Firmware 210.26 What's new?

I just updated my watch to 210.26 and was wondering if there's a list of changes for it. I haven't noticed anything obviously different yet.

I tried to find out what's new BEFORE updating...without success.

This is the official google changelog page:

https://support.google.com/fitbit/answer/14236725 

As today it only lists the older firmware version, not the recent one...but the update is already beeing rolled out.

Fitbit Android App only notices about available update, but not which version is offered nor what changes are made.

This is yet another sad example showing the real quality of this product and how fitbit and google see and treat their customers. Sorry for my drastic and frustrating words, but exactly these small imperfections in basic features are leading to an overall unsatisfaction with the product(s).

@Moderator: Thank you for your suggestion to post this into the feature wishlist section in advance...but I will leave this things to you as it is not my job. At least it proofed to be wasted time anyway.

@All: Sorry for offtopic.

I have just updated, not sure what has changed, Sleep score and Readyness score not shown on the device, but that might change in the morning after a night's sleep.

I restarted after the update and yes, these returned the next day for me.

Mine updated yesterday. Sleep score did not showing in the watch this morning. I have never had the readiness score but I think you have to use google play pay for that which I would not. The sleep score typically does not show in my watch, I wondered if the update would fix this, it did not. I noticed my fitbit twice thought I was rowing today with the auto detect. I turned the rowing auto detect off

It's been a few days now and my watch is pretty much the same as before, and running well. No obvious changes, so I would have to imagine that it was mainly under the hood stuff.

Fitbit has always been vague on the updates, and it seems to have continued with Google.

The only time we get real info is when the update addresses a continual known problem. 

Best Answer

This one seems to very much be in the style of "General performance and security". I've not seen anything outside of that yet.

This firmware messed up my charge 6.  Now the screen doesn't work but it still tracks

Same thing just happened to me. Called support and was offered a 35% off coupon, since warranty expired a couple of months ago. Charge 5 did the same, so I guess it wasn’t a coincidence. It’s time to try a different brand and see my luck.
