No phone symbol to answer calls on Android

[NathanGH20]

Although my Blaze notifies me of a phone call correctly, there is no green or red button on the screen to abswer/reject the calls. There are some circles emitting out of the bottom right hand corner though. How can I answer calls with a button on my blaze please?

Im not saying it is a big deal, but posting your desires in the hardware community of Fitbit users is like preaching to the choir. Have you added your vote and comments to the feature request pointed to above? This is where the Fitbit developers monitor to see what features the users would like.

There are move rememinders

This Is Not Solved  - as many Android users have stated. I just received my watch and same issue. My wonder, is if I root my basic LG android phone, will that fix it?

[Rich_Laue]

@nnnwww what is your definition of being soled?

The OP asked a question,  recieved an answer that explains why the dont have this feature. Question is solved

Looks like I will be changing from android to an iphone, one of the reasons I got the fit bit blaze was so that I could answer my phone as I usually have it on silent and never hear it. It would have been could if FIT BIT puts that in the specs.

[Rich_Laue]

Your Blaze should vibrate when a call comes into your android phone, if it doesn't please restart the phone.

So we pay a reasonable amount for a fit bit which advertises itself for allowing phone calls to come up on the pebble.... To not be able to answer the call? Sort it out fitbit. 

[brooksrds]

I totally agree with you! We spend all thus money on the Blaze and get lied to about its capabilities. 

[Rich_Laue]

Lets go to www.fitbit.com/compare

Where does it say you can answer calls worth an android device? 

[MatthewFitbit]

As @Rich_Laue mentioned, this feature has never been advertised for Android devices.

[Hypa_kitty]

Nor does it specifically say on the packaging it' allows the answering of calls for IoS either. If fitbit don't think not allowing so won't factor in on customer decisions, it should offer more transparency. 

[Rakeshkumar]

Why the hell this is not mentioned in the specifications? This device is absolute disater.  

[Rich_Laue]

I noticed in the specifications there is no mention of the ability to answer phone calls.

Considering i have 3 different phone apps on my android device, im not sure why this feature could not be added.

My guess it is tge way android handles notifications. But i am able to answer a call by tapping a button on the Bluetooth headset, the same button i use to control music.

In  what way where you lied to @brooksrds, can you post a screen shot?  There is nothing in the specifications that say this function even exists.

Someone posted a screenshot on this very thread that they got an email from the folks at Fitbit stating that answer or reject calls was available for both iOS and Android. It was a feature that I was looking forward to as well. 

Someone else pointed out that the manual says the opposite. 

[Zvl13]

I just realize this option for android is not available... i just got the new s9+.. switched from an iphone 7... this option should be available to android as well!! 😒😑... was considering to get one of the newest devices for fitbit but nevermind 😕

[Jrdubyakc]

@Zvl13 If you were considering the Versa, Androids gets quick reply to texts and iPhone doesn’t.  I am way more jealous of that feature 🙂 

[luvpoodles]

I was not told that at the time of purchased. If people are aware of this they will be buying apple watches....

[luvpoodles]

You got that right......

[sheenajd]

I am having the same issue.  I can reject the call with the red button but when I answer by hitting the green button it continues to vibrate and the green circles at the bottom..it is vibrating even when I answer my phone.  Tried pushing the bottom right button as suggested nothing...help this is since IOS 13 updated
