How can I make GC to stop automatically uploading activities. I found nothing in the app settings itself and disabled background update in IOS settings.
Thx for your response.
If understood correctly from the thread you mention it is a bug.
Switching Bluetooth of is currently no option, as I need the phone notifications. Maybe the GCM communication is made via the BT profile and phone notification via the BTE profile. So maybe I can just remove the device from the appropriate list.

No, it means Garmin has decided that auto-upload remains enabled in Garmin Connect Mobile instead of being a user-selectable option, as of version 3.5 (which was a few minor versions ago). A design/policy decision, as opposed to an unintended fault in the programming (i.e. “bug”).

You misunderstood me. I meant disabling Internet access on your mobile device when you open the Garmin Connect Mobile app (which makes it pretty useless), and nothing to do with Bluetooth.
as I need the phone notifications.
As far as I'm aware, the Garmin Connect Mobile does not need to be open on the mobile device for smartphone notifications to work on the watch. The app (as opposed to the device) certainly does not need to be connected to the cloud-based Garmin Connect service for the notifications to work.
You could also try turning off mobile data in the iOS settings and see if that is what you want. It will stop Garmin Connect Mobile talking to the Garmin servers altogether.

That I already tried and it works. BUT as soon as your phone connects to your wireless lan at home it starts syncronization.
It not about saving data transfer. I am using another software to store my activities locally and not like to upload it to any cloud. Even I did all my privacy settings I am not going to trust Garmin for that in any case. Especially when you keep ther software competence in mind.
I.e. it could be very easy to determine the location of your flat/house. When you now quickly to a review about your typical activity times, it is easy to pick some timeframe when you are very likely not at home. Great - half way done for a burglar.
On the other side I need GCM. I need to configure some stuff on the device, I need it to do use/download CIQ.
I could live with situation to activate Internet access only in case of that need be. But as soon as it will activate it, it will upload everything currently remaining on my Edge.
So it would force to delete the protocol upfront before starting any action with GCM.
