Spotify CIQ App not working correctly

iPhone 11, forerunner 645 music, on my home wifi. Randomly works or doesn’t (although for some reason consistently doesn’t when I try to sync playlists/podcasts on Sunday morning for my run), some days ok some not and the issues are with sync not playing. Bluetooth connectivity is annoying but normally works eventually. Errors are totally varied and seemingly random, I get “incorrect password”, “sync failed” at various %s, sometimes stuck on 0%, etc. Sometimes the file appears like it’s there (the “remove” option is there) but it isn’t and clicking again to sync acts as if it isn’t downloaded. Happens with many audio files but I try to download new podcasts each week so is usually those.

Spotify was working 2-3 weeks ago

I am only having problems syncing podcasts. Music syncs without issue.

I am using private home wifi.

Previously I wasn't having any issues downloading podcasts. Music still syncs without issue. I have tried reinstalling the Spotify app, downloading the podcasts in a playlist, reconnecting to the wifi, restarting the wifi, factory resetting the watch and starting over, uninstalling and reinstalling garmin connect on my phone, and keeping the watch plugged in and at 100% battery near the router. None of these have worked. It looks like this thread has been dead for over a year, but seems to be similar issues. Is there any help for this?

I tried several things and I discover what's the main cause of this annoying problem. WiFi 5Ghz doesn't work at all for synching with Spotify and also Amazon Music.

I did one last try connecting to my iPhone's 12 hotspot and checked the "maximize compatibility" option. This option disables 5Ghz Wifi. It finally started to sync my music.

Every router I tried to connect was 5ghz, that's why I was unable to sync.

I disabled 5Gz on my home's WiFi router and it's syncing again.

I received my Vivoactive 4 on 08/02/2021. Spotify will not sync. Wifi and Bluetooth are set up correctly, and I can get Amazon Music to sync.

If there is no fix, I will need to return. It's a shame as everything else works very well.

Using an 1phone 11 pro,

Fenix 6 pro solar

when i had my old watch fenix 6s pro sapphire. 

i've downloaded the app (spotify) on the mobile and installed in on the watch, when i started the add playlist it started syncing but the precentage doesn't move and then it says that sync fail. i've tried to restart the watch, phone, spotify everything and still it doens't sync. 

i've also tried to change connect from 5ghz to 2.4ghz still doesn't work, i've also try to hotspot from my phone and my partners phone and still dosn't work.
