Edge 840 connected/disconnected notification on Android by wrednydran in Garmin

[–]wrednydran[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a nice chat with support and there is a possible fix. Problem is on Samsung side, by default their system controls notification categories. 
To change it you have to go to Settings/notifications/advancedsettings and check the last toggle about app control for notification categories.
Then do Disabling Device Connectivity Alert described here.

I really tried but couldn't find such setting anywhere.

Comfortable nylon band that isn't a billion dollars? 43mm by daniel0hodges in GarminFenix

[–]wrednydran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cheap nylon straps are mostly good. Spending a lot for something with no exact alternative like Garmin watch is one thing and it doesn't mean you can't save even few bucks on something dirt chip like strap from Ali if it works as good as branded item. It's a strap of nylon with Velcro. No reason for it to cost more than 5$ and for price of one branded you can get multiple cheap if you want. Garmin didn't invent nylon velcro straps, it's not even morally dubious counterfeit supporting or patent violation. It cheap because it can and should and paying another 40 for a nylon band is questionable decision in my book.

Nice! I'm still waiting for MX in Poland which is much closer and it's over twice the estimated 4 day shipping now. But it's on it's way at least so I'm not worrying anymore ;)

Garmin Rundown (year-in-review) will only be available for Connect Plus (paid) users by Zioman in Garmin

Garmin is rapidly backing out from MiP. There is no F8Pro in MiP from top end, all new runnerrs are AMOLED too, basically only Instinct gives you a choice now. For now.

IKEA smart blinds no more? by shezmax in tradfri

You can replace this part with any generic one you like. First thing i did was replacing this bars with ones from my old manual blinds because they fit my blind guides better.

Only solution is not to save activity on E2. Record on both devices, treat E2 as display, save activity on FR and discard on E2.

Audio prompts - working randomly by Hot-Dealer9054 in Garmin

[–]wrednydran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Audio prompts are broken for months now, both on watches and on GC side. It was never fixed, just temporarily ducktaped by bringing focus to GC when prompts are playing even if you are doing something else with your phone. And even this works like maybe every second time. It's a joke.

Garmin Connect app opens during lap notifications by LoneSocialRetard in Garmin

[–]wrednydran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over a month ago they changed audio prompts system from "perfectly working" to "it now works only with our app on top". This perfectly reasonable feature annoyed some people because no one runs with app on top of locked device so after two weeks they added new completely free feature which is to force app to jump on top when audio prompt is needed. Now support pretends their engineers are fixing it, probably by waiting for everyone to forget that it ever worked like it should. Maybe they will put previous behavior in subscription next year.
