Incorrect wattage readings during climbs

Hi everyone,
for the past few weeks my Powerpod has been giving significantly lower wattage readings on inclines. Recalibrating and switching to a different profile haven't fixed it.
It's as if the incline sensors aren't registering that I'm going uphill. What can I do?

Please post a .ibr ride file and we will take a look. Check to make sure your unit is not set to indoor trainer mode...

Thanks for the quick reply and help.
I hope you can find something. I'm currently having the same problem; I can't download the latest tour data. It says there isn't any available, even though I did two rides today. I'm really at a loss.
