Help with corrupt fit file

Former Member

Might as well start a thread for this like they have over in the 500 forum.

I've only had my 520 for a week, and I really like it. The only issues I've had so far are that sometimes the bluetooth requires me to restart on the device to work properly, and then tonights FIT file is really corrupt so I can't load it over to strava.

The online FIT tool doesn't fix it, and then I opened it in golden cheetah. It seems the timestamps are all whacky, where it should be increasing every second, but it looks like the stamps are becoming integer overflows. The data is there, I just don't know of a way to edit all of the timestamps by just setting them as monotonically increasing seconds after they start getting corrupt in the file.

Any ideas?

    ive got an issue with this file. ive exhausted efforts to try and fix. its from a 910xt. I can see the activity and all data on the watch but various fit file repair tools can't fix. u can see it has rendered the date stamp incorrectly in the filename and doesn't appear to contain any data either. would love help.

    hi MrLeeMichaels,

    The file doesn't contain a single record. The summary info contained in the activity history of your device and the info contained in the .fit file are two different things, if the data isn't contained in the file then there is nothing I can do to assist.

    As an aside - how many completed and uploaded activities are on your device? If it's any more than a months then it could well be time to archive them off to a folder on your computer to free up some storage space.

    cheers

    Hoping this can be salvaged by some kind soul on here. Tried to manually upload to Garmin Connect but get the message 'One of your files was not accepted by the system.'
