Yes.

Until I started experimenting with Tread, everything worked fine. Basecamp routes imported and behaved. Phone worked every time.
RUT symptoms were improved (but not cured).

The only issues were

Tendency to head for faster roads, rather than fastest. But not so different from XT

Rut behaviour still exists, but solved by using the Copy facility. The copied route is identical but set as saved, rather than imported.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

I'm not sure what is not happening.

The phone rings and then ...... ?
I notice the phone keeps cutting off.

I have noticed different behaviour with my phone when connected by BT.

When connected by BT, it behaves differently when the phone is on (as if I was using it ) when the call is made
from when it is 'off' screen blank - as if it was in my pocket.

But I have yet to fiddle with the settings to see what this behaviour actually is, and whether the settings change it.

The bluetooth from XT2 disconnects when Tread App syncs. I just touch the screen to show that the bluetooth disconnects from both the phone and the intercom. There are also interruptions with syncs, and the XT2 asks you to reconnect to the Tread App. It seems that bluetooth saturates when there is a call if Explore sync is active in Tread App.

The only way I have found to synchronize external things (in my case almost all tracks and wp) is by inserting them through the XT2's internal memory (either in the GPX folder of the internal memory or in the MicroSD). This way, once synchronized with the Tread App, Bluetooth interruptions do not occur.
