Is it just me, or gesture backlight during activity is not working unless backlight not during activity is also "on"?

WHR during all-day tracking is still useless (especially when cycling) with 3.08. Pretty disappointing. See: wrist-ohr-accuracy-when-not-recording-activity for more info.

RD Pod does not work. It connects to the watch in the sensor setting but does not connect during running activity.

Does anyone have this problem?

0 LUISROMERAL over 5 years ago in reply to Sucha

Me. It connects but no data is shown and the icon is blinking all the time at the start of an activity. I had to downgrade to 2.80.

No problem with Stryd

Thank you for the replay. I will try it a few more runs and let you know.

Thank you!

Internally, they may be handled differently. It is great that Stryd works well.

My battery with 3.08 is dying like crazy. Approx. 4 to 6 TIMES increase in battery consumption with the same settings from 2.80, i did send a usage.log to [email protected].

Anyone else experienced those major battery issues?

It is not just you. For me the same. And if you have different brightness for activity (in my case 5 non activity, 20 during activity) then this does not work neither. I tried to reinstall 3.08 and restart watch few times and the bug remains...
