Yep, my headphones cur out every 5-10mins. Actually think it was originally caused by a bluetooth update just after 5.80. Another update via Garmin Express seemed to fix the problem, but v5.90 has brought it back again.
Same here - I'm pairing with Jaybird Tarah Pros, music lasts around 5-10 minutes then the connection drops and will not come back no matter how many times I restart the buds. This started 1-2 weeks ago.
I reported my issues to Garmin Support earlier today. Interestingly I’m pairing to Jaybird Vistas, so I wonder if there are some brand specific glitches baked in to the latest Garmin firmware. I will update here if any resolution is found.
Tested again a couple of days ago - 5.90 has not rectified the problem, music cuts after 5-10m, just after a new track begins. (Vivoactive 3 Music/Jaybird Tarah Pro)
Early results from firmware 6.0 update are promising. I’ve managed to listen to 5 songs in a row on my Vistas without dropouts for the first time in a month. Hopefully this will carry through to in-activity listening.
I have been talking with a support rep from Garmin and the answers I've gotten are INCREDIBLY disappointing. I had been using Jaybird Vistas too. I've pasted some highlights below. The most recent communication was just an hour ago.
- They cannot roll back the firmware, even though they clearly have a copy saved somewhere. They will not give it to me, no matter how much I beg.
- There is no timeline for a fix, though the firmware is "under review."
So yeah, awful response from Garmin. If it's not working, they should roll it back. I work at a company with a similar hardware/firmware situation, and this is how it's handled for best results across the board. I would love to hear an official statement about what is going on internally.
