Problem With Garmin Xero Update 03/21/25

[6.5 forever]

Garmin has a app called Shot View. The app makes the Garmin Zero a complete tool. I use blue tooth to download data to my electronics. You are missing out if you are not using it.

I just deleted my app till this is resolved

So did I! Thanks!

I've just unpaired my phone with the Garmin. No need to uninstall the app if you stop it communicating with the chronograph.

14 of 61 shots not recorded. 22.95%………

Had one string that only recorded one of the five shots. Glad I was doing a seating depth test and already had my charge weights.

Hey Fellers, dumbass question here but just take my word for the fact that I know less about computers than Davy Crockett did at the time of his death. I have never had any thing on my cell phone about my little Garmin chronograph, the only time I have location or blue tooth turned on my cell phone is when I'm using my powder thrower which is a#3 afx 120. I have a fiber optic cable that runs the WiFi in my shop . My little chronograph has worked perfectly since it came out of the box a year ago, is there any way that it can "jump on" my phone or computer on it's own..... thanks John

Only if you have ever paired the device to a Bluetooth connection and they’re both on at the same time.

Question is, are people reporting the missed shots to Garmin. That's the main reason I upgraded after knowing there was a problem. If you don't report the problem, they may assume it's fine. If this would have happened during product launch, they would only have sold a few.

Agree all of the failures of the Garmin should be reported to the Company so an update/fix could be sent out. I plan to leave the bluetooth connection off and deleted the App from my phone until a fix has been issued.

So just turn off the Bluetooth on my I-phone should take care of it?

Probably so. I also deleted the App as well. My Garmin is working fine as is and I do not want an update to ruin that.

Thank goodness I read this thread yesterday. Went to the range and just turned off connectivity on the Garmin to my phone. Picked up every shot but as another mentioned I deleted a shot off one session and it did not adjust the avg or std dev but that’s a minor issue.
When I got home I had it download the files to the app and it tried to update but cancelled the update till they fix it

My Garmin worked beyond belief directly from the box. I have no idea why it would need to be updated?

Someone will say data storage for tracking SD over time, but if the target looks good, who cares?

I don’t want to sound rude or sour and I’m
SURE I sound both, but this is just a case of should leave well enough alone.

This is a great forum too learn from!

Thank you sir! Unless you program the little chronograph itself it can't hunt up a connection on it's own is the way I'm reading this, thank you guys a bunch... John

You can also go into your Bluetooth settings and select forget device.

I submitted a trouble ticket yesterday. Hopefully I hear back tomorrow.

Don’t have a Garmin but sorry to hear the issues created by software update. Had a flashback to this! Traeger pellet smokers

Thanks for this info.

Seems it’s good to be a dinosaur! Mine works great! I never thought of getting the “ app” or hooking it up to my phone! Good luck everybody
