BLE_HOST_TIMEOUT using Wi-Fi

Hi all, my app allows users to download map images using Wi-Fi or their phone. Sometimes the user gets error -2 when using their phone for the internet connection. However, most of the time the error occurs when using the Wi-Fi sync! Does Wi-Fi sync somehow rely on the phone connection to work? Or does this indicate an underlying problem?

Thanks,

Lance

Is this with a makeImageRequest or makeWebRequest? With makeWebRequest, it sounds like it could be an issue with the data connection or the server. With makeImageRequest, the image goes through processing on a garmin server before the watch gets it. But if the garmin server was an issue, other apps doing makeImageRequest calls would also see errors.

Hi Jim, thanks for responding! It's with makeImageRequest. Does the Garmin server process the image, no matter if it's downloaded through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth? Should I file a bug report?

Yes, The image you are pulling has to be converted into something the garmin device can use, and that's where things like the palette is handled.

I suspect it's the server you are using and not the Garmin part. If it was the Garmin part, many other people would be complaining here.

Thanks Jim, I did finally figure out the problem. It turns out that although the Wi-Fi sync delegate was being shown, I had the watch was relying on the BLE transfer, instead of Wi-Fi! After switching over to Wi-Fi, I haven't seen this problem.
