Edge 1040 not syncing automatically with Garmin Connect.

Garmin Edge 1040 is not syncing automatically with Garmin Connect app on iPhone 12. It is also not syncing through wifi. I removed it from Bluetooth devices list but it doesn't help. Each time I want to sync my activities or any other data I need to open manually Garmin Connect and press sync button.

Is it even possible to automatically and seamlessly sync data between Garmin Connect platform (app and web) and Edge 1040?

    Do a hard reset. Hold the power button until the unit restarts.  This also happened on my 1030 very regularly.  Does sometimes on the 1040 but a lot less.  The hard reset usually works.

    Yes, hard power off and on seems to be a reliable "workaround". But from a flagship device I'd expect seamless syncing experience... Expressionless NB: on 1030 it was working _almost always_. On 1040 it almost always it doesn't...

    Mine won’t automatically sync with this latest version also.  Sw14.20.  

    Did an indoor ride today and it sync'd.  It might only be outdoor rides.

    Mine has been working and syncing fine till Fridays ride. the only difference was, i had gone away in the van with bike, so ride didnt finish at home. when i got home i was expecting it to sync with connect when it connected to home wi-fi. it didnt, tried manual sync and power off, still no joy. not sure what to try next.

    Turn off both Bluetooth and Wifi. Then turn back on. That sometimes kicks it off. I think this is something to do with it having the option to do either directly with wifi or Ivan Garmin connect on a phone via Bluetooth.  Sometimes it seems to get confused and stop. I’ve seen it before also when travelling when I normally do a sync via wifi at home. 

    Other than that a hard reset after doing that can kick it off.  You can also go into the activity and ask it to upload but with all models I’ve found that a bit hit and miss.

    Having the same issue, is it an OS issue, I'm on Android.

    Can I get an up vote if you're experiencing issues syncing with iOS and a down vote if you're Android.
