larkim Sep 2022 4:08pm, 13 Sep 2022 18,956 posts	larkim I don't get ads on spotify as I pay for premium Offline on my phone it all works fine, so the tracks get pre-inserted. It's only when I used the direct Spotify "app" on the watch that the music doesn't get included. I know I could create a MP3 of the stuff and transfer it over, but the use case is "it's 3 minutes before I'm going out for a run, maybe tonight I'll do music for a change, can I press two buttons on my watch to get the latest Running Hour podcast sync'd to my watch". I suspect given that the way it is created (called "Music & talk" in Spotify language) simply isn't coded for in the Spotify "app" on the watch. I can (and do) use other podcatchers etc, but still wouldn't work for these ones as they are very much Spotify only (given they access the Spotify library of music by design). Normal podcasts are not an issue.

SPR Sep 2022 7:45pm, 13 Sep 2022 38,244 posts	SPR I have an old Garmin 230 that refuses to connect to GPS. Have left it on the and it doesn't even look like it's improving in terms of getting a better signal. Any ideas? It has been off for awhile but now fully up to date. Deleted the EPO file just in case that would help but no joy.
chunkywizard Sep 2022 8:17pm, 13 Sep 2022 14,826 posts	chunkywizard The 12h vs 24h is usually a disconnect between the watch setting and the Garmin Connect setting. Make sure they are both set to the same thing.

Flatlander Sep 2022 9:06pm, 13 Sep 2022 2,589 posts	Flatlander Thanks for that chunkywizard I had similarly been getting vexed by my 235 keep reverting to 12 hour format despite me repeatedly changing it to 24 hour. Went onto Garmin Connect, changed that to 24 hour as well and now the 235 is showing 24 hour format. I hope that lasts.

Flatlander Sep 2022 9:10pm, 13 Sep 2022 2,590 posts	Flatlander Mind you, when I changed Garmin Connect, GC wanted to install an Emergency Update for a Time Zone Map on the 235 so I don't know if that had anything to do with it, although my 245 wants to install the same Emergency Update.
