turn off auto save feature

Former Member over 5 years ago

How do I disable the auto save feature for activities?

I would also really appreciate to be able to disable the auto save. It’s really annoying to need to dismiss it repeatedly. And I would like to pause the tracking while I am sitting somewhere but know that…

Bump for this. That or a way to pause your ride for a longer period of time. I like to ride my bike to stores, and I don't need to track fitness time when I'm just in there shopping.

Can you put it as option to settings in future firmware update? Sorry, but this is really stupid feature, I have to say user unfriendly!

Please include an adjustable timer or an option to turn it off! The only thing that bugs me about my Venu. If I'm taking a lunch break I don't want to have to worry about checking my watch in case it auto saves... I want to record the whole activity so it shows up on Strava as one tour

This autosave function is completely pointless. Please change it immediately!

After a year or more, we can bet on it NEVER being changed.

I still use my VS4 for indoor walking because the VA4 WALK INDOOR activity dores not work correctly and that will probably never be changed also.

Agreed, it's highly annoying when you pause and your workout autosaves halfway through.

I agree the inability to turn off the autosave feature is really annoying, particularly when you are recording your activities on Strava. Separate activities are most inconvenient.

Still not resolved? agree is very annoying as it ruins long rides with a stop for cake!!

You are sooo right. I prefer Hundeschnitzl, but to each his own!

Is there a solution by now? Just bought a vivoactive4 and hate having my activities automatically saved in the middle…
