Constant bluetooth disconnection on Android 14 Beta

My Pixel 7 Pro updated to the latest Android 14 Beta a couple of days ago. Ever since, my Fenix 6 Pro can't hold a connection to it.

It connects ok, syncs, but then 10 mins later I get a notification on my phone that the watch wants to connect again, enter passcode, reconnect. Cycle continues like this...

Anyone else with this issue?

Not for me so far with Pixel 7 Pro running Android 14 QPR1 Beta1 (U1B1.230908.003).

Have you tried a reset of Bluetooth on the Pixel? (Settings > System > Reset Options > Reset Bluetooth and Wi-Fi)…

Ahh dang!

I have the same thing, but with Samsung Galaxy S21 with October 2023 update (Android 13). For the past couple weeks, any time my watch loses bluetooth connection with my phone, I have to go through the entire pairing/setup process again in Garmin Connect. Clearing the app cache doesn't help, nor does forgetting/re-pairing the watch. The Connect app did update on 10/16, so I suspect that's the root of the problem.

Having a nearly identical issue with my Fenix 6 sapphire watch and a pixel 8 phone running android version 14 and connect app version 4.73.4. Tried all the troubleshooting discussed on this thread, with no luck. Garmin customer service suggested that it's a phone hardware problem and I should contact Google first before possibly replacing the watch.

The issue seems to have fixed itself on my end (Pixel 8 Pro / Garmin D2 Charlie). Unknown if it was an Android or Garmin update (or something else?).

Make sure all your apps are updated and hopefully it gets fixed for you too.

Has anyone resolved this, I now have the same time issue with a Pixel 7 Pro on Android 14 with a Fenix 6 Pro. I have rest the phone, Bluetooth, deleted and reinstalled, forget device and even reset the Fenix. Nothing works.

Im about to give up on the Fenix.

Same here.

Android 14 pixel 7 and Forerunner 945.

It was happening last year and it worked for a while.

It's now back on disconnecting.

I have done a full new pairing and it still disconnects

I am trying Gamin Beta App now.

Hmmm, I saw this thread now and I wonder if this could have happened to me yesterday. I upgraded my OnePlus 8t to android 14 just a day before this happened: I sometimes don't see the fenix6 being connected in Connect IQ app, even though it is connected and syncing in Garmin Connect app.
