FR945 Crash/restart when saving activity

MrPants
over 5 years ago

Yesterday I participated in a relay trail race and for leg 2 of 3 my forerunner crashed when trying to save the activity and restarted.  After restart the activity was not available on the watch. I have connected the watch to my laptop and there is not a FIT file on the watch.  I was looking in GARMIN > Activity for the file.  My other legs of the race are saved in that folder, so I think I'm looking in the right place.

Anything else I can do to retreive my missing race data?  And how do I prevent this from happening again in the future?

    Hi All,

    yeah sure, completely wiped device after hard reset (3 buttons procedure: POWER + START + BACK) and all the time crash/restart during start of RUN activity but on high altitude. On my normal altitude about 250m above sea level everything works correct.

    I have 0 CIQ apps on my 945. No music or watch faces. Happens as soon as I go to high altitudes and try to save an activity.

    I am at sea level right now and I'm attaching a video recreating the issue. It is simply a problem of the altitude on the watch being above a certain number. Praying Garmin can fix it before my race next week in high altitude.

    We are asking about several variables that can take place on users' devices. Asking for that information was not a confirmation that CIQ has caused any issues, but rather, us trying to eliminate any recent changes. 

    Several uses have mentioned altitude being a factor for them but we have been unable to reproduce this with the consistency that some users can.

    Has Garmin try reaching out to @rdfiorentino613 for their files?  Since the video displays the issue, I would think Garmin would want to view the files to find the cause and correct it.

    Hey Phil.  Since you have a "vanilla" 945, would you be willing to do @rdfiorentino613's test performed in the video and let us know the results?

    For the record, I don't have any CIQ apps installed.

    I'm happy to help if they need anything.

    Had this for the first time today. Did a run, a sea level, pressed save and it hung on "saving". Rebooted and it synced to garmin connect but the watch face does not include in weeks totals and shows 0 miles today in the widget. But history shows the run.
