I just found and started using the Windows app and my HR (polar H10) is dropping out (bt) intermittantly. I was going over the settings and connections when I noticed instructions for using zadig to install usb dongles. Great, plugged in my dongle and ran zadig to install the correct driver, no ant devices (kicker core, quark PM, polor h10) show up. What gives?
I have a polar H10, I can test mine too, most likely this is something specific to your environment setup but we will see. I am not really a windows users although I have a couple windows machines. I believe I had to do some hacks to get one of my Ant+ adapters working on windows but now I can’t remember clearly. Garmin Ant+ seemed more straight forward but again let me test this too. Might take until early next week.
I did not test ant+ on windows yet but tested my Polar. The polar worked fine for me but I did notice one issue which is that our auto-reconnect is not working correctly. So if you have some interference in your house then it drops and is not reconnecting. This will be fixed this week and that might resolve your bluetooth issues or at least improve it significantly. I still plan on testing Ant+ on windows.
I have not tested the windows version in a long time but my polar with ant+ worked fine. the issue was with the trainer. it seems like there was a long lag to display data and i think the watts may not have worked. but it was a long time ago. not sure if more coding has been done with ant. if it has, i can try it again
I also have frequent problems with BT connectivity on my windows PC.
Desktop app version 1.723
I have a Kickr Core and a Garmin HRM-Dual.
Both would loose their connection too often. Both stay connected to my Garmin Venu 3…
I never had those connectivity problems when using the android app.
I’m tempted to buy an ANT+ dongle, but this doesn’t work either?
We tested with Garmin ANT+ dongle and it worked for us. Let us test and see if we can reproduce any windows ble connection issues, I will try to test Ant+ again as well. I have Garmin Pro HRM, never had issues in the past.
Still having connectivity issues with Bluetooth.
So stopped using the windows app for the moment. Back to android app. This works perfect.
I use audiorelay to pass the beeps from the app on my phone to my PC so I can hear them in my ear buds while watching a movie on my PC…
Would be nice to have a flashing screen option instead of the beeps when changing interval. No idea if this is feasible
