Garmins, WHY DO YOU BREAK THE WORKING FUNCTIONS?

Again, there were notifications that the smartphone is Disconnected / Connected (where can I turn it off?)

When I receive a notification about the disconnection of the smartphone, then all sensors are turned off.

"Although this software is believed to be reliable, it has not yet been released for production and should be used at your own risk."

It's on the beta page. Beta's have broken things, we test them, we find them, we report them to [email protected]

Perhaps you could learn to read then. You're complaining about a beta having things broken. Thats what Betas are - test beds.

Everything except the meaning of "beta", obviously.

Settings-> Phone-> Alerts.. Switching this to OFF should turn off these notifications.

My Plantronics Backbeat FIT II always disconnect every 10-15min from F6x pro since 6.x bluetooth firmware. No problem if I rollback to 5.x. Sorry for my poor english.

Well, beta actually does not mean the firmware has to have bugs. It means that everything has been tested in all standard scenarios. Every new function has been covered by the unit tests, and every existing tests have been run without errors. That's what beta means.
