I have restarted my Charge 5 and checked settings. Do not disturb is not on. I don't get my ten to eleven  AM movement reminder. Any help?

Hello @WUpdegrave & @janicekay63 

Every now & then, I won't get the reminder to move at 10 minutes to the hour. When this happens, I:

  • Tap on the device icon in the upper left of the Fitbit app
  • Tap on the Charge 5 tile
  • Turn off Reminders to move under Settings
  • Tap on the arrows in the upper right of the page to sync
  • Turn Reminders to move back on
  • Tap on the arrows in the upper right again to sync
  • Restart the Charge 5 from the Settings tile on the device or by using the charging cable that came with your Fitbit

Usually, this is enough to get the Charge 5 "unstuck" and Reminders to move to work again.

BTW, I noticed that I didn't get a reminder to move in the afternoon although it was working in the morning. I did the process that I described above. So far, the reminders to move are working today. Hopefully, you will have the same success.

Hello @Gumby51 

I don't have another suggestion to try. The process I described has worked for me so far. That said, I have noticed that it can take more than 1 attempt to get the Charge 5 "unstuck". It might be worth trying the process at least 1 more time.

I have tried several more times with no positive results.  Still do not get the hourly reminders for steps, the notification when I reach 10,000 steps, or the watch face when I move my wrist.  I have to tap the Fitbit like I did with my old Charge 3. Quite frustrating.

For the screen wake issue, try this:

From the main screen, swipe down to Screen Wake, it should be set to Auto.  If it says Manual, tap the screen to toggle the setting.

These reminders have never been consistent for me. I honestly think the Charge 5 doesn't have sufficient memory to keep this feature active at all times. Or maybe mine is just buggy?
