L.T.G Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Ja it was working normal yesterday. ON a different note, I saw something new on my V800, while riding my road bike the screen changed from the normal view (speed, distance, HR) to the next screen showing Altitude, meters climbed, temp.... when I hit a bump, happened a few times and I kept wondering why the thing was showing another screen sometimes....after selecting my normal screen I saw it change again as soon as I went over a small bump.... I don't remember it doing this on my MTB a few days ago. Anyone seen this? Not sure if it has something to do with the tap sensitivity..?Chatted to Polar today, there was a problem with the uploads last week, told me to try syncing again.and yip, as already mentioned, sounds like a tap sensitivity.. same happened to me.
T-Bag68 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Hi guys, I'm doing a 3 day stage ride this weekend, and don't want to take my laptop to charge, what would be my other options...? Is an IPhone charger to strong or weak..? Thanks Glen

Is an IPhone charger to strong or weak..? ThanksGlen The iPhone (iP6) charger works just fine, I recently used it twice to top up my V800 battery charge while I was on holiday. I've also used one of those USB battery pack type chargers but that was only to top up the charge a few times when it was still showing +/- 75% or more charged. T-Bag68 1
SwissVan Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 So apparently this thing now (after last weeks big update) will push notifications from your phone to watch...s'true or not, anyone tried it?

Izak Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Hi Guys I just picked up anew unit from Polar in Midrand. It first started by not wanting to make contact unless you press the charger connection onto the watch.I then started noticing that the cover was separating on the righthand side of the watch. Apparently this is an issue with the battery swelling. So just keep an eye on it. While i was there another guy came in with the same symptoms starting to show on his watch.

While i was there another guy came in with the same symptoms starting to show on his watch. 100% Warranty replacement or did u have to pay something in I've experienced the contact problem when I clip the croc clip on sometimes, so I got into the habit of always cleaning the contact points on the watch with a clean dry cloth / towel, especially after swimming. Will check the cover tonight.... Do u by any chance have pics of the case swelling?
SwissVan Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 Hello fellow V8's hehe... corny i know Ok so does anyone know if it is possible for a person to track another while they are out riding with a polar V800...i.e. can my wiff track me via my v800 / iPhone when i'm out bundu bashing on the zugerberg? You know for safety reasons so she knows where to send the rescue people when i'm a few hrs overdue

You know for safety reasons so she knows where to send the rescue people when i'm a few hrs overdue Don't think so.Why don't she track your phone?
SwissVan Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 Don't think so.Why don't she track your phone? Hello Ma'am,Ja I suppose that's the logical option, just thought it would be cool if she could login to polar flow and see where I am and basic info like speed, HR etc....to see if I'm sleeping or suffering Don't want to install another type of fitness app and seeing we both use polar flow it would make sense to have the flow app

SwissVan Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 Raait..... So polar say it's now availble????Who has done the polar pro trainer conversion to Flow?And how does it work?
HeadDown Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Have been using Polar Flow since I got my V800 about a month ago. First time I've used an online 'logbook' so cannot compare it to anything else. I'm happy so far. SwissVan and MrFine 2
MrFine Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Raait..... So polar say it's now availbleWho has done the polar pro trainer conversion to Flow?And how does it work?Only opened this thread now so maybe you've done it all ready.When in polarpersonaltrainer just go to list view and select 25 training files at a time and upload to flow.Once uploaded it will be highlighted with a green tick.Took me quiet a while.In flow check your profile and all your statistics will be there.I uploaded from 2010 when I started.1716 training sessions.124d7h14m with 49410km done.Surprising how it all adds up.At least I have everything in one place now.

SwissVan Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Does anyone know why sometimes the heart rate display figure changes to a different shade of white compared to other data figures. I've seen it happen a few time where the HR number goes to a less bright / greyish color compared to the other data figures. Like this:
