Edge 1030 speeds drops to zero during activity and stops recording

This week I had two rides where suddenly the speed drops to zero. In both cases I think it's after an autopause that it doesn't start again. I can see myself moving on the map, but the speed stays at zero and the distance stays the same off course. I never had this problem before. Last week I did the update to version 9.50. Is it possible that this is a bug in this version ? Anybody with same problem ?

    what speedsensor do you use?

    None, I just use the GPS and never used a sensor in past years and never had a problem. Since the update twice in a week ...

    OK this is weird.  Thought it was my configuration and hadn't tracked it down just yet..  I've got a Cateye ANT+ speed sensor, and thought that was the problem (ala alignment, battery, or the normal problem with the radio on the 1030 doing it's normal dropouts).  BUT - my last ride, forgot the wheel magnet on a new rear wheel, so was on GPS only, and same problem.

    Remove the sensor because If it wakes up without a magnet it will broadcast a speed of zero. If the edge sees a sensor it uses it. Fix it or just remove ut. Is is not useful on a road bike   Speed sensors are useful on MTB during techy Trail riding.

    Actually I'm of the opposite opinion.  I did disable the speed sensor for that ride, but frankly the GPS isn't that reliable for speed and gives occasional bad data when it loses a fix and re-establishes it a couple of seconds later..  As a for instance, that was my first ride with GPS only in ages, and I ended up with a maximum 70mph, which for where I was, was 50MPH faster than I was going.  But, the GPS is very helpful in automatic calculation/recalculation of wheel size when swapping wheels back and forth...  :)

    It's really up to you of course. But very few people use a speed sensor on a road bike (except for indoor non-smart trainers but that is another application). Your GPS should not provide bad data. Also you may want to use GPS+Galileo to help with that. I never get inadequate speeds using GPS without a speed sensor when on the road, or the few times it may happen I really don't care. But out in the woods when I MTB and I get poor reception because of the trees, and the speeds are very slow, the speed sensor become very helpful.

    Yeah, I do have it on GPS+Galileo.  Just weird that the first ride in years that I do with GPS only, I get a wildly off speed with clear skies and a few miles in already.   So yeah, I'm still more comfy with a speed sensor and the GPS backstopping it vs GPS being the primary/only sensor.  :)  I swear I'm not a dinosaur, just a software engineer with some OCD.  LoL.
