@msmonaotr  very wise to update manually.

 

Fortunately the Android Fitbit App seems more reliable, so I tried it.

 

It doesn't seem to break anything on a Samsung phone and doesn't fix anything on a Sense.

 

Current ongoing Sense problems are:

  • Unreliable heart rate 
  • Inaccurate floor count (introduced from an earlier update of App  or dynamic change) as it was originally ok
  • Stress management score not remembering setup if you logout, so has to be setup each time you login (being escalated with support)
  • Vibrate very poor, gets worse with decreasing battery level
  •  Slow to update SpO2 result in health metrics

 

Fortunately the original Versa 1 didn't get any adverse reactions from any Fitbit App update, still the most reliable watch.

 

Haven't applied the most recent firmware update to the Versa 2 and that continues to work.

 

Lastly, any problems with the App are usually fixed with a clear cache and force stop of the App.

Thanks for the update. I always wait to install fitbit updates until I confirm there are no reported issues from users. I've been burned numerous times with updates that caused problems with the app, so I turned off auto update long ago.
