Auto tracking keeps starting for no reason

I apologize, Yes, the auto activity start. Let's disable that and move IQ and see if the device starts any activities over the next few hours.

Did the below step help? I'm also facing the same issue which just started.

I tried the steps mentioned but didn't help at all. Can you suggest or fix this as an update? Im really contemplating returning the tracker if it's not fixed in couple of days.

HI Former Member Can you sync your device with the computer application Garmin Express then may I ask you to reset the watch to defaults and tell me if you are still experiencing this issue. 

I had this same problem this evening. My device auto-started recording me running when it was on the table next to me. I have reset the factory defaults and now it is unable to connect to my phone via bluetooth although bluetooth is switched on on my phone. Please could you help me to fix this.

Vivosport starts tracking activity when I am sitting still.

Didnt help. Going to try a factory reset next - if not I will attempt to return the device. Constantly putting itself into Autostart mode even when I am not wearing it. 

Paired to Android, Samsung S10
SW 5.00, TSC 2.20, SNS 5.03, NET 4.71 

Amber, I have turned off all auto tracking and the device initiates activity tracking every 5 minutes.
