Muttley Posted March 25, 2021 Share Anyone had issues with ANT+ after latest update? Zwift refused to recognise the trainer thru ANT+, but the native BT worked fine. Done a few rides since the update - barring 1 massive dropout at the end of a 2.5 hour ride, all seems to be ok with my ANT+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HdB Posted March 25, 2021 Share Anyone had issues with ANT+ after latest update? Zwift refused to recognise the trainer thru ANT+, but the native BT worked fine. Yes, since the previous update (March 16) it was a huge struggle to get ANT+ connected.Missed quite a few group rides because it would take 30min+ of fiddling with drivers and different USB ports to get it to work. There was another update released yesterday, and (touch fake wood) so far it connected with no issue again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwift Companion BT bridge didn't work either. Very frustrating since ANT+ has been bullet proof of late. Maybe there's a firmware update on the trainer I haven't checked.

Muttley Posted March 29, 2021 Share https://www.onedayonly.co.za/products/wireless-touch-keyboard-k400-plus-model-920-007145-20210325 - Been using one of these for a few months and the price is great.

Cois Posted April 10, 2021 Share Took the plunge and got a trainer today[emoji3060] Joined up on Zwift. Will do a quick test ride when I receive the trainer next week. I can’t wait to get on the trainer and get some kilometer on the bike. mecheng89, Muttley and Eldron 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the upside when spring begins you'll drill your mates who got winterlazy. Cois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted April 20, 2021 Share https://zwiftinsider.com/hide-the-display-tease/ I wish there was a way to hide my HR data while still keeping the strap on for other recording devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryn Posted April 22, 2021 Share https://zwiftinsider.com/hide-the-display-tease/ I wish there was a way to hide my HR data while still keeping the strap on for other recording devices.Well, I guess you could run an ant+ only chest strap, and run zwift on ble only enabled device, which would do trick. But, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find looking at the heart rate ruins the interval, especially in a Zwift race. Harryn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted April 23, 2021 Share I have been using Zwift for a week now, but man oh man. What a polished piece of turd the product is in reality. I was more off the bike last night struggling with the trainer not connecting to the application. Then it lost the BLE connection to my HRM, then the connection to the cadence sensor. Then the app stopped working on my iPad. Restarted the app. Had to try and connect all the devices again. Got on the bike. Lost connection to the trainer. then I realized that it lost the last trip I did (not much but it was 8km)started up again, lost connection to the trainer and HRM. I was so frustrated that I stopped the suffer fest to get the devices to connect. I am not sure if I am doing anything wrong or if it is just Zwift being a polished turd. And if you are on the FB page of Zwift Riders, the amount of people being unable to connect is also a bit worrying. I might just try and use the Tacx software that came with my trainer and test that to see if that will work. HdB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmorglebot Posted April 23, 2021 Share https://zwiftinsider.com/hide-the-display-tease/ I wish there was a way to hide my HR data while still keeping the strap on for other recording devices. Could you not just unpair the HRM on the Device screen? Otherwise a well placed piece of masking tape will probably do the trick too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persevere and you will get there - it is worth it. I am trying Fulgaz out at the moment and it also has its issues but you do get over them eventually. Good luck.

AllAboutRides Posted April 26, 2021 Share Why is Zwift photos that gets uploaded black / blank? I even tried taking snap shots from the companion app and still black / blank?

milky4130 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Why is Zwift photos that gets uploaded black / blank? I even tried taking snap shots from the companion app and still black / blank? Not that it is important to me but just curious to know why......what device are you using? I used to occasionally get this as well while using my low spec windows laptop. I’ve since started using my Apple TV and no longer get the “black photos”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
