Display is flashing

[Dodolona]

Software version 27.32.4.19

my brightness of the display is set to Automatic and I think this causes the display to flash while the Ionic is trying to set the correct brightness level.  Do you experience the same problem?  I suspect that it is a software bug and hope Fitbit will fix this annoying issue.

I suggest you try a RESTART and do it several times if necessary.

Hi Again,

I did a Restart and so far have not seen the same problem reoccurring.

Do you suggest to Restart the watch on regular basis? I do it on my iPhone one or twice a month and
believe it clears up temporary and unwanted files or memory space?

I see no reason to "regularly restart" but it is a very useful tool in recovering from problems. Keep it in mind and use it if necessary.

Hi Again,

Just to let you know that I just had the Ionic display flashing again and subsequently I did a Restart to
the device.

Yesterday I updated the OS and App to the new version.

Thank you for reporting back, Dodolona.

Restarting doesn’t work. Constant flashing after installing the new software, flattens the battery very quickly. Any sign of a big fix?

I'm having the same issue now myself.  A fix would be great.
