Quick question... I like to use BLEvo when I ride. Do I have to also have the Strava app open at the same time or is having BLEvo open by itself enough to capture data on both apps?

Only blevo and after the ride use the strava upload button on the ride details screen. You can also configure to upload minimal Blevo data or I think just about everything.

Which heart rate monitor do you use with BLEvo ? Does it display on the bike monitor in real time?

Thanks, sorry it took so long to get sorted out.
Thanks for the response, I was off the grid for a while and just came back to the forum. Before I used your awesome app, I used one called SportsTrackLive on Android. There's a setting called Max Heart Rate Feedback where you can activate the alarm when your heart rate goes above a set value. The value should be user defined, and an exact value, not a percentage. For instance, I would like to set the alarm for 150bpm. When my heart rate goes over 150bpm, the alarm should sound continuously until it falls back down below 150. The ideal sound would be a user selected choice from the sounds on your phone. A beeping sound would be fine, or a voice saying "heart rate exceeded" wouldn't be bad, but maybe a little anoying if you're passing someone on a hill and they hear your phone blasting "heart rate".
It should work also in BLEvo.. maybe you can deselect the auto reduction of brightness in the configuration menu..
Could you send a video to [email protected]?
The difference is that the real KM are calculated with the real wheel size and not with the hacked wheel size.@PaoloBLEvo
I have used Your app for a long time - It's excellent and very informative
The Battery Monitor says "real km" - is this distance measured by GPS ?

PS
I only ride on my private land - and therefore not with the speed resticted.
Sorry but the stores are different, so you have to pay again.. sorry..
Ok.. Understood..
I have deselected that option.
If I understood correctly from earlier posts then BLEvo follows the system settings, is this correct?
No.. when the ride recording is active the display should kept active by BLEvo..
Thanks, got it working now! Operator error unsurprisingly

Any news on the landscape mode for Iphone?

I've been using Blevo for about 6 months now, I can't imagine riding without it.
There are a couple of "funnies" happening and have a request for a small change in the interface.
1. I'm colourblind and cant' really tell the difference between red and black. Some of the display fields show black writing on a red background. It sure would he nice to change the foreground to white.
2. The screen display is very heavy on screen battery life. Having the phone turn off at 20% is nice, but an option at 40% as well would be great. I had the misfortune of having my phone run out before my bike battery. (Yes I know I can turn the screen off manually and I now do so).
3. My cadence meter displays a value of 60 when I know I am spinning closer to 80. Any calibrations which can be done here?
4. I always have to search for and add my BLE heart rate monitor, even when I take the save option. (I have three different ones but it doesn't matter which one I use). Anything I can do to improve this?
As I said, I can't imagine riding without it and am still experimenting for the best settings for me.

A power bank fixes #2 completely and they’re inexpensive. Based on Paolo’s recommendation here’s my setup: The Official BLEvo Thread - EMTB Forums
Got everything through Amazon.com

Thanks Jeff. That looks great.
Sorry, but it is not so easy as I thought...
You can use the white background.. maybe the contrast is better and it can be better for your colourblind
As already suggest, use a power bank.
The cadence is received from the bike.. No calibration is required.. I don't know why the value is not correct..
This could be a good idea, but I have to think how to implement.. The same thing could be valid for different bike and not only for different HRM..
Thanks.. Enjoy your ride with BLEvo..

Hi Paolo...
I still having problems with conductivity between my bike and BLEvo...
Creo with v3.5.9ios
2 different problems but I think they are similar and linked together...
1) During my rides (4+ hours) I usually take a long coffee break. I usually loose contact between bike and phone even though BLEvo shows a connection and bike shows a contact with BLEvo too... (This happens if I either leave BLEvo connected or I "PAUSE" BLEvo)... I then have to reboot BLEvo or turn off the bike battery to reset connection... The problem is, when I start riding again I get double or triple the power that I have set and when I go below my set Leg Power, I'm also getting battery power when not needed...
ECO= 1 to 10% TRAIL= 10 to 30%. Leg Power= 200W...
2) The other day during a ride (I usually do not do a hard climb in the beginning of the ride) I used TRIAL mode and when I was over the top I turned the ride back to ECO. The rest of the ride I was getting double the power that I should.
I have deleted BLEvo from my phone and reinstalled, that did not help. Planning to get a new phone in the near future but I do not think the phone is the problem.
Hope all is well for you during the C-19 crisis...

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean with "double"..

Recently I have had GPS dropouts, large sections of rides missing. I record with Strava at the same time and no GPS issues rides are complete. Could there be an issue with the Blevo GPS?

Hi Paolo,
Good idea about connecting to ANT HRMs, but when I try to connect to my Garmin Vivoactive 3, the message says " ANT Adapter not available: Built-in ANT hardware or external adapter required."

OK... I'm in ECO mode. Leg Power is 225w and % of assistance is 10%... I should get 22.5w of battery boost but I'm actually getting 46w! (Double)... Earlier in the ride I would always get within the range of assistance 1 to 10% but as soon as I switch modes ECO to TRAIL and then back to ECO weird things start to happen and I get twice as much boost as requested.... I hope this helps... I'm sure I'm the only one that has this problem!

Unfortunately the math isn't that simple. Per Specialized, 100% support doesn't mean motor output is equal to your output. Depending on the motor it's about 3-4 times you. Read all about it:
Mission Control - Understanding Support vs Peak Power in Mission Control App v2.0
Hi Specialized I have a 2019 Turbo Levo. I'm wanting clarification of Support vs Peak Power plse. Have read forum answers where I can and I think I've established that at 100% Support and 100% Peak Power, with a 500w battery, say rider input of 100 watts then bike will deliver 320w (3.2 x...
