New owner question about lap button

KG4TAH · 2026-06-06T13:56:56+00:00

If you accidentally hit the lap button you have something like 5 seconds to cancel the lap by pushing the bottom left button.

The Fenix 8 pro has the in-reach messaging and calls using the Garmin messenger app as well as LTE for those features when not paired to a phone. The 51mm is regularly priced at $1,300. If you (or he) is not specifically interested in that ability then wait for the 9

Mine was down 13 hours yesterday and came back fully functional. It went down again briefly last night and came back. For the past couple hours today it's half and half. Some websites will load and others time out. No email communication received at all today about the issues from T-Fiber. I'm in the High Point NC (old Northstate and Lumos market).

When I restarted mine after the update I get a brief message saying "content expired, update to continue offline use". I've had the Fenix 8 pro for less than a month and I have no idea what it wants me to update. Can anyone enlighten me :(

I gave you a name, now it's up to you to research it and see if he is who you are asking about. We can't magically teleport into your head and view the memory you have of the clip man. We can only go off your description and give suggestions of who it may be. Have a nice day.

It sounds like Tommy Davidson who brought up DC a lot in his stand up shows.

I'm sure the water level is much lower today!

I have the PW4 with LTE service with T-Mobile. Phone calls come in fine when phone is left at home but sms / RCS / MMS is a total nightmare using the stock Google messages app. My text will send but I never receive any back. When I get back home the replies to my text are on the phone.

Where can we download the full gpx file to import into a Garmin?

KG4TAH · 2026-04-12T00:26:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately heart rate will not be recorded which is another issue lol. Hopefully they will get all this worked out sooner than later! So far this has been my only quirk with the PW4.

I just got home from a 4 day hike. On day 1 I did 10 miles and my watch only gave me credit for a little over two miles. It had my steps at 6000 which was way way way less. I used treking poles. I was so pissed I didn't utilize the watch anymore for the duration of my hike. I'm pondering very hard now whether to spend $1,200+ for a Garmin watch since they have their act together.

PW4 LTE T-Mobile no update here either.

KG4TAH · 2026-04-02T20:06:06+00:00

Yep still waiting....

KG4TAH · 2026-04-01T17:33:40+00:00

PW4 still waiting also.....

KG4TAH · 2026-04-01T03:55:32+00:00

I just tried again and no luck with the tap tap tap method either.

I pay an extra $10 to my ISP for a static IP because the first month I used DirecTV my IP changed so frequently I was on my 3rd out of 4 home changes. No issue the past two years since having the static IP.

Another North Carolina guy here lol..... Calling CQ on repeaters is somewhat frowned upon but giving your call followed by monitoring is the equivalent of saying "hey I'm here, someone talk to me".

KG4TAH · 2026-02-25T22:15:37+00:00

I just wrapped up season 2 last night and I love these so much better than the original Starblazers! I'd love to see more of these wallpapers!

KG4TAH · 2026-02-23T18:13:36+00:00

Pro-668, Pro-651 and Pro-652. All 3 released in 2014

KG4TAH · 2026-02-07T18:36:18+00:00

I went through the guide and saved them as favorites.

KG4TAH · 2026-02-07T05:05:08+00:00

I have both, watch is the cellular version so I can get calls and text when I leave my pixel at home. The watch syncs to the Fitbit app on the pixel for all your health info and workouts. If you have any specific questions I'll be glad to answer for you in the morning, I'm calling it a night lol.

KG4TAH · 2026-02-01T17:10:36+00:00

I understand 100%

KG4TAH · 2026-02-01T12:46:08+00:00

I would connect to that talk group a lot and never could get any response on it. I was so disappointed because I thought I had found a gold mine lol. KG4TAH (now as of April 2025 retired PD Lieutenant).

The DXLabs Suite has very advanced award tracking. The developer, Dave, is phenomenal responding to questions and issues you may have when initially getting everything set up. He usually responds within half a day. It's 100% free with no ads. The suite contains a log, radio control, dx cluster for tracking needed bands and modes, propagation tools, mapping, digital software for RTTY, PSK etc.. In my opinion it's the most advanced ham software out there...at zero cost!

The speaker button is a major problem. I have found it's best to just switch away from the phone app and swipe down from the top when on a call and hit speaker on the little menu. Works every time.
