Mtpixel 2xl moved to Pie this morning. My morning swim is on my watch (Fenix 5s) but does not sync to the phone. Has worked fine for months, so I suspect a problem with Android Pie and Connect. I restarted both devices and get no errors, but no sync.
The theme is that Android Pie brings different improvements to optimize the operation of the battery, these improvements minimize the operation of the App in the background.
I have worked the following:
1.- Forget the Garmin SMARTWACTH 2.- Go to Settings OnePlus 6, specifically to applications and notifications,.... go give all permissions to the app Garmin Conect, Inluso you have to allow this app to make changes to the system. 3.- In Garmin Conect, re-link the smartwatch.
Actually, you don't need to re-link the smartwatch in Garmin Connect.
This worked for me with my FR465M and Nokia 7 Plus with latest Android 9.0 Pie update:
1) On the smartphone, go to Settings => Connected devices => Previously connected devices => Forget the Forerunner device. 2) On the Forerunner, go to Settings => Phone => Pair Phone. 3) On the smartphone, go to Settings => Connected devices => Pair new device. 5) Android will now ask a pin code. The Forerunner shows a 6 digit pin code. Enter the code on your smartphone.
Once the device is connected in Android, open Garmin Connect and it will recognize your device again.
Apart from reinstalling apps... Go to Settings (OP6 Settings) > Bluetooh & device connection > Previously connected devices, enter to Fenix 5 and FORGET the device.
Then go to Garmin Connect and try to link the device.
This has worked for me.
Bye.
Thanks Domella. That worked for me on my Oneplus 6
I just recently upgraded to a Pixel 3 XL running Android N, from the previous Pixel XL and can now no longer pair my F?nix 5x with Garmin Connect App. I have tried all the various tips suggested on this forum, but can't get the connection made.
Has Garmin quality control tested Fenix 5x with Pixel 3 XL? Any confirmation and additional tips will be appreciated.
