Can't Change Administrator Photo in T-Life

Hi, I’m setting up a syncup watch for my child and put in my contact info in the t-life app as the administrator. I want to change my profile photo, but every time I try I get “Something went wrong. Please try again.” error message. I’m doing this in the manage watch contacts setting.  Is there somewhere else I can do this or a different setting?  I also get the same error message if I only try to change avatars.  I tried deleting the watch, deleting the app and reinstalling, but the same original avatar showed up and I can’t change it.

  • Hey, for anyone still trying to figure this out. I did. When you install the T-Life app, it asks you for access to your contacts. That could be Google Contacts, M365 Contacts, Samsung Contacts, or whatever you use for contacts. I use Google.

    You have to update the profile picture in your contacts. Then you have to uninstall and reinstall the T-Life app to reset the permissions. Then, it will re-ask for permission and pull the correct profile picture.

    I hope that helps.

      Of Course this only shows in your T-Life App and doesn't sync with the T-Mobile Website as a whole. I had to add myself as contact on my phone and allow the app to sync with my contacts. I know it's kinda silly but its a nice personalization to my T-Mobile.

    Was there ever an answer to this because I'm having the same issue and tried all the workarounds and nothing has worked

  • Phew. As frustrating as it is, I'm glad it's not just me. I was messing with that watch for like 2 hours last night trying to get the admin information changed. I'm also having this issue.

  • @HeavenM I spent an enormous amount of time with tech support and having them consult with their engineering team.  The best they could say was to try a warranty exchange on the watch, which cost $20 and took 2 trips to the store.  It didn’t fix the problem.

    Ugh! I hate when I get through the whole process of something and then it kicks back when I try to save!! I agree with @squiddy123. It sounds like a software bug, and it should be reported. You can reach out to one of our support teams and they should be able to file a ticket so the software people can take a deeper look at why that error is happening. Let us know how it goes. 

  • Running into this as well -- appears to be a software bug to me.
