GCM Version 4.3

I updated to this latest version today and it works successfully with the Fenix 3 and Vivoactive, both running current firmware, phones running Android 6.0.1. Smart notifications tested: phone calls, voicemail, Outlook email, stock Android text messages, twitter, WhatsApp. Also, both devices synced an activity. TrueUp tweaked the steps to match on F3 and GCM. The link and sync to MFP are also working for me.

The update did not retain all of the Smart Notification settings, so it was necessary to turn some on/off to return to my preferred configuration.

Ok, I also gave it a try to 4.3.
Same error messages, I cannot even configure watch faces: after a cleared cash, I can see the Watch Faces, and change settings. Then a "Saving" dialog appears for 30 sec or so, finally message "error".
If I try to enter the watch faces or any other menu, the new error msg is the usual one:
a long "loading" dialog, then:
"There was an error communicating with your Garmin device".

Besides, the smart notifications stopped working as usual. So reverting back to version 4.1.11. Again :)

Back to 4.1.11, everything works flawless again :)

Renaming a workout (here a Cardio), still changes the calories burned. I don´t know how long it takes to fix such a small issue. Currently i have to rename it on the Garmin website, from there it works well.

I am not really happy, we have to wait another month for an update but never know how many updates it takes until garmin wakes up ;)

Is there a direct email to garmin where i can post my App issues?

I've also experienced this issue and I've got an open support ticket with Garmin about it. I've told them it don't matter if I use a chest HR monitor or just the wrist based sensor. Just renaming the activity dramatically reduces the number of calories burned. Waiting for a response. But they are looking into it.

Oh and in order to log the issue, I filled in their form online for support. But you could just email them at [email][email protected][/email]. This is the email address on all my correspondence to them about this issue. It only happens on Garmin Connect Mobile, as far as I know. Doesn't happen if you rename the activity on Garmin Connect via the web from a PC.

v4.3 seems to work fine here so far with two different phones and watches. The bug where one could not edit "distance" for an Indoor Rowing activity seems to be resolved (yaaay).
