After updating to the latest firmware (12.70), my activity voice alerts set up through the Activity profile in the Focus Modes stopped working. They were working on the previous version of the firmware. These are the alerts set up through the following path: Watch Settings > Focus Modes > Activity > Voice Alerts > Pace/Speed Alerts or Heart Rate Alert. I have these set up to 1 minute and 2 minute recurring intervals respectively.
Things I've tried without success to solve this:
- Turning the entire Focus Mode off and back on
- Turning the individual recurring alerts off and back on
- Turning Timer Events, Workout Alerts, Activity Alerts, off and back on
- Turning the watch itself off and back on
- Changing the Audio Output setting between Watch or Connected Devices
- Resetting the entire Focus Mode to "Defaults" and setting up again
- Setting up alternative activity type Focus Modes that are triggered specifically by the activities I'm doing (Run or Walk)
- Changing the Alert Tones setting off and back on
- Last ditch effort of restarting my phone
I should note that it seems there are some other alerts that are in fact working that are triggered by the Lap Alerts. It seems what's not working is triggered by the recurring timed alerts I have set up. Here's some screen shots of my current settings.
I'm not sure what else to try. But this seems like a new bug introduced in the latest firmware since it was working before and suddenly stopped after the update.
I depend on these alerts to aid in my running efficiency. So I need to get them working again.
