My Forerunner 255 updated on its own despite the ''auto update'' function being off!
I've had it for about two years and it had never updated before. The other day, I put it to charge and when I took it back, it turned off on its own, then turned back on with a gear icon on the screen, and proceeded to update itself.
One week later, the exact same happened to my wife FR 255, who also had that function off.
I am very pissed as it is very bad now!
- The battery lasts about half of what it used to.
- there's that new function called Naps, but it tracks naps very badly and says I'm sleeping when I'm just sitting watching TV, video games, etc.
- sleep tracking is way worse than before : I manually put it in sleep mode at 9.30pm yesterday and this morning it says I went to bed at midnight... Doesn't track when I wake up either, unlike it used to do before.
- some insight are bonkers. Yesterday, after doing a 34-km walk, it told me ''you still have plenty of body battery left for the rest of your day'', even though my body battery was 16.
- the ''controls'' screen looks bad, now when you have mode icons that the circular screen can show at once, it removes TWO spots, one that is replaced by 2 slash bars '' // '' and one that is just a gap between the first one and the last one of the circle. It used to be so much more harmonious, with just a bar and a ''+x'', x being the number of icons that are not shown.
The only thing I like about that firmware version is the new way to input reps and weights while doing a strength activity.
Given how messed up it is, we need to revert back to the firmware it had before, which was 16.xx
Please, tell me there's a way to do it.
Thanks heaps!
