ERG to LEVEL on the fly

Equipment

Hi
Is there a quick way to switch erg to level and back again whilst still riding using an Android phone? Currently I have to pause the workout before the settings symbol will appear, go to levels, change what I want and then resume the ride, not very convenient especially if a few changes are needed. I have noticed in my searches on this that there are a few shortcut options for pc/laptop users but any shortcuts for phone users please?

Just a thought but what about a Bluetooth keyboard that controls the android?

I know there are folks that do this with their tablets. Not sure if the shortcuts are baked in to the android app though. If you can borrow one, it’d be worth testing.

Edit: moved the topic to Equipment (from Training)

Edit 2: a quick search in the forums suggests this might not work. It seems the shortcuts were built for desktop apps. Maybe Sir @reid.weber can weigh in?

That’s frustrating. On iOS, you sometimes have to tap around on the screen a few times to get the gear icon to appear, but you don’t have to pause.

On iOS, iPad and iPhone you can use a Bluetooth keyboard and use the shortcuts. ESC key for Erg dnd numbers for levels.

On my Android (11) device, tapping the screen makes the settings icon appear. I can then bring up the menu and change settings whilst the workout still runs.

I don’t know if that varies by device.

I agree though that it’s not as convient as the hotkeys I use in Windows.
