Vivoactive 4 takes longer than 15mins to sync with GPS

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hello, I bought my Vivoactive4 a few weeks back and I am facing issues with the GPS as it always takes longer than 10/15mins to find the signal. I think this is normal first time you find for GPS but once done, it should lock and next time you need to use GPS signal should be found quickly. I was using Forerunner 235 and it always less than 5 seconds to get it ready for my workout...

I checked for the CPE info and it says missing even thought I managed to run with GPS and I just searched for GPS signal and synced with Connect App after it was found.

Can anyone help here or please advise how to fix this? because it's anoying to be waiting for longer than 10 mins to find the GPS... And if this continues and cannot be fixed, I will consider to return it...

Thank you Pshare! I tried all those several times. At the end, I managed to get CPE set to current following instructions on this link https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=CevbI1mlnV2SejYAaOQZ29 but still unsure if that has improved the search for the GPS as I have not tried it yet... will see later when I go for my run :)
