On my Galaxy S20+ running Android 10 I had to go to Settings -> Apps -> Connect -> Appear on top.

I think that essentially does the same thing as what you said. Thank you.

In the Samsung S20 Android version 10, the App setting is in >Settings>Apps , then select the elipses drop down from the upper right, >Special access then select >Draw over other apps. Find Connect and make sure it is enabled.

For me : ..( Samsung A50 , Android 10 )

Go to/click on the Android settings wheel, then click on 'Apps' , then click on 'Connect ' app from the list of apps, scroll to the 'Advanced' section and choose /click on 'Appear on top ' then slide the 'Allow permission ' button.

Thanks a lot from Spain. I've got an Instinct and now I can find it. Since I had changed from Samsung to Xiaomi I'd lost that functions. This forum works better than the original customer service.

A suggestion for people who have enabled all permissions and are still having problems: if you go to Settings -> Apps -> Connect -> Permissions, you will NOT see ALL permissions for the app, only basic permissions. Make sure "Allow background activity" is set on in Settings -> Apps -> Connect -> Battery (mine can't be disabled, but that may be a function of my specific Android version and distribution). Also, go to Settings -> Apps and hit the three-dot menu and select "Special access" or "Special permissions" - this has all of the advanced permissions settings that are not necessarily displayed in each app's specific entry. Try enabling anything Connect doesn't have enabled there to see if that resolves the problem.

I do not have your device to to make tests.

My view is that while installing the Garmin application is not requesting the needed device permissions for it to work properly. There could also be other incompatibilities. The Garmin application needs to be updated. Garmin needs to test the application on as many devices and Android versions as possible.

Same problem with my Galaxy Pixel 2XL - what gives? I've granted ALL permissions and still nothing.

I have an S10 also gave all permissions and can't get it to work. Any further suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I've been having trouble with it disconnecting when I stop at a gas station and walk away from the bike. I have an S9 and will give this a try.

Thanks

None of these helping. I have Samsung Galaxy A5. Stopped working some weeks/months ago. I have given to Connect all possible permissions. Any clue anyone?

Thanks your msg gave me the hint. On my Note 10+ I needed "APPEAR ON TOP" set to ON. That fixed it.

This is what worked for me on Samsung Galaxy 10 with Android 10:

Settings -> Apps -. Connect -> Appear on top - set it to ON.
