Bluetooth

[janessarobyn]

My sense is connected to my android phone bluetooth. Whenever I go in my car it automatically connects to my car bluetooth to play music but then it doesn't reconnect the Bluetooth to my fitbit and I have to setup my fitbit all over from the beginning....it will sync but will not connect to bluetooth for getting messages or connecting weather (just isn't a strong connection like fitbjt says when you first set up that Bluetooth creates a better connection for syncing) . Any solutions to this ? Or just avoid playing music from my phone in my car?

If I'm understanding what you're saying....

If you go into settings on your watch, scroll down to Vibration & audio, scroll down to Music controls & on-wrist calls and make sure Sense Controls is turned on. When you connect Bluetooth it will have Sense and Sense Contols. 

I don't connect to a car, but I do connect to headphones. I was having trouble connecting to headphones but did this and it all works fine now. When you are in range of your car, or you start the car, it should automatically connect. When you shut the car off, it should automatically disconnect.

Hi @janessarobyn

Im not totally following you. 

I think you have the Car radio connect to your Sense Bluetooth Classic. 

The Sense, to sync, uses BTLE not classic. 

Notifications also use the Low Energy solution. 

With notifications, the tracker is not suppose suppose to stay connected. But as a trusted device, should connect when needed. 

If the Bluetooth Low Energy gets disconnected from the phone. 

Try removing the sense from the phones Bluetooth. 

This will force the fitbit app to ask for permission to connect. 

With fitbit's the user connects the tracker to their fitbit account. 

Then the fitbit app connects the tracker to the phones Bluetooth. 

Since the fitbit app is responsible to manage Bluetooth the user can not connect a tracker to the phone.
