Hi
I have a Fitbit Versa and a LG G6 phone (Android 9).
Recently my phone battery started to drain at a rapid pace. More annoying is the fact that the phone started to slow down (slow response). I also noticed that Google Play Services consumes a considerable amount of power.
I tried to find the source of the problem and then I found out that limiting the Google services location services helps to reduce the consumption as well as restore the phones response dramatically.
However, after a few days, I entered the Fitbit App and saw that there was no sync to the watch. The message was that it required the location service to be turned on. Once I turned on the location service (for Fitbit only) - battery drains, phone slows down etc.
I don't understand what is the connection between location service (used for GPS etc - which I was not using) and watch phone sync. Any idea?
Please help as this is pretty annoying situation
One more thing, I tried to contact Fitbit directly and turns out I need to report through Twitter. Not sure why I need to open a Twitter account to report an issue (or in other words: Not all the world uses Twitter, surprise, surprise).
Hope Fitbit people read this and respond
