issue pairing bluetooth huawei p8lite 2017 and garmin fenix 5x

After last garmin connect mobile updates I had connectivity issues. I have reinstalled garmin connect and now I can not pair my fenix 5x to the huawei p8 lite 2017 smartphone. During pairing phase, codes are continuously generated without completing the connection. On google store play reviews, many users complain about this issue with huawei smartphones after the latest garmin connect updates.
I PURCHASED HUAWEI P8 LITE AFTER HAVE VERIFIED COMPATIBILITY WITH FENIX 5X ON THE GARMIN WEBSITE !!!

    The solution for me is always toremove updates for Google Play Services.

    That will get my Forerunner 235 syncing with my Huawei P10 Lite again. However, then I get sign-in problems with the Play Store, which I eventually can resolve.

    But the syncing problem will return at a later date most likely!

    I have created a thread for this, that hopefully Garmin will notice.
  • Same problem. Huawei P9 lite and Garmin Fenix 5 - an $800 watch that I expect to be fully compatible with my phone as promised in the specs!

    It was working until the beginning of November but not since then.

    I would give my contribute in order to collects all this reclames regarding this issues:
    I have a Huawei P9 lite with Android 7.0 and the last Garmin Connect, and I have the same pairing issue.

    It's very shameful that a brand as Garmin don't fix this problem,
    but
    I had already pay my watch, and I have to keep it.

    Clarify this points I think, for the next feature, a lot of customers will change the watch brand, and maybe only in this way
    GARMIN begin to run for fix this problem. Unfortunately it may be late.

    So, I try to disable all the service like gps, wi.fi and data and try to pairing this watch.

    **Garmin ist sich eines Problems mit Huawei-Geräten bewusst, bei dem Garmin-Geräte nicht mit unseren mobilen Apps gekoppelt werden können. Die Huawei Entwicklungsabteilung hat eine Lösung für das Problem gefunden, welche eine Aktualisierung der Huawei Smartphone Software erfordert. Wir haben um eine schnellstmögliche Veröffentlichung dieses Updates gebeten, zu diesem Zeitpunkt aber noch keine Zusage von Huawei erhalten, wann dieser Fix verfügbar sein wird.

    They think this is the solution to the problem!
    Let's wait for Huawei's solution ...
    Cynical!
  • Issue solved with firmware 7.93beta for fenix 5x.
    Connection between huawei p8lite and fenix 5x is now stable with gps activated too.

    I am having new Huawei P10 Plus pairing problem with fenix 3 (8.3). First it succeeded, but next day it's gone. Maybe because I have changed the device name of the phone?
    After entering the 6-digit code, the phone immediately lists the fenix3 as paired device, while the fenix3 displays "Connecting..." until timeout and then pairing failed and can be retried.
