Bluetooth on forerunner 235 connects and disconnects over and over again

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi everyone,

I'm one of yours since I own a great forerunner 235 that I bought like a year and half ago. Everything went fine until I decided I would change the skin of what's the watch is displaying. I use the Connect IQ Android App selected 2 new skins and try to upload them to the watch.

Sadly, it seems my bluetooth connection is kind of ***. My phone is a motorola E5 and it works fine when listening to music for example which is making me think that the watch is the problem.

When I do connect the bluetooth, it does connect and has time to synchronise a run session that I could have done. But it NEVER synchronize completely (The circle showing sync is stuck at half) and the bluetooth connection fails then it connects again and try to sync again and again.

I tried to restart everything, removed the watch from gamin connect (Android) and it stays like this. It's a bit frustrating.

I decided to go all the way and reseted the watch, uninstall the android app and pair both again. Still the same result.

Do any of you guys have an idea of what I could do to fix this ?

Thanks for your feedback

I also tried to pair the watch with gamin connect on my laptop (Windows 10) and it's the same kind of behavior.
The data transfer fails. It's a bit annoying since I can't push trainings or watch skins.

If you don't have any idea about how to fix bluetooth, do you know a way to push things from connect to the watch throught the USB cable ?

It finally worked when I was outside with only my phone and watch.

I think having other devices with bluetooth on messed things up
