Synchronising with WiFi, seems to upload normaly, nothing missing.

But very often: "Transfer Failed" shown on watch. Anyone else with same problem?

Hello, I have a Garmin Vivoactive 4. Very happy with my watch until the last software 7.20. Since then, I got for each and every Wifi synchronisation a error message "Transfer Failed". I have tried everything…

Yes, the same thing happens on my watch.

At least 50% of the time since 6,90 update.
I thought I had the problem solved, as I said in another thread, but it still happens.

Another broken feature.

But it is just a false alarm. The sync has no issues even if the watch says it failed.

There must be something missing...

Else it would be an random "Show Failed /Show Complete" message....

Maybe, but, I'm not convinced that is so.

Yes, me too. Every damn time I try to update GPS via Wi-Fi. Had no problem before the 7.10 update. CPE will excpire soon, if the transfer keeps failing. Then, runs won't track properly.

Mine was giving the same error message also by software 6.9 and before. Haven't had any CPE issues. Everything seems to work fine.

That's not been my experience - no matter whether I see Transfer Failed or some indicator of success, with sw v7.10 *nothing* gets transferred unless I've first powercycled my watch.

Seems like you have a different issue than me. Garmin pulled the 7.10 software now, so I guess they are working on a solution for the issue you have.
