Connected GPS and Bluetooth Earphones

[Rjerikz]

Greetings Everyone! Just want to check if anyone already tried to use their Blaze via Connected GPS and also Used Bluetooth Earphones without any disconnection or issue?

Just want to be sure before I purchase wireless earphones that it will work.

Thanks 😊

Ps. I'm using Android Device Sam. S7

Thanks for stopping by @Rjerikz! If your Android device is managing multiple Bluetooth connections simultaneously, your Fitbit tracker might stop syncing or the notifications won't work at all. Also, you can experience interruptions if you're going to use Bluetooth Earphones; you can learn more about it by checking this article Is the Fitbit app for Android interfering with other Bluetooth devices?. 

Hope this helps.

I've used my Blaze with my Moto Surround and VerveRider+ wireless earbuds while using connected GPS without issue. It worked on both my LG V10 and my Motorola Z Force Droid phones - I'd go for a walk listening to music, and if I got a call, both the Blaze and my headphones would vibrate, and when the walk was done, no gaps in the GPS tracking. No disconnections that I noticed from either device. I'd imagine there's the potential to have issues, but I haven't had any so far.

I just got the Blaze (borrowing from Sister in law to see if I want to purchase one) and I went on a walk using GPS and listened to my Bluetooth headphones with no problems. Samsung Galaxy s7 edge...

Hey. Guys.  I am having trouble.  I THINK it's the Bluetooth headphones.  I am trying different things to make sure. O know the GPS is accurate when I'm not using headphones.  The Versa loses the signal (shows connecting) when I'm using the headphones.  The steps are accurate.  When the GPS reconnects it is way off in trying to calculate the distance (0.75miles in a 4 mile walk). I'm going to try again using regular headphones to make sure it's not any other phone apps causing the problem.  I'm also going to try again using tracking from the Fitbit app along with the watch to see what's going on.
