Whenever I attempt to log anything, food, or weight, the app crashes as the new page attempts to load in the app. Have already attempted uninstall, deletion of data and cache, and reinstall. No luck. Also, I no longer receive notifications on my Fitbit, and the only way I can change anything on my Fitbit is by going into the website settings, changing it through the website, then syncing it to through the Fitbit app. I am in the Android beta program, so I suspect it is an issue regarding that. I am currently running Android 8.0.0 on the Google pixel.

Hi. I have run into this problem as well with Android 8/Oreo. I have followed a lot of the suggestions (clearing cache, restarting android, restarting the fitbit blaze, turning on and off blue tooth, etc) and some of them work for a while and then it stops again. I followed the instructions to disable battery optimization of bluetooth in Android settings and I have been getting notifications for several days now. Usually it would have stopped working by now. I thought I'd share and I hope this helps others.

  1. Open device Settings and go to Battery.
  2. Tap the 3-dot menu present at the top right corner and select “Battery Optimization”.
  3. Turn off Battery Optimization for “Bluetooth MIDI service” and the apps that you use with Bluetooth such as Play Music, Phone etc.
