Edge820 Screen flakiness

Former Member

Recently, on mountain bike rides/races specifically, my 820 will just randomly change screens. I'll look down to check my progress on the course and the drop down menu from the top bar will be the only thing visible, or it will have changed to one of my settings screens, one of the data fields on the correct screen might be selected/blackened as if I'm trying to change the data field to something else entirely... I cannot stress enough how frustrating this flakiness is when in the middle of a race and trying to gauge distance, speed, progress, etc.

I've only seen it happen a few times on road rides, but almost always on a MTB ride I will look down to see a screen I did not select!
  • Sweat droplets/condensation will change the screen on mine but I can't for the life of me change screens with my un-gloved finger when I WANT to.. the touch screen is pretty much garbage during an activity.. I wish you could select a setting that told it you want to use the lap button or something to change screens without having to buy the extra remote

    I have no issues with using the screen while wearing any pair of gloves... in fact, my screen seems to respond better with gloves than with a fingertip. It's like the tab/field I'm trying to select will just flash quickly or even darken, but will not actually change the screen to the desired selection. VERY infuriating!
  • Definitely agree with you there. Rather than "touch" anything I have to give it the old "press and hold" to get it to recognize I actually wanted to select something
