I have tried several times to update my Fitbit with this new firmware release but have not been successful. I have tried restarting both my Blaze and my phone, turning my bluetooth off and on, and checked my internet connection but nothing has worked. I look forward to the updates. Any suggestions?

Why can't I change my starting weight and starting date to 1/1/2017. It keeps reverting back to today's date. I have my weights logged since 1/1/2017. I can starting date OR starting weight on my phone, but not both. When I change my starting weight in the app on my laptop, it won't even allow me to click on the starting weight option. Please help.....

My Fitbit Blaze has been syncing for some time after this firmware update. It's just spinning and spinning that circle. Some of the data is updating, but it won't stop.

I'm a newbie but did you check your settings on your Blaze to see if the Heart Rate button might be OFF? Some have reported that they were turned off after they received the upgrade, Just a thought???

I did check it. My Fitbit is all set. It's the app that's not syncing for some reason. Thanks though.
Just verified the sync won't stop on my PC app either. I removed the device on my phone and I can't reconnect it now. It just spins wheels when I put the 4 digit code in.

This is a really awesome update. The only remaining thing that I would like is more control over the alarm and "reminder to move" vibration length and intensity. I'm a really deep sleeper and half of the time I don't notice the current short/quick vibrations. The "reminder to move" I also don't notice half the time.
If I could make these two things vibrate for longer and more intensely then they would be a reliable feature for me. I'm sure other people agree with me about this.

You might try closing the app on your phone. I was having trouble. Like you I restated everything but still had issues. I finally closed out the app. You know how it runs in the background. I closed it so it was not running in the background then reopen it and my problem was solve. It wouldn't hurt to try.

can we see pictures of the new clock faces?

Mine's been updating for about 15+ mins now and still going.
I'm going to have to start my exercise and hope it captures it as it's not one I can accurately add retrospectively.

Just updated 2 x Blazes in Australia... About 8 minutes each, and,so far the only change, I had to turn off all day sync, that was reversed. Cardio score is there, and no change to the sleep graphs. Next release for that. More clock faces.

Just wanna say I love the new sleep features. I used wear a jawbone to bed, because it had superior sleep tracking. But I must say outstanding job with the up date. 👍

Moment is still the best clock face.
I just wish they had moment with the outside temp. That would be perfect.

I started my update yesterday and my Blaze has been frozen on the blue diamond for about 12 - 15 hours. I have tried restarting it. Noting. When I try to do the update again is says Firmware cannot be updated, too busy, try again. I am getting very annoyed. Any suggestions would be great.

Hi, I updated my Blaze last week and I don't know if it is a fluke or not, but twice now I have synced my blaze first thing in the morning and it has given me the number of steps I have done so far and 1400 calories, how can it give me 1400 calories after doing 110 steps, as it did this morning. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem. Like I say it didn't do this prior to the update.
Regards

Mine finally updated after about 30mins but no real benefits for me. The clock faces we know are the same, I don't use sleep data and the 2 min relax/breathing session is just odd - made me breathe uncomfortably fast.
Incidentally, I don't use sleep data as I don't trust it having noticed mine says I'm asleep when watching a film or reading or when I know I was awake at a specific time such as listening to 10 o'clock news etc.
Not to worry, horses for courses! Steps/cal burn are my main tools so that's fine
