So, I updated to GCM 2.7.3 on my Samsung Galaxy Note II, hoping it may be able to resolve the Bluetooth reconnection problem I had been having (as outlined in my earlier thread: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?185150-Vivosmart-new-troubles-after-2-7-2-Connect-Mobile-update).
But still I have the same problem. If the phone switches off, or the app is exited, the Bluetooth disconnects and will not reconnect unless the vivosmart is removed and re-paired in the app.
I own numerous pieces of Garmin hardware (Fish finder, handheld GPS units, Edge 305 + 510 and now a Vivosmart) and it appears that the quality of the operation of these items has taken a significant drop in the recent past. Both my most recent purchases (the Edge 510 and the Vivosmart) have both been problematic since day 1.
This is getting RIDICULOUS! How can someone market an integrated environment when most of the time the key item provided data cannot even connect to it!
Get your act together Garmin - I had been considering getting a Virb Elite for my bike, but think I'll be steering clear of Garmin hardware in future!
A long time and recently very disappointed Garmin customer :mad:
