Flight mode no longer works in 4.16

Since upgrading from 3.x to 4.16 flight mode no longer works. I have it enabled and I can see my real time HR in Garmin Connect, I still get notifications etc.

I'm trying flight mode again (after 10% battery drain each 24h in 3.X with flight mode ON) because this night the drainage was 10% in 12h (hypothetically with all connections OFF, OX Off, HR ON).

Tomorrow I confirm you if I have the same problem than you before activate it.

Flight mode works for me in 4.16, no heart rate in Garmin Connect and it says not connected.

It does seem to be working consistently again now. Not sure what changed, but after my initial report I even did a restart of the watch and it still wasn't working properly then, so who knows :)

Seem problematic again. No matter what I do, as soon as I move away from my phone it says disconnected and when I come closer it connects again, meaning the flight mode isn't doing anything.

I saw your post and recalled this one:

Thanks S.M.R. for pointing me to that - not impressed about these changes, but I'll post over there.
