In trying to resync the time on my blaze. I uninstalled from my android cell phone. I also reset the bluetooth to on.
I attempted to pair the device (My cell Phone). Nothing happened. Can't even find the pairing symbol
on my blaze. I am still installed on my windows PC. But it is not up to date.
I am about to throw the blaze into the trash can.
Went to settings, shut blaze down. waited 30 sedonds. turned blaze back on. Time still wrong.
Did this twice. No change.

@tomdg removing the Blaze from your phones Bluetooth does not require the Blaze too be re-setup. It also does not require the user to pair to your phone, in fact doing this will prevent the app from being able to sing the tracker.
It would be helpful to know what type of phone that is giving the trouble

Hi there guys, good to see you in the Forums! 🙂
@T426, I'm sorry to hear that you're still having problems getting your Blaze to show the correct time on it. Thanks for your efforts in trying to get this resolved.
Now, as @Rich_Laue said, it would be good to know what exactly you have tried already. I'd like to provide some suggestions in the case you've not tried them.
-Make sure you're using a compatible mobile device. To see the list of compatible devices, you can click here.
-Give your Blaze a restart.You can easily do this by pressing the left and lower right buttons for 10-12 seconds. This will make your tracker to reboot.
-Make sure you're on the latest version of the Fitbit app and the latest version on the OS of your compatible mobile device.
-If you're still having problems, you can try to remove your tracker from the Bluetooth devices. For this, go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone. On your connected devices, look for your tracker. Tap on it, then choose the option that says "Forget this device". Then, proceed to set up your tracker as a new device.
-For this, go to the Account section at the top right corner on the Fitbit app and select the option that says "Set up a new device". Follow the on-screen instructions and once you're done, your tracker should be syncing without a problem.
Hopefully this will get your phone to sync and that way, the time on your tracker will be updated.
@tomdg, thanks for all that you've already tried! You might want to follow any of the suggestion I offered above if you haven't tried some of them.
@Jaedyn04, I'm happy to hear that it's all working now for you! 😄
If you guys need anything else, I'm always around!

Best AnswerAfter over 36 hours of not syncing with the Galaxy S8 this week, and trying the usual
Updated Fitbit
Updated phone
Restart Bluetooth
Restart the phone and tracker
Removed the tracker from the phones Bluetooth
Powered both the phone and tracker down
Cleared the Fitbit Cache
Cleared all Cache on the phone
Killed the Fitbit App, swiping out of memory is not enough, it does not kill the background processes
Swiped unneeded apps out of memory
Confirmed at www.fitbit.com that the tracker still hasn't synced, it is mow 3pm and the last sync was at 2:38 am yesterday.
I completely removed the Fitbit app and installed a fresh copy.
Within 5 seconds of running Fitbit I had a successful sync.

Best AnswerRestarting did not work to fix wrong time which happens whenever the Blaze battery gets too low or when I change time zones. Also cannot sync.
What works is turning bluetooth off on the phone and disconnecting from bluetooth, then reconnecting.
Best AnswerI gave up on this product over a year ago. Too much work to get synced. Just a bad product. Kind of like the Edsel. I’m going to get the Apple Watch instead.
