icon in the pull-down menu does not change it or show any other percentage. The only thing I can do is restart.

RE: Course Completed Message

Ian_Jackson_ — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:53:49 GMT

Hi, this is a different issue to trimming activities on Strava. This was a short ride to a race sign on which I did as a course to find my way there. I then did a 45 minute warm up as part of the same activity and then saved it just before the race. However it’s saved only the portion from the car to the sign on, losing the warm up. Would like to switch off this Garmin feature but didn’t know how or if it can be.

Course Completed Message

Ian_Jackson_ — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 19:17:20 GMT

After riding a course, when the stop/start button is pressed, a message is displayed saying course completed and it gives you the option to save only the course element of the activity and not the whole activity. I usually skip this however I mistakenly saved it and now I've 'lost' about 45 minutes activity which I did after the course was completed.

Is there away to recover it - so it's saved soewhere in a Fit File?

How can I turn off this feature so it doesn't happen again?

RE: Course Completed Message

Luko79 — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 17:01:52 GMT

yeah but you can do it on GC (or later on Strava or whenever you want). the main problem is the lack of undo option if you accidentally pressed the "trim to end of course ", it should be hidden (as a hidden lap or similar) but the data must be stored in the file for an undo option imho..

RE: Course Completed Message

Luko79 — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 16:59:30 GMT

navigation -> courses -> 3 dots on the top right corner -> suggested finish toggle button OFF

RE: Course Completed Message

druidh — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 16:19:09 GMT

Trim is often used by folk who leave the activity recording, jump in their car, and drive.

RE: Course Completed Message

Ian_Jackson_ — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 16:10:29 GMT

Ok thanks for looking at the file. Do you know how to switch off this feature?

RE: Course Completed Message

Luko79 — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 15:58:15 GMT

hi, yes . i got it, i have sad news, with this course endpoint trim thing the device deleted every records between the end of the course and the actual endpoint. so in your case only the 1st 45mins / 7.5km is in the file,

there is a command after 45m (started 07:33 by gnss time):

and i see that you rode another ~50mins apprx but there are no gnss /hr/pwr or any important data in the file. better to switch off completely this course trim feature, i think it causes more problem than it can help (honestly i dont understand why they implement in it... nobody needs it i think, at least without "undo" feature it is a harmful thing...)
