Breathwork Change Technique Back Button Bug?

over 1 year ago

Hello everyone

I recently bought a Forerunner 255 Music (after using the Forerunner 35 for a couple of years) and am very happy with this device. A couple of days ago the device received the v16.19 software update, which was successfully installed.

Today I checked out the "Breathwork" activity. When I selected "Change Technique", the Back button immediately stopped working. Being stuck in this selection list, I then selected a technique, started, stopped and discarded the workout (during all these steps, the Back button did not work at all, although I tried it several times). Then I started a Run activity and was at least able to manually start new laps by pushing the Back button. But also here I then stopped and discarded the workout and the Back button did again not work anywhere.

After that I powered the device off and on again and the Back button worked perfectly. Then I went into the "Change Technique" menu of the "Breathwork" activity and the Back button again immediately stopped working.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?

Thanks and regards,

Sebastian

    Just tried it, and everything worked as expected for me. Changed the breathing technique a few times, and I had no issues with the back button

    Thanks for your answer and effort. That's correct, I'm also able to select a breathing technique. But does your Back button also work when you try to navigate back from the breathing technique list without selecting a technique?

    As I said, the back button worked without issue :)

    I actually noticed that I forgot an important detail to reproduce the bug:

    The „Change Technique“ list has to be accessed via long pressing the back button on „Breathwork“ in the activities list. Not when the „Breathwork“ activity is already selected. 

    So the full list of steps to reproduce it would be:

    1. Press „Start“ to open the list of activities
    2. Point to „Breathwork“ (but don’t select it)
    3. Long press the Up button to get into the activity‘s settings
    4. Select „Breathing Technique“
    5. Select „Change Technique“
    6. Press the Back button

     This should reproduce the bug I’m having.

    I can confirm this bug on a FR955 with FirmWare 16.17 Back button stopped working. I did a _long_, _long_ press of the Light button to initiate a hard reset watch shutdown after this malfunction because I didn't want to risk the watch being in a 'buggy' state.

    Ok, the back button stops working if I follow these exact steps. Bug confirmed ;)
    Firmware 16.19

    I am having same issue on Forerunner 965 with the software version 18.12

    The only way how to move from there is to restart the device.
