Connection difficulties with Charge 2

[FCurran]

Had this problem last week and it has happened again. I deleted app and downloaded it again, which resolved the problem.Do I have to do this again? What's going on?

Hi @FCurran who knows what going on. I'm assuming your saying the tracker will not sync, oppose to not getting a gps connection or no notifications.

Could be hardware, software, do you also sync through another device?

Have you read the sync tips? Android tips?

Have you also tried a shutdown of the phone?

Clearing the Fitbit Cache?

Stopped the Fitbit app, not just swipe out of memory?

Once I had to clear the Fitbit app's data.
