bpm and weather apps not syncing

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

any suggestions on how to get the bpm to sync with my Iphone? I've tried shutting my iPhone 8 off, closing the app, disconnecting and re-connecting bluetooth. I've shut the ionic down. I'm frustrated with this watch, really wish there was a direct phone line for customer support, could use it right now. Any suggestions? Also my weather app no longer syncs? All this happened since the last fitbit update. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried restarting your Ionic a couple of times?

Restart your tracker

Failing this there is a call fitbit option, but that only shows when there are operators available. Go to the link in my signature at different times of the day and the phone link shold be there sometimes. I just went to the link now and all contact options are available - see screenshot. I realise they are not always there though, so you have to keep trying to get the method you wantScreenshot_20180413-095404.png

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @slt38! Thanks for already troubleshooting this issue, nice way to go! Smiley Very Happy

Have you tried what my friend @NellyG suggested? Did the restart work? Also, I was wondering if you were able to reach out our Customer Support team? 

If the weather doesn't show it is possible that the location services option on your phone is not on. Take a look at these steps to check if those are on on your phone.

As you may know, your heart rate may be affected by any a number of factors at any given moment. Movement, temperature, humidity, stress level, physical body position, caffeine intake, and medication use are just a few things that can affect your heart rate. Different medical conditions and medications can impact your heart rate as well.

When your heart beats, your capillaries expand and contract based on blood volume changes. PurePulse LED lights on your device reflect onto the skin to detect blood volume changes and finely tuned algorithms are applied to measure heart rate automatically and continuously. The heart-rate icon you see on the display tells you if you're in 1 of 3 heart-rate zones.

Resting heart rate refers to the heart rate measured when you’re awake, calm, comfortable, and have not recently exerted yourself. We use your heart rate data from when you’re awake and asleep to estimate your resting heart rate. For best accuracy, wear your device to sleep. 

Your resting heart rate is usually higher than your heart rate while you are asleep, so don’t be surprised if your resting heart rate is higher than the lowest number that you see in your heart rate graphs.

Your tracker can have difficulty finding a signal, typically due to the tracker's fit. For example, wearing your band tightly may constrict blood flow in your wrist and affect the signal. We recommend experimenting with how high you place the tracker on your wrist. When you're not exercising, wearing the tracker just above the wrist bone--as you would a watch--typically works fine. However, moving the tracker up a couple inches can be helpful during high-intensity exercises or exercises that cause you to bend your wrist frequently. If you haven't already done so, please review our recommendations for wear and other tips shared by @SantiFitbit

Note that on Fitbit Ionic, the heart-rate value appears gray if your watch is searching for a stronger reading.

Occasionally your device may have difficulty getting a strong signal. If you don't see your heart rate on your device, first make sure you are wearing it correctly. After a short wait, you should see your correct heart rate again. On Ionic, make sure the Heart Rate setting is On. For additional troubleshooting, see Why don't I see my heart rate on my Fitbit device?
 
Hope this helps, keep us in the loop!
