Forcing socket - Fitbit exercise > run > connecting

[Asibin]

My SDK app is having issues at times with using the socket.

I noticed that the included EXERCISE fitbit app when you select an exercise like RUN, and begin it will say "Connecting..." and keep trying and after a variable amount of time say "CONNECT.  

I have similar functional needs.  Does anyone have information about what the Exercise app does that forces the CONNECT?  Sometimes this takes a second other times a minute, but it is fairly reliable.

It may be trying to connect to the GPS (which is related but different). You could evaluate this possibility by turning off the GPS option in the Exercise app.
