The update fixed my app, but it will only sync with my Versa when the Versa is charging. Yeah, I don't get it either, but that's the only way they'll talk to one another.

Since this is classified as an Android problem, perhaps related to having an unsupported phone, I'm wondering if I could get around it by using Windows 10 app, just for changing clock face and/or loading apps. I have Windows 10 on desktop, but without bluetooth. But USB bluetooth 4.0 adapters go for only about $10. I'm considering trying that for $10 rather than several hundred dollars for a new phone. My phone still syncs, but just crashes for clock faces and apps on Ionic/Versa.
Has anybody tried this as a work-around?

I too crazy when trying to change my clock face. Also my app doesn't always sync. App version 2.74.2 phone HTC. Android version 8.0.0
Hope you can fix this... I'm dissapointed that this happens.

I have a less than one week old Versa - updated to latest version of Op system after purchase.
Try to sync to samsung galaxy s7 - last updated was on 6/24/18 using Samsung Experience 9.0 upgrade with Android Oreo. Also updated PRL, etc this week.
I have uninstalled and re-installed the FitBit app 4x so far, in addition to restarting the Versa. I continue to have problems with bluetooth "finding" the Versa. I have turned bluetooth off and back on on both devices. I've made sure the bluetooth is turned off on my tablet and the television and my Bedside bluetooth speaker. It works for a day or two, then I have to start this process all over again!
Also, the FitBit app (?) has "lost" the wireless information several times, requiring a new set up and new password input.
Frustrated and ready to return to exchange for another Charge2 which gave be NONE of these problems. (It's just not as "pretty" as the Versa)

Hi, I got same issue with 2.74.2 on an android 6.0 : when trying to access clocks or apps, it comes back to previous screen.
It works ok on two others android 7.0 devices.
Note tht clocks/apps screen does not even display at all on android 4.3 (samsung galaxy s3) using fitbit 2.51 (not able to get higher one), which is still my main phone, and was working perfect with pebble app.

How do I change clock face to show date & day of week?

Hello everyone!
Some of what might be happening might because the phones are not on the supported devices list, or don't fulfill the minimum requirements, as such there is a possibility that issues like this might be happening. The minimum requirements being Android 4.4+ and Bluetooth 4.0.
If that is the case for you, please try to use a different device. Windows 10, iOS device or an Android phone that is on the list.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi, I downloaded the latest app last night for my new fitbit versa. I am having the same problem when I try to access the clock or app gallery. My OS is 5.0.1 on a lenova tablet.

With new Android app version, I was able to easily change clock face on Versa, which I could not do before.
When I first clicked on 'Clock Faces' tile, I got message "Oops. Looks like there's no internet connection." but that message went away in a few seconds and then continued with no problems..

@JohnnyRow Hi! Thanks for letting me know this last app version has helped with some of the difficulty you were experiencing with clock faces.
@Christiaan25 Hey! That's really interesting. Have you tried out our troubleshooting suggestions yet? Please give them a shot and let me know if this issue continues.
@Joy- Hello! Nice to hear from you here on the Community forums. Are you still experiencing any app crashes with version 2.75? If so, please let me know the steps to reproduce the crash so I can look into this some more. Thank you!

@AlessFitbit I've tried the troubleshooting issues. It still only syncs while it's charging and can't seem to find a Bluetooth connection while not charging. I'm going to chalk this up to an old phone and just rely on syncing it while charging.
