Bluetooth problems with Garmin fenix 3

Hi

I connected my Xperia Z5 Premium to the Garmin fenix 3 via Bluetooth. It works, but sometimes the fenix 3 will be disconnected. Sometimes it will be connected after a while and sometimes I have to disable and enable bluetooth on my sony.

What could be the problem?

Thank you

I am having the same problem. Did not have an issue with my z3. I'm wondering if there is a setting to override power management, although I have now turned off all stamina power management and it still happens. I first noticed that my fenix3 was dropping battery faster than previous. I think it is due to trying to connect and reconnect...

+1 with Polar V800 + Z5 Compact. Slightly_frowning_Face 

My previous phone (Z3 Compact) synced fine with my V800.

exactly as my experience from Z3C to Z5C with fenix 3

did you noticed, you cant get the fenix 3 into the smart connect app to manage the actions?

It has also problems to keep the BT connection with other devices (Ford Sync) and the deleted BT devices are lasting in Smart Connect...

Hi!

I've got the same problems with my Z5 connecting to Garmin FR-235

I've tried the suggestions above, but it still disconnects randomly (usually after a few hours, always during the night)

It's very frustrating, please give some advice on what to do?

Still problems with 235. 

It looses bluetooth connection randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, usually after a few hours.

Any ideas?
