No more button short cuts?

[Drew_Watkinson]

Ok for those that don’t know when you swipe to your apps the app on the top and bottom left could be accessed by holding the top or bottom right button. So the app updated today and now I cannot use this. Now, apparently holding top right button goes to notifications the same as an up swipe and the bottom right button now does nothing? Is this really the case, losing functionality?

With Charge 3 being out I assume we have an incoming firmware update that some people here may have got access to. Is there something new here in the firmware that would be a reason to remove the previous functionality?

The shortcuts are accessible as always via quick press of the two buttons, not long press.

Derp, my bad.

Thanks, I have been having a hell of a day with my ionic today with the 2.80 update. 

Had to remove and re add it as it was stuck just looking and would not connect. After getting that dealt with I went to long press to check weather and got notifications. Could of sworn I always used long press before but regardless now using short press.

Awesome, thank you for this information @Giampi71. It's also good to see you around in the forums @Drew_Watkinson. 

@Drew_Watkinson, only pressing it for two seconds should be enough, you can find more information about it in this article last updated on September 27th: How do I navigate my Fitbit device's screen?

It's good to know that you're no longer having trouble to sync either. 

I hope this helps.
