2.70 restarts after some notifications

Updated yesterday via USB and garmin express and since then, it is randomly restarting after some notifications, already happened 4 times since last night. Anyone else? 

  • Understood, but that defeats the entire purpose of a "smart watch".  If I wanted to just track my steps and tell the time, I'd go to Walmart and spend $6 and walk out with a cheapo digital watch and pedometer that you wear on your waistband.

    2) iOS

    3) no idea, seems restarting spontanuous without eny notification

    4) yes

  • The real fix for now is to roll back to 2.60 firmware. That completely fixes the issue and you're not missing anything from the 2.70 update. 

    I rolled back about a week ago (maybe a little more) and I've yet to have a reboot since. 

    Download the 2.66 beta file here https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=14935

    Follow the steps at the bottom of the page (particularly #5). The 2.60 firmware can be found in the zip folder as GUPDATE-260.GCD. Make sure to rename it to GUPDATE.GCD before disconnecting your watch from the PC or Mac. As soon as you disconnect, you'll see the update screen on the watch. 

  • Today I had three crashes. And I can offer one new insight.

    The first crash went unnoticed at 9:14.

    The second one happened at 13:06 after about 5 emails coming in through the native iOS mail program. There is a huge amount of data missing - no steps and heart rate between about 9:00 and 13:00.

    I didn't notice the third crash but I guess it happened at 18:31 since that's the time stamp of ERR_LOG.BAK (pasted below). Shortly before I had receives about 5 Signal messages (text and one image). 

    Now, what's interesting: Data between 17:02 and 18:34 is missing from Garmin connect. However, I can still see it on the "last 4 hours" screen on the HR widget (current time as of writing is 19:55).

    Which means: The data is NOT really lost. But it's not synced over to Garmin Connect. Why is this?

    And are these error logs helpful?

  • Greetings fellow frustrated 245 owners.  As a former 235 owner, IIRC something similar happened with it as well, e.g., 

    https://www.facebook.com/Garmin/posts/i-have-a-garmin-forerunner-235-twice-in-the-last-few-days-it-has-restarted-itsel/10154008181775706/

    Definitely a hassle to see large chunks of your timeline disappear.  OTOH I have faith in the Garmin firmware team and I'm confident they'll figure it out.  Let's all try to stay chill and be as kind/helpful to our community service rep as possible.  Remember they have to go home, make dinner, feed their dogs, get some sleep, and go to work the next day like the rest of us.  

    FWIW I have the Pixel 2 (like several others here!) and am also experiencing the random reboots on my shiny new 245.  Thanks for the tip for firmware downgrading.  It's good to know we have a fix of sorts if we have to go that route.

    -Matt

  • Pretty poor, this. Got my FR245 yesterday. It updated overnight then multiple crashes this morning. I have removed the 3rd party watch face to see if that helps. I'm not faffing around rolling it back. This shouldn't be something we even have to think about doing. 3 weeks without a fix is way too long. I'm not sure Garmin are taking this seriously.

  • We have released a beta to address this issue which can be found here. We will be closing this thread and monitoring feedback in the sticky post linked. 

    The changes in the above linked beta will be rolled out to everyone very soon provided we find no other issues or causes for concern. Again, I cannot apologize to everyone enough for this issue and thank you all for your patience while we researched and worked on a permanent solution.
