After the last update 3 days ago my exercise tracking function would not work. I unpaired my device and attempted to re-pair. Disaster! Not only will the device not re-sync the Fitbit logo just keeps flashing on the screen. I can’t turn the device off (unless I let it run of battery life). Is there any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Hi there, @Mflinn. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for trying to troubleshoot the issue with your Versa 3 before reaching out.
Please note this issue comes from performing a factory reset without first unpairing your Fitbit device from your Fitbit account and phone's Bluetooth settings. With that being said, I suggest following the steps below in the order listed (or making sure you've done them as instructed):
- Unpair your Versa 3 from your phone's Bluetooth and also make sure it's no longer connect to your Fitbit app.
- Force quit the Fitbit app.
- Turn off the Bluetooth.
- Shut off your phone and turn it on after 1-2 minutes.
- Turn on the Bluetooth.
- Set up your Versa 3 again.
- If there is no connection, restart your Versa 3.
If you can't get started with your Versa 3, usually a missing requirement is the cause. Carefully review the requirements provided in the help article Why can't I set up my Fitbit device?
Hope this helps.
