Inspire 3 stopped syncing

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

My Inspire 3, which I've had about a month, stopped syncing with the app last night (10/21). I have done the usual steps, even went to the Google forums, no luck. It's almost like the bluetooth on the tracker stopped working.

I have an Android (v.13), Samsung A13. Help?

I've got the same issues. If someone could post the steps to roll back to a working version of the app (4.27), that would be great. 4.28.2 doesn't work on either of my Android devices.

I managed to install v27 from A...mirror and my tracker is now syncing again. I have switched off autoupdates. Don't know why fitbit can't provide a rollback to v27. Surely they have backups?

Did you have to uninstall the app first?  Did you lose your data?

Fitbit won't provide a rollback to v27 as it's only affecting a subset of mobile devices. I have downloaded v27 from a mirror site and now got mine working. Be cautious about doing this unless you are sure you know what you are doing.

Just contacted fitbit support regarding this. Was told they hope to have
it resolved by EOW. I'll wait a day and see if it is resolved. If not,
I'll be installing older version of the app and turning off auto updates 🙁

Thanks Irish6612. If it doesn’t work I'm going to try to get my money back. The standard of free step apps has much improved since I last looked.

I had to uninstall the latest app. You should only lose your data if you wipe the device like I did but only the data that has not synced.

May I ask what mobile devices are being affected? I have a Samsung Android OS 12 if that helps. I do not have an I phone. My app was updated this morning but I have not yet tried to sync my fitbit and re-setup my device. I did not look to see which version of Fitbit was installed but other posts here indicate that v28.2 still does not fix the problem. Thanks!

It appears to be any Android with the 4.28.2 update to the app. I have
Samsung Galaxy S21 OS 14.

                    I just downloaded and installed 4.28.3. Once it was installed, I opened the app. My steps (about half of them) for today updated almost immediately.  I pulled down from the "today" screen, and it seemed to take forever. I thought it was failing and walked away from my phone, busy with something else. I came back and tried again. It worked! I didn't have to uninstall and reinstall, or reboot, or anything.  I hope you all have the same happy result!

   When you get it, install 4.28.3. Mine works now.

Woo-hoo it worked.

Mine works too. But please Fitbit, you could have talked to us. Be inspiring!
