PAIR FORERUNNER 910XT WITH THE GARMIN ANT AGENT UPDATE

I can’t send courses to the device, and Garmin Express doesn’t even work. I noticed that in addition, my setup for the screens (to display heart rate, pace, total time, etc) had been reset to the default.

This is intensely frustrating, as I wanted to see my splits and my heart rate from the race. Somehow all of the connecting and disconnecting from the charger caused the 310XT to 1) delete my half marathon from record 2) reassign the date of all of my other activities to today. I ran a half marathon, and when I tried to transfer the data to my PC, I ran into all of the problems I’ve mentioned. To turn it on again, I had to do some combination of removing it from the charger, hitting the power button, then placing it back in the charger. I have no idea if it is actually charging or not, or if the unit has crashed. I came back to check on the 310XT’s charging status and the screen was completely blank. I don’t remember if this happened before, but usually the screen displays a charging status indicator (64%, for example) when it is charging. This usually goes away after a few minutes. This isn’t as big of a problem, but apparently humid air can enter the unit and condense on the inside of the screen. Also, the time the GPS unit displayed was correct.

I suspected that the date was wrong because the GPS gets its time/date information from the GPS satellites, but the unit showed good satellite signal with 24 ft accuracy. The date of the Activities changed to March 31st, 2007. I turned the watch off, and turned it back on. According to my watch, all of my runs in the last 3 weeks happened “Yesterday”, each 2 minutes apart. While I was having trouble transferring data, I decided to take a look at my Activities History on the watch. This is how you reset the 310XT (WATCH OUT! ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED):Ģ) Press and hold Enter and Mode buttons (keep holding until step 6)Ĥ) Press and release Lap/Reset (watch will turn off)Ħ) Release Enter and Mode Bizarre Time/Date problems

I’ll update this as I make more progress.

I tried copying another version that exists on my PC over, and the data transfer started to work as soon as I restarted ANT Agent. It seems that one of the XML files, GarminDevice.XML is not correct. I think I’ve made some progress in figuring out why this doesn’t work. I tried re-pairing multiple times but had no success.

Then, the same problem started happening again – the 310XT would transfer data to my computer but I could not get the data into Garmin Training Center. I was able to transfer data well for about a month. I eventually tried resetting the 310XT to fix the problem. TCX files are downloaded to my PC, but they don’t go into Training Center. Even when I do this, sometimes I can’t transfer data. Unless I un-pair and re-pair my device, data won’t be transferred from the 310XT to my computer. Transferring data rarely works.Įven when there is definitely new data available, the Garmin ANT Agent screen will display: which made it pretty useless for my runs. I estimate that it took about 15 minutes to boot up and work normally each time. Update: This happened again, two times in a row. After an additional 5 to 10 minutes or so, the unit finally boots and works normally.

I try to wait for a few minutes in hopes that the unit will boot but usually start my run with the unit still stuck on its boot screen. The 310XT gets stuck on its boot screen where it displays the Garmin logo. Sometimes, the unit takes about 10 minutes to boot. I can’t turn the unit on ahead of time to get around this as there generally is not GPS reception indoors. But after that, sometimes it will take perhaps 2 minutes just to find a GPS signal. It usually takes the unit about 30 seconds to start up. By the time I use the 310XT, the battery is dead. Even when the computer is off, and the unit is still connected via USB, the 310XT will turn itself on. It’ll be on and trying to get a GPS signal. Sometimes while it is charging, I’ll hear a loud buzzing near the computer and check the unit. Here are some of the things it does wrong: The unit turns on by itself while connected to the computer. Generally, it is still useful for tracking my workouts and following courses, but it has been very frustrating to use. I’ve been having a lot of problems with my Garmin Forerunner 310XT.
