HRM tri only records when uses an activity profile that requires GPS

Hello everyone!

So that, my HRM tri only records when uses an activity profile that requires GPS, and now that I started playing basketball I wanted to use a sport profile that doesn't need GPS like Cardio. But when I try this, at the time I finish the training and I stop the recording on the watch, it is not able to find the data to download. As I said, when I do that with a GPS-on activity, it works perfectly.

Anyone have any ideas? I thought about trying to connect it to a phone app, but I'm not able to do so, also I don't know anyother apps that can connect the HRM-tri.

I use a Garmin Forerunner 735XT to connect it.

Thanks in advance!

It will connect to an Android phone but your phone will need to have enabled hardware and drivers to support ANT+ devices. There is an app in the Google Play Store by Quantrity called ANTtester that will tell you what compatibility your phone has.

Apple iOS based devices do not support ANT+.

You are correct, my phone (android) doesn't have ANT+ support :(. Then I can not connect it to the phone.

If the ANT Tester has a 'Yes' for 'USB On-The-Go support' then theory you could use a ANT+ USB dongle with your phone.
