  • Hi Harris,

     

    I have some tips from that worked for me when I had a similar problem.

     

    This error is due to the Pacer not being switched from USB device to a HID device. You could try uninstalling the Manager (also do a search on the computer for any other miCoach files and remove these) and then perform a Restore to Factory Settings on the Pacer.

     

    The FAQ to this can be found here:

     

    http://forum-micoach.adidas.com/docs/DOC-FAQ-ENG_7

     

    When the Restore is successful the Pacer will tell you to "Sync with PC"

     

    Then reinstall the miCoach Manager from the website.

     

    http://forum-micoach.adidas.com/docs/DOC-DOWNLOAD-ENG_151

     

    While on the website you could also change the coach voice to a different one - i.e to UK or US English (Female) This can be done through Settings>Gear>Pacer>Configure>Narration Voice and then click save.

     

    When the Manager installs it will normally automatically open.

     

    Right click on the miCoach task bar icon and open the Settings - deselect the tick for Automatic Start.

     

    Close the Manager and also exit from on the task bar.

     

    Connect the Pacer - let the Computer recognise the Pacer - when it is recognised - open the Manager and click Synchronise.

     

    This will load to 30% and then tell you that a new Firmware is available - accept this and then wait.

     

    It willl load to 40% and at this stage the update and computer will try to change the device type and will say it is installing drivers - let this happen and don't click on anything. When this process is finished this will then allow the Pacer to finish the download of the firmware which should upgrade to 3.15.

     

    If this doesn't help contact the Customer Support team again and tell them that you tried this.

     

    Good luck

  • same here mate...

     

    tried reseting back to factory default n also reinstall software. Ain't working for me either.

     

    Rgds,

    Sebastian

  • Since update, my Pacer does not auto-sync, I cannot manually sync.

    • Hello everyone,

       

      I faced the same problem today with my pacer, I updated the manager and firmware a week ago and didn't face this problem. Today was my first but luckily I found a solution for it. The solution can be summurized in the following steps.

       

      1. Go to Control Panel > System > Device manager. A window will appear with all connected hardware

       

      2. Connect your pacer. The list will refresh and your pacer will appear under "Human interface device" as two devices "HID-compliant device" and "USB input device". Now here is the problem I faced, when I connect the pacer I found 2 "HID-compliant device" and another 2 "USB input device". See attached picture. The manager software seems like it can't communicate with pacer because there are 2 pacers and it don't know which to sync with.

       

      3. Right click the extra "HID-compliant device" and disable it and then right click the extra "USB input device" and disable it also. If you wonder which one is the real connected pacer and which is fake, if the windows ask for restart then stop this is the connected pacer and go for the other.

       

      4. Restart the manager or disconnect and reconnect the pacer and it should work. This is how it worked for me.

       

      Hope this will work for you too

      • I tried this and although I was able to disable one of the two devices after the updates were installed and the pacer was disconnected itself ( a reboot?) they dissappeared and when it connected again I had the same problem.  But it was worth a shot and something I can report back to support as something extra I tried.

  • Same problem since the last update (error 2100).  Glad I'm not alone with this one.  I've contacted supported and they already gave me a few tips but none of them worked so I await further instructions from them.

  • I can't sync neither why the update make our pacer not working ?

  • Hi there,

     

    I have had similar issues after the update last week. Here what has happened:

     

    Tuesday July 5 - synced miCoach and was forced to update to the new miCoach manager. I was also "asked" if I wanted to download the new firmware; however, the only choce I had was yes, so I didn't really have an option. Update completed and ended in an error. I closed the manager, restarted and was able to sync the miCoach

    Thursday July 7 - setting up my gear to go out for a run and after turning on the miCoach it showed only the green power light and was frozen. I did a reset which worked and I was off for my run. When I came home to sync the data did not appear to sync; however, I found my scheduled Thursday run was synced on Tuesday with my previous run; this was weird. MiCoach would not fully charge on Thursday after nearly 3 hours plugged into the computer. I left it to charge overnight.

    Monday July 11 - setting up my gear for a run and miCoach would not start at all. No power. Tried a reset, nothing. I took it off and left for a run without it. Plugged it in to my computer and it has power and appears to be charging. All previous workouts are still there.

