AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Thanks, John, I'll reach out to them and see what the deal is.

I'm 100% positive I never accidentally hard reset it, and that should not affect the distance in the filename, should it?

Now, I know the battery often goes completely flat if it's unused for a few days, could that be resetting the unit?

I recently had my PowerPod fixed to correct a weak battery and loose charging terminal. This unit seems to be rapidly discharging when idle. If I charge it after my ride, then let it sit for a week, it will conk out after about 3 hours, less if it is chilly. Even worse, if it sits for 2 weeks, it's ...

Wahoo seems to have added some features to their flagship GPS devices to better integrate with PowerPod. There seems to be some battery monitoring that may or may not be working right, and also a Calibrate button. I Googled all this, but found nothing, so I'm hoping the community here can point me t...

I have a number of rides that, despite being many miles, say 0_miles in the filename. Any idea why that is?

When using my PowerPod with the Roam, I am lately getting a warning that the PowerPod has low battery. Is anyone else getting this? It happens even if I have just charged the PowerPod.

I use a Wahoo ELEMNT. I take it that the Wahoo does not show power level....

Is there an Android app that can communicate with the PowerPod BLE?

OK, I've done that.

On the same subject, how can I tell what the battery level of the PowerPod is? Basically, it seems to be either on or dead, charging or not, which makes it hard to know what state it is really in if the USB port is iffy.

I've had my PP for just over two years, and I'm having lots of issues charging and connecting to Isaac. Is anyone else having issues with the micro USB plug on these units? I've tried many cables and fiddling and wiggling, but I can't maintain a connection to the PP. Two years actually not very long...

Hrm, I attached three files, but only one showed up, and it was in the wrong spot.

I did not do a hard reset, but it kind of seems that way. The odd part is the profile is still loaded on the device, but time settings and distance estimates were not working. I'd assume that a ride without a profile would be very problematic, but I'm also assuming the hard reset would take out the ...

I've not been downloading ride data over the winter as I was not in training mode. This spring I got back into the saddle, and did a number of training baseline rides. I downloaded the ride data for review so I could set goals for this year, and could not make heads or tails of the ride files. Issue...

Most unusual in 13 years? There should be some kind of award! Thanks for looking into this, BTW, John. Much appreciated! A zone 2 ride with steady HR is the AeT fitness testing method Joel Friel has been using since pre-2007, and therefore, it is the one Training Peaks uses also, so that is not so u...

Sorry, John, missed the last part of your reply. Unless I'm misinterpreting your statement, it seems like you are saying the PP is somewhat useless on windy days. What I mean is, there is a very standard method of determining aerobic fitness, and it is to go on a ride with a steady HR in zone 2. You...

Agreed, the wind numbers are large, but really, anyone who has ever lived or ridden in the midwest would call these middlin' winds. A fairly steady 20 mph quartering wind. 1) Huge is relative. 20 mph is strong but not unusual by any standard. 2) I have already done the out and back ride, and calibra...

Hi all, first post. New PowerPod user, went for a calibration ride on Weds, then a 40 mile club ride, and all seemed well with the PowerPod. Just went for an AeT ride, a VERY flat 3 mile loop, five laps. Kept my heart rate at 137 very nicely. Since the HR was so even, I would have expected the power...
