Does anybody know when or if the Note 5 will be a compatible device with the Blaze?

I've been using my Note 5 with the Blaze since early March. No issues so far.

Mine has been working so far too. I should specify a little more I was
wondering about the answer and reject feature.

I upgraded from Charge HR to Blaze and just learned the Samsung Note 5 is not compatable with Blaze for all the functions of the notifications. The Blaze has been out for 4 months now and the Note 5 has been out even longer than that. When will this be fixed? Im very disappointed considering the cost of the Blaze and it not functioning correctly.

@sshield8 I've moved your post to the discussion about the Note 5, please review above.

When a phone is not on the compatable list, it means that Fitbit has not thoroughly tested it yet. This however doesn't mean it will not work.  Witth Fitbit supporting more phones, and the basic hardware not changing much between models, people are finding that most phones from the major manufacturers do work.

In the Note 5 it seems that all features are are working.

If your having problems, let us know, we can help in troubleshooting them.

Welcome to the Community @Bozo303, @Mahale, @sshield8 it's great to see you around. @AZPete and @Rich_Laue thanks for stopping by and for the information.  Great news, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is now listed in our compatible mobile devices list, which means that your tracker can now connect to your phone without an inconvenience. 

About the phone calls, the Android Fitbit app doesn't have this feature, but I recommend checking the Answer/Reject calls on Blaze, vote for it and leave your comment. 

If you need anything else, let me know.

I am unable to answer or reject calls. Text only says i got a new text message no sender or messages. I also installed the fitbit notification and got nothing to fit bit blaze. Please help , about to return it tom.

Allow me to help you @Debzfyah! It's not possible to answer or reject calls from your Fitbit Blaze. You'll get just the notifications but in order to reply to them, you should use your phone. 

Please check the screenshot below to know how your Blaze should look like when you get a notification. 

Additionally, make sure that you're doing set up procedure to get the notifications in your Blaze. Here are a few steps you may want to try if you're still not getting notifications. 

Hope this helps.

@Debzfyah we have noticed that the default android messenger app is flaky when it comes to pushing notifacations.. The should be appearing on the Blaze the same way they appear on the lock screen of the phone. 

As for the Fitbit notifations app, this isn't needed anymore, in that the app can now receive them directly from every app on your phone.
