Bluetooth and ant+ disconnects ever 10 or so seconds.

Has anybody else had the same issue? It seems the battery cover issue seems to solve the problem for people whose connections drop a couple times an hour perhaps.... my pedals are fresh our of the box, and can only stay connected to a laptop or phone for 10-20 seconds max. I've turned off all electronics, changed my router to not be on the channel that interferes with ant +, tried both ant+ and Bluetooth, removed the Garmin connect app... All the standard things....

I presume these are actually just faulty as opposed to battery cover related? Any thoughts?

Same problem. The worst pedals powermeter ever. Throw them to the garbage and buy Favero Assioma

Can you post up a .fit file from one of your rides? or email it to [email protected]

One reason this can happen, is if you happen to have a different configuration setting between your phone's Garmin Connect Mobile app, and a head unit such as an Edge (or between an Edge and a watch). If, for example, you have set the cranklength on the phone app to 175, and the setting on the Edge is 172.5, then the two units will fight over the setting and at the pedal this shows up as persistent disconnections and reconnection as the configuration file gets saved over and over again.

Another common conflict occurs around the TE/PS datafield. The default on Edges is OFF. The watches (Forerunner and Fenix) expect it to be ON. The watch does not have a UI feature for this option, so if you connect both a watch and an Edge to the pedals, it is important to enable TE/PS on the Edge to avoid a conflict.

Already verify this and the problem does continue. Unpaired everything, reset Vectors, reset edge, all to fabric values and the disconnections continues.
