Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update
- Thread starter Garmin
- Start date
I have updated mine and haven’t had any issues. Even logged 65 shots with the BB gun club and didn’t miss a one in the basement of the building.
I’m still curious. Was yours rifle mounted and has it always been? I think you already said it was the same this time as always before.
Reason I ask is that I think it couldn’t hurt to dig down a bit as to if there’s a pattern in some way or not. That could influence a bug correction if @Garmin is following.
For whatever reason (hoping it wasn't because of the last update) my Garmin missed 4 shots out of 50 shots. 2 of those were for a ladder test too which I really needed.
Attached to the rifle? I only miss shots when it’s attached. So i don’t attach it anymore.
I do not mount mine on the rifle. It sits roughly to left of my bipod legs and before never had any issue even shooting a little left or right not having unit perfect. Today huge difference I might of had it a little to the left than usual. Some that were missed was uphill......... never had that issue before
Seems like I read somewhere that updated units were doing ok with 22lr and slower, just missing centerfire shots (?).
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO UPDATE (and I can’t imagine who would right now), close out the app (completely) on your phone and it should stop the cue to update. A friend of mine accidentally hit OK when it cued him for the update because he was just hitting OK repeatedly as you normally do when you first turn it on. He didn’t see it and unknowingly OK’d the update. Yep, started missing shots after that.
Doing load development. Fired 46 rnds from two different rifles and no shots were missed.
I did have an issue where when uploaded to my iphone all was good but when I forced an update to icloud, then to my ipad, one of my sessions became corrupted and was empty on the ipad. I was editing the names of all the sessions on the ipad and this in turn caused the version on my iphone to be corrupted as well. Fortunately I had screenshotted it.
This is the first time that I have had any issues of any kind with data loss.

I am shooting on Tuesday and will see how it does. But we need another update that works 100% if physically positioned and shots spaced out correctly timewise.
Mine missed 13 out of 60 shots with v3.30 a couple of weekends ago. With v3.32 last weekend it picked up all but 1 shot out of 50.
Something strange happened on the 1 shot it did not pick up. On the 3rd shot of a session the unit did not pick up the shot and closed the session. That session including the 2 previous shots also did not appear in the history and I thought they were lost. However when I synced to the app later that session and those two shots were included so in the end I only lost the data for the one shot. Never had that happen before so it seems there might still be a bug of some sort.
I will add that I would love to be able to either reopen a session or combine sessions in the app as I often take multiple rifles out and rotate through them to allow for cooling. Currently I have to combine data from multiple sessions in excel.

I wonder if Garmin actually test the unit after update, instead of just visual program update.
I’m sure that there were some quick tests, but it’s a trade-off. Do they rush the update to keep people using them and retain costumers or do they take their time and field test the update in all sorts of conditions on different rifles and ranges, which might take weeks?
I would choose the first, but then work like mad to do a better update with full testing completed before the loss of too much customer base.
Now, as a larger corporation they may not move that fast. I suppose that we shall see.
I also wonder if Garmin is listening/reading to this and actually working on a solution to fix their own mess...cannot be that hard to rework the faulty code.
Actually, their software test department should already have a suite of regression tests...many/most automated... to validate that point releases/patches work and don't break anything else....or at least they should if they don't have their head completely up their ass.

Show of hands: how many who have upgraded would jump at the chance if they’d just allow you to reload v3.27 (before the disastrous update)?
It would seem simpler to me to just re-release 3.27, let everyone get back on solid ground, and then do a thorough testing of the “fixed” update before releasing it.

It would be a great idea but I bet the engineers think it’s the best update in the world and believe every one else is an idiot and is messing something up. It’s never their fault.
Just back from the range and my Zero has the latest update. It was actually logging the shooter next to me during my session.
It was quite apparent as I was shooting 308 and the shooter next to me was shooting 223, the velocities were quite obvious.
It also seems to have missed one shot, which I attribute to the chrono picking up the adjoining shooter shots.

v3.27 MASTER RACE
Lol! Man, I dodged a bullet there!
How tf did they mess up the golden child so bad with a simple series of updates? I hope you guys are reporting your issues somehow.

Next question is how long until the "new, improved" unit gets released? So that all the whiners can give Garmin $700 this time?
Maybe there is method to their madness...
