[BUG REPORT] Activity time on WearOS

So I'm using Strava to track my activities in the gym, but I'm having a problem. I use a Galaxy Watch 7 with WearOS. When it syncs the activity the ending time goes as the start time and then calculates the ending time by the activity time. So if I do a session of 1h30 that ends at 6 pm, it goes to Strava as starting at 6 pm and ending 7h30pm. That is a problem as Strava doesn't have a treadmill option, so I use Samsung Health or Google Fit to track that, but when it logs the treadmill into Health or Google Fit after Strava syncs with those, the weight lift and treadmill appear as in a superposition and only count one of those activities. So basically Im asking if there's any way for the activity on the Watch syncs using the real start time or a easy way to edit that that doesn't involve the desktop and 3rd part websites

Galaxy Watch4 and Strava

My Watch4 used to work perfectly with Strava app but, for about a year now, the Strava app won't find a GPS signal.  I can run Strava on my phone just fine, and routes work well, but there is no heart rate data coming from the Watch4.  Any idea how to fix this?  I've deleted the app and reinstalled it numerous times to no avail.  Strava tech support originally said that there would be an update to fix this, then they stopped responding.Many thanks

Strava on Samsung Watch now uploading to Strava

I completed a 4km afternoon run today on my samsung watch using strava and it did not upload. There's no unsynced activities and I've tried logging out and back into strava on my phone and watch. I've also restarted both devices. How do I get this activity uploaded or is it gone forever.

Eine Hochgeladene Aktivität wird nicht unter Meine Aktivitäten angezeigt/An activity doesn't appear

Ich habe eine Aktivität manuell hochgeladen das der Wahoo Element während der fahrt abgestürzt ist und die Stecke über Wahoo nicht Synchronisiert werden kann. Diese Aktivität wird aber nicht unter Meine Aktivitäten angezeigt. Versuche ich die GPX Datei aber erneut hochzuladen bekomme ich eine Fehlermeldung mit dem Hinweis das es sich um ein Duplikat handelt. Da sind dann meine angaben zu Name und verwendeten Fahrrad auch alle korrekt. Irgendwie ist die also Gespeichert, sie wird aber nicht bei den Aktivitäten angezeigt und nicht für die Fitnessauswertung oder die Trainingsbelastung berücksichtigt.  TRANSLATION: I uploaded an activity manually, but the Wahoo Element crashed during the ride and the route could not be synchronized via Wahoo. This activity is not displayed under My Activities. If I try to upload the GPX file again, I get an error message saying that it is a duplicate. My details about name and bike used are all correct. So somehow it is saved, but it is not displ

Dawn Patrol heart rate data

I record surf sessions with Dawn Patrol. Dawn Patrol recently began directly uploading to Strava, and these sessions reflect in my activities. That’s great!The issue: Dawn Patrol also records heart rate data, but this data is not reflecting in the Strava activities uploaded from Dawn Patrol. Am I missing something? I couldn’t find anything addressing this issue on Strava or Dawn Patrol customer support.

Higher Strava distance than Garmin

I have a Garmin Forerunner 745 and a Fenix 7s, both of them display the exact same distance when I run, but Strava always shows 200m extra distance when I log the activity on Strava directly without the watch. I have tried different courses, different locations, different speeds, sometimes with stopping in between, others with a continuous run, still Strava GPS records around 200m more than Garmin GPS. Why? It is so frustrating 😭

Strava doesn’t sync heart rate to Apple Health/Fitness

I sync runs from Stryd to Fitness and it shows heart rate. I track outdoor bike tours with my Apple Watch and the HR shows also up in Fitness (of course). However, I track indoor cycling with ICtrainer and it successfully syncs to Strava incl HR but the sync of these sessions from Strava to Fitness are coming with HR data. I don’t understand how this is even possible and I checked all kind of permissions guides.

