Former Member over 7 years ago

Hello.
I want to buy a Fenix 5, but i read on forum that is some sort of problems connecting with huawei phones.
Does anyone use the Fenix 5 with a Huawei P20 Pro?
The bluetooth connection is fine, notifications work, you have disconecting isues?I must to do some special trick or just work normaly like on other phones?

Thanks

I'm using Fenix 5 with a P20 Pro right now. Never had any problem at all with connection or sync. All working properly.

You have to do two operations in the phone
1- battery: allow the manual startup for connect
2-applications, special access, ignore battery optimization for connect

I have tried this workaround on my Huawei P10 with Android 8.0 and Fenix 3 HR, but still it disconnects once you close the Garmin Connect Mobile app.

I've just updated the P10 to Android 8.0 from Android 7.0.
Previously with Android 7.0 on P10, after some updated of Garmin firmware, there were not problems with Bluetooth pairing.
