Fitbit Blaze receives multiple text notifications

[KenniR]

Hello everyone, I have a LG V10 and have just received the Fitbit Blaze.  I'm having trouble with the mulitiple text messages that is being sent to my phone.  Even if I delete the messages from my Blaze it will send the same message at least 3 to 4 extra times.  On my phone I am using Go Sms Pro as my default messaging app and have never had an issue with it before.  Is there anyone else that is currently having this issue....please help.

Welcome to my MotTurbo2 life 😞

I actually had the same problem. Only one alert, but Fitbit decided to remind multiple times, which drove me crazy. It actually only happened on few notifications, not all, and I couldn't figure out what was it.

I am using iPhone 6.

Me too and only seems to happen on calendar.

I have the same problem on my Blaze that I just got today because it's my birthday. Great birthday present but I get two notifications for every message I get. It's really annoying. I have a Nexus 6P using the Textra messaging app.

Same here. Textra on S5, getting every text twice

I am receiving 2 or more duplicates on my Fitbit Blaze too, am also using the Go Sms Pro messaging app as it is my favorite messages app. I hate the stock sms apps... anyway, it is a bit annoying, every text that comes through on my Blaze is duplicated. It has even sent me a notification twice that I have two new messages. I read every message, either on my Blaze or on the phone, depending if I have my phone in my hand or it is out of my reach. I wonder if Fitbit will let us know if it is a bug and that they are looking into it to get it fixed for the next fitbit update. I haven't had mine for long, only four days, but I love it. The first one I bought, the screen had a fault, so fitbit replaced it after having to explain to them several times that it wouldn't turn on and that I tried the troubleshoot and tried charging it and the last sync was thursday night at 7:34 pm. They sent me the replacement blaze face anyway, and now am just having this duplicate message issue. Hope they can fix it soon.

I am having the same issue with my new fitbit Blaze and my LG v10 using the Verizon message+ protocol. performed a reset, no improvement. called customer service and was walked through another reset and turning bluetooth services off and on, still no improvement. I am receiving my messages 3-6times on the fitbit. Customer service stated this is a known issue and was offered no other advice or anything, only that there may be an update released at some point, possibly.

Having the same trouble with my Verizon Note 4 using Message+. 2-3 duplicate txt everytime. Com'on FB! Get ur 'ish together...

For those getting duplicates onto their Blaze from Message+, you may want to check a setting.

FWIW-  In Message+ settings, there is actually a reminder setting that issue reminder notifications if the message hasn't been cleared on the phone / tablet. You can change it to zero  (off / no reminders).

I use GoSMS pro and have the same problem. I receive 3 to 4 notification for the same message. Aggravating but can deal with it.

I have repeat notifications on my Blaze from Business Calender on my Note 4.

Is there now a fix for this? Seems like it's been a problem for awhile now...

I am currently on hold - been on the phone with their help desk for 20 minutes basically just restarting everything possible and all for naught. I am still receiving multiples of every notification. 

[jgenther]

Has anyone found a solution for this issue? Is Fitbit working on a firmware update to resolve this? 

 I receive multiple notifications on my  Fitbit Blaze for any/all types of supported notifications. That includes calendar items, texts (I do see the complete message), reminder/tasks, driving mode, and others. I had been getting 2 copies of every text showing up on the Blaze, but today a few miniutes later I got an additional double shot of the same message.

Not sure why but when my fit bit busted and was replaced and I added it back in the fit bit app I now only get one notification as intended.

Install the free app called FIT NOTIFICATIONS and you get all kinds of notifications running smoothly 👍

[SunsetRunner]

I have the same exact phone and app I'm getting 4 for each txt..let me know if you find or have found a solution! thanks

Tried that app and I still get mutliple text messages 😞 Oh well. I just turned the text notifications off.

Seems like many samsung phones are having problem with sms notifications. Have you tried to use Google messenger or Hangouts as your sms viewer?

[fitkam]

I see this is an older thread but I'm still having the same problem reported by many here. This is a relatively new bug, wasn't happening the first few months I had my Blaze. Using Verizon Samsung Note 4 and Verizon Message + as default text app. Fitbit please respond!
