The GPS on the run feature of my Fitbit Blaze is not working. It works in the Walk and Hike options and will show "connecting to phone", but not on the Run feature .  It will show the "spinning" wheel but once you hit start it says "let's go" instead of "connecting to phone".

did you make sure the location services is on "always on" when using the run mode?  I had the same issue, but realized that location services wasn't on always on.

Yes, the location is on.  It works in the Walk and Hike feature.  I can start the "Run" and  I see it on my Blaze as I run.  When I finish the stats are on the screen of my Blaze.  As soon as I hit done and it syncs to my phone, it shows the run but doesnt log the calories or pace on my app.  Just gives how long the run was. I I noticed just recently, that on the website it actually shows my calories but still doesnt give me my pace/laps.

Ok, I was just messing with my Blaze and hit the "Run" feature.  It just gave me the option (which it didnt do in the past) to turn use the phone's GPS on.  Not sure how it was turned off before but I turned it back on and it says connecting to phone. Thank you for your help.
