Golden Rule when solving issues on your Peloton
Users generally find that switching off their Peloton equipment, unplugging the power cord from any wiring connections and waiting for five minutes before reconnecting everything solves most difficulties that seem not solvable.
This basic procedure has been found to be effective in fixing issues with electronics.
What Happens When I Factory Reset a Peloton?
Factory resetting a Peloton bike or Bike+ will remove all user data and reset the device to its original factory settings, including any rides, settings, profiles and workouts recorded on the app.
Why should you reset your Peloton?
Many peloton users have experienced a range of technical issues with their Peloton bike, such as app freezes, buffering concerns and Bluetooth synchronization problems.
The “no command” error indicates an issue with the Android loader or tablet, while the bike not turning on may require a reset.
Solutions for these issues are available, such as clearing the cache and checking for updates in recovery mode.
Buffering Issues
Some of the most common problems with the Peloton bike are when the application freezes and won’t turn on. This is called the “death screen.” Getting hardware and software to work together isn’t always easy.
Users who have used the bike for more than a year have said that buffering problems make it hard to stream classes. This makes it impossible to stream videos.
The Peloton bike’s network component buffers video to avoid loading interruptions. Buffering is the process of sending the video ahead of time so that it can be watched continuously.
Bluetooth Synchronization Issues
Peloton users have often complained about problems with the headphone jack and interruptions to live classes.
Even with headphones plugged into the connector, the monitor can still be heard. Also, there have been some problems with the way some headphones sync up with Bluetooth.
Check your Internet speed and clear your cache to fix any Bluetooth connection or pairing problems.
No command error
This Peloton no command problem may indicate tablet or Android loading troubles. Users who have had this problem have gotten in touch with Peloton to get a replacement.
In particular, the problem is shown by an Android robot that says “Resting” and shows up when the computer starts up.
It’s probably caused by a failed update, so any Android-based device should check for updates in recovery mode as a safety measure.
Peloton won’t turn on issue
