Garmin Edge 530 Super slow to sync on my Iphone 14

Hello everybody,

I own a garmin edge 530, everything works well apart from the syncing with connect app.

It takes at least 20 minutes to sync and with no wifi connection it can take really a lot a lot of time, but in all cases with no control over what’s the progress, meaning that on the connect app I see the device, when I manually press the sync button nothing happen, you have to wait a random time for it to start syncing and checking the white progress circle around the device icon.

Before you ask recording is set to smart and not to 1 second. My friend’s 530 syncs in few minutes so I really don’t understand the problem. 

Also when sending a route or a training you don’t have control over the status of sending it, it just sync randomly over time.

Looks like the Edge and the Iphone are not really talking each other directly through bluetooth but instead going through internet or something like that.

Somebody facing the same issue?

  • It could have solved it! I just did what you said, and then I tried to load a new course and it worked perfectly and super fast. Now as soon as I record a new activity I’ll let you know

  • Today I made and indoor training with the power meter too, for sure there are no gps data but it took the time of pressing sync and it was already there!! I think this was the solution waiting for this *** weather to fix and I’ll give a complete try but last time also eith indoor train i took 20 min!!

  • Hi guys confirmed! i made today a 3 hours and 20 minutes ride with power meter cardio band speed sensor and after your suggestion it synced in probably one minute!! Thank you maaan!! 

  • That's interesting! Because I followed the same procedure but it hasn't improved sync times at all - still 5 - 15 minutes, depending on the length of the ride. 

  • Try to do that again don’t forget to remove it both in the app and in the phone bluetooth settings. Then in my edge if I don’t go wrong in my edge wifi setup menu I unflagged the auto load I didn’t say that cause I didn’t think it was related but give a try there too

  • I have exactly the same problem. The syncing was never an issue till I upgraded to the iPhone 14.

    im going to try a factory reset
