Not receiving notifications when away from phone

[Greene87]

New Fitbit blaze don't receive notifications from paired phone (iphone6) unless phone is in my pocket or next to me. My husband has a charge 2 and will receive notifications even if paired phone (iphone6s) is in another room.

Just found out from customer service that you will not get notifications on your fitbit blaze unless it is within 2 ft of iphone

There are several factors that can effect your Fitbit's range from receiving a signal via bluetooth.  Inside walls, types of materials around (in walls) and your phones bluetooth signal.

Sometimes I can receive notifications when I am upstairs, and phone is downstairs, other times I cannot get them from across a room.  Just depends.....

The Bluetooth specs say a maximum of 30 feet is the limit.  I would think it should respond like your husbands does.

As @Kmransom123 the dis5ance has a l9t to do with the environment.
