I'm having the same issues! Frustrating!

I also want such control, however, I want to reduce the intensity of the all steps completed. It feels like burning.

Not sure if the same thing. Before the update I had many times that syncs were delayed or partial. The data eventually appeared. Syncs appear to work better with this update.

I have noticed it as well. But only a few times a day.

I did and it was already set.

If your Blaze loses your heart rate and can't read it during the night because it has shifted on your wrist, Sleep stages will not work. Sleep stages depends on your heart rate plus movement to determine Deep, Rem, and light sleep.

I had that issue until the most recent update to my Nexus 5X updated the Fitbit app.
Until then I got it working by syncing just before activating the walk feature.

This was my fasted update yet, 30 min. From what I have seen, it looks to me to be congestion issues, either at the server or in the network (my ISP had congestion).

Sorry I didn't read through the post before I decided to type this....
Ever since this update my Blaze stopped syncing properly. It synced maybe once since the initial sync and re-sync three times issue that immediately followed the update. It's really frustrating to be honest. And yes before the update my sync would sometimes delay BUT now it's not syncing AT ALL... HELP PLEASE

I haven't looked at breathing, but love the sleep levels.

Has anyone noticed the active minutes accumulate a lot easier since the update? I usually only get them if I'm walking for at least 10 minutes or exercising, playing sport etc. but today I got 11 minutes without doing anything particularly "active"

My Blaze stopped syncing a day and a half ago. Paired with phone, Bluetooth on. Any ideas?

Whilst everything on this update works, battery life is definitely considerably worse. Previously it was a good 5+ days on a charge. Now its 3 days. And I have restarted the blaze.
The sleep information is interesting, but the relax feature is close to useless.

Just did mine - took about 20 minutes or so. Hasn't died yet....... :-)

The app keeps telling me that there is an update available and when i try to click on the update, there is a forbidden 403 issue. does anyone experience this too?
03-30-2017 03:05

Ever since the update, when I wake up and sync with my phone, a short while later, my watch vibrates, and when I look down I see a green check mark.
I don't know what this is but I do not like it and want it turned off.

The update has been working fine for me...but today I tried to change the clock face to Ace and it continually resets. The face appears but there is not heart rate or step count showing. That space is blank. Then it starts resetting over and over again. Anyone else having this issue?
03-30-2017 09:47
03-30-2017 09:47
OK... I tried restarting the Blaze and reconnecting to my app. Now only the Circuit clock face works. All other faces are missing the step count, calories, etc stats and cause the tracker to constantly reset. Very unhappy with the quality of these rollouts.

I also received this error when I first tried to download the update. I tried it a few hours later on wifi (instead of cellular data) and it downloaded and installed perfectly fine. Not sure if wifi vs cell data had anything to do with it....or if the Fitbit server was just too busy when I first tried to download.
