killing phone battery

[davidf100010]

Has anyone noticed a huge phone battery drain with the fitbit app? My phone battery drain is completely gone in 7 hours. I have turned off live data.

I noticed a couple of occasions on android where the fitbit app was keeping the phone awake for 2hr+. Force closing the app seemed to solve it though, I'm not sure if you can do similar on Windows Phone?

I am on iOS and only had this happen once. What happened was the app kept looking for my device(blaze at the time) so because the app was looking it just sucked the battery of both my phone and watch. 

Now from reading around here it seems like Android has had more syncing issues with the Ionic  could this maybe of happened to you?

I'm not really sure what happened. But this is the second night this happened. I'm going to turn off all day sync and live data to see if that is what the problem is.

Killing my battery on my Samsung S7 Edge. I have turned off all day Sync and always connected and it still wipes me out. Any fix ?

Day 1 with in Ionic, and Samsung Edge 7, same deal, at noon my battery was 48%. Not acceptable, need to understand why this is happening. Never had issues in the past.

I have a samsung s7 and I can't go more than 6 hours without it managing to make my phone flat. Samsung have sent me a message saying the app is overloading my CPU.

@Leiryfish you may be being affected by a new issue that's causing excessive battery drain and high data usage. Have a look at this thread: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Android-App/High-Cellular-Data-Usage-In-The-Background/td-p/2808875
