Nexus 6, M preview and Bluetooth.

I have a fenix 3 and a nexus 6 and before I installed the m preview Bluetooth worked flawless. But after that I only gets a connection for a few seconds, mabey a sync but not all the time. My phone still works perfect with my car and with my Bose soundbar so I think the problem is in the android app. Because if I go to Bluetooth in the phone the fenix is there. But the app can't find it.

    You shouldn't be seeing the Fenix 3 in the list of bluetooth devices in the Android Bluetooth screen. If you are, then you need to unpair the device from Android and setup the device through the Garmin Connect Mobile app only.

    First though, I suggest you download Garmin Express http://software.garmin.com/en-US/express.html, and attach the Fenix to your computer using a USB cable. Install the latest firmware onto the Fenix. Allow Express to sync (upload all the files from the Fenix to Garmin Connect). << This is so the app won't have to do this once it it repaired/setup.

    1. Unpair Fenix from Android Bluetooth Settings screen
    2. Ignore any dialogs asking you to repair.
    3. Turn off bluetooth on the Fenix.
    4. Reboot the phone.
    5. Turn on bluetooth on the Fenix.
    6. Launch GCM, open the sliding drawer menu, choose "Devices". Press the Fenix 3 in the list. Press "Add this Device". If it is not listed, press the "+" icon in the actionbar, and find the Fenix.
    7. Setup the device (if you used Express above, the sync phase should be quick).
    8. Now the app and the Fenix 3 should work together nicely.
    9. Go to Android Bluetooth Settings. You should NOT see the Fenix in the list.
