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…

*Update*: After suffering from this Transfer Failed/CPE update failure/expired for months, I finally resorted to enrolling in the Beta Software Program, which I noticed mention here. This instantly solved…

Today: Transfer failed. again.

But seems to be in issue with CPE.BIN. Maybe Garmin will fix it in the next 5 years.

Yeah, same here.
5 years? How about never? And if they do fix it, what other feature will be broken in the process?

I just can't understand why it's not fixed already. Don't they have anyone looking at the problems they cause with the sloppy updates.

I noticed they are asking us to sign up to beta test. I'd do it IF, and only IF, they would send me a watch to test with. I did not spend this money to test software for them. But in hindsight it seems like I did, shame on me.

Failed again here too today. But as usual, there seems to be nothing missing from the sync.

I am experiencing the same issue with "Transfer Failed" when using Wifi from Vivoactive 4 on the watch. I have updated to 7.20 through Garmin Express and my CPE shows "Current". Any additional suggestions? Garmin software and apps are a mess. Love the hardware hate the software.

Hi, my vivoactive 4 is on 7.20, I also restarted it, and I'm getting "Transfer Failed" each time I'm trying to sync over Wifi. Would appreciate further guidance.

The same. Transfer failed message everytime.

FW 7.20

Any known fix for this?

I'm on 7.20 and I'm still getting this error. Sync via WiFi, I get transfer failed. I'm using the original Venu.
