Description Reconnect Garmin Watch - legacy version

The app keeps the connection to your watch and reconnects the watch after being away from phone. It runs in the background and battery usage is very low.
NOTE: This is a legacy version for Android 4, 5 and 6 of my app Reconnect Garmin Watch. It can also be used on Android 7 and 7.1.
The app works for Fenix 3/5, Forerunner 235/735XT/920, vivoactive HR and other models.
When you run the app the first time, it will start Setup. Please follow the instructions exactly.
Huawei phones: Please see text at the bottom
Troubleshooting:
>> On Galaxy phones, you may have to reboot the phone and force stop the "Bluetooth share" app (go to phone Settings - Applications, show system apps - Bluetooth share - Force Stop).
>> When Vivoactive HR disconnects, sometimes you have to go into Garmin Connect menu - Garmin Devices, and then turn off Bluetooth on the phone. Connect should prompt you to turn on Bluetooth again; do it and wait 10-20 sec, and then the watch should reconnect. (You should also have Location Services turned on in Android settings!)
>> Some phones (like Lenovo) may only work if the watch BLE-ANT firmware is downgraded. You need to Google a file called something like GUP1909.BIN and upload it to the watch from a computer.
>> If the watch shows it's CONNECTED but you don't get any notifications:
* Open Garmin Connect and select Settings - Smart Notifications. Disable and enable one of the notifications, like Incoming Calls. This could make Connect ask for permissions.
* If it keeps asking for permissions even though you gave permission then restart the phone.
-- If it doesn't ask for permissions:
* Go to your phone's Settings - Apps - Connect - Permissions and enable all permissions
