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:
- When did you begin experiencing these syncing issues?
- What make and model mobile device do you have (Samsung Galaxy S5, S6, Note 6, etc)?
- What Android OS are you currently running (go to this link from your phone's internet browser to find out)?
- 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!
Answered! Go to the Best Answer.

Great news on our fitbit that quit syncing to galaxy 5. I went on the computer to the little fitbit icon in the bar at the bottom of the computer and clicked, signed on and clicked add a new device. I Put in the code number it said and it began its upload. Then it said connection failed. I logged back in using the icon in the bar and clicked new device. (I will add that I had the fitbit in the charging dongle and the small bluetooth plug plugged in right below it. ) I was required to add the number and when through the process again and voila... it connected and even took all the info from Aug. 8th when it stopped working till today Aug. 27th! I was ecstatic!!! I hope all users have this good of a result!

Ive been doing that a week or so and as long as i keep the bluetooth off on my phone, it syncs every time.
Hopefully samsung will correct the issue with their next update.

I also started having issues with my One not synching after I received a Samsung update on
August 18th on my Samsung phone but not right away. It synched for a day or two then stopped then two days later it started synching again without me doing anything.
But then after I received a "Fitbit" update on my phone it stopped synching again and it hasn't synched since. I received the Fitbit update some time after Wednesday, August 23rd at 9:00 PM, as that was my last synch time. I now have to synch my One with my laptop running Win 10 but I noticed it won't synch with my laptop until I turn the One off and back on. I never had to do that in the past. It throws up an error stating it is connected to another device which it isn't. I had deleted my One from my Blue tooth devices on my phone in trying to get it to synch again with my phone and now of course it won't pair with my phone. My phone is a Samsung S5 Android version 6.0.1 with Verizon for my carrier and my Fitbit is running version 6.60.
I sure hope a resolution can be found soon, as I rarely get on my laptop at home and I really miss not having the portability of checking and comparing my stats for the week on my phone through out the day.

computer. I did remove the one as a device from my phone though. I also
installed the fitbit app on my hubby's phone (a Samsung S6) and it syncs
and works fine. His phone is running Nougat instead of Marshmallow
though. This workaround is good, but I would still like to be able to sync
to my own phone and not have to rely on my proximity to either my husband
or my desktop computer. So hey fit bit.... what's the status on the fix?
It really really seems like a Verizon issue - should we be nagging at them
since they are the ones that broke it?

Is it possible to uninstall an update or push out a previous version of your app for the Android/Samsung? I can only sync with my home laptop, which I use briefly first thing in the morning. I am unable to participate in ongoing groups or challenges or check my progress during the day. I have considered upgrading to a Charge 2, but am reconsidering possibly another brand (?) Does anyone know if this is a recurring issue with any of the other trackers, or is it just the One?
