My Gen III has not been responding consistently to middle button presses when in User Interval mode lately. I haven't noticed any lack of response when using the button in other contexts (ie, moving between functions, navigating through setup menus, etc), only when I'm in User Interval mode. I've had a number of experiences in the past few weeks however (and it was really problematic today, for whatever reason) when I press the center button to stop the current interval and start another, that it doesn't respond - I remain in the same interval. It often takes several presses to get it to respond. (and today I held it too long and it attempted to sync wireless sensors - I don't have wireless

On a possibly related note, though it could just be a new feature of the iBike software I'm ignorant of, I'm finding that I have a bunch of lap markers appearing in my ride files that I'm not setting, when I've been in User Interval mode. They seem to occur when I make a significant increase in output. For example, today, I did hill repeats. I went in to User Interval mode at the bottom of the hill, did my trip up the hill and pressed the button at the top of the hill. I went back down the hill, started my next interval, etc. I noted when I downloaded the ride file later that I had several lap markers interspersed in the trip back down the hill (where there were slight uphills that I had to exert a little power to get up, vs coasting on the other parts of the downhill). Is this a feature or a malfunction or some variety? Is it potentially related to my troublesome button? (ie, the button is 'shorting' or just spontaneously activating or such?)

Appreciate any assistance!

The software feature you describe about adding lap markers is the new auto route feature. It analyzes your route and can add lap markers for when you do laps.
If you don't want it to automatically make lap markers, you can go to edit->preferences->analysis and then choose which features you want to have happen automatically when you download.

As for the button, it sounds like something could be happening with the contact to the press sensor. If you hold the top and bottom button together at the same time, it will scan for wireless sensors. . .so this is what could have happened. It sounds like the center button isn't quite pressing in like it should.
