Cadence is halved during a run since 6.10

Since updating to 6.10 on Friday anytime during a running activity, my watch seems to be halved for cadence IE it should be 170 but instead says 65. I went back to using my Vivoactive 3 since its hard to run with it that wrong, but my wife has a 4s and had the same issue this morning after she updated yesterday ( worked fine on older software on Saturday, updated a day early ). When she finished her activity (cadence isnt as important to her), she noticed it was fine in the app.

I did some googling and i plugged it into my PC, made sure everything was even more up to date, reset and wiped all settings on it ( which was fun itself, thought i bricked it ) and reset it up from scratch except it looks like the software didnt reset to an older version. Anyone have the same issue or have anyway to roll back the software version to 5.80 where it seemed to work?

Same here. VA4 - and after SW 6.20 - half cadence.

Hello. After the update I have a problem with the cadence during running activity.

The cadence of the steps is totally wrong (60-80 when I run).

Same problem when I use data field "GRun", "Peter's (Race) Pacer", "RunningDF4 1"...

Somebody else?

(I also have battery problems, freezing, cownt down with Garmin coach)

I've got the same problem! Hope Garmin fixes this soon.

Garmin-Amber Garmin-Zac Could one of you inform us if this will be adjusted in a future update or if it stays the way it is and it's up to the developer of the datafield to update their app?

The problem with the cadence is not solved after the version 6.30.

Any issues with CIQ data fields, watch faces and/or apps will need to be handled by contacting the developer.

As I understand the problem, this data field used to work for all of the developers until recently. That is when it started reading only half of the normal value. Everybody was wondering if Garmin was going to change it back. If all of the developers adjusted their apps, and then Garmin fixed this, then all of the apps would read DOUBLE the expected value.

Can you clarify this statement please Garmin-Kevin? Because as mentioned by ibrubeer, this issue has already been proven not to be limited to a specific CIQ Data field. So what are the developers supposed to do about it?
