Thanks for the information @turbo19
This post is offered in case it provides information that is useful. Similar set up, different experience. I'm not saying it is better or will solve your problem. But something in here may suggest something to you - because I have never had BT disconnect as you have.
My experience with music via BT from the phone is limited. I checked it out at lenght with the Zumo 595 when the spotify app worked. But it was a disaster. It would work at home, but on the move, it kept cutting out. And the more I ignored it, the worse it got.
I stopped trying to fix it - hence my limited experience. If I want music - which is rare - I use the Zumo's MP3 Player.
I have an XT2 with an Android phone and a Cardo Packtalk Edge. This setup has been 100% reliable.
But
I updated Tread to 2.09.51 yesterday and have yet to try it.
I do not have a BT link between my phone and the Cardo. Once the Cardo is set up by using the phone app, I break that connection. My only reason for doing this is that I suspected that having the set up shown below:
Cardo <----------------->Phone AND Phone <----->XT2<----->Cardo
might present a few issues. I don't know whether it would or not but it looks like a loop to me - so my instinct was to prevent it.
So my Zumo XT2 is paired to my Cardo as a second phone.
That leaves the first phone channel free to connect to the Cardo App without disturbing anything else.
I heve never knowingly had the tread app running on the screen of my phone when riding - so it never synchs while on the move. With the Android, traffic, weather, messages still come through even when the app has been swiped off the screen. I don't know whether that is the case with the iphone.
Did your break in the BT connection happen before 2.09.51 came out (22 Oct 24) ?
Just posing the question. I don't need an answer.
