BT Digital Phone stuck on Synchronising Handset Data X42-F81

2 of my handsets are stuck in a loop stating "Synchronising Handset Data", no amount of battery removal, pressing the red button or resetting the hub will stop them, I might as well throw them out.

Have you tried replacing the batteries with just ordinary alkaline just to test as long as not inserted on charger.  Even though existing batteries show charge they may be faulty and given incorrect reading. If phone work then just replace batteries with new rechargeable batteries

Hi @herrbohnen   Battery removal is no good, they need new rechargeable batteries. Common problem.

It's a pity they don't have a reset pin hole like other devices

Hi @Beckham37,

Welcome to the BT Community
 

Are you having the same issue with your handset stuck on synchronising? Have you tried a reset of the handset and a reset of the hub/router to see if that resolves the issue?
