Glitches in recorded activities

I have a Pixel 3 Android phone and my Strava app frequently stops recording during activities. I've given the app all of the permissions I can find. Friends using the app to record the same activity don't seem to have this issue. I've tried to reach out to customer service but can't get past their totally unhelpful bot. Any suggestions?

[Help] How to get step count information during walking or running activities?

I couldn't find any relevant field in the API request for "/activities/{id}", but cycling activities have cadence information. How can I display the step count? (My Strava app shows this information)

off line use of maps seems impossible (?!?)

I have a back up android phone (no sim) that I like too use as an off line map on gravel rides.I used to have my downloaded routes (using wifi) with global heatmap and the back-to-facing-north compass-button. I would combine it with a “real compass to check if I was on the path, that I thought, and if I lost my way or got uncertain the heatmap helped a lot to read the layout of paths in forests so that I could identify my location and get back on track. Same features were useful if I changed plans and wanted to ride an improvised route.This doesn't appear to work as well as it did some time ago:one thing: The compass-button has disappeared (there's a separate topic that goes two months back). It's critical” to know north on the map, and since it rotates quite easily...I don't have to explain.another thing: a week ago or so when I accessed my downloaded maps off line the heatmap wasn't with it any longer. That was dissapointing. I found a workaround, still, though, with the compass func

Apple Watch on a scooter (non-electric)

Hi!I recently picked up a non-electric scooter from Decathlon so I can save some time on walks while still getting some movement in, instead of going lazy with an electric scooter.I'm looking for a workout type (preferably in Strava) that would roughly match the calorie calculation, while also logging my heart rate, speed/distance and GPS route in to my Apple Health/Fitness apps. I was trying to find a list that shows which workouts log what, but can't find that for either the Apple workout app or Strava.I can't imagine I'm the only one looking for this, what are you all using for this to get the data I mentioned earlier?While we're at it; I went stand up paddleboarding yesterday, it didn't log a route/speed for me. Does anyone here know if that is to be expected?Thanks!

[KNOWN ISSUE] Zoom is broken while editing a route on Mobile App with waypoint selected

While editing a route when a waypoint is already selected to be moved, if I pinch to zoom I'm immediately zoomed way out such that my waypoint is in the ocean and I'm viewing the entirety of the US and Mexico. At that point I can't even zoom back in. Seems zoom just isn't supported while moving a waypoint. This is made worse by the fact that if I zoomed in before moving a waypoint, when I select a waypoint for moving, I'm zoomed out slightly by what seems like a minimum zoom factor. This is making it extremely hard to edit a map on mobile. Strava for Android version 358.12.

How do you cope with winter?

Hi All,Just wondering how people cope with winter?   If you cycling you add mudguards, change tyres, change bike?Personally I add mudguards to my Roubaix but if it gets really horrid I change the wheel set on my trusty CAAD X gravel bike so that can use an Al frame rather than carbon.  I do everything on 28mm tyres so my 25mm based Bianchi gets put away till spring.

Update activity webhook returns wrong sport type

Hey there! I’ve noticed something a bit odd with the update activity webhook. It seems to be reporting the wrong sport type when updating it. Let me give you a few examples: If I try to update the sport type from “Run” to “Mountain Bike Ride,” the webhook just reports “Ride” instead of “Mountain Bike Ride.” Similarly, if I try to update the sport type from “Alpine Ski” to “Trail Run,” the webhook just reports “Run” instead of “Trail Run.” It seems like for variations of the same sport type (like “Run” and “Trail Run” or “Ride” and “Mountain Bike Ride”), the webhook always ends up reporting the base sport type. Is this a known issue? I’d love to know if there’s a fix for this.

How to keep a Strava segment updated if the trail line changes?

On my local hill, the MTB trails have been maintained and upgraded over the years, i.e. got their lines slightly changed and features added. Hence, the existing Strava segments and leaderboards aren't relevant anymore because the trails are now different, often longer. How should one go about this? Add new segments on top of the existing ones? Will this make a mess? How could the old segments be removed (not sure I can find their creators and make them do it)? Many thanks!

Unable to distinguish road rides and gravel rides in bulk export (missing data)

The activity type field in the activities.csv file is “Bike” for both road rides and gravel rides, so the distinction is essentially lost. The activities.csv file should include a “sport type” field (matching the API), which supports values like “GravelRide.” As it stands, users are unable to obtain a faithful copy of their data in bulk.
