Oregon 700 will no longer connect to garmin connect app

I've been using the app with my Oregon for a few years now, without any issues. But since 20/9/2022, my Oregon 700 will no longer sync with the android garmin connect app.

I tried to reconnect the device by removing the Bluetooth link in the phone and the device. I then removed the device from the app. Then I tried to reconnect the device from scratch, but the installation fails. I do get the confirmation of the passcode but after a while I get the message that the connection failed.

I already tried to remove and reinstall the app on the phone and re-installing the latest firmware on the device. Nothing seems to help.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Installing the previous version 4.58.1 as suggested works. I was able to connect the device.

The issue is related to the latest 4.59 update. Hopefully the next update will fix this.

Thanks for the hel…

Does the syncing over the USB cable with Garmin Express also fail, or does it work?

Yes, garmin express works. Also no issue to connect with basecamp

You could perhaps try installing an older version of the app (for example from apk-mirror.com), to exclude there is an issue with the current version. Or you could try it with another phone, to exclude an OS update or change of settings is the culprit.

Please report it to the Support. I am not sure whether Garmin is aware of the issue at all. Until now, I did not see any other complaint here on the forum, so if nobody reports it, it is not very likely it would change in the next release.
