Charge 5 stuck on Fitbit logo

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

I tried numerous  fixes for "charge 5 frozen screen" in the blog  (reboot) (sync) (change clock face) etc.  None have worked.  My charge 5 face is still frozen on the fitbit logo.  Right now I'm trying the "let the battery run out suggested fix".  If that doesn't work, then its bye bye fitbit.  This is the 3rd fitbit I've had that has just stopped working.

Hi there, @werq24. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the troubleshooting steps you've tried. I'm sorry to hear that your Charge 5 is still stuck on the Fitbit logo. I understand how you must be feeling, I will do my best to help you with this!

To better assist you, please confirm whether you've tried the below steps in the order listed:

  • Unpair your Fitbit device from your phone's Bluetooth and Fitbit app.
  • Unpair other Bluetooth devices that you may also have paired to your phone's Bluetooth settings.
  • Force quit the Fitbit app.
  • Turn off other Bluetooth connections when not in use. This can help to prevent connectivity issues or Bluetooth interference.
  • Shut off your phone and turn it on after 1-2 minutes.
  • Turn on the Bluetooth on your phone.
  • Plug it into the charging cable and open the Fitbit app.
  • Set up your Fitbit device.
  • If there is no connection, restart your Fitbit device.
  • Once your Fitbit device is paired and syncing, please proceed to set up your other Bluetooth devices to your phone again. 

With the steps above, what I want you to do is to pair your Charge 5 first to your phone's Bluetooth settings before any other Bluetooth device is connected to your phone.

Thanks for the suggestion,  Unfortunately it didn't work.  (And I've tried it numerous times).
