Bug report 14.13: Infinite loop when resuming activity after checking recovery heart rate

Hi 955 team,

Yesterday my 955 solar updated from software version 13.23 to 14.13. Today I went for a run and noticed what I think is a bug with the 14.13 version.
I've been playing around with it and can reliably reproduce it:

Actions taken:

  1. Start recording an activity (Bug appears for multiple activity types, reproduced it with "Run","Treadmill", and "Strength".).
  2. Pause the activity.
  3. Go to the "Recovery Heart Rate" option in the pause menu and open the RHR screen.
  4. Press back to go back to the main pause menu (you don't have to wait for the final RHR to be recorded).
  5. Click "Resume".

Expected outcome:

  • The red circle on the edge of the screen turns green
  • The green "play icon" is shown
  • The activity is resumed.

Actual outcome:

  • The red circle on the edge of the screen stays red
  • The green "play icon" is shown
  • The activity seems to resume but is the screen still shows the pausing menu.
  • This behavior keeps repeating every time you hit resume, although in the background the activity seems to be alternating between paused/resumed state as you would expect.

Workaround methods (might be more)
1. Use the "Resume Later" option, go to the default watch screen, then go back to the activity, and use "Resume" again.
2. (As per comment of FlipStone) After step 5, hold the "Up" button until the menu appears. Now press back button to go back to the activity. The pause screen and red circle should be gone.

Additional observations:
If you hit either the "Save" or "Discard" option to finish the activity recording, the screen will remain on the "Saving" or "Discarding" screen indefinitely. This only happens when you've hit "Resume" an even number of times after step 5. It seems that the activity is resuming on the background when you hit step 5 of the reproduction steps, however the pause screen is shown somehow.

You can get out of this in two ways:
1. Reboot the watch, after which the activity is loaded again automatically and you can use "Save" and "Discard" options as expected.
2. (As per comment of FlipStone) Hold the "up" button, hit "change sport", choose another sport. After this you can again use the "Save" or "Discard" option.

Hopefully you can reproduce and solve it in the next version.

Thanks!

Marcel

  • I'm having the same problem.

    1.yes you can email me

    2. Yes you can take a look at my Garmin connect account

    3. I live in the USA

    Thanks!

    The bug appears when doing a "TODAY'S SUGGESTION' or just a regular run when I PAUSE for a traffic signal; toilet stop; etc. then it goes into a LOOP.

  • Not sure if that's the case, can't imagine to be honest but who knows. I did only get it once in my last long run while having to pause about 5 times (and I do believe it was the first time).

    When doing the 'resting heart rate' trick to reproduce it does happen again consistently even after the workaround but that is a bit of a different situation.

    I'm at least glad I now understand the issue and (seem to) know how to get out of it, otherwise I wouldn't dare to pause it anymore at all!

  • Coros Apex Pro 2, you are looking better and better all the time... 

    Guess I'll have to dig my old 935 out again just like I did during my short (frustrating) time with the 945LTE model...

  • Same for me. The watch is more or less useless during activities now.

  • I had some success with my run yesterday using the workaround, i.e. holding down the left-center button ("up") when my watch enters the crazy pause/resume loop. (Though still painful!)

  • Garmin is pushing a 14.15 update where this bug SEEMS to be addressed...

    Unfortunately the other one (not being able to navigate to saved locations) is NOT addressed and still in there, sigh...

  • Same issue here!

    1. May we, if necessary, have permission to email you? Yes
    2. May we, if necessary, have permission to view/access your Garmin Connect account? Yes

  • I updated to 14.15 and went on a run. This time the run auto-paused when I stopped at a stop light, and it resumed fine as soon as I started running. Looks like that stuck-at-pause issue is fixed! Thumbsup

  • Sensational! To be fair that was a reasonalbly quick fix from them. That said, ideally bugs like that don't get introduced in the first instance. Thanks Garmin
