Hi

The psat week I have dayly gotten an information from Connect IQ that Download to the unit failed. Not enough memory available. Freely translated from Danish. 

I have google some, and I have deleted 70% of all activities. 

And when I connect my Venu to my PC, I can see I have 3,3 Gb free space of 3,6. So some 10% used.

I have turn off and on the watch, but that didn't do anything. 

I can still use the watch, and it still sends activities to the cloud. 

It looks like it an update to Deezer, which I do not use.

What should I do?

    There is a limit to the disk space that can be used for CIQ apps, and that's what you have run into.  In GCM, gp to the device, and then "general". then "manage storage".  This will show you what's being used by CIQ apps, and give you a list of CIQ apps on your watch, and the size of each, as well as what's available,

    Delete a few apps you aren't using to free up space so you can install something else.

    GCM is short for?

    I have not installed any apps. ONly what came with the watch. 

    I have installed 4 watch. And uninstalled 1 of them. So 3 watches.

    When I in Garmin IQ looks at the installed apps there is 4 installed (of 28 possible)

    3 watches and this deezer, which I cant uninstall - then uninstall button is not there. There is a text saying Updating...

    GCM = Garmin Connect Mobile.  Garmin Connect on your phone.

    Connect your device with garmin express on a computer. Here you will be able to delete pre installed ciq apps like deezer and Spotify 

    As a plus connecting to garmin express will also seek if a firmware update for your watch is available (gcm also does this but due to the size it takes very long to succeed)

    Why didn't I think of removing the app via the PC.

    I got deezer removed. Its seems for now, that the problem has gone away. 

    I think something went wwrong with an update to the deezer app, which I do not use. 

    Everything else was already up to day. 

    Thx