     

    This is 3rd time I have had serious problems with my Pacer after an update. The previous response from the moderator on this thread, to me, contains completely unacceptable steps for the user to go through in an attempt to solve this issue. I think the miCoach team needs to take a serious look at how they are pushing out updates, and solve all of the bugs that come along with them.

     

    I'm sending this same message to the miCoach support team as well in hopes that this is resolved quickly.

     

    Thanks.

    • I'm in for this you are describing exactly my issue!!!

      Thanks vor saving me the time

      • Hi everyone. I posted this in another thread when someone asked about a solution to this issue on the forum and thought I would drop it over here, as well.

         

         

        You're  not likely to find an answer on the forums to this issue as the miCoach  won't address it here. Although, it seems such a serious issue they  should address it here or send an e-mail to all miCoach owners  indicating that they are working on a fix, post haste.

         

        It's  best if you contact the miCoach support team directly to tell them of  your problem. You can do this via one of the following options:

         

        Click  the Feedback link on the miCoach page and send a message through the  website; however, this funtion seems to be "experiencing technical  difficulties", which seems a little too convenient (just sayin).

         

        Send a message to support@micoach.com

         

        Contact them by phone. You can find a local number for your country at the following link:

        http://forum-micoach.adidas.com/docs/DOC-SUPPORT-GLO_1

         

        You may also wish to vent on Twitter at @adidas_micoach

         

        Thanks,

        • Hey guys,

          Sorry we haven't been as active recently in regards to the issues people are having since the new update.

          Like Lucia writes on a similar thread, if you are having an issue, it would be great if you could explain this in as much detail as possible. 

          Then we can give you the help you need.

          Your miCoach Team

          • It's been a week now since I contacted support over this problem and still no solution.  I always tried to answer as quick as I could and provide enough information (I've send numerous error reports generated by the manager).  The last time I heard of them was tuesday afternoon and with the weekend approaching I fear that it'll drag on into next week which I find totally unacceptable for a device I paid good money for.  I don't know what is going over there but I get the impression like they don't have a clue what's happening.

             

            Maybe it's time to look for my nike+ gear which I put away since I got the Micoach pacer.

  • I have been trying to get a fix for 4 days now and still no solution other than to suggest malware on my computer is casuing the drive not to be reognized.  Malware is not the issue I diid a complete scan and tried it on several unrelated computers and none of are able to make the Pacer synch.  Please help us! 

  • I received a reposnse from miCoach support. See my update in another thread here:

     

    http://forum-micoach.adidas.com/message/23386#23386

  • I'm having the same problem - updated the manager, then was prompted to update the firmware, and it got an error part way through and now has a solid green light.

     

    I followed the steps to reset the device (with the pin in the back) and that worked.  However every time it tries to upgrade the firmware to 3.15 it failes the same way and goes back to the solid green light.

     

    I can't do the steps of using the Settings tab in the manager to reset the device, it tells me the device does not support that operation.

     

    Frustrating.

  • long shot but: I also get this error 2100 and I'm wondering if this could be related to your browser maybe? My standard browser is opera and miCoach does not like that at all. In order to access my micoach page I need to switch to IE.

    I don't know how this firmware upgrade works and what kind of ressources it uses during the process but it might be a problem with the standard browser at least for the weird error 2100...

    just thinking

    • Hi Ebisu,

      You’re right about the web browser.  Please see this link for further info on web browser requirements for miCoach:

      http://forum-micoach.adidas.com/docs/DOC-FAQ-ENG_23

      If you’re getting the error 2100, please try these steps:

      For Windows:

      1. Do not RTFS.

      2. Unplug Pacer and plug back in

      3. Exit the Manager

      4. Remove the Pacer from the Device Manager. Note: Right click on the device driver and uninstall/delete it completely from the Window Device Manager.

      5. Unplug the Pacer

      6. Restart the computer

      7. Again make sure you exit the Manager if it automatically starts

      8. Plug in the Pacer

      9. Let the computer fully install

      10. Can restart the computer if asked, but do not need to do so

      11. Start the Manager and see if this fixes the problem

      For Mac:

      1. Do not RTFS.

      2. Unplug Pacer and plug back in

      3. Exit the Manager

      4. Restart the computer

      5. Start the Manager and see if this fixes the problem

      Hope that helps. If you continue to get the error 2100 after trying the above steps, please contact support informing them of your operating system, the error code, when the error appeared and the steps which you have already tried.  They will get back in touch with you.

