Thought I'd try one of these. Works just fine. Dowloaded garmin Connect just fine. My last two rides are shown on the phone app. Looking at the settings Stava is connected to the app. the app says that data will automatically be downloaded. Everything seems in order. I've Googled aall over the place and everything seems to be as it should be.
Strava tells me that I'm connected to it. App tells me that I'm connected to Strava.
Only one problem...App isn't uploading to Strava. I can't see any reason why not, so does anyone know what I might have missed?
Are the rides showing on Garmin on the web?
The route should be Vivoactive -> Garmin Connect phone app -> Garmin on the web -> Strava
I think... that's how mine works (and Garmin posts to Training Peaks as well as Strava)
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the software, also disconnecting and reconnecting the watch from Connect. It is a bit buggy early on, but settles to work seemlessly, I've had 2 Vivoactive HRs and both have did that.
Ive Vivoactive HR. It requires opening the app each time and synching - doesnt sync in the background
mine's twice wobbled and wouldnt sync. Unlinking Strava then relinking worked once. Once I had to unlink and then factory reset the watch then link again

When I finish a run, mine has sync'd to Strava by the time I get my laces undone, only exception to this is on a sunday, when it seems slow - volume issue I'd imagine.

Yes. All correct except the last bit to Strava.

Just signed up to Training Peaks, but that won't sync old stuff; only new activity after I've registered.

That's not good. I can't see me messing around like that every time.

In reality, it's opening an app on your phone, and pressing one button. Not like we used to have to, usb cable into a laptop!.

Sorry, misread that. I've had app open all day while on my ride. Unit seems to have downloaded to app, but it's after there that things seem to be sticking.
I'm busy uninstalling/reinstalling at present.
The app is picking up my Strava account.
The ride is on the app in full detail; all segments etc. are showing.
But for some reason ride won't go from app to Strava.
Strava tech guys are usually very good, any time I've had an issue, worth a chat.
I've looked at my Strava account and that says that the setup for auto downloads is in place.
So it's either my phone (a six month old Samsung Android), the app, of some form of glitch in the relationship between the two.
I'll see if I can find the Strava guys.
Could always ring Garmin. They too are usually veruy good.
reinstall and reboot the phone
I use both and there are times that it hows on Strava before Connect. Never had a problem with it syncing. Leave the Connect app open and it syncs as soon as you save the activity
Reinstalled and rebooted. No change.
I seem to be getting notifications from Strava to my phone. Knlh seems to be one way conversation. Very strange.

Thanks. That's what I was expecting. Something odd somewhere. Time to speak to the boffins.
Try recording a new activity on the watch and seeing if it will sync now.
I seem to remember having issues when I linked Garmin connect and Strava. It wouldn't sync anything that had already taken place before the 2 apps were linked as I would have expected it to.
Aye, what hooli says, it will only sync stuff post fix.
"Ive Vivoactive HR. It requires opening the app each time and synching – doesnt sync in the background"
thats a phone issue.
is it an apple per chance ? apples a bit funny about auto syncing in the back ground.
my moto6 , garmin 235 , garmin connect all speak to each other automatically.

You may have hit on something there. I've just done a one minute "run", sat at my desk, and that has auto uploaded. We may be getting somewhere. I'll try it again on tomorrow's bike ride.

Phone does sync in the background. I have a little symbol that tells me it's doing it.
