Reconnect Garmin Watch - legacy version
Appen holder forbindelsen til din klokke og genopretter forbindelsen efter at være væk fra telefonen. It runs in the background and battery usage is very low.
NOTE: This is a legacy version for Android 4, 5 and 6 of my app. Reconnect Garmin Watch. It can also be used on Android 7 and 7.1.
The app works for Fenix 3/5, Forerunner 235 / 735XT / 920, vivoactive HR and other models.
When you run the app the first time, it will start Setup. Please follow the instructions exactly.
Huawei phones: Please see text at the bottom
Troubleshooting:
>> On Galaxy phones, you may have to reboot the phone and force stop the "Bluetooth share" app (go to phone Settings - Applications, show system apps - Bluetooth share - Force Stop).
>> When Vivoactive HR disconnects, sometimes you have to go into Garmin Connect menu - Garmin Devices, and then turn off Bluetooth on the phone. Connect should prompt you to turn on Bluetooth again; do it and wait 10-20 sec, and then the watch should reconnect. (You should also have Location Services turned on in Android settings!)
>> Some phones (like Lenovo) may only work if the watch BLE-ANT firmware is downgraded. You need to Google a file called something like GUP1909.BIN and upload it to the watch from a computer.
>> If the watch shows it's CONNECTED but you do not get any notifications:
* Open Garmin Connect and select Settings - Smart Notifications. Disable and enable one of the notifications, like Incoming Calls. This could make Connect ask for permissions.
* Hvis det fortsetter å spørre om tillatelser, selv om du gir tillatelse, så restart telefonen.
- If it does not ask for permissions:
* Go to your phone's Settings - Apps - Connect - Permissions and enable all permissions
Issues with Garmin Connect on some Huawei phones:
You can try the following.
* Turn off Location Services on your phone and then try to add the watch in Garmin Connect
- OR -
* Install and run the app "Bluetooth pair"
- OR -

It won't install in my replacement phone, so it's useless to me now.

Garmin saying no more
It works as intended, I'm satisfied with it Edit: i guess it used to, after the last update I can't open it at all, it keeps crashing, I'll give give stars again if it decides to work again
