New Forerunner 230 running activity not uploading to GCM

Dear all,

I have a new Forerunner 230 (firmware 4.60) & went running today.

The run is saved fine on the watch, but I only have the fitness tracker data appearing in Garmin Connect (latest version on Android Lollipop). The watch pairs/syncs fine otherwise.

I have uninstalled & reinstalled GCM & have rebooted both the watch & phone (samsung Note 3) in vain.

In fact, no running activities are listed in my GCM calendar since Saturday 21st May (my last listed run dates from 20/05, recorded via the Strava app, 'though I've been out twice since then (these show up in Strava).

Any ideas, please let me know!

Update:

The previous activities from Strava are now synchronising again (the error was probably due to a recent Strava update, resetting the GC authorisation settings).

If I now test & save run activities on the Forerunner 230, they now auto-upload to GCM.

Therefore only my "real" run is missing (I probably lost the Bluetooth or 3G connection at the time). I will try & sync to GC tonight with the usb cable.

Garmin Forerunner 230 sync problem

I have a similar problem that appeared yesterday. I created a workout (workout was named with latvian language special characters "5km treniņš") and ran yesterday for the first time using this workout. After that all the training information was saved to the device and everything seemed to be ok, but since that moment my FR 230 is not synchronizing with GCM anymore (in mobile application it shows that the sync is successful though). Today steps are not being counted in the watch and shows 0. I have also sent the log file to support team and I am really looking forward to your help. Thanks!

Try synchronising your Garmin with the USB cable. That resolved my issue last night. I once had a similar issue with the Forerunner 220 (Bluetooth or 3G data connection lost during the sync).
