Bug with Backlight

Good morning

Garmin Forerunner 55, firmware: v8.02, GPS: v4.13, CIQ: v3.4.2, WHR: v5.02.00, ANT/BLE : v2.01, Sensor Hub: v24.13, Time Zone Map: v34.00, Polish language: v2.70

1. The watch on firmware v8.02 turns on by itself when the watch is turned off (randomly). Tried since v5.07 - still not fixed.

2. When moving on the "widgets" screens when hovering over the "heart rate" screen for 1 sec. lights up (watch set" buttons off" "wrist pulse OFF")

3. When swiping on the "widgets" screens, when hovering over "heart rate" the screen will light up (watch set" buttons off" "wrist heart rate ON")

I wrote a report to Garmin, but it ended up that Garmin wanted to exchange my watch for another one. Garmin strongly does not want to repair the software of watches, but plays in replacing watches.

Same problem. I tried a complete factory reset, but that did not resolve the issue.

I also did a hard reset, it did not help. Garmin support unsubscribed as standard: wait for the firmware update. but will it?

Firmware: v8.02, still the same error. Garmin has done nothing about it.
