Droid Turbo 2 Support ETA??

[Bartonmd]

Any update on when the Turbo 2 is going to be live? We have the turbo 2, and literally, the ONLY reason that my wife bought the Blazes (one for her and for me), instead of the charge HR that she had (and the Vivofit that I had), is for the ability to control her music. To say that she is pissed because this $200 (x2) device doesn't work with a flag-ship, popular phone that's been out for 7 months is... a bit of an understatement. Before she returns these, I'd like to know if you're close and/or have and ETA for the Droid Turbo 2 having full functinoality with the Blaze? (Everything but the "classic" pairing, and therefore music control, currently works)

Thanks,

Mike

I've read on various tech sites that Bluetooth connectivity can be an issue with the droid 2, so it would seem it is not limited to the Blaze. Needs an update to the Droid (from Verizon?)

Apparently multiple connections can cause issues. A suggestion is to delete pairings and try again but I'm sure I'm only repeating what had been said before

[Bartonmd]

The Turbo 2 is different than the Droid 2 (which is an older slider keyboard phone). 

Been there, done that (like 10x, on 2 different Turbo 2's, with 2 different Blazes).

Honestly, I have not had any noticable (or unexplainable) issues on my Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo 2 (just to be clear what I am using)

[Bartonmd]

Are you using the "classic" bluetooth to control music skip and volume on your phone, or are you doing what I'm not having any problems with, which is just the stuff that the ap does (syncing, workout GPS tracks, text/call/calendar alerts, etc.)?

So this morning I tried deleting all my other blue tooth items and tried
connecting and this time I got the PIN to pop up on my phone and the blaze.
I confirmed on the blaze first and it changed from 'pairing' to 'on'. I
thought it was finally going to work! And then when I confirmed on my
phone, it kept trying to connect but it didn't. I got the message 'Blaze
classic not connected or not in range' even though the blaze was right next
to my phone. I give up, I may have to send the blaze back if an update
isn't released soon 😞

Sorry, I dont use the music functions on my Blaze, the notifications and syncing are all working as expected.  I will try and see if I can use them later today and report back... never had a need for the controls to this point

[Bartonmd]

Yeah, that's what I was saying. All the "normal" stuff works fine, but the music controls on the "classic" bluetooth is what I'm asking about an ETA for. I've since talked to their tech dept. and the answer is that they're working on it right now.

My notifications don't show up on the blaze either! I turned notifications
on in the fit bit app, but on the blaze itself, I see 'All caught up, no
notifications'

[Charmbutterfly]

Yes I have the droid turbo 2, am I doomed? Will it ever work with the
blaze? 😞

[Charmbutterfly]

I'm just trying to get the Bluetooth to recognize each other 'blaze classic
and droid turbo 2' and for the notifications to work. Everything else is
fine

[Charmbutterfly]

Do you think it will be a long time? Should I return the blaze? I mean the turbo 2 has been out since last year 😞

[Rich_Laue]

Had anyone tried setting it up with a different device, a computer or a friends phone?
Now that it is setup, the app will know which tracker to look for? No additional app should be needed, just log into the same account.

[gmm6797]

2 hours later, and the "Classic" will not setup to my Droid Turbo2, so I am guessing we are screwed and it wont show on the "supported list" any time soon

I always get the 'pin doesnt match' error... rebooted both devices, uninstalled/reinatslled fitbit app, and many different combinations of those
sigh

[Charmbutterfly]

Yup that's exactly what happens with mine! Are you getting any
notifications on your blaze at all?

[Bartonmd]

Rich,

Yeah, as I said, it all works flawlessly on my old Droid Maxx (which is on the "supported devices" list).

[Bartonmd]

Exactly, GMM. Same here.

I did have one time where the 6 digit number appeared for a moment, it did match, but I could not confirm it on the Blaze... which would then allow the device to lock in as available on the Turbo2 :'(

[Charmbutterfly]

Hopefully this will be fixed in the near future 😞

[gmm6797]

FWIW, I tried to link again, no such luck today

[Charmbutterfly]

Keep trying it! It took a few times before I got the PIN to pop up, and
once it did, I confirmed on the blaze first and then the droid turbo 2. I
left the Bluetooth classic in the on position and then I turned on Spotify
on the phone and I noticed the blaze music screen blinking. Even the
notifications started working! I also did a software update the day before.
So keep trying!
