Synchronizing/downloading activities from Edge 1040 when not in range of home wifi

Rides that I end at home upload immediately over Wifi, but rides ending at a cafe take forever to sync over Bluetooth. That's with me sitting outside with perfect LTE reception. So here's a little trick get it to sync quicker, maybe this is helpful for someone:

  1. Save the ride
  2. Power off the device: long press power button, choose "power down". If it gets stuck during shutdown, press the power button until the display turns off.
  3. Disable Bluetooth on your phone and enable wifi access point
  4. Turn on 1040 and wait for synchronization to finish
  5. When ride appears on Connect/Strava, enable Bluetooth again
