Varia Vision (v3.50) Bricked Again Mid-ride by the 1030 (v3.60)

This is the third time I've had this happen. The 1030 goes into sleep mode, and after it wakes up, the Varia Vision is bricked. No data displays. I've tried restarting the 1030, restarting the Vision, removing and re-adding the sensor. Nothing. Vision shows all zero data. The Vision then works again on the next ride. But, it's basically at the point where I think that the 1030 doesn't support the Vision, even on the latest firmware. How did production hardware get released that doesn't even support Garmin's own devices? I rode 80 of 120 miles with a non-working Varia Vision.
  • Had this happen again yesterday. Manually paused the ride. Edge 1030 woke up from sleep. Vision couldn't reconnect. I think the Garmin people are looking at this.
  • Hmm… For me 3.60 fixed the Varia Vision freeze / lock-up / stall (whatever you want to call it… the display stops updating).

    Navigating a route still leads to frequent crashes.

    Hopefully in a few days I’ll get 3.70 to see if it helps, but in the post announcing it, the only fixed bug listed is Connect IQ line drawing.
  • 3.70 doesn't help. Vision still won't reconnect after the Edge 1030 goes into sleep mode.
  • Weird…

    Sorry for the delay. I’ve had several rides since 3.70 was delivered to my unit and have had no problems at all with my Varia Vision.

    Perhaps one of the most perplexing things about Garmin’s firmware is how variable are the manifestations of its defects…

    Apologies for not posting this sooner, but I only just came across this thread while researching another problem.

    I've seen this behavior after my 1030 awakens from "Sleep" mode. The Varia Vision is connected but not displaying data. Every time, data connectivity is restored if I select "Power Off" and then repower the 1030.

    After the latest firmware update (3.90) however, I cannot configure the display screens at all. For example, if I select "Speed" through Sensors>Varia Vision>Data Screens, the matrix changes from 4 to 3 fields and "Dist to Go" is displayed on the 1030 and the Varia Vision. For some other data, the 1030 and Varia Vision will show different labels for the field.
  • We have reported issues with the Varia Vison and 1030 not displaying the correct screens. I will post an update once we have a solution.
  • 4.00 Bricks the Vision again... 3.90 worked.

    I also have a 1030 with a Varia Vision. The Varia is at Ver 3.5. This version is the only one I see in Garmin Connect. I have the same data display problem. I do get GPS trail/road warnings like "Sharp Curve...." But no data displays. This is the second time this has happened. It happens when the unit goes to "sleep". It seems to fix itself when I get home and recharge both units. I will see if it is related to the sleep mode
  • It’s still happening for me with 5.00 as well.
