Forerunner 255 19.18 voice notifications not working

Hi,

I own a 255 (not music) since a month ago and i'm very satisfied with it (coming from a 245).

I liked also the audio notifications every lap while using bt earphones (connected to my mobile, of course), but since last update it's not working anymore.

I realised that update changed some configurations and i had to set up again, but i couldn't make it sound again.

Something i realised too is that menu for choosing voice language has dissapeared so i guess it may be the root of the problem.

I had my watch configured in spanish and the woman spanish voice, now i can't change any setting for voices (just on/off) but it doesn't tell me anything at all.

I haven't found the voice languange settings neither on watch or mobile app (android, last update)

Does anyone have similar problems or know how to fix it?

It seems like some menu items have gone missing on the non music version. They are still there on the 255 Music.

Same for me and now i only listen voice notifications in english. My phone is all in spanish and my watch too. But voices are in English.

At least you have it in english, i don't have any at all and i can't change anything.

I had it in spanish and working perfect with previous firmware, but i don't know if it's fw or gcm related, as the audio comes from mobile, obviously as mine is the not-music version.

All options to change language or speaker (male/female) are gone on gcm and watch.

Same issue here. Dialect settings are gone. Basic 255 not music. It is frustrating because I get voice alerts in some weird language I don't know. Any fix to this?

Now voice has changed from female to male without touching anything.

It stills in spanish, but i cannot change anything.

All configutations options have gone (in gcm and on watch)
