I only had one Challenge crash, and after it was over it eventually
disappeared. Otherwise, I don't know how to fix it. I had this problem on
the Pacer App and my hubby deleted the App, but not my acct. Then he
reloaded it, and I got everything back...including the data from the 2 days
or so I couldn't get on it at all. So that might be a good try for Fitbit
as well. Good luck!

My husband bought me a Fitbit Versa at Macy’s and neither of us are sure how long ago that was.  Right now, even after cleaning the batter contact points and putting it back on the charger it remains “dead”.  I can’t get anything up on the screen.

 

Prior to this it was stuck on an exercise and would not let me log off or more back to the main screen it was like it was frozen.

I can get all the data except from the exercise tile - it tries and then says it 'keeps stopping'. I have cleared the cache and turned off bluetooth and re-started my phone several times.  Still the same is happening. If i clear the data will i lose everything? Any other suggestions welcome.

Ditto! I was looking for a solution for iPhone users, but there does not appear to be one. Good luck!

I do not have an apps setting under settings.  I can only access the app itself but there isnt anything about storage.

Go to settings, then to storage and then scroll down the aps til you come to Fitbit. Unfortunately following the instructions and also uninstalling, then reinstalling Fitbit hasn't stopped my Versa 2 from being an ordinately pedometer instread of tracking my  heart rate. active minutes and sleep.

This fix doesn't work because my device is completely dead. It started happening on Friday (4/24) and then yesterday it just completely died. I tried the other suggestions on other boards to reset my device, but to no avail. So now my phone doesn't even recognize the device.

Someone gave me advise on this issue. If you hold the left button and bottom right button at the send time on the Versa for a few seconds, the Fitbit logo should appear and then it should charge.

yep I have tried that already and I did find the storage but am afraid to
delete as I do not want it to stop recording the info for sleep and
activity. very frustrating and apparently they only take support through
twitter of which I am not very familiar.......May have to call them later

I’ve tried your suggestion but my Alta won’t work. Only while it’s on the charger. Another suggestion?

Does clearing the data also clear all your Fitbit data ? Food logs/exercise/weight etc ?
