Garmin Edge 500 autopause

[Warnesy]

Hi All

Hoping someone might have experienced this before themselves and has a ready solution.

My Garmin keeps deciding to autopause, usually after about 45 minutes or so, while i'm riding. Still displaying speed, cadence etc, but for some reason it just won't come of autopause. Even turning it off and on, goes straight back into autopause.

I can turn autopause of and back to normal, but i'm hoping someone might have a clever fix out there.

Cheers
Andrew

Have you offloaded & deleted your ride history? If the memory is full of old ride logs they can go a bit mental.

There is some settings you can adjust. I know you can set the "minimum speed" for autopause (but it should be resuming after you go faster again, so not sure this will help). Maybe there are other settings, but it sounds a little faulty.

This is the biggest problem causer with the Garmins.

Just got a 130 after my 500 screen died from water ingress. Prior to that my 500 was doing all kinds of annoying things, losing rides, losing sensors, sometimes wouldn't turn on or take ages to. Even the small ones with minimal features are not cheap but technology from the 500 versions has improved remarkably. My advice is save for a new one, I tried all the tricks to fix my 500 issues and nothing really worked.
