Software Version 5.50 - Forerunner 945 - Live

Garmin-Brooks
over 4 years ago

Update can be downloaded through Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile.

Clarification: For those of you who received 5.40 this update only includes the following:

- Addressed an issue that caused VO2 Max update and Training Status to not update

If you have not yet received Version 5.40, then the update will include the above, as well as everything that was previously in 5.40 which I have included below. 

- Fixed an issue that caused CIQ watch faces to display 0 calories.
- Added improvements to prevent dropped phone connection.
- Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
- Fix an iOS reconnection issue on some phones.

    Hi, 

    After updating to 5.50 version, in open water swimming i stop the tracker and the FR945 is restart. Also the Sleep monitor does not tracker, after update.

    I am wondering why Garmin doesn't save watch settings and record data in the server ?

    Yep, and I've wondered why don't they have any upgrade wizard, getting the settings from the old watch to new watch. It's pain to configure the screens etc.

    But at least Garmin Express should have some "backup/restore settings", to copy those files based on model and restoring them...

    Still not working properly.  I had no issues with 5.09 and earlier.  5.15 to 5.5 have all had issues.   5.5 seems to be the "best" of the "doesn't work" releases.  I made it through one run with no issues.  The second run lasted had trouble connecting initially, but then worked for about 30 minutes with no disconnections.

    That's weird. I keep trying my Vistas every time someone complains here, and happily, no issues.
    A long time ago, I had some cuts during running activities, but it goes away after some software update.
    Recently I couldn't observe any issues.

    I suspect it might have to do with both the new firmware and HRM-TRI. I noticed a firmware upgrade for my HRM-TRI (4.30) after I updated both the FR to 5.50. Now I have done multiple runs without it dropping the connection.

    Although I'm still at the version 5.0 I came to notice that this version was having problem recording respiration rate correctly. The difference in recorded respiratory rate data between version prior 5.0 and the 5.0 is as much as 5 to about 8 counts. This could mean serious serious problem as a rate of 12 and rate of 20 could mean a person at rest sitting on a couch and a person in the middle of a workout. Please please please rectify. Thank you

    Yay APAC just gotten the version 5.5.

    I already received the version 5.50 update in Hong Kong. However, I am very angry with that. First, compare with the international version Forerunner 945. APAC version directly update from 5.00 to 5.50, but during this period, international updated several times from 5.00, 5.20, 5.40, and 5.50. Is Garmin feel the Asia people( include Hong Kong people) is fool ? Second, I compare the update history of international version and APAC version. From 5.00 to 5.50, APAC's updates or improvement is less than international version's 5.50 (a very large amount).

    Why?
