rorydewet Posted May 20, 2019 Share So my wife's firm has given her a new phone. A Huawei P10 lite. We have tried and tried but we can get her Garmin Forerunner 735XT to link to the Huawei. Googled it. Its a known issue. They dont link. My question is 2 fold. Has anyone figured out a work around to the above. The 2nd question is more of a vent. Neither Garmin nor Huawei are small companies. Cant they sit together and sort out this stuff that the 2 products can link to one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezer Posted May 20, 2019 Share Do you mean through the garmin connect, or for notifications?I have a P10 lite and my garmin-forerunner-30 works perfectly through the app, I haven't tried the notification yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant they sit together and sort out this stuff that the 2 products can link to one another. Same issue with my P20 and my Garmin(s)Cant remember exactly what I did but they both (edge 520 and Fenix 5x) work perfectly now with the phone. In the battery settings for battery usage you have to set the app launch to manage manually or the phone will dump the connection to save battery... pretty pointless as my battery lasts a full day and a half with fairly heavy usage and watch always connected.

Grease_Monkey Posted May 20, 2019 Share Google just pulled Huawei's license to use android on all future devices. That alone rules out any and all Huawei devices for me. Flatdog7, VolkAdik and Dexter-morgan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted May 20, 2019 Share I’ve had the same issue with my SO’s Huawei (don’t know what model it is). These steps worked: https://support.garmin.com/en-ZA/?faq=3qBFoCgeH428IUUfc0SpZ7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr3mlin131 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Huawei do not play nice with most other Bluetooth devices. This includes my Garmin, Wahoo and even discovery thingy. IT works some times, but a pain in the ass most of the time to get to connect. By this I mean turning Bluetooth on and off or restarting phone usually gets it going. Next phone will not be a Huawei.

It's okay if we spy on you, but you can't do anything that we think looks even remotely like monitoring and collecting info, which is what we do all the time but that's not the same thing....

That makes a lot more sense. Still, what I've posted above has been the narrative for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted May 20, 2019 Share Huawei did business with Iran and violated US sanctions, so Google, Qualcomm, Intel have ceased doing business with them, from some article I read.AFAIK thats not the issue.IP theft, and potential spying are the most cited reasons. (Obviously with the trade-war). https://www.google.co.za/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/the-huawei-controversy-everything-you-need-to-know/ BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barend de Arend Posted May 20, 2019 Share Huawei did business with Iran and violated US sanctions, so Google, Qualcomm, Intel have ceased doing business with them, from some article I read. They stopped because of a US legal requirement. I'm sure they'd want the money otherwise. It's also not because of any potential trade with Iran. It's either because:- China uses Huawei to spy (US hasn't provided details)- US cannot use Huawei to spy like they use Cisco and Qualcomm to spyor maybe both. intern, ChUkKy and DJR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickjay007 Posted May 20, 2019 Share I've heard that you need to stop Google play services first before pairing your Garmin. I also found this article which might help: http://www.lampdocs.com/fixing-garmin-connect-bluetooth-pairing-issue-with-huawei-phone/ Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted May 20, 2019 Share Not exactly the same as you, but my P20 and fenix 3 sync fine. Switch on both bluetooths, phone says something about access required, notifications have stopped, blah blah, but garmin connect updates fine and thats all I need. both bluetooths off straight after upload done.

Hairy Posted May 20, 2019 Share Sorry for the hi-jack, how you guys finding your P10 lite batteries ... 1 and a bit years in and it can show 40%, then a few moments later just drop down to 0% and switch off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
