Notifications and foot range

[Lorielynn]

Will I get notifications once i'm within the 20 foot range of my phone? Or will those notifications never come through?

I am unable to receive notifications on my fitbit blaze even though i have a compatible android phone. Following Help Topics i still cant get it working ( press top right button for few seconds till NOTIFICATIONS comes on blah blah)

Hi Jeff, I actually have a phone that is considered to be  not compatable and it syncs just fine. I'm recieving my calls, text ext as long as i'm within 20 feet or so of my phone. What i'm wondering is if i'm not within 20 feet, will I get the notification on my blaze once i'm near my phone again.

To help you with your comment.

Go to your fitbit app

Devices

click on Blaze

go down to General and click notifications

from there you need to click each notification you want your phone to recieve

Hope this helps you!

No. Once the notifiation has gone off on your phone, that's it. You won't be notified again. (Nothing I've seen in practice or read in the blurb suggests that the app will buffer any data for later transmission to the tracker.)

@Jeff48 another thing to check, depending on the OS. Go to your phones sound setting, scroll down to show notify cat on on lock screen, and enable it.

My phone is compatible but i am still unable to receive notifications. I do believe my device is FAULTY as i am only able to scroll the menu up and down and not left to right. This is so fustrating. Going to seek for a replacement from the company that sold me this device.
