Garmin Connect on Android buggy - prevents parallel usage of BT and WLAN!

Hello everyone here,

Since a couple of weeks I have issues with using WLAN on my Sony Xperia Z running Android 5.1.1.

Meanwhile I figured out that it seems that I could not use both, BT and WLAN in parallel. WLAN works fine, when BT is deactivated. But when I activate BT, my phone cannot make any WLAN connection anymore. First I thought that Sony messed the thing up with their latest update on Android 5.1.1 on my Xperia.

Now I figured out that it is not Sony's fault. When I deactivate (=force stop of) the Garmin Connect Mobile App, WLAN and BT work in parallel like a charm on my mobile. Only when I start once the Garmin Connect Mobile App it doesn't work any more.

Now come my questions related to the topic:
  • Has anyone made similar experiences?
  • Has anyone an idea how I could use Garmin Connect Mobile on my phone withpout having the described trouble with BT and WLAN?
  • Has anyone an idea for an alternative app which allows me to sync my Vifofit wristband with Garmin Connect portal and with my mobile phone?


I'm looking forward to any feedback.

Best regards

Bernhard
