Gimporter not working anymore

I have been using gimporter Widget on both FR935 and FR945 for some time and absolutely loved it.

Now for a couple of weeks I have not been able to download any tracks anymore. I get the connection with the phone and I am able to choose the desired track. The watch then starts downloading. After maybe 1 minutes then widget goes straight back to the watchface. I have updated everything (Android app, FR Firmware, widget) Tried the app which just doenst finish downloading even with a test-gpx of only 600 Bytes. I think it started before FW3.90 and I have just updatet to FW 4.00 with the same result. Factory reseted the watch, de- and reinstalled app and widget... Now I am running out of ideas...

Anybody else have that issue or any clue what could be causing it?

Cheers

I am the developer, and I haven't changed anything. Blame Garmin for their regression bugs in firmware updates. I have a 945 myself and suffer, too.

I even thought of applying for a job at Garmin to fix the whole development process mess

YES please do!! :-D It really is getting annoying!

Are you saying you cant use the widget yourself?

Oh maann... That probably also explains, why I cant get the strava route app working.... damit garmin!

At least, that means more pressure on garmin to resolve this quickly (hopefully)...

I hit this same problem last night too... Good work Garmin.
gimporter saved me recently when I was stuck in the middle of nowhere following a route along the Thames river. I came to a section totally flooded and impossible to pass. I was able to grab my phone, select a different course that I had pre-mapped on ridewithgps, download the gpx and push it to the watch - took 30s at most. Its a hugely useful app - and I just hope garmin stops screwing about and we can get back to using it!
