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'm having the same issue with my Android phone and my Vivomove Trend. My watch keeps dropping connection with the app. I have to keep installing it as a new device, which works for a day or two, then the same thing again. It's only been the past week.

Same here with Samsung Tab a8 since 4.75. Did try many many times to connect without sucess. Uninstalled and reinstalled Connect unpaired my watch...nothing worked. Good to know that Garmin acknowledged their problem. Waiting for new release.

It appears as if Garmin isn't really interested in fixing this so in your case a refund wiuld be appropriate though it isn't a medical device and should not be relied on for medical information.

If this problem didn’t start on February 1 then it is a different problem.

You are promptly suggesting help for phone users but why Garmin is totally silent on the status of App 4.75 fiasco? Why it is not possible for providing 4.74.1 Version App during your team of Engineers solve the problem with 4.75? Please ask Garmin management to come forward like compassionate human beings.
