Garmin Connect app broken for Android tablets. Watch won't pair with the 4.75 release

Is the app broken for Android tablets? My watch won't pair with the 4.75 release of the app. Last successful sync was with 4.74.1

I do see the other posts in a related thread and can also see the complaints on the play store that indicate others are having the exact same problem. So I know I am not raising something new here.

But I was just on a chat with support and they said there is no known issue related to tablets. I would liked to know if Garmin is saying that the current version of the app does work with Android tablets (suggesting that I have some hardware problem) or if there is a fix coming. Does anyone have any info here?

Thanks!

I have installed 4.75 on a mobile phone and that worked. It helped me prove that the watch was not broken. With 4.75 on a Samsung tablet with the same android version as the phone it doesnot work. I have…

Same here, my tablet is a Fire. I'd kinda hope Garmin would support it (even though it offers a potential get-out) as Amazon's version of android is just as any mobile phone manufacturer (Samsung et al) does with vanilla android for their products.

Ah, ok. Mine was a shortlived hypothesis!

I think Garmin's lack of response after more than a week is quite pathetic.

since this morning my instinct 2x is no syncing to my pixel 6 pro anymore.

GC 4.75, android 14 with feb. 5th sec update.

it says the phone is connected (in android system and gc), but won't transfer any data.

Same, it pairs but will not connect to the app. I then unpair and try again but get the response "failed to connect"

Does that mean you side-loaded an earlier version on to your tablet?

I talked to support Feb. 2 and again Feb. 6. Same man both times. He said it's an app problem and for me to wait for an email telling me it's been fixed. On Friday he said the app was suspected and an engineer would call Monday but they didn't so I called on Tuesday and happened to get the same guy in the Tucson call center. That's when he told me to wait forca fix.

That is good news, at least they admit an issue but given the thousands of , response is really pathetic.

I never expected this from garmin. This is fitbit style stonewalling.

I have a Vivofit 1 that stopped synching Feb1. Samsung tablet as well as OnePlus Nord 200 phone, neither device will sync or even re-pair with the updated app.
