Anyone using a Garmin device and has it stopped syncing to MFP like mine has?

I've been using a Vivosmart fitness band for the last few weeks and have loved it. It counts my steps, converts them to calories burned and then automatically uploads this from the Garmin Connect app to MFP. Or at least it did, until the last day or two when it has just stopped telling MFP. Anyone else having this problem?

    I have the Vivofit and I don't know whether it's a delay or not but I find that after changing the 'activity type' on Garmin Connect (the proper website), it seems to then transfer across ok. Still calls it running even though I have logged it as 'strength training' but hey-ho at least it's on!

    Since last Wednesday Garmin no longer updates my weight... I'm not sure where it gets my weight reading from (I use Withings scales, linked to MFP, which is linked to Garmin Connect, not sure if Withings is/can link to Garmin). I have looked to check the links are enabled in each website, but can't find them. Has there been a change in sharing permissions recently?

    My FR310XT isn't either, and whilst Garmin Connect did sync with Endomondo it didn't with Strava, so it looks like the Garmin end of the relationship

    Looks like it's a MFP issue:

    At least we know they are working on it.

    I commented about this on a previous link about the same thing. I brought myself a Gramin Vitofit wristband and have been using since 29/11/14 - my MFP calories do not show up on the garmin calorie graph so it is not showing calories consumed only the calories I have burnt that is picked up from the Garmin. Thanks to trekkersforever for posting that MFP do know that there is an issue. Hope they get it fixed soon so that both link properly and interface between the two.

    Yep, thanks trekkersforever!! This has been a headache for the last couple of days lol!
    Luckily I can see my "active" calories on Connect after I sync vivofit with my smartphone or on my laptop, but it doesn't sync over to mfp!!
    Hope they fix it soon!! :wink:
