Notifications are not coming through my Charge 5

[wcarver]

On my old Fitbit my fitbit would show text messages and vibrate when I was getting a call. Since I got my new Charge 5 (over 6 months ago) it does not give me any notifications. I have tried looking online for how to set that up but no luck so far. I haver a Google phone. Thanks!

Hi there, @wcarver. Welcome to the forums. Thanks for trying to troubleshoot the issue with your Charge 5 before reaching out. 

In addition to the steps you've done, please try the following in the order listed:

• Unpair your Charge 5 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 Charge 5.
• If there is no connection, restart your Charge 5.
• Set up notifications again. 
• Once your Charge 5 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.
