FIXED - Samsung Galaxy S8 notification/bluetooth problem FIXED!

[Dovoro]

After trawling hundreds of forums amd help chats for a solution to my Fitbit Blaze /Samsung Galaxy S8 bluetooth notifications with no luck, I finally tried the following and it WORKED! (28th December 2017).

All calls, messages, calendar notifications now come through. I made sure all notifications were switched to on in the Fitbit app beforehand.

--------------------------------

1. On your S8, go to Settings > Software Update > Download updates manually

2. Download all Android updates and install.

3. Phone will reset and update all apps on a green screen- takes 5 mins or so

4. Problem solved - send a test notification from the Fitbit app and it should work. 

--------------------------------

All calls, messages, calendar notifications now come through. I made sure all notifications were switched to on in the Fitbit app beforehand.

*N.B. this was my second Fitbit Blaze as the first didn't charge when plugged in

Good luck!

Hello there,

I followed your instructions, however my phone tells me I already have the latest updates...

This is a screen shot of what I get when I select "download updates manually"

Let me know if this is the same version as yours.

My current updates are:

G950FXXU1AQK7/G950FEVR1AQJ1/G950FXXU1AQK7

It only worked for me after doing this, if you have the same updates it may be something else?

[JR74]

Hey there,

Thanks for the reply! It seems we have different updates.

I guess I will either have to wait for it to become available to me or find a way to download it.

Cheers!

My Blaze was fixed in the same time frame as yours, but stopped working a week later.  Is yours still working?

[Dovoro]

Yes mine still works fine. Sorry I can't be more help and hope yours sorts itself out.
