Hi all
I am having trouble acquiring GPS signal with the watch. Most of the time, when I wear it outside, in an open, clear area, even after an hour, it won't connect. It was fine last week Monday, but has been giving issues since Thursday.
It does work temporarily if I soft reset it, then resync it through cable with Garmin Express and then leave it outside for a bit with the Connect IQ app AK GPS Fix running - after that it will find GPS within seconds. The problem is that after a few minutes of not being connected to GPS in an activity, it reverts back to the same problem.
I have tried doing a full, hard reset where I also removed it from Garmin Connect and then readded it, but that didn't help. I have done numerous soft-resets of the watch. Deleting the contents of the RemoteSW folder and resynching through GE did not help either.
In the About section of the watch, the following data is displayed:
Software Version 20.22
GPS 0.00 (But this can change to 13.00 sometimes if the AKFix app is used, until I reset the watch)
CPE: Current
Furthemore, there is about 20GB of free space still on the watch.
Any assistance on the matter would be appreciated. I have contacted Garmin support, but it my experience it often takes a while for them to get back to me in my region.
Thanks all in advance!
EDIT: I tried installing the beta firmware 21:06 but have had no luck here either.
