Auto-scroll missing on 6.10

I updated my Venu to 6.10 yesterday morning and immediately lost the auto-scroll option from my running screen to see the various stats during my run. The option appears to have been removed completely. Has anyone else had this issue?

Yes, I noticed today that the auto-scroll feature is no longer functioning since updating to v6.10

I’ve lost auto scroll since updating to 6.10 too.

I'm glad it's not just me!

I have just spoken to Garmin and have a fix. On your Venu, go in to Settings > System > Display and change "During Activity" to Always On. This will then mean the Auto-Scroll option in your activity settings will be available again. It seems that the update unexpectedly changed the Display setting which then removed the Auto-Scroll option. Thankfully an easy fix and I am back up and running!

I would not call that a fix... Maybe a temporary workaround. The desired behaviour for the vast majority of users is as follows: have display turned off and when I raise my wrist, auto-scroll over data screens to show stats, put wrist back down and turn the screen off. What you have described as a fix means that my display will be always on and scrolling over available data screens even when I won't be looking at my watch. That will significantly reduce battery life for long activities, such as a 100+ km rides.

I also noticed this problem.

I agree. It would be nice to have a permanent fix.

Brilliant! Thanks so much for this - I had noticed it had stopped scrolling when I was exercising and it was really annoying, but I kept forgetting to go and reset it before I used it again! I figured it had just reset to a "no" default with an update, then I found it had gone as an option altogether. So happy to have it back :-)
