There are a few similar issues on here but this one was a little specific.

 

Fitbit Versa at firmware 32.33.1.30

Google Pixel 2XL

 

Problem: GPS stopped being able to connect last week. I can control my phone's music, sync and get notifications (so I know bluetooth is connecting) but the GPS just would not connect. When I tried to start an activity to just said "connecting..." forever.

 

Solution: The fix was to go into Android's "App Permissions" settings for the Fitbit and even though the location switch was turned on I had to turn it off and back on again. After that everything started working again.

 

Now I can connect just fine.
