Auto-Scroll is overwriting the Display timeout

When auto-scroll of datafields is active, this overrides the timeout of the display.

So auto-scroll is always reactivating the display time-out time when it swaps to the next page. This can lead to that the display never turns off during an activity.

Makes no sense at all. I still want auto-scroll but sure the display should still turn off automatically. Pls fix this.

Until this is fixed why not just put those two data fields on the first screen and turn off auto scrolling? Then you’ll see what you need to with a gesture.

Hey, is there an update? I still have this problem and there is no update for my Venu. The battery is draining really fast while on a long ride...

Hello! I need to apologize for any confusion I may have caused. I have reached out to my team for an update and after creating a case this is how this feature was designed. If you would like the display turned off, you will need to have auto scroll turned off. I understand this may cause frustration but in the mean time we have created this as a customer experience for you.
