@stinkytofus I'm thinking that your issues are something to do with the Bluetooth version of the new pixel (5.0).
EDIT - JUST HAD A QUICK READ AND BLUETOOTH 5 IS BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE.
I had this issue when I wanted a smart pedometer a few years ago none of the Bluetooth radio versions were compatible with my old phone. I ended up getting one that synced with my pc via a dedicated USB dongle.
I think this is one of the reasons why the iPhone apps for many products will sync a lot easier than android versions. Actual hardware and drivers play a big role in things like this. With Apple products they dictate the hardware inside the phone/device where an android could have infinite possibilities. Being honest I'm doubtful that your new pixel will recognise the mv1. I hope I'm wrong here. Thing is I'm in a similar situation. Just got a Samsung s7 active and I have to pair again every so often up until then I used an old don't that wouldn't update. I want something that just works, i have an i pad and the ghost app works great with that (had to select iphone apps in the app store) so now im considering going to iphone again or even an iPod touch. I just wish things could be more simple and straight forward but I guess that's what we get for using technology like this. It's not an abacus, there's going to be things that go wrong and the more you throw in there as a variable the more chance there is of it going wrong.
