First, we would like to apologize to everyone who has been experiencing reboots and shutdowns on their Forerunner 245 due to notifications. We understand the inconvenience this has caused and we do our best to avoid introducing issues or bugs with new software updates, but we did not accomplish that this time.

The below beta addresses this issue specifically, and we encourage anyone experiencing this to install and test this, but this is of course voluntary. As long as we find no issues with the beta, these changes will be rolled out in the forum of a production update very soon.

The download for this beta can be found here.

Notes:

For any issues that you encounter please fill out the form included in the download and attach it to an email to [email protected] . Please note that you may not get a response to the email unless we need more information on the issue you report.
