[SOLVED] - HR issues after HR+ updates

A couple issues I’m seeing since the latest release with HR+ mode. Running version 4.8.1 on IOS with a Stages SB20.

I have a 60 min HR workout that is 5 min ERG, 50 min HR, then 5 min ERG.

When getting 50 min into the workout, the workout thinks it changes to ERG mode (but stays in HR mode). This is also indicated by the next interval indicator in the app. Once it gets to 55 min in the workout it does switch to ERG mode, but the target is INFINITY and seems to lose all control. The connection to the SB20 and HR monitor are not dropped though and the app shows 2 connections as it should.

This is happening consistently since the HR+ updates.

A couple other items on HR mode as well (may need separate topics?):

  • Increases in HR+ target via up/down arrows in active ride changes in increments of 5. Doesn’t appear to be a setting to control this interval
  • Indoor Workout tab of an HR+ workout shows %FTP and Watts for the HR modes - would be good to have it show HR target as %FTP and Watts aren’t the target for this mode

Oh no sorry about that we will get this fixed ASAP.

My developer said he is pretty sure he found the problem and will do a fix ASAP.

Thanks for finding it so fast and looking forward to the update.

Hola @codrake. The build with fixes is now in the testing phase for beta users. If you are a beta member, the fixes will be available today (version 4.8.4+).

We’re going to check a couple more things, and we’ll send the build to production.

I see the update is out now - thanks. Will try the workout tomorrow, but did notice the addition in settings to allow for changing the HR interval. :slight_smile:

Confirmed the latest update is switching from HR+ mode to ERG mode at the right time now and also not seeing INFINTY as the target.

One thing I did notice during the change from ERG-> HR+ and then again from HR±>ERG mode is the Watts and BPM indicators on the right side of the app switch places. When going from ERG->HR+ the BPM meter drops to the bottom and Watts is on top of it. They flip back again after switching modes.

Good news, yes there are some issues with the scaling. I did not like how it worked but I did not notice this issue. We will test and improve this soon.

Is there an update to the HR scaling issue; e.g. currently changes HR by 5 beats vs. being able to fine tune the target HR?

Yes, the target HR change amount has been resolved. There’s a setting now in “Other Options” for “HR Increase” that let’s you set the value to increase/decrease by.
