Crash/reboot: Bike Activity, paging past Map page using buttons

derek87
over 3 years ago
this was my first bike ride using my 955 solar. when i scrolled through pages of data (only have 4-5) and passed the map page with the intention to see the clock... the watch crashed and restarted itself.  when i rebooted, it brought up a resume option on the first page (speed, distance, total time).
i haven't had a problem having maps as a page of data on the run activity so not sure what happened here. i didn't dare go back to the map page as i didn't want to keep interrupting my ride dealing with reboot/crashing issues.

    it did it again to me. very frustrating. i tried it first before i even started the bike activity and it was fine showing the map, but when i went to scroll to look at the clock, i got a black map screen and then a reboot while on the bike.

    yeah i got this on bike and hike. Still waiting for stable firmware.

    Hmmm, i think i have also used map on ywo  bike rides before (just 30-40 minutes each) and that seemed to work fine.

    I'll see if i can reproduce this somehow. 

    Man, going to do the eiger51 in 1.5 weeks and I'm kinda started to get worried how this watch will behave. Had hoped for a way more stable watch after 1.5 months.

    i am using it as fr945... alot. And i don't have craahes on fr955 every time but sometimes. For now i dont trust fr955 as i was fr945. On bike i have edge 530 as backup and on hikes and runs, phone.

    luckily no crashes here so far (apart from the map related one where you can't choose a location on the map to navigate to) but especially considering it's a long event I am a bit scared...

    Was planning on just starting an activity with a full battery and let it run the day to see if that works ok, at least to build some trust ;)

    Ah well, we'll see

    I feel the same way. Going to start at ZUT in 1.5 weeks. Had actually hoped to get a more stable firmware until than.

    I've disabled maps on all my activity profiles and since then I have not had a single crash/reboot. In that time I've done a half ironman, a 200km road ride and some runs. Having no maps until now has been really annoying though and I will also need that functionality soon.

    unfortunately maps and touch are my main needed features so i am little concerned about firmware quality 

  • 0 over 3 years ago in reply to unixcrab

    I REALLY want to have the maps as a backup though, heh... They are likely not necessary for that particular activity but still, for peace of mind.

    And same as , maps and touch are my main reasons for the 955 and the fact that they have kinda messed exactly those up is quite disappointing. But yeah, if I really am afraid for a crash it might be the worst-case solution though, cheers.

    thanks for all the checks and commiseration. i honestly only need maps for my backpacking, but they are a nice "backup" while running and cycling so i am used to having those screens available (they worked fine on my 945LTE).

    i'm concerned about the stability of this with my backpacking trips coming up next month. i too am hoping for a more stable firmware to be coming soon. for now, i'll disable maps on cycling but i may do a "trial" hike because i really want to use maps backpacking and hiking.

    i have used maps using "navigate course" while running in different towns for vacation and it worked fine with the Run activity.
