Bluetooth, distance for text notifications

[Heidi0426]

If you aren't in range to recieve text message notifications and/or call notifications will the text notification show up once you go back in the 20 foot range? Or will it only show up if you are in range at the time the message was sent?
Thanks
Ps I am interested in the Blaze

I don't think so, at least on Android it won't, since the message was already pushed to the phone,  I haven't seen any signs of Fitbit sorting the message until the tracker gets back in range. That is a good question maybe @DerrickS can help out here.

Is it really only a 20 foot range for the smartphone notifications? Is it more or less?

Do you know if it's really only a 20 foot range? Or is it a little more or less?

That is probably an average and dependent on the smartphone and environment.  If you are in an open room the range might be a bit more than 20 feet.  If the tracker is 20 feet away but in a closed adjoining room, the range might be somewhat less.  If there are other bluetooth signals in the room emanating from other devces, you might have to have the tracker closer to the smartphone or computer or turn off the other bluetooth devces.

39 feet is the maximum standard for BT, but I find my tracker sitting in my car has no problems syncing to the computer which is at the other end of the 55 foot mobile homr

I get the text notifications until i read message in phone. Example text from husband notification on Blaze. I clear all notifications. The I leave range of my phone and then get a Papa Johns Fri special notification plus resend the text from my husband (any unopened text messages) . I have received notications 30 feet away thru lead lined walls.
