[SOLVED] Forerunner 220 won't pair with phone.

Hello i have two garmins, one Edge 510 and one Forerunner 220.

The Edge 510 it works like a charm, and connects very well with the phone using the garmin connect.

The problem is the Forerunner 220. Everytime that i try to add the forerunner in the GC, it detects the code on the watch, but after that i always get the message "failed do connect" on the Garmin Connect. And the watch is not paired.

When this will be arrange by Garmin!? This is not a watch of 20 pounds or euros.

    Try this:

    1. Go to your phone's bluetooth settings, and make sure the 230 is not listed as a "paired" device. The 230 should never be listed here. If it is, power off the 230, then unpair the device from this screen.
    2. Download and install http://software.garmin.com/en-US/express.html onto your computer.
    3. Attach the 230 via a USB cable to your computer and run the Garmin Express program.
    4. Install any updates onto the 230.
    5. Disconnect the 230 from the computer.
    6. Launch the mobile app, go to menu > Garmin Devices >press the "+" icon on the top right
    7. Navigate and press on the 230
    8. Power on the 230, set the watch into "pairing mode".
    9. In the mobile app, click "Search For Device".
    10. Report your results please. :)
