Recently, my Blaze is not holding its charge. Yesterday (Tuesday), I awoke to a flat battery, so I charged it in the morning before leaving for work - it showed the battery to be at least 75% charged based on the number of bars. By journey to work includes a 20 min cycle that I set the fitbit to record, sync'ed to my phone for GPS etc. This worked fine, but shortly after arriving at work, the battery was flat again - it had barely lasted a few hours. When I got home, I put it on charge for the entire time I was at home until I went to bed. The battery was showing as full. However, I awoke again to a flat battery.
On closer inspection of my dashboard today, I have noticed that the heart rate has not been registered since Monday evening. The settings are set to Auto for HR. Both green lights currently flash intermittently, around a second apart. I've attempted to set to On, which results in both lights flashing rapidly.
I have reset the tracker (two button press) many times and have shut down the tracker also. Are the two issues related - the constant search for the heart rate is causing the battery to run down rapidly for example - or are they two separate issues that have just occurred at the same time? I pre ordered the Blaze in the UK, so have had it for sometime without any issues. Therefore I know the HR (and sleep recording) definitely works and that the battery life for my usage is measured in days not hours!
