Garmin-Brooks
over 4 years ago

Clarification: For those of you who received 5.40 this update only includes the following:

- Addressed an issue that caused VO2 Max update and Training Status to not update

If you have not yet received Version 5.40, then the update will include the above, as well as everything that was previously in 5.40 which I have included below. 

Update can be downloaded through Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile pending the rollout schedule.

- Fixed an issue that caused CIQ watch faces to display 0 calories.
- Added improvements to prevent dropped phone connection.
- Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
- Fix an iOS reconnection issue on some phones.

    Please check version 5.5. after this update my 245 battery is draining so fast. It doesn't last for a day. Settings are the same with my wife's 245 music.

    Guys, anyone else having issues with not receiving "off course" and "turn prompts" alerts when following a course using the 5.5 update? I checked under navigation settings from the run activity, both are set to on but I no longer receive them during a run. Am I missing a setting elsewhere, do I need software reset or is this a bug introduced with one of the recent updates?

    i have the same issue...battery drain is high. used to charge it every 6 days-1week, with 3-4 hours of run. now it's lower than 20% in 3 days.

    therefore i see no sign of hear rate in gamrin connect app: still showing the hr at the moment but no daily variation nor max or min Hear frequency.

    Any chance of an update that allows you to get WiFi and Spotify to actually work? Xmas gift from yesterday will go back as soon as we are out of tier 4 unless a fix happens soon.

    For me, it keeps crushing about 500 meters into a run. Goes to stock watchface, not the one I use, and I have to press the start button so it changes again to the normal running screens but if I miss, to look the activity just continues counting the time without GPS, 0km/h...

    I had working bluetooth headphones (taotronics purecore 79) and it hasnt worked since 5.5 (after it auto updated.. I think I was on either 5.4 or 5.3.2 beta...

    Can I downgrade to 5.4?

    note: it doesn't successfully pair. Even after removing/resetting/rebooting both headphones and watch.

    Updated my Forerunner 245 and the watch now has major issues connecting to GPS. Sat for nearly 20 mins waiting for it to connect before my run (normally takes 2-3 mins), then decided to just start my run and see what happened. It finally connected about 2 miles in, but when I got back home, my map showed my course in a city 10 miles west of where I actually ran, and in no way did the displayed course even remotely resemble the route I ran. Everything was working perfectly fine up until I decided to download this update.
