Re: smart notifications not working

The user manual says from main screen select the 4 squares icon, scroll down to Smart Notifications to list all notifications. When I do this it says Open Tread app on phone. But it’s already open, running and connected to my XT2! These sure are confusing and unnecessarily over complicated f ...

Re: smart notifications not working

Dont forget the the list of announcements to come through is on the XT2 itself - not on the tread app. Yes I know, I keep my iPhone in my pocket when riding and only use the XT2. I am wondering if the GPS has got to be moving ? Reason I think this might be the case - I have yet to get messages ...

Re: smart notifications not working

I’ve tried texting from a different phone, I had my son text me whilst I was on the bike, I heard the ding in my helmet to alert that a text had been rcvd but nothing popped up on the XT2 screen. I’ve tried all the suggestions, unpaired and repaired everything, reinstalled Tread, reset all the not ...

Re: smart notifications not working

Ok, thanks for that, although I don’t recall ever seeing a text message pop-up on my XT2 even before the latest update. Garmin have been around for a long time, you’d think they’d have their software sorted out by now; The cheap Chinese carplay devices seem to manage it ok. Maybe they will release an ...

Re: smart notifications not working

I already tried unpairing/re-pairing everything and the phone is set to allow notifications from the tread app, but it makes no difference. Thank you for the time you’ve spent going over and above trying to help, much appreciated. I’m open to further suggestions from anyone reading this, but for now ...

Re: smart notifications not working

Thanks for the reply John. I’ve gone through every setting I can find, both on the XT2 and on the iphone Tread app. On the XT2 phone settings it just says my iphone is connected for calls, media audio and the Tread app. On the Tread app, theres a setting to enable smart notifications; when I select t ...

smart notifications not working

According to the user manual I should see smart notifications, txt messages etc, on my XT2 when it connected to Tread app on my iphone 15. I always have Tread connected but I’ve never seen any text messages notifications on the XT2 screen. Anyone know how to make smart notifications appear on the X ...

closed roads notifications?

My XT2 has routed me via roads that are closed for repairs 4 times over the last week. It looks like many will be shut for weeks, so not just a temporary one day jobs. This is annoying, not just in city centres which have many one-way streets, but also in rural areas where an alternative road could ...

Re: Garmin cradle question

Andy, that’s a 4 year old thread. I’ve got an XT2 now. But thanks for the info which may be of use to someone else.

Re: MP3 Music Playlist creator needed

I just tried doing what ikraus suggested, using SENDTO although I can’t see how the xt2 will correct the paths to the files in the playlist. I copied a folder of mp3 music files to C: drive. I created a M3U playlist with VLC media Then used right click SEND TO the XT2. The playlist appeared in the r ...
