Resolved: One not syncing after Samsung Update

[ErickFitbit]

Fitbit Update 9/18/2017: Samsung released an update this week that should resolve the syncing issue. If you haven't already, please update your phone. Thanks again for your patience and reports. 

Fitbit Update 8/24/2017: Hi everyone- Thank you for your reports. We have all the information we need at this time and our engineers are currently reviewing. Once I have further information, I will be sure to update this thread.

Fitbit Update 08/17/2017: Hi everyone -- Several One users have reported that their trackers are no longer syncing with their Samsung mobile devices since a Samsung update.

If you're experiencing issues, please provide me with the following answers to the best of your ability so I can get this information over to our Android team who is currently investigating the root cause of this:

1. When did you begin experiencing these syncing issues?
2. What make and model mobile device do you have (Samsung Galaxy S5, S6, Note 6, etc)?
3. What Android OS are you currently running (go to this link from your phone's internet browser to find out)?
4. What phone provider do you have (Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc)?

Please copy and paste the above questions and your answers into the response.

I appreciate you all for helping out with getting me some answers as well as your continued patience. As a temporary workaround, please sync with an alternative supported device or computer. I promise we are doing everything we can on our end to get you all back to syncing. More updates to come!

My One finally synced today to both my Win laptop and my Samsung Galaxy S5. 

[BabsFlorida]

My Fitbit One has failed to sync with my Verizon Samsung Note 4 running Android 6.0.1 since the last update.  The phone app looks for the fitbit but does not find it, and Bluetooth doesn't see it, either.  Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

Donna, 

What did you do to get it to sync? 

Thx! 

[Krusey1]

Same problem here.

[DonnaLDC]

Not much recently. The other day I made sure updates for Fitbit on my S5 were up to date, made sure the phone sw was up to date, I restarted the FitBit like 5 times, none of it worked. I tried syncing both to the phone and to my Win laptop and to my MAC, none of it worked. Today all I did was try to sync, first on the laptop - worked, and then on the phone - also worked. 

[clrd78]

I synced to my work computer. So frustrating I'm ready to throw my Fitbit
away.

[Krusey1]

Still not working!I want to scream!

It is now 5 weeks since my One synced - 18 July.  Not impressed at all!

I don't have the app my phone and have deleted and updated the one on my laptop.
