Versa 2 won't sync or receive notifications

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I have had to reset my Versa 2 at least 3 times in the last week to get it to sync, as well has turning off the bluetooth and having to pair it several times. 

Are there any fixes out there? So disappointed in my Versa 2, I don't even get notifications or texts anymore. I really should have gone with the Garmin Smartwatch!

Hi there, @5linjam. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for trying to troubleshoot the issue with your Versa 2 before reaching out. I understand where your concern is coming from and how you must be feeling. 

 

May I know the model of your mobile phone? Please make sure it meets the requirements listed here.

 

In addition to the steps you've done so far, please try the following:

 

1. Remove the Versa 2 from your phone's Bluetooth settings and in the Fitbit app.

2. Restart your Versa 2.

3. Turn off other Bluetooth connections when not in use.

4. Plug it into the charging cable and open the Fitbit app.

5. Set up your Versa 2.

 

As for the notifications, see Why are notifications delayed or missing?

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your post! I have a relatively new Samsung S20 FE and I have
restarted my Versa 2 at least 3 times this week, as well as turning off the
Bluetooth and running the pair to my phone again.

But I don't want to have to turn off my Bluetooth all the time, as it also
pairs to my vehicle for my cell phone use.

I'm still so disappointed in this smartwatch. I would have been better off
buying a regular watch and using the pedometer on my phone.

Thank you for your input though! But this will be the last Fitbit I ever
buy!

@5linjam Thanks for the additional details. I understand how disappointing this can be. 

 

It seems that your Fitbit device cannot connect properly to your new phone since you haven't yet forgotten the connection between your Fitbit device and the old phone's Bluetooth which would explain the connectivity issues you're running into. With that said, try the steps below: 

 

  • Unpair your Versa 2 from your old phone's Bluetooth and also from the new phone.
  • Force quit the Fitbit app.
  • Turn off other Bluetooth connections when not in use. This can help to prevent connectivity issues or Bluetooth interference.
  • Shut off your phone and turn it on after 1-2 minutes.
  • Turn on the Bluetooth on your new phone.
  • Plug it into the charging cable and open the Fitbit app.
  • Set up your Versa 2 again.
  • If there is no connection, restart your Versa 2.

 

Last but not least, please make sure that your new phone does meet the requirements listed here

 

Hope that helps.