Apple Watch isn’t always syncing with Strava

I do several workouts a day most days. Lately I’ve been having issues with Strava syncing all of them. I usually do it shortly after my workout. I’ve been having to manually add my workouts. Notching to fix the issue. There is also no detectable pattern of when or what exercise it will not sync. For example, I go for a lunch run it will sync that workout. I go to the gym in the evening and I do a rowing  and also a weight training workout. It will sync one of the workouts but not the other. It’s very frustrating. Other days it will sync all of the workouts without issue. I’ve tried: Logging out and logging back in numerous times. Deleting and reinstalling the app a couple times in the iPhone Removed and added back Apple health/watch permissions. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app on my Apple Watches.

Apple Watch “Manual Upload Required” notification

I occasionally get the following notification, not consistently but it seems to appear sometimes when I record a workout on my Apple Watch (in the native workout app) without my phone, or if my phone/watch are on airplane mode without internet access:If I click on the notification, I am taken to a screen like this in the Strava app:From here, I can just tap Import to pull the missing workouts into the Strava app and it works fine. However, the notification doesn’t always appear, and I cannot find any way to access this page directly within the app. Is there a simple workaround, or am I missing the way to access this page? I’ve looked everywhere and it does not seem to be in the app unless I click directly through the notification.

wrong pace apple watch

I have encountered a problem when running with my apple watch. The pace time per kilometer is way slower than if I would track the time with my phone. Also I have a Strava Subscription and I feel like when tracking with my apple watch it also tracks the average pace and not each kilometer on its own. Does any one know hpw ti fix this

Installation file (.apk) for wearOS 2.xx

Hi everyone,unfortunately Strava has ended the support for older smart watches with Wear OS 2.xx.(Older? Hm... almost all smart watches except the new Samsung watches 😖)I am using a Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS with wearOs 2.38 but the strava has still worked fine.But I had to reset my watch because of a new cell phone.Now I want to re-install also the strava app on my watch but I can't get the old strava app in the play store and I don't know any other source where I can download the installation-file.I am very disappointed. I bought the chargeable membership because of the good usability, but now I can't use it anymore.I don't need any support from strava for the app, but I want to use the old app like I did in the past two years.Dear Community:Can anyone please send me the .apk or can tell me how to install the old strava app on my ticwatch again?Thanks a lot and best regardsDirk

HR Zones on Apple Watch

Hello,  I am new to Strava and trying to figure out if the premium version is worth it. I have previously used Nike Run Club. A couple of questions I need help with.. 1. can you view the heart rate zones on your Apple Watch whilst you are running? I know you can see the data after. Is it possible to see the time spent in each zone on Strava Apple Watch? 2. can you only see current pace if you have the premium version?

Apple Watch Summary not matching App Summary

This has happened a few times during my 8km lunch run at work.Basically during the whole run my Apple watch will say avg. pace: 5:45 per KM and also when finishing the run it says the same on the summary on the watch. But when I look at the summary on my iPhone it says 5:30 avg. pace per KM.Another thing is also that is will say 5:41 elapsed avg pace. but I never pause the run or actually stop (except once or twice for 1-2 seconds for cars at crosswalks). So everything feels off right now, the HR, the pace, the elapsed time.- Apple Watch SE- No auto-pause- Not manually pausing- iPhone is with me during the run and connected with Bluetooth to my watch.

Persistent Syncing Issue with Garmin Forerunner 245

Hello, I am facing an issue with syncing my Garmin Forerunner 245 to Strava recently. When  I try to attempt to upload my activities, I am getting error code 503, indicating 'Service Unavailable'. This problem emerged around a week ago and has persisted despite my efforts to resolve it. I have tried restarting both my Garmin watch and the Strava app, reinstalled the app, and verified my internet connection, which appears stable. Even after this , the problem not resolved . I have checked https://communityhub.strava.com/t5/strava-features-chat/bd-p/strava-features-chat-rpa discussions but still need help .   Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!🙂