    • Hi,

       

      I think you' re close but IMHO it's not only the webbrowser but also the OS.  I have Windows 7 64 bits and switched from Firefox to Internet Explorer (albeit version 9) and still got the same result/error.  However when I booted up a (virtual) XP with service pack 3 the pacer got detected and after I installed the manager I got different information about the pacer and it installed the update as I had no choice.  Very, very weird.  If it were to be Windows 7 related shame on Adidas for but having a proper version for Windows 7 (64 bits).

      • hmm might be worth a shot, trying to update on my wifes computer. will do that tomorrow... thanks for the idea! I'll let you know how it went. 

      • aaaand (not sure if this even surprises me anymore) it failed again! tried a different computer with winXP 32-bit sp3 and got naught. but again thanks for the idea, it was worth a shot.

        • Too bad it didn't work for you.  I'll edit this post later today or tomorrow and attach everything I received from support.  You probably have had the same files I did but you never.  I got a mail from support today asking if the pacer was working and I had to reply no but also 'congratulated' them on not finding a solution two weeks after I first reported it and many others with me.

           

          --

          here are the files I promised.  Al files with a .txt extension should renamed so they have a .exe extension.  The only one that 'worked' was a frmt.exe which generates the filesystem. The others didn't work.

  • Just wanted to mention what solved my problem, hoping it will help others.

     

    Working on Windows XP SP-3

     

    I had to re-install Windows last week and went through the whole party: reformat hard drive, reinstall OS, upgrade OS, reintall programs

    My Pacer went back to its own self right there

     

    So the trick might be:

    - do not upgrade

    - un-install old version, with some un-installer like Revo Uninstaller (making sure the reg entries are removed)

    - install completely fresh

     

    Hope that helps somebody!

  • I had no problems with the pacer, ever. I don't know if mine is luckier amongst produced pacers, but I can tell you what I did:

     

    First, I updated and installed the new manager software, then I connect my pacer, synced it and that's about it.

    Maybe I was lucky because I updated the manager first. I also do not use different USB ports every time. I use the same on for my iPod, miCoach, phone, and all other deviced that are not always connected. For mouse, printer etc, I use other ports. I think that is important, because once I did put it in a different one and I didn't want to work very well. And some USB ports on your computer are different, not being for some devices (my printer works slower on one of mine ports, because of something that poped in a bubble and said about, can't remember what exactly).
    But that's your hardware problem, not pacer. If you are careful enough, I think that everything can work great. I hear people complaining about the low quality of the pacer, buttons falling off, cables with open wires, bad batteries.. I don't know, probably there are some issues, no device is perfect, but you have to be careful with electronics, it's only fall/water/dust/pull/tear/sweat/ resistant to some point! Also, you know how OS can make perfectly fine working devices perform like crap, so you to consider that too.

    My OS is Win 7 Ultimate 32bit, had Vista Home 32bit too, with pacer syncing just fine. I hope you all will fix your problems and countinue with your workouts!

    • Oh thanks a lot. I knew it! Both my computers are broken and I'm using the wrong USB ports as well! If the USB port is not mechanically broken, it does not matter into which one you plug your devices because usually they all run on the same controller anyway (feel free to correct me on this or specify further). Funny enough I have been using the same port anyway and it didn't change a thing.

       

      Here's some food for thought:

      All the users complaining here had no problems until the firmware update (none at all). And after that suddenly it's broken for many, many people (I know 4 people with a micoach personally and all of them have issues). Again: Everything fine - update - nothing works. And you tell me that my (and everyone else’s) rigs are faulty? Sorry but that's a joke.

       

      And here's another one: remember the brilliant firmware update after which many, many people were suddenly running in the red-zone with 130bpm in the free-training-mode? That was also a very common issue after Adidas released new firmware.

       

      I'm not saying that buttons are falling off and cables are broken. I'm just saying that they should make sure they firmware works *before* actually going live with it. It's by far not the first time that a new firmware messes up things.

       

      Thanks for your sympathies and your effort to help but don't make the mistake to think that all people complaining here have broken computers and regularly throw their miCoaches on the floor and into lakes.

