Garmin server issues

[kppolich]

I wonder what happened as Garmin hasn't been too busy developing any new features or products. It's not like the pile of Tech Debt around security could have been that high? Or could it?

They do integrate with quite a few vendors, likely an inside job there.

That doesn't make it right.

Yeah seems to be back, I got a strava message saying that a few of my things uploaded overnight.

I’m not saying you’re wrong. Neither of us are “in the room”.

But given that the execs will be on the hook for jail time if they pay up - plus given how much press this has gotten - i’d be seriously surprised if they paid the ransom.

Maybe some things working and some not, my forerunner still not syncing, phone app says "down for maintenance"

I was able to sync with my old 500 and it sort of worked. It said the sync was complete, but when it tried to check for new updates, it reported an error about not being able to communicate with their servers.

To answer my question, it doesn't appear that I have any duplicate entries on Strava for the rides I uploaded directly.

Yeah same here, when I go to garmin connect on my laptop it comes up, but when I try to connect my Vivosport to my phone app the app still says servers are down and it isn't loading any data and the same goes for my sons Vivopsort Jr.

Maybe they only paid $5 million.

My Fenix synced this AM for the first time in days. Looks like all my data is available. Correct that, only some

Bunch of MBAs got involved, not the teck folks

Just plugged my Vivosport into my laptop and I am still getting the "server down" message on the Garmin Express app.

It also still says "down for maintenance" on the Junior app
