Syncing activity "infinite loop" when ending rides without Wi-Fi

Hey everyone, I’ve been using the Karoo 3 for a while now and I’m hitting a recurring frustration regarding activity syncing that I’m hoping someone can clarify.

Whenever I finish a ride in a location without a known Wi-Fi network, the device gets stuck with a "Syncing Activity" notification that seems to loop forever. Even though my iPhone is paired via Bluetooth and the Companion App is active, the ride simply won't upload to Strava, Intervals, or the Hammerhead Dashboard. The only way to trigger the sync is to manually turn on my phone's Personal Hotspot and connect the Karoo to it via Wi-Fi, or wait until I get home.

Does anyone know if there's a setting I'm missing to enable syncing through the companion app, or is the manual hotspot trick really the only way to get it done on the road?

Thanks for the help!