      • There's no need to be sarcastic at all, especially because I'm the user too, not micoach representative. All USB ports are not the same. I have 3xHiSpeed 2.0 USB ports, and one regular port or how ever it is called. The difference was "noticed" by my printer, when I plugged it in on that particular port, not the 3x other high speed ones. That was just an example. While USB means universal serial bus, and is universal, when I plug in the pacer in the USB port that I was using for mouse only, pacer couldn't be recognized. It was charging, but I couldn't sync. So I tend to use the same port I previously used just for devices I don't always have plugged in. Try it by yourself, when you plug in your pacer for the first time in one of the usb ports, your computer should recognize it, then the baloon will pop up with information about installing new hardaware and etc...next time, if you plugg it in the same USB port, it won't display that information again, it will be recognized instantly. But, if you plugg it in some other port, the same process with installing will repeat, just a bit faster this time, but will happen. And, if, maybe you do that and "register" your micoach pacer to different port for a few times, then you plug in your ipod,iphone,ipad,walkman,some other brand devices etc...and your computer can get "confused" for using various different devices on same USB ports. Not saying that is the reason you're having problems, just saying that this has happened to me, so I was trying to help someone. YOu should try to eliminate all possible reasons if you want to get the best and quickest answer to your problem.
        Reading micoach forum I have a feeling everyone is always nagging about something, barely any compliments and support for the team. It looks as if micoach is useless, not working and etc.. It can't be all that bad, or why are you still using it then?!
        In my opinion,  that's not true. It does what the product is made for, and I find pacer to be my great running and cycling support. Could there be improvments, yes, and I'm looking forward to seeing them, more like feature improvements, not complete redesign. I have a feeling that you guys want it to run instead of you, or clean your house too:)
        When something doesn't work, I know how frustating it can be, we all come here and just "scream" and demand solution. Some times it takes time to figure out what's wrong. The always red zone in free mode affected ALL of us, was fixed, but this obviously doesn't affect all of us, so MAYBE, I'm justy saying MAYBE it's not just the firmware update. I'm using the same firmware update, micoachh manager etc..and my device works perfectly. So, am I lucky? Maybe, but people had problems that didn't affect you or me before, so if it works for me, than this could be a more isolated case. Your pacer could be faulty, your computer could or I don't know, the support will help I guess. But, please, don't scream at me, I just wanted to help. Considering the cables and wires, well, I just don't believe that buttons can fall off that easily and naked wires appear if you are careful enough and give some love to your pacer device;)
        That wasn't intented to heart anyoone's feelings or is against someone in particular. Just mine 2 cents
        • Trust me; I was not sarcastic at all.

           

          I use my micoach because I like it but I cannot use it now. That's a fact. And I didn't change anything on my rig and everything else is working fine (same for many). That's a fact as well. So whatever adidas changed in the new firmware, prevents my computer and my micoach from working together. That leads me to the conclusion that this is not my fault and yet I keep trying to fix it by ruling out countless of other factors, while trying to update.

           

          I'm happy for you that everything works smooth. Enjoy it by all means. Just don't tell us paying customers to have patience. I bought this thing to use it and not to spend days to figure out while it's not working.

           

          Here's a proposition for adidas: let us choose if we want to update to a new firmware or not. I'll go back to the old firmware and shut my mouth.

           

          (and just one last thing: this is the help forum. so people come here and post/rant in order to get help. if I feel like discussing the greatness of the micoach, I can post in the talk forum. posts like: 'hey people in need for help. for me everything works alright so it has to be your fault' are just not helpful in my opinion).

          • Hi Ebisu as much as I agree with you on this discussion with petarxxx. But do not feed the trolls they will grow!

            I hope our pacers will work properly after adidas forces another update on us !

             

            This is the reply to my mail I wrote to the adidas support.

             

            Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie  Ärger mit Ihrem Pacer haben. Das ist wirklich sehr ungewöhnlich.

            Wir möchten uns aufrichtig für diese Unannehmlichkeiten entschuldigen und Ihnen versichern, dass unsere Techniker bereits an einer Lösung arbeiten.

            Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns darauf aufmerksam gemacht haben. 

             

            My translation:

            We apologize that you have trouble with your Pacer. This is really rare.

