Hi!
I've got a brand new Garmin Forerunner 220 with the newest firmware (updated with the Garmin Express Windows program) and a Google/LG Nexus 4 Android phone with Android 4.4.4. Pairing the FR220 with the phone always only works for once, but doesn't re-establish a connection later.
So, I turn on Bluetooth on the phone and on the FR220. In the Garmin Connect Mobile App it shows my FR220 and that it is waiting to connect. On the FR220 I select "pair", then it shows a 4-digit number. After a few seconds, on the phone, the same number is displayed and I can pair the two. Then all new activities are synchronized (which takes a few seconds). Everything perfect. Then I switch off Bluetooth on both devices to save energy.
The next day I activate Bluetooth on the phone and on FR220. On the FR220 I do NOT select "pair", because the two already should know each other. Both devices have Bluetooth enabled and searching for each other. But they do not connect. :-(
To re-establish a Bluetooth connection, I have to go through the whole pairing procedure again.
Unfortunately Garmin Express doesn't work on Linux, therefore I have to rely on Bluetooth to sync the FR220 (the first Garmin Express stuff was done on a friends PC, and I don't want to bother him after every activity). This makes the problem even worse.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks
