I can't remember if and how often I may have gotten the "sensor found" notification banner during rides with earlier firmware versions. But I get them frequently with version 10.0. I probably got the message a half dozen times or more on today's 50 mile group ride with 12 of us. Because I was riding and the lettering is small, I don't know if the sensors detected were mine or another rider's. Looking at this version's fixes, it shows that it "cleaned up" some of these notifications. Some? What does that mean? And when the notifications are displayed during a ride with others, whose sensors is the Garmin 820 detecting? I am not seeing dropouts of my data as far as I can tell.
OnlyTwo, That's not my question. I know how to find my sensors and their ID numbers. I want to know whether the notifications are for my sensors or another rider's. I can't take time to read the ID numbers displayed in the "sensor found" notifications during my ride in a pace line. They are displayed for a few seconds and then vanish. I just need to know why the notifications are popping up and whose sensors they refer to when mine seem to be displaying data without dropping out.
I looked at my fit file for the ride referenced in my first post above using the Runanalyze fit2tcx link. I did not see anything that looked like a dropout or reconnection. I suspect what happened was I got the "found sensor" message banner when resuming the ride after a complete stop at a light or similar. It could have even been when pedaling again after coasting. I have now made note of my sensor ID numbers and may be able to note which sensor(s) are associated with the messages. I will try to pay more attention on conditions when I see the message again. The Fit File Repair Tool seems to much labor to install Access for this purpose. Thanks for the replies.
Hi there! In may case the sensors keep connecting an disconnecting but not during a ride, but while having a break. Even if the unit remains on bike during a break, it keeps connecting and disconencting speed and cadence sensors. That happens alle the time since FW10.0 have been released. Batteries are fresh.
Hi All, Same issue for me with speed and cadence sensor ! FW10.0 and fresh battery. Multiple reconnections during the ride make me loose number of Km ! Any patch or FW update ? Thx
Hi All ! Here are my files. The first one (2018-10-20-08-24-00.fit) recorded with Garmin 820 FW10.0 where 5kms are missing and I had during the ride a lots of "sensor found". The other one (8AK82354.FIT) for comparison recorded with Garmin 735 connected to the same sensors at the same time but with a lose of cadense sensor after lunch break. I didn't really understand how to analyse the files. Thx a lot
OnlyTwo : I'm using the Wahoo Blue SC spd&cad sensor. Battery is brand new on this sensor as I changed it last week. Thanks for your analysis. Any ideas of how to solve this issue ?
I've been getting the same thing, multiple times per ride. I have a Varia 510, and get a disconnect notice, when I look at my 820, I see that both my HR (Garmin HRM-Tri) & power meter's (Favero Assioma pedals) data screens freeze. In a few seconds when the "disconnect" notice goes away, everything works fine. It's quite annoying.
