AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Aeropod seems to have disappeared from the Danish Connect IQ store?

I'm not sure if that is a bug or a feature...riding after dark is not something most cyclists do :-) If you as I live at 55 latitude then the sun sets between 4 - 5 pm every day so riding in the dark is something required if you want to ride outside ;-) Here is a shot from my Garmin this evening; I...

Hi John, I tried it on my ride today and can confirm that it works perfectly :) It would however be nice if the app could be split so the gauges could be placed in a separate field and the statistics field in another. I did found a small bug though. After sunset Garmin inverts all colours - white fo...

Hi John, The instruction says that the app must be displayed in a 1 field screen but I wonder if it would be possible to have it displayed in a 3 field screen - app takes half and then 2 fields below it? The reason is that I heavily rely on heart beat and cadence metrics should I would really like t...

Stay tuned...

Will it could be used by powerpod owners too?

1) We have had no other reports of our app stopping working, so it's conjecture to conclude that Garmin FW changes introduced incompatibilities. Garmin is a big company, and it seems unlikely that they would make changes that would break ConnectIQ apps. Just to revive this issue and to proof I am n...

Hi John, I suggest you contact Garmin. What do you expect Garmin could do since it is not their app? I expect Garmin would say that I should contact the person who owns the app and ask that person to upgrade the app to meet the expectations of the new API version. The changes needed requires access ...

Hi John, I have verified that the connection is ANT+ but worse is that it seems that connectIQ API has been upgraded on all current Garmin computers so this might be the reason for the AeroPod CdA has stopped working - and not just my Garmin 830 but all current Garmin cycling computers: https://www....

Will this also work with a Powerpod v3?

Hi all,

After the firmware in my Garmin 830 was upgraded to 9.xx (9.00, 9.10, 930) the AeroPod CdA data fields stopped to work. I have tried to uninstall and install the AeroPod CdA again but still nothing shows. Anybody experiences the same?

Powerpod: v3

Hi john, I am afraid I have to report that the problem occurred again yesterday and I have to follow the same approach as explained previously. This time I noticed that powerpod stopped sending data to garmin but the connection was maintained since garmin showed that PP was connected when I closed ...

Tubeless tyres have substantially less RR and I run them at low pressure for comfort, reduced vibration and hence higher speed. There is a little misunderstanding here. Tubeless tires does not provide higher speed due to lower pressure and reduced vibration. The main reason is that you do not have ...

My guess is that it is watt distribution. Eg. how long time on this particular ride you performed this watt number.

On a Garmin only one sensor at a time can be used for a specific measurement. Eg. if speed is coming from a sensor on the wheel speed cannot at the same time come from PP. As soon as you click 'start ride' all sensors for a specific measurement is locked and cannot be changed as long as the ride is ...

Looking forward . Thanks.

Hi all,

I have a feature request for Isaac which is as follows:
When PP or AP is in connected state in Isaac it would be very useful if a small icon showed the current battery level in the device as a percentage number. While charging this number of course should be updated.

Please provide any details of the circumstances when the problem occurred. I just remembered two other observations before ending the last ride before it would not power on: 1) PP was running low on power - blinking red, and Garmin had also warned me of low power on the power meter 2) When I came h...

Just write here if you need some more info.

I had the same problem yesterday. The day before I connected it to a USB power device and as usual I saw a number of green led blink followed by a number of red led blink as usual. The next day it would not power on so I connected it to the power source again and left it the night over. Next day did...

Hi John, Found the problem :D The problem was mainly due to temperature and packing my mobile differently. I recently bought a new top tube bag and the first time I used it was with the newton tracker running. Before I had my mobile in the back pocket of my jersey but it was placed in the new top tu...

Something else is likely going on with your phone.

Yep, seems to be an observation identical to what I described in my latest post

I personally use iOS. We know someone who has Android 10, so we will see how NT works with this phone. I don't know what versions of Android our customers use, but yours is the first report in 10 years, so this would appear to be an uncommon problem. I have had the app running now for an hour (not ...

Hi John,
I might should have been more precise. The problem is not cause by installing the app the problem is when click on the start button, eg when the app is recording your position via gps. Could you tell which versions of Android you have tried the app on?

Hi John, I recently bought a GPS tracker key for my PP and as part of buying this key I received an Android App named Newton Tracker and I was supposed to test this app today but the experience was not pleasant since the the app in less than 40 minutes completely drained my phone's battery - 90% pow...

Hi John and others, I have now used the firmware 8.01 on my PPv3 for 200km rides and the experience was pleasent :D I have made the following observations: 1) Connection is more stable and reliable 2) Numbers seems more correct and no sudden peaks or drops 3) Pairing is quicker - almost instantly 4)...

Thank's John. I will try it out when the whether here becomes more bike friendly (-10 degrees celcius and snow)

Hi John,
Do you have an estimated date for GA of the newest firmware for PPv3?

Regards Michael

You are riding the exact same route back as you did out?

You do not calibrate PP with your Garmin. Calibration is for direct attached power meters.
