I recently purchased an edge 830. Have paired with my iPhone but every time I turn my edge 830 on it will not connect with my phone automatically unless I open the Garmin connect app (even then it is hit and miss). It just says ‘searching’.
Under Bluetooth devices on my phone BLE is always connected but not BT and when I try and connect it says “connection unsuccessful” - very rarely does it successfully connect.
Auto upload is on.
I have followed all of Garmins advice multiple times:
-repairing device with phone
-make sure software and app is up to date
-turned off battery saver mode
-remove device from Garmin connect and Bluetooth list and repair it.
-on device forget phone and repair.
It’s basically operates like auto upload is not on (I can assure you it is) but I also don’t get notifications on my device during activity’s (unless I open Garmin app and connect it every time before I take off for a ride). Is significantly inconvenient.
