sync up tracker goes offline
I recently bought a Sync up tracker. It has randomly gone offline randomly a couple times. Battery still has 30-40% charge when it does it, and the only way I can get it back online is to put it on a charger and hold the power button down. It happens after the tracker has been stationary for 2-3 days. Anyone have thoughts on what causes this?

I've had SyncUp for a couple of years now and in the past it has infrequently gone offline maybe once every one to two months requiring a power cycle. For the month of March, 2023, it has been awful and seems to go offline on a daily basis, while fully charged and in a coverage area. Even when it's offline and the tracker moves into a strong coverage area, it stays offline until someone physically cycles power on it. I'm not sure if it's a problem with a recent firmware/mobile-app upgrade or if there's a hardware issue with the device. Either way, it's rendering this device useless and I'm close to cancelling the service. How wide spread is this issue? How many others are seeing the same behavior? Thanks...

That's why I got rid of mine a few months ago.

Is this problem still going on for others? I bought one last week and it turned itself off after about three days with 25% of battery power still there (according to the app).

I just bought a bundle of 3 this past weekend, installed them and was very happy with my testing...initially. 1 day later I used the app to share the device statuses with my wife. All was well again... 1 day later all 3 device configurations have disappeared from my phone. I called tech support and they said they were not aware of any issues. They obviously have not read these comment chains. It's a great idea but I guess either the hardware or software is lousy. I'm bummed but it won't keep me from returning the devices.
Thanks everyone for describing your experiences here. It's been very helpful.

My syncup trackers seems to be failing as well, I have three active tractors working on equipment that I own. Sporadically , it asked me to enter the IMEI numbers or scam the QR codes like im setting up new trackers on this account. Very frustrating because the equipment that I'm tracking is my livelihood and not cheap. Any moderator or T-Mobile technicians that monitor this page, can you help or assist them what's going on ! I remove the app from my device and also cleared memory and cache. Sometimes it comes back online and shows me the real time location, then I attempt to update and it's not updating and not showing the true locations.
The tracker will give me alerts such as light detection and sometimes update on the tracker in motion, but when I hit the map to check the device location, it'll show a location from hours prior.

I've had these trackers for several years. They now work better than before. Also, I recommend routinely rebooting them every week… just like yur computer or cell phone.

How do you reboot the tracker?
- TBagNewbie Caller
Hold down the button until the little light starts blinking like a xmas 🎄 tree. I'm not sure the button has any other use.

I held down the reset button and nothing happened. I had my new tracker for less than a week and it went offline.
