My notifications are still not working! I am very disappointed and frustrated with Fitbit and Samsung!! I want to know if someone is actually working on this problem of not getting notifications! I've emailed Samsung again and I am currently waiting to hear back from them. Like I've said I have tried literally everything short of factory resetting my phone which I refuse to do and they shouldn't be the solution! I think Fitbit should offer a solution. I never would have spent the money on a Blaze if I knew it wouldn't sync with my new phone even though Fitbit says its compatible! I would also like to email Fitbit personally and I am wondering if anyone has their email because when I go to their home page it wants me to have a twitter account before I can email them! I am so frustrated with Fitbit right now!

I had issues with my Note 8 and notifications too.

Here are the steps that fixed it for me.

0) Unpair the Fitbit from the Phone. No Linking. Nothing. Treat it as if you just got a new Blaze.

  1. In the Blaze, turn on Bluetooth Classic. (Make sure it stays on)
  2. In your S8/Note8 Bluetooth Settings (NOT FITBIT APP!), choose Blaze Bluetooth Classic then sync the Blaze with the s8/Note8's Bluetooth Setting.
  3. Enter the Pairing Number from Blaze to S8/Note8
  4. Open Fitbit App, Settings -> Setup Device.

Let me know if that works for you

I was told by Fitbit that it didn't support the Blaze for text, etc. notifications with the Samsung S8+, I returned the Blaze. I could pair it but all the options won't work.
