syncup kids watch school mode

Hi folks. I got the SyncUP watch for my kiddo yesterday, and I can’t get the school mode schedule to work. I set up a schedule, but it is not following the schedule. It’s randomly turning itself off and on, almost like the time is wrong. Is it a time zone issue? Has anyone run into this? The watch updated last night, so that shouldn’t be the problem.

No internet on T-Mobile Hotspot

I recently purchased a T-Mobile 5G hotspot.  The problem I’m having is, when I turn it on it boots fine but is VERY slow to connect to the internet.  I get at least 3 or more bars (usually 4 or 5) of 5G service, but the checkmark next to the globe stays an X with no internet.  If I power cycle the unit it will sometimes connect right away but not always.  Is this normal?

I used to be able to access all websites from my laptop via hotspot, but lately I can't access some websites (amazon, ebay, etc). Has anyone reported this?Phone: iPhone SEPlan: T-mobile OneLaptop OS: Windows 7Web browser: Firefox or ChromeI can access many sites (such as yahoo), but not others. When I can't access (for example, amazon.com), I get "We can’t connect to the server at www.amazon.com" on firefox or "This site can't be reached" on chrome. I can access amazon from my phone directly. I can also access amazon through my laptop (same laptop) via wifi at home.Please let me know if you need additional information.

Timex FamilyConnect having problems charging

Hello community, I would like to know if other people is having the same problem. My kid's watch Timex FamilyConnect is taken each day longer to be fully charged, I mean considerably. I have this one since four months ago and to have full charge from around 20%, it is taken like 10 -14 hours. And despite it is at 100% charged overnight, the charging led stay on red color and the watch is hot; sometimes with a message in the display about hot temperature. My feeling is that the battery is getting degradase quickly and I would like to know if other parents are facing the same issue?BRJaime

Sync Drive critical battery

I am an employee of T-mobile. I purchased the sync up drive for my own personal use. During the 2nd week, it kept telling me that my battery was low, and failing. A couple of days later I had to have my alternator replaced which cost me $450.00. Since my issue, i have come across other customers that have returned this device.One customer said she was getting the same battery failing message. Another customer returned her device after she too,had to get her alternator replaced. By no means am I saying the sync up drive is causing this. But I am suggesting that there may be a correlation between these battery issues and the sync up drive device. How do I look into this?

syncUp kids stuck in silent mode

My childs new watch cannot send or receive phone calls or texts from anyone except my wife and I and she cannot play any games or use the camera. When we try to play the games or use the camera it says that they cannot be used when the phone is in silent mode. Any ideas? The silent mode when you swipe down is not active, so I don’t know what the problem is.

How do I activate my T-Mobile SIM cards using a Netgear LB1120 4G LTE Modem?

I bought three T-Mobile SIM Starter Kits to use in three Netgear LB1120 4G LTE modems. The instructions gave me two ways to activate:1. visit www.t-mobile.com/activation2. call 1-877-778-2019 from your device I can't do 2 because my device does not have the capability to dial out.These Netgear LB1120s do not have dial-out capability. So I tried www.t-mobile.com/activationI got routed to https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/prepaidNow I'm lost.It seems the web sites are always updating beyond what is printed on the instruction sheets. What's the best way to get these SIM cards activated on my three Netgear modems?Also, I will need to be assigned three new phone numbers to manage my T-Mobile Refill cards.The dial-in method works great with T-Mobile Refill cards provided I have phone numbers. Or could I grab an old unlocked GSM phone to do the activation with the T-Mobile app and then move the SIM cards over to the Netgear LB1120 cell modems?Would that work? Be easier to manage?

Does T-Mobile CellSpot work with Mint Mobile?

My neighborhood has T-Mobile coverage, but it is very poor.  I am currently a Verizon customer who plans to switch to Mint Mobile, and I want to get a T-Mobile CellSpot I can connect to the LAN at my house.  Can I expect my Mint Mobile service to be compatible with the T-Mobile CellSpot? Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?  Will it work?

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?

T-Mobile® SyncUP KIDS™ Watch (Sprint)

Hello,Is anyone having issues with the SyncUp Kids Watch 1.5, that is a Sprint customer? I just got my watch today and when I go the app, I created a TMobile ID using my email. When I go to pair the watch, it says “Watch has wrong rate plan. Please contact Customer Care and let our team know your watch has an invalid rate plan.” I have the Unlimited Watch Plan for $15/month. When I called Customer service they switched the plan to the other one, 500mb plan, and it still wasn’t working.We’ve restarted the watch multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I spent hours on the phone with customer service as well the chat sessions. No one has been able to help. They say they have never had this issue, I know that this is the newer version of the watch. Hoping someone is able to help! I’m stuck.

Unable to connect to SyncUP services

My Syncup app started giving me this message after an update in December 2022. After two weeks working with customer service and going to Tmobile stores I was told it was an issue affecting some iphones and that I needed to wait for the next update to the app. I was just able to update the app (March 2023 - 3 months later!) and I am still having the same problem. I am planning to terminate the watch plans for my children because I was only able to use the service promised for a couple of weeks before they made it worthless with an update. Tired of having customer service ask me to delete/reinstall the app and restart my phone. Is there a quick fix that no one is telling me?

SynchUp Watch not charging

My child’s watch charges perfectly fine some nights, other nights it dies while on the charger all night. Wake up and battery is at 5% or something ridiculous. Super annoying. Defeats the whole purpose of having it when it is unusable. If you reset the watch while leaving it on the charging cradle it will begin to charge just fine after the reset. Just a quirk that really stinks when you don’t catch it. Anybody else experience this intermittent charging issue. It seems to be pretty regular lately.

Kids Synchup Watch won't charge

I got my son a synchup watch about 5 weeks ago. He has barely used it because he is on Summer break and home with me. It won’t charge. The charger has been in the same place since we got it. No damage to the watch. Naturally, I didn’t put insurance on it, since it would be the same price as the watch anyway. So, now I’m stuck with this line and no device.

SyncUP kids watch won't accept incoming calls

Got the watch and set up the app and everything is working great. We added contacts and started testing it out. If a contact is designated as a "guardian" they can call the watch, but if a contact is designated as a "friend" then calling the watch gives an error message saying the number doesn't exist. Texting works just fine, and the watch can call out to any of the contacts, the only issue is with incoming calls from "friends".

Sync up drive not reporting trips

I recently installed a sync up drive in my car, and am having the following issues:1. It stopped reporting trip data shortly after the first couple days.2. I get frequent disturbance notifications especially when I'm driving the car.3. The GPS location for where the car is parked is frequently off by several blocks. It seems to report a traffic light, or intersection stop some distance away from where the car is actually parked.4. Hotspot seems to be working ok.Contacted tech support which reset the device remotely. Worked for a day or so, and then the above issues reappeared. The only way I can get it to work properly is to unplug, and replug the device after several minutes before I start the car. It then works for a few hours, and then the issues reappear.Is this a buggy device? What's the fix?Thank you!
