Bluetooth Does not reconnect without cycling phone

I usually loose the phone connection a couple of times a day. Often my fault for having the phone and watch too far apart. My issue is the only way I have found to reconnect, is to power off my phone and then power it on again. Just firing up the Garmin App does not do it. The phone is an Android Moto 4G. I am currently running the 4.53 beta, but I had the same issue with 4.5 With my Edge 830, it just seems to reconnect once it is in range again.

I'm having the same issue with 4.5, although occasionally the phone will reconnect if I close & then re-open the app. Most of the time it has required a phone restart (iPhone).

I've moved this thread to the GC Mobile Android forum for better visibility. Also, please see this post for some troubleshooting tips: Sync / Connection Troubleshooting Guide

As this thread has been moved, I wish to add that this problem is with a Vivoactive 4S. I have since found that if I turn off Bluetooth on the phone and then turn it on again, the watch reconnects. Not ideal, but better than cycling power on the phone. I will continue to explore what is going on.

Thanks for the update. Let us know how it goes. I assume you've already tried trux's troubleshooting guide?
