Garmin Connect Issues - FIXED

2/13/2015

21 Comments

 
update: this problem is fixed in Sportablet 7.8 / Uploader for Garmin 6.8. I've just pushed those versions to Google Play, so it may take a few hours for you guys to get them.

Yesterday the guys at Garmin Connect made some changes to their website. My app uses an "unofficial" integration, as access to the official Garmin API would require a 100x increase in sales to be economically sensible. Their update broke my integration.

I'm working on that. There were basically 4 issues to solve, and I've basically solved them all. I need more time to test the new version thoroughly.

- Please follow sportablet on facebook or twitter, or subscribe to the rss feed on this blog, or visit this blog periodically. I'm just one - I can either answer your emails or work on the app.

- If you send me an email, and while you're at it you ask me other questions about the app, please understand it's not the right time. I'm getting way too many emails when GC breaks down. Get in touch later on, thanks.

- Yeap, downrating the app in google play won't help a bit :-)

The ANT+ services are also updated, please check if the new version also works with them.

Thanks Carlo - export to Garmin Connect is working again perfectly fine !
The latest ANT+ services also seems to work fine with your updated version.

Uploader for Garmin stopped receiving from my 910xt last week. DOnt know its from updated uploader app or ant+ services app. Reinstalled all apps without success. even tried earlier versions of uploader (6.7) which doesnt work either

Hi, it worked on my Nexus 5 with internal Ant+ enabled via the Ant+ enabler. But it looks like the update broke things. Now the process gets stuck after 'Enabling ANT' and 'ANT enabled'. Nothing happens after that.

Not without more info. Do you get any error code from google play? Is the error about my app or the dynastream service (that you should downgrade, not upgrade)?

I had to clear the Google Play cache. Once that was done it downloaded and worked as before. Thank you for the update!!

A short question... Will the already downloaded activities remain on the mobile or will they be deleted when updating the app?

Thx for a short answer!

if you update through google play as usual, all data is preserved.

Hi Carlo! I'm using your App for the first time. I can upload my activities from a 920xt onto my Samsung Galaxy S5 but I can't export them to Garmin Connect. I always get a connection error message. I might have missed a post but actually I can't find any solution. Any Idea ?

most common errors:
- using the wrong id/pwd. Remember that the id/pwd for the garmin mobile app (if you're using it) are not necessarily the same that you use for garmin connect. My app needs those for garmin connect.
- leaving extra spaces in the id / pwd.

If that's not your case, I need to see a transfer log. See the answers page for details on how to send one.

the app has been updated recently to reflect changes in garmin connect, but these are from a few days ago. Anyway make sure you're using version 8.7.

If you haven't been able to upload for a while, it's more likely that you haven't given garmin your consent, following GDPR. See http://www.sportablet.com/blog/accept-garmin-connect-policy-to-keep-uploading-data

I usually notify people using facebook and twitter when these things happens, so make sure you follow sportablet on one of those.
