Bluetooth Pairing Conflict! – Cateye Cycling Review

9/30/2017: I lost my Strada Smart. Had it for a long time. Had it's nuances, but rarely lost connection. Bought a Pandrone Smart. Initially, it seemed to work fine, just like the Strada. Then I noticed it started to randomly lose connection with my iPhone (iOS 10.2). Then after only about 5 rides or so, it would not stay connected to the phone more than 10 secs. It would connect, then disconnect and you would have to do the 2-button reset on the Pandrone to get any response (Pandrone would think it was still connected ... "Ready"). I tried everything, including fresh batteries, removing all other bike bluetooth devices in the app, cold boot of phone, and finally a re-installation of the Cateye app. Nothing worked. Then I thought about something that was different with the Pandrone vs the Strada. When the Pandone pairs to the phone, it would pair BOTH to the app AND to iOS. That was the problem. There was a conflict. So I just removed the iOS bluetooth device ("forget this device") and tried again. Bingo. The ony problem is EVERY TIME you connect the Pandrone, iOS asks if it can pair. You have to "cancel" the request or else the conflicts will return. Can someone please fix this?? 3/21/15: Need to add Tire Circumference option of 29x2.2 (2298mm) or allow manual entry. 3/3/15: PLEASE FIX THE STRAVA UPLOAD!! DATA IS INCORRECT. STRAVA TECH SUPPORT VERIFIED API UPLOAD IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. The app in general does the job, but there are issues with the data upload to Strava and TrainingPeaks. The Strava upload is almost useless … power is not uploaded and HR and cadence values are off. The TrainingPeaks upload gets the basic sensor data right, but the zones don't upload.
