I know it's Google's problem, I'm just posting this as an update for those googling to see if the new preview build works with Fitbit.

I tried syncing on my tablet with the preview build 3 and my Fitbit still wouldn't sync, just as in other preview builds. If anyone else got it to sync, tell me your secrets lol.

Just a heads up.

A warm welcome to our new friend @Gakio! Thanks for stopping by! Man HappyHave you tried following the steps provided in this thread? Also, please know that if you recently upgraded to OS 6.0 (Marshmallow) you must have location services turned on to sync your tracker. With this latest update, Google changed the permissions for Bluetooth syncing, requiring the use of location services. For more information about the latest Google permission requirements, see Google’s Android 6.0 Changes document here

 

Hope this helps, let me know how it goes! Smiley Happy

Hmm, I took the plunge and installed Android N preview 3 on my phone as well and my FitBit was syncing! Perhaps it is fixed on some devices.
