[KNOWN ISSUE] Some rowing activities are importing showing speed in mph/kph instead of meters

Hello ​@h-nry 

Thanks for posting about this. We are aware of this issue and our Team is investigating. Sorry that’s happening. As a workaround for now, we recommend editing the activity using the full edit function instead of using Quick Edit. We will update this thread when we have more information on this issue.

This is still an issue.  My activity is captured using a garmin forerunner 255 and pushed to android strava.  It shows as meters and /500m splits then is saved as miles and total activity time.  It’s frustrating.

This is still an issue using quick edit 

I’ve had this problem using Strava for Android also!

I’m the developer of the CrewNerd app for rowing & paddling, and some of my customers are seeing the same thing. Most uploads show the correct units, but some people are seeing km and /km for distance and pace. For customers who see this, it seems to fail consistently.

Ik hate that new quick edit thing. It pops out of nowhere when your navigating through activities and destroys the pace for rowing. Useless feature.

Can I please be able to turn it off?

This continues to be an issue whether using quick edit or advanced edit on the mobile app. Sounds like editing the activity directly (instead of through the pop-up) is ok, but I will have to confirm. Editing through desktop is fine.

Can confirm that this continues to be an issue when editing Rowing activities using the standard “Edit Activity” option on the Android App (not quick edit). Activity data is initially shown correctly, after an edit (even just changing the “who can view” rights) the data presentation is converted to an incorrect format.

To get back to correct “Rowing” data presentation you have to edit the activity, change to an alternative type eg “Run”, save the activity, edit the activity again, change type back to “Rowing” and the data is then presented correctly again.

​@Stremit , can confirm this works. Good find! Just did it this (after trying a standard activity edit which did not work properly). Annoying, but at least there is a workaround that doesn’t require editing on desktop.

Kudos goes to ​@arc88 who first found the workaround 👍

This is still an issue, and is very frustrating for the customers who are impacted. Can we get an update on the investigation?

Hello, this issue has been reported for over 6 months without any correction.

We pay a monthly subscription to benefit from Strava's features > it would be more than appreciated to have the necessary fixes on this type of issue quickly...

​@Jane As noted, members and collaborators (CrewNerd) have reported this issue for over 6 months. Can the Strava development team provide an update on when the Quick Edit feature will properly maintain pace and distance from imported data? A clear timeline is needed. If this isn’t corrected soon, I will need to cancel my membership—since I use Strava primarily for rowing, the current data issues make it unusable compared to CrewNerd.

Seriously, fix this.  This is silly. 

I recently started rowing again after a two-year hiatus. This issue did not exist the last time I rowed two years ago. Thankfully, after doing a Google search, I found this thread that explains the issue and the workaround. The workaround works. But having this issue linger around for at least 6 months is ridiculous! I am a paid subscriber also and I dislike that quick edit feature and would love to be able to turn it off! Now knowing that it is causing this issue with recording rowing activities, I dislike the quick edit feature even more! Please fix this issue and give us the ability to turn off quick edit pop-ups!

Agree and the workaround is a PITA.  Action please.
