Look on the bright side (of life). All the hours of puzzling how to make it behave.

I'm just not letting them think that we don't matter. Not that it will bother them one bit.

New Tread version for Android:

2.12.50 (2026-01-08)

Thanks release notes available ?

Has anyone noticed any improvement in how routes transferred from the Tread app to the XT2 are handled? Does it still mess them up?

Looks to have deleted the "generic restrition" warning about where there might be a traffic jam

Tread app 2.12.50 (2026-01-08)
I observe the same synchronization issues I've had for the past two years.
My test examples haven't really shown any positive changes.
Endless back-and-forth synchronization in seemingly endless loops, route calculation (sometimes) not possible, and multiple identical trip files for one route in the device.

Have you tried deleting Tread and removing the BT links, and re-pairing the phone and XT2? Apologies if you already have, not trying to teach grandma how to suck eggs!

You have to delete and reinstall the Tread App on your phone as well.

Start with a clean phone and XT2. Then install Tread, and link to the phone - but do not give permission to store data or to synch. That allows data - weather, traffic, up-ahead, fuel on route with prices etc. But you have to transfer routes using the SD card or by USB cable. Best to store on the SD card with the XT2.

Hi @Oop North John ,

Thank you for reminding me.
To rule out this such kind of problems completely, I reseted the Bluetooth connections (zumo XT2 and Android smartphone), deleted all Tread App data and uninstalled the Tread app, and rebuilt everything from scratch.
As expected, the result is disappointing and unchanged: I am still observeing endless synchronizations and multiple Trip files on my divice.

Then there's the tip that a reset can help, especially if inexplicable problems arise despite all checks. This applies to operating systems, software, smartphones, navigation systems, or whatever.
But, and this is the key point, in most cases (maybe less than 10%), a reset doesn't really help and “only” creates a lot of unnecessary work to restore everything to how it was before. Ergo, reset yes, but really only when nothing else helps.
I should also mention here that I hate such “modern” tips, which are far too easily given “just like that” by the manufacturers' support staff.


But thank you for mentioning the reset tip anyway, it kept me entertained, busy and allowed me to rule that out for us
