HI, "My iPhone connects most times straight away via Bluetooth to my Edge 1030. When I look in my iPhone Bluetooth settings I can see 2 connections for the Edge 1030...the first one, which usually shows as 'Connected'. is "Edge 1030 Bontrager." and the second one "BT_Edge 1030 Bontrager" showing as 'Not Connected" which never auto-connects....I have to go and manually connect this by pressing it on my phones list of Bluetooth devices. Can you enlighten me as to why there are 2 connections and also why one never connects automatically?"
I sent the above message to Garmin Support and they replied with a generic ..."Remove device from Garmin Connect app, Delete Bluetooth profiles etc bla bla bla" Theydidn't answer my main question as to why there are 2 Bluetooth Profiles and also why one never Auto-connects. So I followed their instructions but ended up back at square one with same thing happening again. ( Also spent the good part of an hour and a half re-adding all my Garmin devices back to the GC app.) Anyone any info on this? Many thanks
It‘s normal that only one BT shows as connected. You need not manually connect the other BT. It‘s a question of energy-consumption. The twice connection - usually „not connected“ - connects itself if „huge“ of data is to be transmitted - like sync your device, upload an activity, transmit a course and so on. The steady connected BT is responsible for notifications and so on...
