Hi, I'm having multiple problems with my Garmin 1030
My setup:
Garmin 1030
Google Pixel
Garmin Connect + LiveTrack set up to email friends
Garmin Connect auto upload to Strava
My wife also has a 1030 and the only difference to my set up is she has a Google Pixel 2. I've previously used a Garmin 820 with my Google Pixel and it worked flawlessly. So I don't believe my phone is to blame.
My main problems are that the 1030 reports bluetooth connected and livetrack started but at the end of ride it doesn't seem to auto upload to Garmin Connect on my phone. I have to click on the 'sync' button on the app for it to upload (not all the time, but most of the time). Also the LiveTrack emails are not reliably being sent. And sometimes the ride finishes and uploads and livetrack says it is still going (I have to manually end the livetrack).
So, If I had to guess the issue is between the 1030 and Garmin Connect. Garmin connect says the 1030 is connected.... It just isn't doing its thing properly.... What now??? What should I do?
List of other issues:
- It has frozen a number of times and required me to hold the power button down for 20 seconds to reset it.
- It only auto syncs with garmin connect mobile app randomly. It works some days, and others it doesn't. Having to manually sync really defeats the purpose of the unit.
- About 7 times now when I manually sync with gamin express on the PC it reports that "Some files could not be uploaded to garmin connect" + "You may want to manually remove these files from the device". I then use the Corrupt Time Fixer tool on this site and I'm successfully able to upload to strava.
- The Strava IQ app crashes and restarts the 1030
- The Strava IQ app only works about 50% and the other times it reports a bluetooth error.
Is my device faulty? Or are all 1030's buggy?
Do I need a warranty replacement?
