Former Member over 6 years ago

Every day when I connect my forerunner 235 to mobile app it is said "Access required" on my Huawei P Smart
But all notifications are enabled...

Thanks,

Same here, using Xiaomi Mi 9T with Garmin VivoActive 3. It does seem to sync when i have the app connected, but i dont receive any smartphone notifications on my watch.

I get this too - followed by the text "Android notifications have stopped unexpectedly. In order to restore notifications for your Garmin device, you will need to reboot your phone." I do nothing and things…

SOLVED the issue on my phone (mi 9t).

It was under battery saver options. I had to turn of "use adaptive battery"

Maybe your phone has a similar option, it's worth to check it out.

SOLVED the issue on my phone (mi 9t).

It was under battery saver options. I had to turn of "use adaptive battery"

Then go to apps>connect.

Autostart all on
app permission everthing on
Other permissions everything on
battery saver > NO RESTRICTION.

I also did put bluetooth AVRCP version on 1.6 (under developer options).

Then i went to additional settings > privacy> special app permission > notification settings > garmin (ON)

This worked for me and a friend of mine (also on mi 9t)

Maybe your phone has a similar option, it's worth to check it out.

I had to enable option "Write system settings" for the connect app to prevent this from happening. Hope it solves it for you too.

This worked for my mi9

Probably. Just switched from a Pixel 2 to Huawei P30 Pro, and it is immensely time consuming to get all the settings right on the Huawei. Pixel 2, with vanilla android, just worked. No tampering with power settings or notifications. So yes, this is a vendor-specific (Huawei in this case) problem.

Thanks, this also worked on mi mix 3

Still working after 20 days.

All I did was to disable battery optimisation opn the garmin app:

settings

Battery

Battery Optimisation

disable for the Garmin 'Connect' app.

Oneplus 6T - Garmin Vivosmart HR.
