Sole Fitness new 2.3 OS for F85 - Bad design for videos or for background music
I just upgraded my Sole F85 treadmill to version 2.3 (SW: AC00550-52T-02_2.3 - FW/OS: 20211201V10), and I really like the more modern look!
Except for this epic fail of the overlay menu: it's taking so much of the screen estate, can't be hidden, covers part of the movie or of the subtitles, and it's so obvious that I don't think the guys at SOLE FITNESS ever tried using themselves the software they built: they would have noticed this issue immediately!
It should be made possible to move it below the screen, outside of the visible area, or at least reduce the button size, and remove the 9 dots button which is pretty much a copy of the back arrow button!
Also: has anyone found the way to keep the spotify music playing in the background while doing a training and reading the run stats? It only worked once for me and I can't reproduce how I did it. Basically when you click on the arrow or the 9 dots menu it closes spotify and stops the music.
