N79 Active and NST 2.06 crashes on long runs

Bugreport for Sports Tracker

Hi,

Whenever I go cycling for long runs, over a few metric miles the app crashes and stops logging.

This is very frustrating.

I attended a race this weekend and only got the first 68 km out of 90, which leaves me with little information on how my performance was at the end of the race.

This happens even after maybe 20-30 km...

I have the N79 Active, I use the Polar hrm bet and have the latest version of the app

Please fix this or I just bought a 400 euro phone which I can't use to much.
(Used to have NST on my E71 but wanted the HRM - only have the N79 for cycling)

Anyone have the same experience or is it just me?

Thanks

hi,i had the same problem with my active and afer looking around on google i found people recommend setting the access point in sportstracker to 'none' whilst using the application and turn off search for updates,i did this and it seems to have been fine since.just turn the access point back on to upload your workout.hope this helps :)

Hi,
I've had a lot of problems with my N79A heart rate measuring. I've done 16 trainigs with N79A with only 6 succesful heart rate measurements. Usually it stops working after 10 to 15 minutes. It seems that it started working again after a stall ones as I took it off my arm and kept it near the chest belt a little while. Done all the heart rate counters usual actions and reinstalled NST.

Has anyone had the same problem? Is the BT-connection just too weak or what? Is there something that helps?

Just did the actions described in previous post and put the BT invisible. Lets see if it helps.

ive gone thru 2 batterys in 3 runs past two weeks!! ive worked out that you need to unclip the transmitter from the belt to save the battery life-i think....

At first it seemed that setting autoupdate and acces point off was the cure, but it wasn't. I was able to log high heart rates first time succesfully. But then at the very next long run it stopped working again. Only about 19 minutes from the start. The device is quite useless.

Does anyone know what helps?

Ok. It works better if you keep the phone in your hand not behind your arm. Or in your pocket if wearing jacket.
