Fitbit One Not Syncing

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

I have an iphone - noticed that it had not synced since early this morning. I plugged it into the charger, turned it off- followed that whole standard procedure about 5 times.  Nothing. The app on my phone cannot find the tracker.  So I opened Fitbit Connect on my pc, and tried to sync that way.  All I get is "Sorry we could not sync your FItBit tracker. Please retry. 

 

Have tried it several times now. Nothing.

 

Okay customer service - I need this fixed! Smiley Frustrated

 

Fixed it myself.  This is what I had to do.  The "normal procedur" that is so often referenced here did not work for me.  This is what did:

Plug in the One to the pc charger. 

Hold down the button for 20 seconds to turn it off.

On your phone, close the app.

On your phone, turn off Bluetooth.

Press the button on the One again to power it back up.

On the phone, turn on the Bluetooth.

On the phone, restart the AP.
