Сегодня, Garmin announced the release of a critical software update, версия 21.20, designed to enhance the stability and performance of its popular Forerunner series. This update specifically targets the Forerunner 965, 955, 265, 255, и 165 модели, addressing two key issues reported by users.
Addressing User Concerns:
The primary focus of this update is to resolve a significant issue that has been impacting a number of users: unexpected crashes of Connect IQ watch faces. These crashes could disrupt the user experience and limit the functionality of the smartwatch. By addressing this issue, Garmin aims to provide users with a more seamless and reliable experience with their chosen Connect IQ apps and watch faces.
In addition to the Connect IQ stability improvements, the update also rectifies an issue related to touchscreen responsiveness. Some users had reported inconsistencies in how the touchscreen settings were being applied, leading to frustration and potential inaccuracies in touch interactions. This update ensures that touchscreen settings are consistently respected, providing a more accurate and predictable user experience.
Phased Rollout and Manual Update:
Garmin is implementing a phased rollout of the update to ensure a smooth and controlled distribution process. В настоящее время, 20% of users are receiving the update. Однако, users who are eager to experience the improvements can manually initiate the update process. To do so, they should follow these steps:
- Access the device menu.
- Перейдите к “System.”
- Выбирать “Обновление программного обеспечения.”
- Выбирать “Проверьте наличие обновлений.”
Garmin anticipates a full rollout of the update in the coming days, ensuring that all users of the affected Forerunner models have access to these critical stability enhancements.
