Ask & Troubleshoot

When we upload elliptical activity data to Strava as FIT file with cadence data, the cadence data is not visible in the Strava app. As soon as the activity type is changed to for example 'walking' in the Strava app, the cadence graph appears for the activity. So the cadence data is present in Strava, but it seems that by default it won't show for elliptical activities. Is this something you could consider to add? Other fitness apps show cadence data with the elliptical activities.

Hello,When I try to get a list of athlete activities, I get the following error: { "message": "Authorization Error", "errors": [ { "resource": "AccessToken", "field": "activity:read_permission", "code": "missing" } ] } Endpoint: https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities?before=1689465600&after=1690070400&page=1&per_page=30 read,read_all,activity:read,activity:read_allI haven't worked on my app in a few months, but am picking it back up to get things finalized and cannot figure this issue out. Everything in the docs seems the same and this setup was working before. Any help is apprecia

Hi everyone,As mentioned here in the documentation https://developers.strava.com/docs/uploads/part Device Mapping, strava maintains an official UNIQUE_DEVICE_NAME list for each wearable device.Where can we find this list?especially for Xiaomi: Xiaomi Smart Band 7, Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro, Xiaomi Smart Band 8, Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro, etc... ?Thank you

It adds a waypoint every time I click on the map. But if I plan a route on a complicated trail network and want to get the route exactly the way I want I need to click on the map a lot. That isn't different from how the route planning worked before. But now it inserts waypoint at every point I clicked at the map. But what's next? - I can't rename those waypoints. Names don't stick.- I can't remove those waypoints because that triggers the reroute. That's not what I want. - Waypoints don't propagate to Garmin. That was the main feature I expected.Basically, these are not true waypoints. They are more like anchor points that Strava calls waypoints. Waypoint is what I want to be notified about during notification. For example Garmin devices allow tracking distance remaining or ETA to the next waypoint. That's not what Strava provides with this update. In fact, as I can tell nothing has really changed other than entering a point by searching for it on the map.

Recently, I've noticed my Split Pace and distance to be very off. At first, I thought it was my Apple Watch series 6 that was providing inaccurate data.  But today I ran on the treadmill where my watch and treadmill provided consistent data at a consistent pace, whereas when I uploaded to Strava, the pacing was all over the place by 20-30 seconds off of what the watch and treadmill were telling me. The total distance in the splits was also off by 400 meters, but the overall summary total distance looked accurate. The treadmill run / loading the activity onto Strava looks like it confirms the fact that my Strava has been grossly inaccurate when uploading the data off the watch. Anyone else experiencing this issue and any tips to fix?

When I look at the activities of other people, I see whether someone has improved segment times, set a top 10 time, set a KOM time or whether this person has become a local legend of a segment.When I look at my own activities, I only see a trophy on the web with the number of my improved performances and whether I have driven a KOM or top 10 time. In the App, instead of the trophy, gold/silver and/or bronze medals of improved segment times are visible. If I become a local legend for a segment, I cannot see this.People who follow me will see this. They clearly see "Sander has just become the Local Legend of segment X".Now I can see in the app and on the website under my profile that I am a Local Legend on several segments, but why is that not visible to me in the activity where I became this, while followers do see it?Why is the laurel crown not visible next to the KOM, top 10 and medailles icons?

Ahoj , proč se mi trasa v mapě ukazuje černě , nikoliv červeně? Poté nikdo mapu nevidí , díky  TRANSLATION: Hi, why does the route appear black on the map, not red? After that, no one can see the map, thanks

I CANNOT PUT MY GROUP LINK IN MY PROFILE BIO, WHY SO?

Due to the different disciplines (mtb, road, gravel) and the different vehicles (e-bike, bike), it would be useful and coherent if the segment ranking were shown by filtering the results based on the type of activity (mountain biking, pedaling, gravel) and excluding (always) the performance collected through the use of electric or pedal-assisted bicycles to avoid distorting the results.

