Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

Wow - 2 rides in a row with NO issues. That is a record so far. Let's hope it keeps going. John - would love to hear your thoughts on what has been going on with the unit and why it might be working now. I have not done anything different. I just want to make sure it continues to work and that I do...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

John, This is getting a just a tad bit frustrating. I think this thread shows a pretty good amount of detail of the issues I've been having. I am following the instructions as well. I'm pretty sure I've got the POWERPOD_STATUS_Light.pdf committed to memory, and that is no small feat. After each ride...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

Yes, I am downloading files into Isaac and delete the files on the PowerPod upon download. But why does it constantly need a hard reset? If you read back through the thread, it appears that I am actually doing a bunch of hard resets. And prior to this ride I did a hard reset then charged it the nigh...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

This weekend, my PowerPod worked well in terms of one ride file per actual ride, and no blinking lights during the ride. . . BUT, on my first ride of the weekend, it would not respond to button press to start things up (YES, it was fully charged). I tried 5 times pressing the button and nothing - no...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

1) Make sure your PP is charged. It will automatically terminate ride files when battery is low (this prevents possible loss of the entire ride file) 2) Flashing red/green means the device needs a cal ride. See instructions 3) If you release the button prior to press-hold for full 12 seconds, you w...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

Ok, thanks.

Any thoughts on the other issues/questions in the post right before that one?

I'll be giving it a shot again this weekend, but not hopeful since I've done hard resets multiple times over a period of weeks and continue to have odd activity while riding.

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

Just connected my PowerPod to my computer again (this time at the office) and it started flashing green light. My bike and all sensors are 7 miles away from me. What gives?

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

Any more ideas on this? Why was the ride file terminating and starting a new ride file while in the middle of a ride? Why did the PowerPod create 9 ride files for one ride? Why is the PowerPod flashing red/green during the entire ride even though connected properly? I've done multiple hard resets to...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

Ok, so I just dug deeper into my Strava file and analyzed the segment I discussed above - when the powerpod was reading my speed dropping below 4.5mph and shut off at 5.63 miles, I was actually doing between 7.8 and 9.5mph. Also in digging into the Strava file further, I have watts being reported th...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

As far as the lights when connected to my computer - my bike is in the garage and my computer and powerpod are at the other end of our house. As far as the ride file showing such slow speed - I don't know why it would show I was going that slow, other than for a couple seconds when slowing to a stop...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

As a side note, I've also had some odd LED activity when connecting it to my computer at times. I've had it flash green for several seconds before turning off, and I've also had it solid green for a few seconds before turning off. None of these possibilities are listed on the POWERPOD_STATUS_LIGHT.p...

Re: PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

I've done multiple hard resets on the unit over the past several weeks as I've been trying to figure it out. Attached is the first of the nine ride files that PowerPod created from my ride on Monday night. Thank you for helping me figure this out. . .

PowerPod v3 Issues - Is It The Button Issue?

I've been having ongoing issues with my PowerPod since receiving it in the middle of August. I feel like I have more rides with issues than not. The past couple weeks I've been more focused on checking the connection on my Wahoo Bolt opposed to assuming I know what's happening based on a display of ...

Re: PP showing 0 Watts on wahoo elemnt bolt

My new PowerPod v3 seems to turn itself off when I break for less than 5 minutes (certainly not the 20 minutes mentioned above). Is there a way to fix this? And turning it back on once I'm riding only leads to all kinds of issues - including yesterday's ride that ended up recording 1 ride as 4 or 5 ...
