I have a LG V10, just purchased a Fitbit Blaze, one reason i bought it is for messages on my blaze so i don't have to pull my phone out. Um, to my surprise after spending about $200 cash, the message can not be read on the blaze, it only alerts me that i have a message. What's up? Angie

@Angiepjohnson69 we'll need more info to help, what message program are you using? Do you have it set to display pop-ups?
Do you get a pop-up while the phone is in the lock screen?
Under sounds and notifications it set to show all notifications while locked? Now click application notifications, find your messenger program, is notifications set to allow?
Most of these should have automatically set up correctly, but it's worth checking.

The other thing to do is scroll to the original post in this thread, you'll find a link to a very detail instruction on seeing this feature up.

Message Plus doesn't work.

[Angiepjohnson69]

All the answers are pretty much yes. I went over the info you sent. Mind you i don not have the most recent firmware update. The blaze will show a new message and the peeson who sent the text, just won't let me read the text. And i use message+. Angie

Its because even though Message+ is listed at one of the message apps you can use, its not fully compatable with the Blaze. I have the same problem as well as many others. I have a feeling they'll just end up removing Messages+ from the list rather than fixing the issue.

What other options for messaging works with the lg v10?

If its the same as the LG G4, which I have. Nothing. At least I can't find anything that works.

[Angiepjohnson69]

Ok, i switched to my phones messaging instead of (message+ which is verizon messaging). That works with the blaze. I hate to say this, i also bought the new garmin vivosmart hr, whatever goes through my phone works on that, face book, all messaging, etc.. I hope fitbit blaze will soon come up with fix so i can use what messaging app i like. Thank you so much for your time and input, you did help. Angie

[Rich_Laue]

You are not alone.

[Fosse66]

They shouldn't bother announcing an update unless it's immediately available for all.

I can't believe their servers are that busy.

[taz4352]

Still no update for me either.  Waiting, waiting, waiting ...

[Rich_Laue]

There servers are not that busy, as stated above, this update is being monitored and rolled out slowly. I believe this is in response to problems that have cocropped up in the past. My guess is that it will be rolling out in bigger batches as the process is confirmed to be working.

[Angiepjohnson69]

Lol, i concur!

Neither my HR or my new Blaze will sync since the newest fitbit update was put out. Says it cannot connect to fitbit.com. Now I have a blackberry but it's worked for the last year with my HR and now nothing

[Rich_Laue]

Since both the Blaze and the Charge HR won't sync this sounds like your you're referring to the fitbit app update. Have you received the updated firmware to the Blaze yet? This also should have no affect on the HR.

I'm moving your post out of this thread. What has been tried yet? Have you looked at any of the threads on the BlackBerry here, and in the Android Forum?

I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app and updating it. The current version is 17.8.101.7

That is the version of the Blaze firmware, not the app which is 2.22 I believe, your phone will report 2.2 under settings the app reports 2.22
