Garmin Connect Woes [solved]

9/16/2016

[update: problem has been solved, see here]

The guys at garmin have made major changes again. In turn:

- they may require you to update your password. So log into their website from a browser, update the password if asked to, then update in my apps.

- they have changed the login procedure (at least) and my app won't work anyway as of this moment. I'm investigating the required changes, doesn't look like it will be a quick thing. I do not have an ETA, it's not an exact science.

If you have purchased the app in the past few days and you feel outraged, feel free to contact me for a refund (I'll need your order number). If you feel like you need to go and downrate the app on google play, go ahead; some have already done so, I'm no longer trying to explain why it's the wrong thing to do.

Please follow sportablet on twitter or facebook for updates. I need to focus on the fix. Thanks.

Hey,

you`ve solved the Problems in the past and I know you solve them now and in the future. Garmin didn`t ask me to updating my password, so i save my workout as fit.file and upload manually.

Go ahead!

Ciao

I did change my password in Garmin website. They asked for change, as you said. Now, I'm putting the same password in your app. And now, just waiting for your update. I like your app, and I trust in your job.

Bye,

Elano

Carlo, I have a garmin edge 705 which I connect to my samsung S5, but if I want to upload my data I need to remove my SD card otherwise it gives an error. Any suggestions?

you probably need to update your password (looking at the latest post usually helps :-) http://www.sportablet.com/blog/garmin-connect-issues-solved
