Multiplied display during activity on Forerunner 165 Music

I have problem with display during activity. If I start any activity, after some while the display is multiplied. It works, the activity can be saved. It occurs only during activity. I have all actual updates, I tried to turn on/turn off. I also updated it via Garmin Express. But it still happens. Please, do you have any experience with this? Thank you.

All,

This has been fixed in our Hotfix, software version 22.26. If you are still experiencing the issue on 22.26, please begin a new thread.

Thank you for your patience as we investigated this disruption…

I have opened up a support ticket with Garmin. Of Course that won't do much good during the weekend, but hopefully this will draw some attention to this issue on monday.

Maybe some of you can open…

same here, since update 22.24. Unacceptable that they force this update into the watch without proper testing. Shows poor respect for customers

Same problem here, noticed it yesterday (13-3) for the first. Hoped it would be a software thing and not my watch itself. Thought so since i updated it that morning. Hope they're going to fix it fast because…

I went for a run recently and didn't have the issue. I wonder if there's a specific set of conditions that triggers this. Mine was just a normal run, not suggested workout and about 32 minutes.

What activity did you do and for how long? At what point did it happen? If it was a run, was it a suggested workout or something similar? Do you have AOD enabled during activity? Maybe if we can narrow things down it will help the devs to fix it.

It has only happened to me once but that time I used a 'heavy' analog watchface and did a run I had set up in Connect earlier and that had a timer that counted down. When the timer hit zero the screen glitched instead of getting a notification about the lap. Stopped the watch and did a regular run, without problems. I thought it might be linked to the watchface but i did the same workout with the same watchface right after that run. Noting happened...

Afaik watchfaces are inactive during activities. I might try setting up a run with a timer to see if it happens to mine.

I set up a run workout in Connect. One of the steps was a timer. I didn't notice this graphical glitch. Kinda feel for the devs, seems like it could be difficult to pinpoint.

I had a different issue though. The last step was cool down until lap button press and the button didn't want to respond. I had to end it the normal way by pausing and saving the activity. I think it might be a bug, because the lap button works fine now after the workout.
