    Some days ago I setup Spotify. Before battery life was fine around 0,5 % per hour. Now, battery life is also ok, but only if I disable Bluetooth. I double checked the permissions of the Sportify app but it has no background permission but only 

    • Send/receive information to/from the Internet
    Saying this, I believe that Spotify utilizes the bluetooth connection on a regular basis to do some sync as soon as bluetooth is enabled.
    @Garmin Blake: Could you please double check this with developers? Thanks.

    Conecting the 945 to a MacBook Pro running High Sierra. When I connect it using the USB cable I'm not getting any folder appear on the desktop of the 945 internal storage. FW 2.80 currently. Anyone know why?

    The reason for updating is when trying to delete a Spotify playlist from the library its showing deleting with the progress band. The band completes and deleting stay's on the watch face and the playlist remains in the library and doesn't delete.

    Thinking the Improvements to media player and Improvements/fixes for Spotify may fix it.

    To connect a Garmin music capable device to a Mac, you have to use the app "Android File Transfer" to get access to the folder structure. Its because Garmin is using a protocol Apple doesn't support.

    Have you double checked the USB Mode under watch Settings -> System -> USB Mode ?

    Should be Media Transfer and not Garmin.

    Ok thanks. I'll try tomorrow on a Windows computer. Getting late here. Had me stumped because it worked ok connecting the Edge 1030 to the Mac.

    Hello,

    I had a crash today when trying to sync over WiFi. The crash produced a RAM.txt file, I sent it via email, I hope it helps...

    On Windows, it will work. Its the old Microdoof MTP Protocol they use for media (music).
    The edge doesn't have music, so its different in communication protocol (like I said above...)
