Garmin Connect ver 2.2 for Android doesn't sync with Fenix 2

Just posted this in the Fenix 2 forum, not sure if I should be posting here instead.

Garmin Connect ver 2.2 on a Motorola Droid Maxx (Android ver 4.4) and Fenix 2 firmware version 3.2. Recorded a new activity on the Fenix and started a manual sync. Managed to establish a Bluetooth connection (Fenix shows as connected in Garmin Connect). Garmin Connect says "syncing with Fenix 2" and Fenix says "sync in progress", but then it gets stuck. After about 5 minutes Garmin Connect gives up and says "sync upload error" and drops the Bluetooth connection. Then it tries to re-establish the connection and sync again, but the same thing happens. Fenix 2 just says "sync in progress" throughout all of this.

I have fenix 2 and sony z1. pairing or syncing does not work at all...
sometimes I manage to get the paired but then a strange pointer occurs on my phone and moves slowly around and starts clicking at random apps...
need to repair all the time but now even close to syncing.. I have the latest software versions on both the app, the phone and the fenix 2... crap

I can pair once, if I break that connection it doesnt connect again. I have delete the connection from my phone, restart my phone, restart the watch and then I can make a new pairing. I have a nexus 5 4.4.4

I'll try the web connect delete and try to sync my Fenix with my Nexus 5 Bluetooth. I also have to repair every time. Nuisance! I'll report back. I presume it means you can either use the app or the web site?

I paired my samsung note3 with my fenix2 - from the mobile main menu, not from the app - then, the MobileConnect App is not able to pair the w
atch! Anyone may help? All the firmware (android 4.4.2 and app release) are updated to the latest versions respectively.

Motorola Maxx Android 4.4.4, Garmin Express v2.2.3. Similar to HONGZIYANG and Casper, I'd have to re-pair the fenix 2 to synch anything. Now, after an update to firmware 3.6. It will not synch at all. I miss my Garmin 410.

Clear the files in the activity folder taken with a fw before 3.30 and try it again.

Worked for me too! Nexus 5 4.4.4, Fenix 2 3.70.

Thanks.

Sony Xperia Z Android 4.4.2, Fenix 2 fw 3.70, Garmin Connect 2.3,

have to pair EVERY time I want to sync. And the sync is VERY VERY VERY slow. If I have not synced for a while, it might take hours.
