Fenix 3 hates all forms of syncing

I've a Fenix 3 which after an activity (third today and it seems to hate multiple activities in a day, same as my previous Fenix 3 did) it won't

A. Sync with GC on my iphone via bluetooth

B. Sync over wifi

C. Sync via Garmin Express on a USB connection

D. GC won't accept the file for the activity on a laptop when trying to import it.

I've done all the resets, power on off of all items in any sequence I can think of and nothing. I wasn't even out running this long. Should I just leave it and hope it plays catch up with itself or accept this one is stuck and I can't get it from the device?

Possibly a corrupt activity (fit file). Try a manual upload of your activity to Garmin Connect

If you get any message other than Import Complete, then there is a problem with the file. It is likely corrupt. Attach it to this thread. We can take a look to see if it is repairable.

Zip the file, then in a reply post Insert >> Image/video/file >> click Upload >> browse for file >> OK.
Or upload the fit file to a file sharing service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., then share a link to the file in your post.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking as GC desktop doesn’t like the file either. I think it’s probably a lost cause

I’ll try and attach it tomorrow, got a load of other things to get on with that this has held up! Thanks for the reply :)

Tried a few more resets and the like but still nothing synced. Just tried it again via the upload which didn’t work last night and it’s taken it. Weird! Thanks again for the reply :)
