Problem With Garmin Xero Update 03/21/25

[xr650rRider]

Do any of these updates allow me to start a new group with the push of a single button?

Will it know that you've switched from Rifle below 1700 fps? Will it know, your now shooting a bow? Kinda hard to give only 1 button unless you buy a 1 mode version.

Where does it show on the Garmin unit itself on what version it’s on? Thanks.

When you turn it on, go into the settings. Scroll all the way to the bottom and select “about”.

It will show your unit ID and which version of the software it is running, denoted by SW: 3.32.

I just want to start a new group, and keep all the same settings as before. One button press!

I think I finally found it on my Garmin unit under Settngs then About, this gives unit ID. It has on that SW: 3.32, so maybe it did update the unit and the App still shows 3.27.

The app will show the firmware version on the chronograph, AFTER it's allowed to sync. If you disabled bluetooth pairing, then it can't sync and therefore shows the last firmware when it could sync. You should see it turn green/yellow when it's connected.

If you have the pro settings for bullet weight and diagram toggled off. I guess it takes 3 presses now. Owning a Pact unit for years and spending an hour out of every range session trying to get it to work and then finally kicking it over the fence, I find 3 button presses entirely acceptable.

I think I’m doing all of that and app shows it just paired, but app still says 3.27.

That was my thought, but i have tried syncing it numerous times. It shows that it was synced XXXXX minutes ago, but yet the version on the app still shows 3.27 even after going from 3.27 to 3.30 to 3.32 on the unit.

At this point I'm not sure I really care what the app shows...as long as the new update fixes the missed shots issue, but I am curious as to why it won't show correctly in the app.

Yup...same here

Synced 22 hours ago.
On an Iphone under Updates in the app, mine shows Version 3.32 - Up to date.

Just talked to Garmin. No real answers as to why the app wouldn't update to show the new version and allow updating the device through the app as opposed to having to use Garmin Express from a computer.

They suggested trying to power the unit on and off a few times letting it go through the sync cycle (which I tried last night and it did not change anything). If that doesn't work he said you may have to remove the device from the app and re-add the device. Sounds like a bug or glitch in the app maybe. Aside from this minor issue the app functions fine for me in being able to view and/or edit sessions.

The app is obviously getting updates because it updated to 3.30 while I was at the range on Sunday, but yet it still shows 3.27 on my phone...the weird world of technology.

Probably made by the same chyneeze company as the garmin, but almost half the price.

The Garmin is made in Taiwan.

On iOS the new version (3.32) showed in the app after closing/re-opening the app.

Xero seems to be back to normal. Went and shot 5-5 shot groups of 22 K-Hornet and never missed a shot. Synced with app just like normal. With version 3.32 updated via Garmin Express.

.........with chyneez parts, lol

Just checked my Garmin Express and it says there's 1 update available. . . version 3.32.

Now, I guess, I'll see if all is ok now.

Had the same problem on Saturday 3/22/2025, Version 3.3 and I was missing 20% of the shots. However, yesterday 3/24/2025 the device updated again to version 3.32, and no shots were missed. Going again today to verify.

Got my 3.32 update done and re-connected the Shot View App. Hoping it works as it did with the old version.

 

[cg1sears]

Back from the range, and the Garmin recorded all 54 shots. At least Garmin reacted fairly quickly unlike some other brand of radar chronograph.

Yea, that's what I was relating to yesterday in the thread.

I tested version 3.32 today and all is good with it, The garmin tech I spoke to told me to update the Xero through garmin express and not my phone. Shot 50 rounds and it picked up all 50.
