CIQ 3.1 Device App/Phone Communication Issues

I've installed a beta f/w release on my Edge 1030, which adds CIQ 3.1 support amongst other fixes. Apps & Widgets, which communicate with a paired mobile device to download routes that are either stored locally (via a companion app) or via a website would have taken less than a minute to download to the edge with f/w 8.0. Since the 8.06/8.07 betas with CIQ 3.1 support the apps either no longer work or take the best part of 10 minutes to download the same routes.

I’ve tried this with the Grouteloader, Gimporter & IQ Map Receiver apps using various sources all with the same results. The Ride with GPS app doesn’t even work at all now & remains at the initial app ‘Loading’ phase, never progressing any further.

Does anyone know if CIQ 3.1 has changed (screwed up) device app to phone communications?

I am seeing cases where DeviceSettings.phoneConnected is not accurate; the watch thinks it's connected to the phone, but all Communications requests end up generating -104 BLE_UNAVAILABLE.

Thanks for the information.There is certainly something quite bizarre happening with bluetooth comms on my Edge with the beta f/w supporting CIQ 3.1. For example my RideWithGPS IQ app stalls at the initial 'Loading' splash screen when launched and doesn't progress any further.

However if I turn Bluetooth off on my phone then launch the RideWithGPS app; I get a 'Waiting for phone connection' splash screen message as is normal. Then when I turn Bluetooth back on & the Edge establishes a connection the app immediately displays the menus, which allows me to select & download routes. ie. is working normally albeit downloading the routes much slower than it used to.

If I then exit the RideWithGPS app & relaunch it; the app stalls at the initial 'Loading' splash screen again and doesn't progress any further. Even if I turn Bluetooth on my phone off then back on again whilst the 'Loading' screen is displayed it still won't progress.

I've tried removing & reinstalling the apps, unpairing, deleting & adding the Edge from GCM & Phone Bluetooth. I've even tried pairing the Edge with my tablet instead of the phone. With the same delays & app responses as previously seen.

Unless anyone has any other suggestions/solutions I might have to bite the bullet, backup my settings & master reset the Edge to see if that solves it
