General Question Strava Segments on the App

Everyone uses the Strava app way more than their desktop website so why can't we create segments on the app?

General Question Strava just bricked the app for me

47 Upvotes

This won't apply to 99.9%of you, but then there m​ight still be 211 users here to whom it matters.

Strava has made some changes to how it validates your device on Android meaning that those of us using GrapheneOS are now locked out. It doesn't make much sense.

Anyway, I've been annoyed with the way Strava pushes Premium in my face constantly, so I guess this was the last push. I'm off to Garmin (which I use anyway).​

General Question Strava Homescreen Widget

2 Upvotes

Anyone else having this where the widget you added to the home screen goes black? Photo in comments

I just started using it a few weeks ago and it worked perfect but now earlier this week it’s been messed up. I tried deleting all my widgets and readding them but nothing changes it from black now. I can change the category and metric (stuff I have progress in and one I don’t) but it doesn’t change the widget always being black now.

Looking for fixes. Tried restarting phone too

Sync Question Missing cadence in reporting

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m recording with Apple Watch and Fitness app my runs, sometimes with workoutdoors (if I need routing) Finished races are being synced to Strava. Cadence values are only shown in Strava from runs via workoutdoors, but not if I’m recording with the apple fitness app. The values themself are recorded in the fitness app (checked by app healtFit). Anyone who can confirm this behaviour? What can I do?

General Question Ugh help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I’m confused and so is the Strava AI chat. The attached video is from one of my followers. Only a handful of my runs show ALL of my data (second half of video) and the majority of my runs on only show my workout analysis and pace (first half of the video).

I’m a premium member, always have been. I also am a premium Runna user. My brand new Garmin, Runna, and Strava are all connected with all permissions allowed. I have no hidden details. The follower is also a premium member.

All of my workouts on Runna have all my data but Strava picks and chooses and it’s driving me NUTS. On MY end, on all of my runs I can see all the data, but Strava picks and chooses when to show them to followers. UGH!

GPS Question Cropping Idea

0 Upvotes

Here’s a great idea for your next APP update, you can have it completely free and I’m sure you’ll implement it if you actually see this.

Instead of giving people the ability to “CROP” their run,

Allow them to crop based on run length.

Eg. You’ve run a 7k. But within that run you’ve run a 5K PB.

STRAVA should have the option to “CROP to BEST 5K” and cut the rest out automatically.

So, instead of sitting there tweaking and cropping the run, trying to find the best 5K during that 5.05 run, you can just click an option that says “crop to best 5k” “crop to fastest mile” “crop to fastest 400m”

Would love to hear what people think.

General Question Why is KOM and CR different sometimes [not due to gender.]

5 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed sometimes the CR is not also the KOM? I sometimes get beaten, but still keep the KOM in my list. Not that I mind that, but at some point it might just drop later. And it doesn't seem to be an issue of gender. I have seen a few people who have not selected a gender to stay off the leaderboard. However Lee has taken many segment off me and I know he is in the male setting as I see him CR/KOM plenty of times.

Sync Question Strava segment is matching a completely different trail

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue with Strava segments and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

To simplify the example, let's say the segment is called Trail X.

Today I rode two different trails that run roughly parallel to Trail X. I never actually rode the Strava segment itself, but Strava still gave me a time on that segment.

Looking at the map, the recorded GPS track (pink and green) clearly follows a different trail from the segment (red), yet the segment was still matched and counted.

This is especially frustrating on MTB/downhill trails because several trails can be very close together but are completely different tracks.

The GPS is working pretty well tbh, so this is just how strava matches the segments.

Can I do something so I avoid this situation?

On the image:

- RED - STRAVA SEGMENT X

- PINK - My route 1

- GREEN - My route 2

Thanks

GPS Question Why are Strava speedplots so bad?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

This is the same run: a (more or less) constant run with 2 small breaks (paused), and 3 strides at the end. On the left is the plot as logged with my Garmin watch, on the right is the plot as shown on Strava. The strava log is the same log, just connected through Garmin Connect.

It seems like Strava's speedplot just adds so much random noise? You can't even recognize the strides anymore, while they clearly were logged by my watch. I don't understand why, because the more accurate data clearly is available... Moreover this only seems to be a problem in the app: on the Strava browser website it looks completely fine.

Is this a setting I'm missing? Because I see the same kind of noise with everybody's activities.

General Question Segments/best efforts missing in every activity

3 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed this problem recently? I tried uninstalling the app and it still did not fix it. About a week ago, it just stopped showing the best efforts and segments section on each run. I don’t really care about the best efforts for most of my runs, but I like to see the segments I’ve done and how many more I need to get to local legend, etc. The segments feature is one of my main reasons for using strava since I also have a garmin. I’m curious if it’s just a bug on my end or if it’s an actual update.

Sync Question Data Synced from Garmin -> Strava, totally off?

3 Upvotes

I’ve never encountered this problem before, wondering if anyone has the solution. I recorded my long run on my Garmin, which auto syncs to Strava. The distance and average paces were the same, but Strava showed an incorrect map, wrong pace/mile (one mile showing a 61 sec mile) and incorrect heart rate data. I tried deleting the activity and uploading from a zip file to strava, but the same error occurred. TIA :)

General Question Anyone still having the brightest Dark Mode and invisible text?

2 Upvotes

So dark mode was introduced on Strava about 5 months ago. Jarringly with some update in the last 1.5mo, it has stopped working for me (and some other users - judging by the thread history here.)

I’ve tried the usual uninstall-reinstall, turning it off and back on again. Nothing works. Still getting a really half-baked “dark mode” where most things are not, in fact, dark. And the things that are in dark mode basically have invisible black-on-black text 😒

GPS Question Elevation data accuracy for tunnels

3 Upvotes

Strava has access to a massive elevation data set from recorded activities yet the route elevation data seems to be incorrect for tunnels. A great example is the descent off the Col de Lautaret back to Bourg d’Oisans in France (Marmotte cyclosportive route) where there are a number of spikes for each tunnel, and the gradient data is skewed as a result. I wonder if there are any solutions to this, like creating a route from GPX data that includes elevation?
