Dear all,
I am experiencing a reproducible issue with the Bluetooth pairing of my Wahoo Trackr HR sensor after updating to firmware version 26.08.
Detailed Error Description:
-
Status Before Update: Pairing and using the TICKR via Bluetooth (BT) worked flawlessly with the previous firmware (e.g., 25.XX).
-
Current State: Since updating to 26.08, it is no longer possible to add the Wahoo TICKR via Bluetooth to the sensor list. The watch finds the sensor, but the pairing process either aborts or ends with the message "Pairing failed."
-
ANT+ Functionality: Pairing via ANT+ continues to work without problems and is currently being used as a workaround. This rules out a defect in the TICKR sensor itself.
-
Exclusion of Conflicts: The TICKR is not connected to any other devices (smartphone, tablet, etc.).
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
-
Removed the sensor from the watch ("Remove").
-
Soft-reset the TICKR's Bluetooth by removing and reinserting the battery.
-
Performed a soft-reset of the Forerunner 955 (power cycle).
-
Attempted to pair the sensor multiple times via the "Add New" function.
Has anyone else noticed similar issues with third-party sensors (Wahoo, Polar, etc.) after this update? I would appreciate a quick solution or a hotfix from Garmin!
Best regards
Thorsten
