Firmware 5.0 First Ride Impressions

Since 4.0 came out I had nothing but problems. I had strange resets for no reason, Strava Segments crashed the Garmin, I would lose connection to my power meters and had random warnings for non-existent turns. The beta firmwares, along with gimping functionality by disconnecting it from my phone, fixed it mostly. Today I installed 5.0 and went out on a ride with it connected to my phone and with Strava Segments turned on. Everything was perfect! No crashed, no issues with Strava Segments and not a single freeze or lost signal on my power meter. Seems like 5.0 fixed everything for me so far.

    The wide variations in people's experiences scares me. Maybe there are also hardware issues with these devices.

    I've strangely found two BT connections on my S8+ recently. I certainly never paired two on GCM re-install. BT seems more stable so far. Texts working, live track works (but only with one contact and not on a planned Strava route)

    A little hick-up on todays 125km ride or more precisely after the ride.
    Know auto upload today. Hade to manually start that process.
  • Everything worked for me on a 10-mile ride yesterday. Livetrack auto-started, texts worked (receive and send tested after turning on device), navigating a course stored on 1030 that was created in GC, ride auto-uploaded to GC and Strava at the finish. I am using 5.0 and I am paired during the ride with Samsung S7E that was just upgraded to Oreo 8.0 (Verizon). I do turn off wifi on my phone while I ride and I never enable wifi on 1030. Early on this seemed helpful and now I do it out of habit. Sensors connected quickly (Garmin cadence, speed and HR).

    No complaints here.

    Another successful ride completed. This time 125km. Everything worked perfect. Connection to phone, HR- & CAD-sensors. Di2!.
    When I turned out from my home driveway I lost connection to the phone. I thought what the fu#k. Then I realized that my phone was nor in my back pocket it was still on the table at home. :o So I turned around and back on the driveway it connected to the phone again!.
  • Loppan,

    Did the Edge Remote work as well?

    Loppan,

    Don't have that and don't need it. I remote my Edge via my Di2 levers.
  • Lucky guy! The perfect setup.

    Anyone else try the Edge Remote with firmware 5.00?

    Does not work if phone connected!
  • Have been unable to reproduce the remote issue that you are seeing. I'm using an iPhone 6. What phone are you using?
