I want to see how many of us are in this community. They can't lie to us all about this in a single thread of people still having this same issue.

 

At this point it's ridiculous.

Charge 2 won't sync with Moto z2. Might have to shop for new device compatible with phone.

Thank you for starting this thread!

 

Everything was working great for my Flex 2 on my Pixel until the new interface. Now I can't select 'constantly sync' or it will run down my phone's battery because it can't detect my tracker that is right next to my phone and fully charged.... However when I open the app and try to manually sync it takes minimum 2-4 tries and each try takes much longer than before. It's really frustrating and I don't see the point of using a Fitbit product if they can't figure out this bug. Then when I try to contact tech support, I have to DM through Twitter? Really? That's outrageous. 

 

I should mention that I have tried resetting the tracker, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, unpaired a d re-paired my tracker, and I still encounter the same frustrations.

After all the feed back it appears to be trouble with the last upgrade and not our devices. There are to many reports about all different devices, phones, tablets and fitbit to be our problem. Mine has worked for two years up until last Sunday when it finally quit syncing. The last update caused me to methamphetamine a sync. I hope fitbit is monitoring theses posts.

My charge 2 stopped syncing as well. I tried everything and even removed it from my devices to attempt to add it back. Now it can't locate the device at all!!!

There are plenty of trackers on the market. In light of how Fitbit is responding to they're customers by not responding, they will leave me little choice.

I will take my business where it is appreciated, and where i will feel valued as a customer,

I will retract all my endorsements and reccomendations to any of my clients and followers of any product this company produces and sells, and will actively boycott Fitbit

I've had the same issues and done everything you have - still not syncing correctly. I'm going to try calling customer support. What really bites is that my insurance rewards me for my walking and now because of this syncing issue, I am losing some of my rewards.

My Fitbit hasn't been syncing but I assumed it was because I was on a new phone, I had no issue with my Fitbit syncing with my iPhone. In some ways I'm glad to see I'm not the only one but also annoyed that it's happening to a lot of people.
