Today I noticed that my Fenix 6 was no longer connecting through Garmin Connect. I've had numerous Garmin watches over the years, always on Android devices. I've never had this much of a challenge. I did several things:
1. Cycled Bluetooth, removed device from Bluetooth list, did not help.
2. Rebooted phone and watch, did not help
3. "Forgot" device from Garmin connect, did not help
4. Reinstalled Garmin connect, did not help
5. Attempted to clear the Bluetooth cache on my phone, found out they disabled this in Android 13 :(
6. Reset all wireless connection. Unfortunately, this resets all of my saved Wi-Fi connections as well as Bluetooth. Even more unfortunately, it did not help.
My phone is seeing the Fenix 6 on the Bluetooth list, the Garmin connect app sees the watch. But when I try to pair, it will occasionally let me put in the six digit pin, but the connection fails every time. It tells me that I have entered an incorrect pin even though it is correct.
I feel like I have tried everything. I doubt it is something inherent to the watch. It must have something to do with Android 13. I searched the archives and noted that several people were having this issue 5 months ago. Not sure whatever came of it. I'm a little nervous that I am the only one who is recently having this issue. If it was related to some sort of a small update, I figured I would not be the only one.
Does anyone have any ideas? Syncing with a wire is tedious