Hi to all!!!!Please, from last versión many updates around privacy have been added in a good way (I think) but I miss some privacy in the profile page with the option “only me” to hide the annual kilometres to my followers/contacts….. securely some similar request has already uploaded, but I haven’t abled find it within the forum, forgive the inconvenience if it has been so.thanks and best regards.

I received an email that I got two CRs, but in reality I only got one. The other was a PR and outside of the top 10. Also the name of the user and the name of the segment are prefixed with numbers.I love the app by the way. Keep going 🙂

Hi, In achievements:  where users get medals and personal bests etc. There are still miles (1/2 miles, 1 mile, 2 miles) even if users have "Metric" selected as the default in the settings. Now, users who selected metrics should not be forced to see miles anywhere in the app and vice versa. World standards for running are as follows: 400 meters. 800 meters. 1500 meters. 3000 meters etc. (100m and 200m for sprint)

In this graph/chart at the bottom showing pace and heart rate, can you tell what is the pace and what is the heart rate? If the answer is 'no', then please add legends on the left and right axis accordingly to it please. Thank you.

It would be great to be able to compare all your Strava segments directly with someone on your friends list so you could see which segments you had in common. (This used to be supported by a 3rd party app so its doable). Cyclists are very competitive this would be a great addition. It would make it much easier to see what segments you have in common so you can try and beat their time. I think when this feature stopped working on the 3rd party app it was stated that it was a privacy issue. This seems strange as you only have people on your friends list that you want and you can block people ìf needed

Hello! I am using Strava for recording windsurfing sessions (amongst others). Although I have selected “metric”, the speed is measured in kn. How can I switch to either kmh or mph? Thanks, Aris

I’ve enabled flyby in the settings, via mobile app and tried via URL sit but I can’t get it to work?

Hi 👋 Your api server endpoint router rules for fetching the authenticated athlete:`GET https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete`Also allows`GET https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete.umbrella`and other variations of `athlete.*` return the athlete. I haven't tried this with other endpoints, nor the overall implications other than odd behavior.Just thought you should know in case you wanted to update this behavior to 404 or something.

Hello,  I have to create a webhook so that strava sends me the information of the athletes' activities to my app in nestjs and I don't know where to start.I appreciate your recommendations.

I use Map my Run to record my runs and it integrates to Apple Health perfectly.  Is there a way for this to also link to stava so I don't have to manually download the TCX file and upload it?  When I use Apple Workout from my watch to record my runs it integrates to Strava perfectly  Ideally, I don't have to manually move files nor utilize 2 different running apps at the same time. Any thoughts?

HiI have reinstalled my Strava app on my Samsung Gear Sport AB91 SM-R600 .This because I got a new non-Samsung cell phone and Samsung forced me to reinstall it Strava App on Watch. Tizen OS  4.0.0 7 Knox 2.3.1 TIMZ 3.0.0At first boot of the Strava  app (1.7.24) I see that I need to type in 4 digits, for authentication.On my mobile phone ( having connected the Samsung Galaxy Wearble App) the app redirected to  https://watch.samsung.strava.com/ which shows:{"message": "Internal server error"}Why is this msg seen?Also is there anywhere else I can get those 4 digits from ? ( from another than the web site that respond HTTP500) .So that I can continue to use Strava on my Samsung Watch Gear.I have no problem with any other Samsung apps*  on my cell phone, nor on my Gear Watch.I only have problem with the Strava app, on the Gear Watch.*(nor account problems after creating a password - because there were none initially as it was created on google initially)Thanks

I have the band and Mi Fitness app on my iphone 11 Pro. Strava has authorised access . Yet when i start a run and click on the Strava Heart icon it cannot find my Smart Band 7 and so my heart rate is not recorded with my run data.how to solve this ? 

Strava has a lot of great information about my activities, so I'd love to see it use that information to create adaptive training plans.I'd like to be able to do things like:Tell Strava that this is an easy run, so warn me if my heart rate gets too high.I want to increase my efficiency (run faster for same effort/heart rate): use AI to figure this out.I want to increase my endurance for this distance (or where I tell it which route I want to run), again use AI to figure this outEncourage me in appropriate ways during these runsI don't want to have to use other apps (that don't have my long Strava history) to do this.
