Strava servers has been down all day today so maybe that’s why it haven’t uploaded.
I had the same issue from Garmin today but it seems to be fixed by now, maybe you need to upload the fit file manually.

I’ve done two commutes today with BLEvo and they’ve both tracked my heart rate from the Apple Watch at 68bpm. I’m pressing start on BLEvo then starting an outdoor ride in the activities app on the watch. Has anyone else successfully fixes this issue? Should I start the Apple Watch activity first?
Cheers

@Stumpy do you know why? What is you procedure?
Hi @Hitby, yes, I always start an ‘open’ outdoor cycle on the Apple Watch first and BLEvo works well (with smart HR) for me following that.

Thanks, I’ll switch around and give that a go for my rides tomorrow.

Well, my watch ran out of battery on the way to work but on the way home, fully charged. Started watch workout first them started BLEvo - it picked up my heart rate, stuck it in my pocket and it tracked at 68bpm for the whole ride again. A bit disappointing. Hopefully I can figure it out.

i have poor experience with blevo as a whole on my iphone, with both apple watch hr monitor or the recommended HRM from Blevo. it's just too unreliable and slow to react even for cross country use.
My experience with BLEvo smart HR and Apple Watch (4 with cellular paired with a iPhone XS max) is the opposite and all works well 95% (subjective and not empirical) of the time. The other 5% is when BLEvo loses the HR signal from the watch. However, in checking the health app on the iPhone the same data is missing and therefore not it’s a BLEvo issue (IMO).
NB: I’ve not used the latest version of BLEvo but will test when I’m next able to ride.
Out of interest can @Hitby and @Bryan Wells comment on their Apple Watch model and health app data?

loving it! won't work with a quad lock mount - use the GLUB or a stretchy silicone one. both have worked fine for me.
firmware updates for 2017 levo affecting BLEvo? Do I need to worry about my LBS updating my firmware and disrupting the beautiful relationship I'm having with BLEvo and my bike?
Sorry to bug, @PaoloBLEvo and @Maastricht, but I have to take my 2017 in to the LBS to have them fiddle with my bike. It's not switching levels of assist and the battery lights are not showing the charge level. I used SpecyDefault to re-set before connecting to Mission Control. I'm concerned that a firmware update could mess up BLEvo. I haven't been on the forum lately, so I am not up-to-date on the discussion. I"m currently on 4.0.1 on the motor and 2.17.1 for the battery according to mission control.

Mission Control has the total odometer reading on the diagnose page but I don't see an equivalent in BLEvo. Am I missing it? Would be nice to see without having to launch MC.
Paolo, if not in BLEvo, is this something you can add to a future release?

If you go in the battery monitor, you can find the total km done..

I have a series 4 non cellular and the heart rate looks to track correctly in the activities app.
On a related note, because I have the activity running on my watch and then Strava also adds the activity to apple health all my totals are doubled. How do you get around that? Just not allow strava to add its activities to the app?

Paolo, I found the battery monitor but the odometer is in kilometers even though I have it configured for miles. The temperature is fahrenheit which is correct.

As far as I know it’s not possible to do a software unlock any more. You’ll need a hardware device like the velociraptor or the planetary gear thingummy.
Ok.. I will fix the convertion in miles... thanks
You are right.. Until know only hardware or mechanical solutions..
I have just released the new version 3.5.2 of BLEvo for Android ..

- Added configuration to remove the initial BLEvo message
- Added information on the KMs made and the status of the battery in the bike monitor

I am curious as well. Seems the Android platform is the better one for your app. Really like the app, should I consider getting my second phone as android to take advantage of future updates?

It seems to connect much faster with the bike now.
Hopefully the connection is more stable too.
