Strength Activities fail to sync (sometimes)

This started a few days ago after updating my phone to Android 10. Every time I do an indoor cycling activity and my watch successfully sync with Garmin Connect, the strength activity I track using the watch after it deoesn't sync. I can see it on my watch, but it just doesn't appear on Garmin Connect, not on the homescreen under 'My Day' nor can I find it on 'all activities'. And the calories calculated are strangely just as appears on the watch. Is there someone having the same or similar problems?

Had the same thing last evening. I did 4 exercises (see the watch picture) and it only synced 3 of them initially (not syncing the last one), then it disappeared the middle one. This is really sketchy. It also doesn't have proper names for exercises, neither you can add one (via the phone app). For example there is no chest-butterfly (you have to select fly), or reverse lat pull-down (you have to select weighted lat pull-up) etc. It constantly misidentifies the types (i.e. I was doing lat pull-down (vertical) and it was saying I did chest press. It sometimes picks 4 or 6 vs the correct 5 in a set.

getting the same thing. Happening more regularly now, strength activity will show up on my watch after I save it, but will not show up in GC.

I have found, and documented in other threads, a problem where the 945 may save the first "set" as a "Rest" exercise and GC fails to understand this. Check on the watch if the one that doesn't sync has a rep count of "--" and only a rest period (no activity time). If so, this is the problem.

I did this, and repeated it, by starting a Strength activity (or changing to multiport) and immediately pausing the activity for a while.

I'm having the same problem with the Forerunner 245. Did you find an answer to correct this for past exercises?

He's the answer is to ensure that the first set captured a rep number. If the auto detetion doesn't work, then manually adjust the set straight after hitting the rest button.

It did register.

Nope. I always manually adjust reps (to record weights, mostly) and I still get sync failures about 1/2 th time.
