[Closed] Does Wahoo randomly decide not to upload?

My ride today, which I recorded on Wahoo, is not syncing to Strava. I have checked that everything is properly set up, but when I look at the ride on Wahoo, it’s just scrolling and saying ‘Waiting...’

Does anyone else get this from time to time? Every other ride has gone to Strava automatically over the last week.

Will it just sort itself out and upload later?

Edit: I should add that it seems to be struggling with Ride With GPS as well.

Yes - happens occasionally, always untangled itself in the past.
I sometimes wonder if it is at the strava end as I sometimes get training peaks and RwGPS fine then strava a few hours later.

You can possibly force upload in from the app by selecting the ride and re-trying to strava from there

In two years use i think i have had this twice, and never since the last firmware upgrade.

Remove the account link to strava and set it up again.

There was a spate of this earlier in the year, solved by an update.

Last week mine was syncing to Strava, but not to the Wahoo app on my phone. Eventually sorted itself but not sure how

I've had this a lot in the last week or so. Taking ages to upload to Strava / Ride with GPS.

Also having to pair the Wahoo to my phone via bluetooth, and prompt it to sync that way.

Yes. I usually end up forcing it from the app.

Never really had this happen until the start of August this year, seems to sort itself out or you have to force it to upload.

I have just tried everything. I de-synced the phone from the Wahoo and the Wahoo from the Strava and re-introduced them, and, well... everything I could possibly think of to force the Wahoo to send the data to both Strava and RideWithGPS.

But to no avail.

When I force today’s ride data to send, I just get a three dots and the ‘Waiting’ message.

My rides spend a lot of time "Queued" rather than "Uploaded" at the moment.

This afternoon I left it an hour or so, opened the app up again and that seemed to remind it to start the uploads.

It happened to me earlier this week, I was having an issue with live track not working too so decided to start again with everything that usually works.
I saved the ride by emailing it to myself from the app as a back up (which was needed), then did a full forget the phone, forget the head unit, factory reset the unit, reinstall every thing and that sorted it out.
I’ve had to do this a couple of other times in a good few years of Wahoo usage. Takes about 10 minutes once you’ve added all the sensors back and changed the pages and light settings.

Mine has been playing up tonight, recorded on my element bolt and says uploaded to Strava but it's not showing up, been 2 hrs pretty much.

Yes, mine hasn't worked (automatically) for a few months now. Only tried to fix it for the first time last week by unsyncing the unit from the app, and removing the Stava connection. It didn't work.

It does still work fine if I go to Routes and hit Sync, so it's not too bad. Just not quite as great as auto-upload on WiFi before you've even got through your front door.

Mine's started working fine again now! I removed the Strava account and added again (like a did a few weeks ago). Back to auto-uploading again 🙂
