Apparently this has not been fixed. Bought a 1030 to replace an 800 2 weeks ago. The heart rate monitor and cadence will not connect. New batteries did not help.
I'm the original poster. The 1030 that was having sensor connection problems was faulty and Garmin replaced it. The replacement is working fine with no sensor problems. My 1030 also continues to work fine. Since yours is only two weeks old, I suggest returning it for another one. Also make sure you follow the Garmin instructions for pairing. I've seen several where the wrong option was selected for the cadence.
Hi everyone, cannot have the speed sensor working on my 1030, changed the battery twice. Cannot pair the speed sensor even following the procedures, Ant+ cannot see the sensor and when trying Bluetooth, it sees cadence/speed as one sensor but the speed meter does not work. I would think it is a firmware issue.
Is the LED flashing after you put the battery in https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/edge520/EN-US/GUID-716D268E-17F3-41BD-A93C-C5E6555584FD.html ? If not, check the battery contacts. It's very easy for the edge contact to move and no longer touch the battery (in which case it needs bending slightly towards the battery).
