AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

I got the update from I Tunes and it fixed the issue of phone calls not working but now when I stop riding the timer stops but I'm not able to get an "option" button unless I cancel
the program and restart it and then it will let me stop the ride. Also if I turn off the Location Services and not use the GPS feature will that save battery power or will it not matter?
Is there a trick I'm missing on the heart rate strap, sometimes the rate goes over 220 which I'm not even at 145? Is there a certain tension on the chest strap? Or maybe I'm wearing it wrong?

Anyone ??

As far as the HR strap, make sure it's moist when attaching it. Also, the most common reason for excessively high numbers is having a jersey flapping against the strap. It happens with Polar, Garmin, etc. I actually started wearing a Under Armour compression shirt to prevent this and ended up wearing one all the time since it keeps you from dripping like crazy.

This happens quite often with ANT+ system straps under certain conditions, have a look at this thread.

Thanks, I'll try your ideas. I did notice yesterday when I rode that making the strap a little tighter helped some too.

Electrode gel will help, too.

Don't get sonogram gel - you want electrode gel. It can easily be found on Amazon. A small tube will last a long time. You may even be able to get it at some drug stores.
