Mounted with a 10’ mast.

ISS with UV and Solar sensors.

Garmin IQ Tip:

Just updated the firmware?

Give your watch 2 restarts after firmware update, yes two! Also restart the application that installed the firmware update, too.

Why restart? A firmware update usually contains many different updates (gps, bluetooth, ANT+, Wifi, and all the other sensor hardware, too. To complete these updates usually takes more than one restart to enable the individual updates.

Also prevents the IQ install error, “This app requires an update of your fēnix 5S. Please use Garmin Express to update your watch”

So, Update and Restart!

Thanks,
-Brian B.

Android Connect Users: After saving an IQ application, the setting button disappears! This is a new bug with the Android Connect App. I suggest to leaving a post so this gets addressed quickly. The Connect developers are usually quite responsive.

Here is the forum post listing this new bug.

https://forums.garmin.com/forum/into-sports/garmin-connect-mobile-application/garmin-connect-mobile-android/1433951-no-settings-option-or-version-info-for-apps-installed-on-watch

Workaround:

At the moment the workaround is to use Garmin Express, Express is my go to utility that never has problems.

Typically my apps are bug free and normally the issue is a Connect App install issue.

What is causing the error there is a corrupt settings file causing the Crash.

Another thing I have encountered, if you remove your watch from a PC without ejecting or unmounting the USB device (watch) first can cause this error.

Procedure

First, uninstall the app is crashing, restart the watch and reinstall the app.This typically corrects the incomplete installation error.

If you have tried my first option, try the second and third.

Second, Try the first step using Garmin Express for installing apps, this is the most reliable installation method. Usually Garmin Express successfully overwrites the settings file.

Third, Connect watch to the pc. Navigate to the x:/garmin/apps. Note: the file name of the most recent dated xxxx.PRN file. Writedown the name and then delete the file. This will be the crashing app since it was just installed in the previous step.

Then goto the ‘x:/garmin/apps/setting/data’ and ‘x:/garmin/apps/setting’ and delete and files that has the same name. The xxxx.SET file is the file causing the error.

Finally, if the error stills occurs there could be a bug and I may ask for a log file and to run special debug code to help find the hidden bug.

The log file can found at x:\garmin\apps\log. “x” will be the assigned Microsoft Windows drive letter.

Today’s elliptical activity was 99.995% accurate. The Elliptical App verses the elliptical machine (total step count 2126 vs. 2139).No other app can achieve this!

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers.

To be able to create an SSL connection a web server requires an SSL Certificate. When you choose to activate SSL on your web server you will be prompted to complete a number of questions about the identity of your website and your company. Your web server then creates two cryptographic keys – a Private Key and a Public Key.
