Android 6.0 Bluetooth/Location - Please fix

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.
With the Android 6.0 update (Samsung s6) I despise the fact that I would have to keep location turned on all the time to auto sync. I just won't, for battery and privacy reasons. I understand that this is a change that google made, not fitbit, but ita pain to have to turn on location and manually sync. It would have affected my purchasing decision had this been the case at the time.

I'm requesting that you look into fixing it in a software update, as Bluetooth sync is going to be the first thing I look for when I'm ready to upgrade, and a big problem I'm sharing with anyone who asks about my fitbit.

2. The skin irritation other reviewers complain about is a real problem. I don't have ultra sensitive skin...I don't use special skin products or dye/fragrance free detergents but it's an issue just the same. I clean it with cetaphil every time I shower like the instructions say, but that won't keep you from having skin irritation, it's just something fitbit came up with to have something to say to all the people having problems. I switch it to my dominant hand when my non dominant wrist gets too irritated but then you have to remember to change your settings, which I don't always do, or it messes up your data and defeats the purpose. I guess the best thing I can say is that it hasn't been so bad as to stop me from using it.

The location tracking thing is my major issue right now. As it's a Google thing, and is recent, I'm not sure how Jawbone, Garmin and other competitors are handling it but it's worth looking into if this bothers you as much as it does me.
