I recently purchased an Ionic. Was super excited, just to find out that it's not compatible. Is there anything that can be done with the 8.1 Android Oreo Operating system? There are phones that are more out of date that the firmware downloads.. Please help.

Hello @Enkore85, it's good to see you around in the forums for the first time.
I'm sorry to see that you've experienced trouble to sync your new Ionic. Fitbit is compatible with more than 200 of the most popular Android, iOS and Windows mobile devices. The full list of compatible devices with confirmed compatibility can be found here.
If a device isn’t listed it doesn’t mean it won’t work with a Fitbit tracker or smartwatch. We routinely test new devices to ensure full compatibility with Fitbit devices and the Fitbit App, and are constantly working to confirm compatibility with new phone models. A majority of Android phones running version 4.4 or higher will work with our products, however we cannot guarantee optimal performance on devices for which we have not tested and confirmed compatibility.
However, some users have been able to sync after following the steps listed in this article: Why won't my Fitbit device sync?
Regarding your question about the Android 8.1, could you please provide a few more details? Or confirm if you were also referring to the compatibility?
Unfortunately we haven't received any updates to be able to know when more devices will be included in the list of compatibility. I hope too that other phone models can be included in the near future.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions.
