Single Connect IQ install now uses 2 slots?

Former Member over 9 years ago

Just noticed that when i install something from Connect IQ (e.g. data field, or watch face) my available slots goes down by 2! If i restart the watch the count returns to what it should be.

I have 2 235 watches (one bought in November, one this month, fully updated) and this happens on both. It seems to be a "feature" of the latest firmware update (i.e. introduced bug).

Can someone else confirm it's not just me. Tim, if it is a bug can you flag it to the Garmin engineers to hopefully fix?

I've not seen this. Maybe it's something specific to what you installed. On what do you see this?

If in GCM you go to Garmin Devices>your watch>Connect IQ Apps>Manage Storage, what do you see listed as your apps? (the # of things listed+available slots will equal 16)

Can you do a specific test to check? I hand't noticed either until i got a new watch and was installing and removing a lot of apps setting it up, then strangely was told i had no more spots left.

Yep exactly. Lets say i have 11 CIQ apps installed (data fields, watch faces, etc). I go to this page on GCM and can see and count them, and the number of slots free says 5. I then install something and check again. Now i count 12 CIQ apps, but am told only 3 slots available. I delete what i just installed, go back here and find my original 11 apps listed and apparently have 4 slots available. I turn off the watch, wait a minute, turn it on again, then check. Yep, back to 5 slots available. Something clearly resets when i restart the watch.

Happens on both watches. Doesn't seem to matter what i'm installing.
