Tempe sensor not connecting when running, but does connect with hikes on my 735XT

I'm experiencing strange behavior of my Tempe sensor on my 735XT.
When I start the running activity, the sensor can not be found, no matter how long I wait, no matter how close they are together.
On the Hike activity it does find the Tempe sensor after a few minutes.
Using the search for sensor en the settings menu also doesn't find my Tempe.

The problem seems to be with my 735XT as I also hae an Oregon600 that reads the Tempe's data instantly.

Any clues what to do with this?

Well, I don't have a tempe to try out, but since some types of sensors work only in particular activity profiles (for example a bike cadence sensor will not connect while running) I would not be surprised if the tempe worked in hiking mode only by purpose.

That's not it.
Because in the past it did connect by itself on the running activity. Sometimes quick, sometimes when I was running for an hour already. And when I first enter the hike activity until the Tempe sensor is connected and then switch to the running profile it stays connected and I get a nice temperature graphic in Garmin Connect in my run statistics.

My 735xt / tempe combination does exactly this, although I used cycling as the secondary activity but has the same effect as you in hike. I had given up but interested to maybe try again to get this fixed.
