Spotify syncing

Since new update my Spotify is not syncing at all, I've tried logging out and logging back in and nothing, stays on 0% for over an hour. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem

Yes, I have encountered this, but really frustratingly it is only for certain podcasts. Some work fine and download straight away, whereas others are stuck on 0%, and it is always the same ones that do not work!

Also have this problem. Removing some playlists solved it. There seems to be something odd about a few of my playlists.

BTW did you try to sync/update the playlist with power cord connected?

Yes.

Please try hard resetting your device by holding the power button in until the display goes blank. You can then turn the device on like normal and try to sync as you normally would.This issue occurred once for me while beta testing and this resolved it.

Thanks for your help, but hard resetting the watch is a no-go for me. I had to do it once and I lost so many things, that I will not do it again, if I can avoid. Therefore, I simply avoid some of my playlists for now.

This actually worked for me. It was first giving me wifi connection errors. I had to install crt file, which was shown in the other thread. afterwards it was getting stuck at 0% and after restarting my device a few times, it finally managed to get the download going

New Spotify App on IQ

- Initial Release: October 3, 2018
- Updated: November 16, 2020

Version: 1.4.3

Again first six months, 100% sync. After some update spotify Syncing is a horrible broken problem.

Any wild conspiracy theories? 645/M hardware? Garmin software? Spotify App?

When I contacted tech support they blamed it on my WiFi router (to be fair, tech support was nice, but didn't help with the problem.)

I have guessed hardware and have been thinking about abandoning ship and getting a Fenix 5 Plus...it has 100% of the 645/M functionality in a slightly more modern hardware. But over on their forum folks are not able to regularly sync their spotify.

Fenix 6? FR 945? Is there any Garmin product that is known for always syncing spotify, without fail?

(BTW: go ahead, I'll be angry but I'm expecting it. The people who write "mine works fine."....you are the ones who never have drop outs when where you watch on your right wrist too.)

New Pod Save America....sync failed.

Everyone's 645/M spotify sync failure stories are unique. Mine almost always fails three times and on the fourth it downloads.
