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

  • Appears fixed to me. Thank you!

  • I had the same issue happen with me I just bought the 955 a few days ago and went out for a mountain bike ride and had it set for auto pause once it paused the first time it would never resume. I went out again today and I had turned off auto pause and I hit pause when I stopped to talk to someone and then when I tried to resume it kept just going back into the pause menu.

  • Do you know how one gets access to 14.15? Is it just a slow rollout, and we have to wait? This bug is very annoying! Right now I have the yellow "pause" ring showing on my watch, and I'm not even in an activity! (I strongly suspect the same bug. I have seen several different manifestations, including the one described in this thread. All involve the watch being in the yellow "paused" state when it shouldn't be.)

    (For the record: Garmin employees are welcome to look at my account, or email me, related to this issue. I am in the USA. Hopefully it's already resolved with 14.15 and that won't be needed!)

  • All,

    We have released a fix in the latest software release that should resolve the report for most users experiencing these symptoms.  The software release should continue rolling out to all users in the coming days.  If you are still experiencing symptoms like the original report here, please start a new thread.

  • Thank you Kevin and team.
