SyncUp Drive not working
I bought a SyncUp drive from Tmobile and tried to connect it with my car. But it did not work. I literally tried everything so I just thought it was defective. So I exchanged with a new one. I tried the new one out, plugged it to my car, and still did not connect with my car. The app says "unplugged" and when I try to connect to the hotspot, it takes me to the website that says "Get Started" but it greys out and says error, "can't open page". This is literally the only product from Tmobile that I'm really disappointed. I already talked to many people from support and were no help. I wasted 150 dollars for nothing then. And yes my car is compatible. The only thing that works on this drive is the GPS
That's weird that they didn't do any troubleshooting after confirming it was activated. I'm wondering if your plan has the proper SyncUp feature attached to it (only Care over the phone/chat or T-Force on Facebook/Twitter will be able to tell). We also need to verify that the SIM number on file matches on our end. There's definitely some troubleshooting we can complete after confirming it's activated. Try working with T-Force over Facebook or Twitter and let me know how that goes. You can also link them to this thread, if needed.

The SyncUP drive app is defective. Stop making excuses for a product that obviously wasn't fully tested before hitting the market and an app that definitely wasn't assembled correctly. Amanda I understand that you're a member of T-Mobile(somehow) and you're doing what you can to put in a hood word for the company's sake, but misleading people by making them think there's more they can do as a customer to fix the problem is a real slap in the face. I build apps in Xcode. I know when an app isn't developed correctly.

I had the Sprint Drive for 2 years and had NO ISSUES. I was forced to upgrade to SyncUP Drive and the thing has done nothing but piss me off.
It doesn’t show fuel level on my daughters car but shows on mine, it notifies that a trip was ended WHILE DRIVING, none of my 3 devices show the engine health, it’s not recording trips on my wife’s truck.
I do not care for SyncUP Drive and will be returning themI want Sprint Drive back.

just got 2 of these. i’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app multiple times. i’ve deleted and reinstalled the device in the app. i’ve tried pressing the reset on the device. nothing seems to work. led 1 light continues to blink. bluetooth often times has a hard time finding the device (not sure this is even necessary). device consistently says it’s unplugged. doesn’t have anything to do with “going for a drive” because i’ve driven 15 minutes a couple of times and for an hour yesterday after spending about 30 minutes talking to t-mobile, who could offer no solutions. said device was probably bad, take it to a store and let them check it and they’d mark the account for exchange. went to store this morning who said they didn’t have any way to check the device and also that they didn’t have any in the store and even if they did they couldn’t exchange it because it was bought with “telesales” and would have to come out of their inventory not the store.
daughter hadn’t tried her device yet, we just tried the original device and the second device in her car with the same results.
i’m ready to return these and get them off my bill. what a waste of time.

I'm going to the same issue right now is been 4 days going back and forward to the store and over the phone the representative try there best but after 2 hours with no result they give up and tell me to exchange it for another one and i did, the new one have the same issue, i try to check and it said is unplug, when is plug in and on, go for a run and this app will update but it doesn't after more that 1h driving it did not happen, i did a troubleshooting and the device is connect to the GPS and also to T-Mobile network but the Syncup drive status is red base on the troubleshooting if the GPS is green and the Network is green but the Syncup drive status is not green it means is not connecting to the cloud data base and that is why is not displaying any of my car info, i told the TMobile representative and guess what? They don't even know what is the cloud data base, they think I'm talking about the icloud which is an apple storage exclusive for apple devices in the cloud even that i all ready tell them i own a Pixel 6 which is Android 12 and anyway it doesn't have nothing to do with that, it has to do with the data base in the cloud for the syncUp, so as I'm writing this I'm on hold for another tech and is been another hour of me weting for s representative to come and help and I'm not happy at all because i waste over 35 dollar on gas back and forward to the store and over 8 hours in 4 day talking with techs. The hotspot work perfectly but that is the last thing i need, i bought this cause i want to monitor my daughter when she use my car because she like to run fast and also because the road assistance if she need it and I'm not close to her, i want to clarify I'm not mad a TMobile or any of the people that help me they did awesome and they did the best they can, I'm just surprised that T-Mobile is not training better there people to help with this device, if you can't troubleshooting then don't sale it please.

Hey there! I'm sorry the second SyncUp device isn't working for you. When you talked to support over the phone, what exactly did they test? Do you show any lights on your device when it's plugged into your car? When you access the app does it display your vehicle's info?

They haven't tested nothing. They just checked if the drive was activated and all that. They said everything is okay and they're not sure why it's not connecting with my car. I believe it has something to do with my account. And also, the drive does show green lights. When I go to the app, it just says device unplugged. It displays nothing of my vehicle.

I'm having the same problems. I have 2 green lights on and my account is saying it is active on the Sync up.

I have the exact same issue and have been troubleshooting for 2 months. Had the device swapped. Called in and went into a store. Still not working but paying for service.
This was marked as solved, but what was the solution? - howllowpoint175Network Novice
