Prevent Automatic Syncing???

[mikkimouth2408]

I would like to be able to have my bluetooth on (so that the caller ID on my Charge HR works) but I do not want my tracker to automatically sync. Is there any way to prevent it from automatically syncing with the bluetooth on??

Hi @mikkimouth2408

To disable background sync:

Tap the tile which displays the tracker in the Fitbit App (phone), it may be required to do this once more. On the devices settings page it's possible to turn of the background sync.

Welcome to the Community @mikkimouth2408! If you are using the Android app, you can prevent your tracker to sync automatically by tapping on your tracker picture in the main dashboard, tap it again, and deactivate the "All-Day Sync" option. Once you have done that your tracker will stop syncing unless you open the Fitbit app or force the process.

I hope this clarifies your doubt. Let me know if you have any other question.

Guess you just need to know all the freaking back doors. Why can't the put it in the settings menu like a normal app. Fitbit sucks

My "all-day" sync feature is turned off but my Charge is still (somehow) syncing all the time. My dongle is at my house (and doesn't even work at this point) so I'm not sure what's going on.

Me too, I'm sick of my fitbit syncing when everything is turned off and I dont go into the app. urgggggggggg

And yet mine is all turned on for auto syncing and I manage to get it to sync every 3  days at best and I can’t even sync it to my iPhone manually.

My all day sync is turned off and my fitbit still auto syncs when app not open.

the only way I can prevent this from happening so far is to turn off bluetooth, which is not logical or acceptable.
All I can say is, my next device will not be coming from FitBit.
