Luxe won't sync properly

Every day I have to restart my Lux, uninstall and reinstall, and or restart it to get it to sinc properly and transfer data to the app. Quite frankly I’m getting tired of this. Is there a way to keep this problem from happening every day?  Fitbit needs to send me a new Fitbit that actually works properly.

Thank you for your reply.  I have done all of the things you suggest pretty much every day, every time my Luxe Fitbit doesn't sinc to my phone.  Again this morning I uninstalled it, reinstalled it to get it to sinc to my phone.  The point I'm making is, I shouldn't have to uninstall and install my Fitbit every day.  Obviously there is something wrong with the Fitbit that it's not sincing or transferring data properly to my phone.

None of these steps solve the issue. My Luxe takes so long to sync that it usually errors out multiple times before it eventually does. The mythical ‘auto-sync’ feature is a distant dream.. I’d like it to at least manually sync without difficulty, as a basic requirement. 

Customer support is not helpful on the matter either, they usually give up / end the session once my device has synced, determining that the issue to be resolved - completely missing the point that it shouldn’t be this difficult every single time!

I am having the exact same issue.  My luxe will not sync with my android Device 😞
