Sudden sleep tracking issues and battery draining

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

 Bought my Blaze in March/2016 and it has been mostly great.  Lately, within the past few weeks (shortly after updating to the new firmware) it stopped giving me details on sleep tracking, every night.  It had been accurate before this.  What's more, the battery has gone from being able to last for five days (or more) when brand new, to 2-3, and within the last week, less than a day before it's warning of very low power.   I typically use it for cardio ~1 hour a day, notifications (calls/texts, not excessive), normal brightness, not syncing all day (usually 1-2 times a day, manually), movement reminders for 9 hours a day...basically, not excessive power consumption, and nothing new in terms of changes to settings.  I have reset, turned off, and still it dies (today I began the day at 3/4 charge and it died within 6 hours).  I don't feel like I should turn off multiple settings (no call/text alerts, lower screen brightness, etc) when it is advertised to do all these things as the main functions of the device.  Any advice?  Or has the new firmware made my Blaze a 10-hour a day product that does not live up to what it promises?  FYI: once I was able to charge the fully dead Blaze for multiple hours and both the Blaze and app said it was fully charged, it has been about 2 hours and the Blaze battery looks to be 3/4 already.  I have my doubts itll last very long tomorrow.  WHAT GIVES?!

UPDATE: Charged my fully dead Blaze starting at about 4pm. Was fully charged about 6pm and I put it back on. Blaze was running low and down to red, almost completely dead by 9:15.

UPDATE 2: 

 

fully chaeged in about 1.75 hours. Disconnected from my iPhone 7, reconnected, reset the blaze. So, will see if it lasts the night. I do not have a good feeling I’ll be reporting good news in the morning.

UPDATE 3: 

i woke up but my Blaze did not. It was completely shut down at some point in the night. Turned it back on, battery was in the red. It’s now plugged in to charge but jumped to half charged. 

 

I have a feeling I’m not getting help from Fitbit with this. And that my Blaze may truely be gone.

Charged it multiple times for multiple hours each time today. Lasting approximately 2-3 hours max. I have a race tomorrow so going to charge it over night and hope for the best. 

 

Then probably go shopping for a non-Fitbit replacement. Any suggestions?
