Blaze wont pair with galaxy s8

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Hello there,

Blaze was working perfectly with my iPhone but when I switched to Galaxy s8+. It wont paid.

I have tried everything unpair, delete, replace, everything on this forum and still no luck. It's very frustrating and I hate it and starting to hate Fitbit. Does this means I have to get a new Fitbit device?

Please help!!

Awesome troubleshooting

 

Feel free restarting the blaze & the phone if not already done.

 

Optionally check out the fitbit article:

 

Why can't I set up my Fitbit device?

 

 Hope it helps

I have tried it, no luck

Is the iPhone still around and turned on? This could stop the tracker from syncing. 

 

You say you inspired from the phones Bluetooth. 

You have cleared the apps cache. 

Restarted the phone and tracker. 

Removing the tracker from your account requires the tracker to be setup as a new device, it also almost always adds problems

When having a computer with bluetooth, and the tracker connected to bluetooth on the computer, can also prevent sync'ing with the phone. Cat Embarassed

These steps I just went through with a Web Chat rep solved my Galaxy S8+ pairing issue after changing phones and music controls weren't working and I unpaired to fix but couldn't re-pair. I don't know if all steps were needed, but my own similar attempts were either not thorough enough or in a different sequence, but this worked for me.  (Names were changed to protect the innocent.) 

 

Fitbit Help: Are you ready to try the steps I'd like to attempt now?
Me: yes
Fitbit Help: Good.
Fitbit Help: Please log out from the Fitbit app on your Android device by clicking on Account and the Log Out option.
Me: done
Fitbit Help: Thank you.

Me: Location is turned on in my phone's app settings for Fitbit
Me: camera, contacts, phone, sms, storage are turned off
Fitbit Help: Go to your phone's Bluetooth settings and unpair any Bluetooth devices which might be appearing there.
Fitbit Help: Then, please turn Off Bluetooth.
Me: ok blaze classic is unpaired and bluetooth is off
Fitbit Help: Get Bluetooth back On.
Me: its back on
Fitbit Help: Next, go to the regular Bluetooth (not the classic one) on your phone and check for any Bluetooth devices appearing as paired or connected there.
Fitbit Help: If anyone appears, please unpair it for troubleshooting purposes.
