Hello @Bosco777, have a warm welcome to the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. At this moment and to resolve this issue I would like to suggest you the following:
- Go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone and check if your tracker is on the list of paired devices. If it is, tap on it and select Forget this Device.
- Restart your phone
- Restart your Charge
- Open the Fitbit app and try to update the tracker again.
- In case you get the same error, try to set up your tracker as a new device instead:
- Open the Fitbit app and tap on the Account symbol at the top right corner of the screen, then tap on "Set up a New Device"
- Choose your tracker and follow the onscreen instructions to continue
- When the app asks you to replace your current tracker, please replace it and continue with the process.
- When a pop-up appears asking you to Pair your tracker to your device, tap on Pair and continue.
Keep in mind that setting up your tracker as a new device won't delete any of the information already stored in your account.
I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and let me know the outcome!

I tried the recommended fix and it did not work on my Apple 6plus.
When I got to the replace fitbit part it also thought my bluetooth was off.
It also won't connect or synch on my computer using the fitbit software.
Any other ideas?
