Blaze Text Notifications

[MrsDMG]

My Fitbit Blaze (so stoked to finally have it!!!) notifications are on and the text message option is set to "message+" which is the app I use... the TXT notification comes through to the device but only by identifying the name of the sender and "1 new message"... I've pressed every and all the buttons and I'm unable to open the message fully and read the actual text, I've even tried test runs sending texts to myself and still no luck... HELP!

@Tarra - have you tried switching to "message" not "Message +"?  I am on IPhone, but remember seeing someone else mention this setting......

Maybe that will help you?

[Tarra]

I guess that will be my downfall then because I use message+ so that I can continue to text over wifi when im out of the country. I mean I could use whatsapp or what have you.  But I feel like if it's an available option then it should function properly.

Use fitbit app version 2.1 (the old one)and you will quit having this problem. Sucks you can't have the updated fitbit app but this was the only solution I could find.

So how do I change the application? I cant go back can I?

I have an Android LG2 and I receive complete text messages.  I swipe up on the clock and it shows the # or name of the person texting in green;  and below the little green message box is the content of the message.

I have yet to receive my Outlook messages.  Still working on that!  I LOVE the Fitbit Blaze.

And mine doesn't show that . Just the Green bubble with the name and message received. No content.Thanks

exactly how do I go back to fitbit app version 2.1 ? 

[pataye]

That is exactly what I had to do....Change my message+(verizons messaging) to message (Samsungs default messaging) ....I also prefer messages+ on my phone but wont work with the blaze, it doesent show what anyone text only who from, now that I changed to the samsung default messaging I now can see the actual text... 🙂

[Twedel]

Still cant read them. Only receive notification. Anyone found a fix yet?

I too am having that same issue with my new Fit Bit Blaze and my Samsung Galaxy S6. I have tried re-pairing both, I have tried different notifications within my cell phone, making sure my cell phone is up to date, but have had zero success. My fitbit Blaze will specifically show Phone #'s or names of those who call me, but only 'notifies' me if I have a message (no details about who the text is from or anything). 

[Twedel]

  Getting very frustrated that we cannot find a fix. Im not sure I will keep mine if it wont work to its potential.

I posted a fix previously. Basically it works with messages and not
messages+.

[racertempo]

When I get 2 or more texts in a row from one person it shows that "2 messages" from "XYZ person".  I cannot figure out if there is a way to read those individual messages, any ideas?

[Twedel]

I dont recieve anything at all on message.I have to be on message +. But never recieve notification when someone is texting me from an Apple phone??

[cmack33]

Thank you so much for the tip! I can now read text messages on my Blaze! I too would prefer to use Messages+. Any coordination with Verizon to correct this would be appreciated!

[wilmacerv]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I also cant see the contents of texts if I receive mor than 1

[cmack33]

Just switched to the Samsung messaging system and now everything works.

I had the same issue with the Message+. I changed my messaging program to the messaging app that came standard with my phone and now I am able to see the full messages. 

[aheller]

Thanks. I changed from Message+ to Messages and that solved my problem. I agree that Message+ is a nicer messaging app.

[CPayne1313]

Messages+ is way better. Hopefully they will fix this problem in the near
future.
