[Closed] What is it with Wahoo not synching at the moment?

I know a few people had issues with Wahoo randomly deciding not to automatically synch to Strava a while back - deauthorise, reauthorise and all would be well. For a couple of rides. Then it would go again at random. And repeat.

Now I'm getting the same with RidewithGPS and Relive as well as Strava - synchs quite happily one day, drops one or the other the next.

Anyone else getting this before I try their tech support? The cynic in me wonders if there is a connection between my Bolt playing up and deals to be had on a Roam

My Bolt seems to sync with Strava fine, sorry.

It's hit and miss here. Everything goes up to RWGPS but sometimes routes don't come down to the device without being forced from the phone. (If I force a phone sync I then end up with two of the last ride synced to RWGPS). I let RWGPS sync across to Strava.

Might try the RidewithGPS to Strava option

I had this issue last week, and solved it via back-and-forth with Wahoo's Support (who I'd say were rather pleasingly responsive and well informed, compared to some companies).

What cured it was basically killing everything and starting again:

Sign out of Strava, RideWithGPS and Komoot, then forgetting my home WiFi network on the Wahoo, forgetting the Wahoo from the Elemnt app on the iPhone, then deleting the Elemnt app on my phone.

Then reinstall Elemnt app from the App Store, scan QR code on Bolt, connect to home WiFi network, let it sync (for ages, as it'll resync your history, which in my case, was lengthy), and all has been good since.

I did wonder if starting from scratch might be a solution.

I'd struggled to get the app to sync at all with Strava week before last.

Uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working... sort of.

Now, it syncs the ride summary, but there's no segment data, nor elevation data, so only half a job.

Zwift syncs fine.

But real rides only give me heart rate (from my Tickr) and nowt else.

What gives?

I thought it was just me... to get the bolt to upload to Strava I opened the Element app, clicked on the history tab and refreshed the page. It takes one or two goes but seems to work. You may have to close and reopen the app.

I thought it was just me. And when it syncs to Strava it goes in as a workout. Maybe if I start Strava at the same time it might help. Worried it will kill the battery.
Today my distance, speed and HR numbers varied a few percent from Yahoo to Strava, and not in a flattering way.

I did unsync Strava and it didn't seem to do anything. Will try a "full" unsync by deleting WiFi and Komoot too.

At the moment I've found that if I go to Routes and then Sync it will also upload my activities to Strava. So 2 clicks on the Bolt, which isn't too bad in the interim.
