Charge 2 is constantly vibrating and changing through the screen menu

I was woken this morning to my fitbit vibrating constantly as it was entering and exiting the timer mode, then found that it would randomaly shuffle through menus as if the button was being pressed and sometimes held.  I started to google on my phone what was happening and shortly after I started searching it stopped.  so I layed back down and within five minutes it started again. I looked up restarting my fitbit and preformed that. it contunued to act as though it was being pressed.  I tried restarting it a couple more times and it seems to have stopped for now.  but I was wondering what could have caused this.

Nope. They offer a replacement for a discounted price. Unless it's
under warranty which 1 year for US 2 for UK

I just bought a new one. Mostly because the little lines were starting to go out in the digital display. I thought it was on its last leg. I gave it to a friend and it’s still running and working just fine. I guess I jumped the gun. I just didn’t want to be without one. Let it run all the way down and then charge it, reset it. She did a total reset so... I just drain the battery and recharge it. I don’t think it’s done it again.

I just let it drain all the way and then followed what it said to factory reset. I bought a new one but gave that one to a friend. She hasn’t had a problem with it since last fall. Hope that helps.

It has been really disappointing to see how disinterested the company has been in actually helping customers solve this problem.  My watch also started vibrating constantly and switching between various screens until the battery went dead.  If you are having this problem, treat it like a cell phone that has been submerged in water.  Put the watch in uncooked rice for a few days.  You don't need a lot of rice, only enough to cover the watch itself.  I took my band off of the watch.  I was ready to throw my fitbit away when I remembered that I had washed it under running water the day before it failed.  The Charge 2 is supposed to be water resistant.  Having read the company's response to this concern, I assumed that the watch was shot.  I put it in a ziplock bag with rice and forgot about it for a week.  When I pulled it out, I found that it was working perfectly.  That has continued for 3 days.  It is difficult for me to believe that the company didn't know that this was a moisture issue.

I understand. I made the mistake of washing dishes with my first one. I just tossed it. Didn’t even think of rice. I gave my second to my friend and it’s been working ever since. I’m looking forward to the charge 3. Water proof. They are more user friendlily than polar. I got those for my school. Charging them is horrible.

As of 2 days ago I have been experiencing the same problem. Unfortunately recharging it nor restarting it seems to be working. Any other suggestions?

If you pushed anything into that small hole on the bottom side, that could
be a potential cause. Mine, eventually stopped displaying altogether.

Did you let it drain all the way down? And then do a factory reset?

Help. My Fitbit is going crazy. It keeps vibrating and changing screens like it’s possessed. I have tried to reset it but it is not a solution. Depend on my charge for so much. Please help. X

Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution. Consider it's probably
permanently out of service and look at a replacement.

I let mine run out of juice. I recharged it and did a factory reset. Id already panicked and ordered a new one. I gave that one to a friend and it was still working just fine a month ago. One of the reasons I gave it to her was she wanted to try one. I knew from experience when lines started going missing that it would go out totally. It’s still going though

Mine actually started working again. Did you restart it like it was brand new?

Hi my charge 2 just started vibrating non stop until it died.  I tried a reboot but nothing changed. 

When I plug it in to recharge it just starts vibrating again. The reboot process does not have any effect. 

Help please