            We apologize deeply for the inconvenience and ensure that our technicians are working on a solution

            Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

             

            I replied that they should look in their support forums and that it seems not to be unusual at all.

            Adidas used to have a brilliant support for myCoach in germany. I was really puzzled to receive this mail ridiculing my problem.

             

            I love my Pacer and the way it coaches therefore, as I wrote above, I hope they will fix it in the near future.

            At the moment I can use it after charging for halve an hour, prior to the run. I'll not hear the results since it crashes after I flick the bottom but I still can sync.

            If they don't fix it and too many users getting restless, social media will spread word and diminish their sales of their pushed mi program. Trust me Adidas is very aware off the situation when it comes to connecting the brand to quality. If not they will simply loose reputation and future revenue.

             

            I think it does help to mail the issues as well as posting them here in the forum! So keep on going!

             

            Oh by the way they are searching for a manager for miCoach at the moment! seriously!

            • Obviously I was feeding the troll as well

               

              great running everyone!

              • Yeah I'll just ignore the troll downstairs. Seemingly for some people 100 euro is not noteworthy.

                 

                Anyway, fresh of the phone with the German micoach support (returned home early today in order to reach them during their office hour) and here's the kicker: "it seems that your pacer is broken. Please wrap it up, bring it to next adidas store (glad I have a flagship store in my area) and tell them that your pacer is not working. It seems as if the firmware update damaged something in your pacer. Also tell them that you called us and that we recommend an exchange."

                 

                Just for the sake of trolling: phone-support assumes that the firmware update damaged my pacer to an irreparable point.

                • Not for once have I insulted you in any way, so please, show some basic manners. All I wanted to say is that YOUR device might be faulty, not indicating on whose fault. As you see, your device is "broken", is it due to "wrong" computer use/new firmware, I don't know nor I care.
                  Since ALL OF US have the same product you have, same firmware, and NOT all of us have broken pacers, there is a possibility that your was faulty in the begining OR you could have done something wrong, unintensionally of course. Firmware can't phisically destroy the pacer, all it needs is to be formated and reformated with micoach software again. All I wanted to say is that 100€ is not something worth loosing time and your nervs, since you all know that it will be fixed, all you need is a little patience. If you have warranty, than why the bitchiness?!

                   

                  To end this, althou you may not see, my intentions were good and I'll take this as a misunderstanding that happens online.

                  I read a Chinese smashed his Lamborghini because it couldn't be repared. I don't think all Lamborghinis are bad cars, he was just unlucky and has the right to be mad of course. I really wish you all the best and good luck with the pacer.

                • and to prove my point: went to the flagship store and they gave me a brand new pacer (nice guys there!), went home, charged fully, drooled over the all three LEDs red bug for a few minutes, synched, firmware update: BAM! works.

                   

                  cut a long story short: firmware update fried my last pacer, new one works just fine.

                  I can only encourage you guys with the persisting problems: visit your nearest micoach vendors, slam it on the table and demand a new one (that's also what the phone-support recommended to me)

  • There's probably something wrong with combination of new firmware, your pacer and your pc, since it's not affecting all micoach users.

    I would be mad probably if affected me, but please, calm down, probably they can't figure it out why it isn't working for some of you.
    I suggest you send as many e-mails as possible, that way they will realize the problems you are having. But threatening with some mass media/social network is childish a bit;) It doesn't work for a few days and you already want to kill it, come on! I would like Adidas to continue to work on this device and website and everything, not discontinue the product. And please stop with the price tags, all of us payed 120-140€ for the device, why is everyone acting like its 1400000€

    It will work, do you really think they will leave it this way?! When you make a mistake on your job or somewhere, don't you find it counter-productive to be told by everybody they will tell everyone on the internet how ignorant you were in order to punish you. Everyone can make a mistake!

      • after all my horror stories my wife finally decided to upgrade the firmware of her pacer on her computer (winXP - the same that failed for me). worked perfectly fine. I decided to give it another shot on this computer as well, after fully recharging the pacer (phone support said to do that, before upgrading firmware. it was fully charged the first time but whatever). error 2100. seems more and more as if my coach just got fried during the upgrade process. brilliant!

    • my pacer seems broken too, will get new pacer asap, dont want to pay much time to fix it.
