Hi all,

My Fitbit charge 3 started to flash, vibrate and constantly showing the wake up screen and notifications. The phone seems to be stuck in this routine, it won't respond to pushing the button. Even when it's charging it is doing this. I tried rebooting and a long restart, but the problem keeps coming back.

Anyone any other suggestions?

 

Thank you

Tine

Mine started doing the same thing last night.  I plugged it in to charge overnight not really thinking anything of it since it was right before I was going to bed anyway.  Took it off the charger this morning and it was doing this and I couldn't get it to reboot or anything.  I finally just left it on the kitchen table and when I got home from work (about 10 hours later), it seems to be working.  I'm going to keep an eye on it to see if it does it again.  I got a replacement a couple months ago due to the black lines on the screen so if this one goes out, I'm ready to save money for an Apple watch.

Mine started doing exactly the same thing today. (Flashing: Screen Wake and Notifications). But now it's flashing lots of other things as well e.g. the time and steps symbol amongst other things. I've tried re-booting (numerous times) and charging.  It even flashes when it's charging. I only got it on 21st October and it's 4th November today - so I'm not very pleased!

It couldn’t be resolved when it happened to me. My Fitbit had to be replaced.
