I've been having syncing issues with my Versa (like quite a few others who have been complaining about it) for almost a month now and I just had an update for the Fitbit app on my Galaxy S8. Thinking updating the app would fix the syncing problems I proceeded, but alas, my Versa still would not sync. So after trying every single possible thing suggested in all these posts where people are having syncing issues, I was down to my last resort- a factory reset. Well, the factory reset didn't even work. I am now stuck with a tracker that only shows a red x and "data not cleared; sync and try again". Once again, after perusing through other posts with this similar issue and trying to reset my Versa numerous times, the red x and message are still there, and my phone cannot find my device for it to sync (which, as I stated above, it's been having problems doing for weeks!). Yes, I've removed the device from my account, disconnected the Bluetooth, restarted my phone, deleted and reinstalled the Fitbit app, my phone OS is up to date, my Versa software is up to date; I've done everything I can think of. This is extremely frustrating because this thing was not cheap; it seems like way too many people are having syncing issues and it feels like nothing is being done to find a solution that works for everyone; every Fitbit tracker I've owned doesn't seem to last more than a year and a half, and every time an issue arises that cannot be fixed, my tracker is conveniently out of warranty. I do not plan on replacing this tracker with another Fitbit device if nothing can be done to fix my latest problem.
(sorry for the rant, I'm just frustrated and tired of dealing with these problems)

Seriously! It's never been solved. Ever. Definitely switching companies very soon, and will pass around the word that Fitbit doesn't deliver.

I have 0 steps - in fact 0 everything on my Fitbit app - def not the same as my watch - v v frustrating for a product that is designed to record movement.

At last spent 30mts with C/S and returned versa for replacement. Let me hope this works fine, otherwise say goodbye to fit bit.

there is a short term fix that only lasts a day. Go into settings on phone, then click on apps, click on fitbit app go to storage and clear cache then restart phone. suck you have to do every day.

Same here. And definitely on the same time line as the update to the app. Nothing suggested from support works. I'm amazed that this was marked Solved too. As it's not at all. Add the heart rate monitor not working either on mine to the mix. After all this and the fact that the company just released a Versa 2 without even bothering to resolve the issues with the first version; I have no desire to continue with the line. And I switched out all my logging from MFP to strictly Fitbit. Ugh.

I agree with previous posts...Ive had my versa for 12 months and will not be getting another, I shall be getting an apple watch. My versa sometimes has gone for a few weeks with no problem but then will go through weeks of not syncing. None of the 'help' solutions offered by support have worked I have had to delete the app from my iphone and reinstall it, log back in, got through the instructions etc etc. a right royal pain in the backside and Im fed up with it. Email support from fitbit has been infuriating with several replies saying " your versa has synced xx number of times since xxxx" yes I know thats becuase Ive spend another half an hour of my life deleteing and reinstalling the app. They flatly refuse to respond to very clear questions of why the versa will not remain synced with my (yes it has the latest update) iphone.

No, I have everything set correctly. Fitbit has all the permissions to bleed my battery dry and send me anything - it just can't find my device except after I reboot my phone and Fitbit EVERYDAY. Then it eventually fails at some point later in the day again. It all happened as soon as I updated the app to the version where they changed the face page to the new design. I hope with the new app update and more importantly new firmware update I just installed they solved the problem. But I doubt it and it doesn't excuse their customer support people who keep saying I need to replace my phone with one on the approved list (my daughter's is on that list and it won't sync with that one either). I'll buy an APPLE watch and have a usable device first.

I'm also having issues with my Versa no longer syncing for a few days now. I contacted support they assured me it was most definitely not my Versa but blamed my phone (Android) instead. I've tried everything I've seen to try and fix the syncing issue no luck at all.

It doesn't and someone already posted this link to the YouTube video earlier in the thread.

Android here. And if you look in the Android app store there are so many people suffering this issue with every phone and Fitbit combo imaginable that their rating dropped from over 4.1 to 3.7 stars and still falling.

@SunsetRunner I saw that too, about reviews. I think it's an app issue, just my opinion though. I'm hoping they fix it or I find a way around it at some point.

I have went through 3 replacement fitbit versas in the last 5 months. Now my versa is messing up again. I totally understand this frustration. I'm about done with versa or Fitbit all together.

I've tried to sync my versa on both Android and Apple and no luck.
