It should be under the device. But mine isn't working either!

@Rich_LaueThank you for the suggestion good friend!
@Bradin9855Yay! Great to hear that the update resolved the issue you were experiencing! Thanks for taking a moment out of your day to provide me with an update.
@Bradin9855@mak143For the notifications issue, have you tried the following procedure to set it up? May need to be done since you've recently updated app versions.

Not only did I follow it but it keeps prompting mine to do it again. So I've done it a dozen times! Just know that it worked until the last update.

Can someone tell me what's the difference between contacts and key ring? What is key ring anyway? I don't get any text notifications and don't even see where is the option.

@Bradin9855Key Ring is the name of an Android application on your phone. I suggest selecting the "Contacts" application as that is the default application for sending and receiving phone calls.

KeyRing is an app that will store all of your store shopping discount cards. I believe that they recently added the ability to store prepaid gift cards. You will find it lasted on type app drawer.

@Bradin9855You're welcome!
@Rich_LaueInteresting that an app for shopping discount cards appears under the phone apps to receive call notifications. The engineers for the app must have added a flag for it which thinks it can receive calls.

I should have asked the question differently. I know what key ring app is. Just why it was there seems odd as Rich noted.

Well my notifications still don't work! After rebooting everything it worked ONCE then stopped again! 😞

Hello. last the last app update earlier this month I have been unable to sync at all on the fitbit app, just keep getting an exclamation mark on the sync status so not getting any calls/text notifications.
It also shows that I have no Fitbit friends now.
The only thing which does work is Bluetooth Classic for music Control.
I have, these last couple of weeks tried all suggestions recommended - bluetooth restarted, tracker restarted, phone restarted, uninstalled Fitbit app and reinstalled again.
In November I changed phones from Nokia Lumia 925 and moved to Android specifically for Calls and Text notification. However with not being to sync at all, I can't but help feel like I have gone backwards and feel rather disheartened by it. Kinda wished I had stuck with the Windows Phone and bought a microsoft band instead.
Do you have any other suggestions please? Is there a way I can go back to the previous Fitbit app version?
Regards, Hema

@Elyse1 where you able to get notifacations to work? As for the Charge listing as a Force, if it is not corrected yet, please contact support. The Force does not support notifacations.

@Elyse1I took the liberty of looking into your support case with us and was happy to see that your Charge was reclassified to show as a Charge instead of a Force by our Support Team. I recommend logging into your Fitbit.com online Dashboard to confirm if that is how you see it showing now.
Also, I recommend attempting to set up your call notifications per this process, as the reclassification may help to help get you set up.
@Bradin9855Awesome news!
@hbathAs you've already tried the suggested troubleshooting procedures, I recommend contacting our Customer Support Team and letting them know about your troubleshooting efforts. They will be able to provide you with a one-on-one, personalized troubleshooting experience after reviewing your tracker history with their back-end tools. See ya around!
