Auto Pause text stays forever [Bug 123]

Unread post by ConiKost »

When having a started recording and enabled 'Auto Pause' and one Auto Pause triggers, the text 'Auto Pause HH:MM:SS' is being shown. Once I am faster than Auto Pause and recording is being continued, the text 'Auto Pause HH:MM:SS' is not being removed. I am sure, that this was the case in older firmware versions. Currently using firmware 13.20. Anyone also experienced this issue?

Verified and reported to Garmin.

If anyone can confirm similar behavior on earlier firmware versions, please do so.

Thank You!

Software Version 10.90
GPS Software Version 2.80
Display Software Version 85.07
Activity: Hiking
Recording Interval: Time 5 seconds

When I set auto pause to On and the lowest possible speed, around 2.5 kph, the whole unit slows down considerably, the map display update is behind the movements by a few seconds, data field readouts are sluggish etc., like it's struggling to keep up.
When I turn auto pause off again it returns to normal, updating the map display instantly as expected.

Walking around starting and stopping for about 10 minutes I only once saw the auto pause text appear with a beep, and it disappeared after a second or so.
It did take about 20 seconds from the time I stopped until the text appeared, and it only appeared one time, all the other times I started stopped etc. it never appeared, even waiting still for over a minute.

Turning auto pause back on again the only time the text appears is the first time I stop and only for about a second, I noticed it had "Auto Pause 12:37" written on it, no idea why and it vanishes too fast to get a screenshot of it.
A little pause icon appears next to the satellite level indicator (screenshot) and once there it doesn't go away when movement starts again or even if moving for more than a minute over the minimum auto pause speed.

This is the first time I've tried auto pause on the 700 since I've had it, my conclusion is auto pause is broken :mrgreen:

EDIT: forgot to mention the speed display rarely shows 0 when stopped and auto pause is turned on, instead it varies from 0 to 3 or 4 kph even when still for a minute or more, turn auto pause off and this doesn't happen, speed stays on 0 when stopped as expected.

LostAgain,

We are unable to duplicate with current firmware, version 13.20.

Please consider uploading short videos showing both behaviors (Auto Pause Enabled/Disabled) so we have something to present to the Garmin software engineers.

Also, consider updating to the most current firmware version first, as this will be the first thing out of their mouths.....

I am also unable to reproduce the (performance) issue reported by LostAgain. Garmin replied today and created an internal ticket for the Auto Pause issue.

Seems fixed with 14.80. Text disappears when resuming.
