[Gneissgrl78]

My fitbit surge hasn't been syncing for the last 3 days. I get one of 2 messages. 1- device cannot be found, even through it full charges and on my wrist and the second- you device is scheduled to sync and will start shortly, but it never does.

For the Fitbit Android App version 2.28 (2182996), I want to suggest turning on Location Services (and also Bluetooth). Turning on Location Services helped me sync my Flex to my Android Fitbit App. I found this solution in the Google App store.

1) Can the moderators make a "sticky" post about the Android App needing Location Services turned on to sync please?

2) Can the moderators get someone to update the Fitbit help page for "I can't sync my tracker":

http://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1866/

under "Fitbit app for Android"

to reflect the information that Location Services need to be turned on? There is currently no information there that suggest that Location Services need to be turned on, and it is not an intuitive step to take. This is going to cause (or has caused) a lot of people grief.

Please...
