Hi Lbologna3 this is exactly what I have to do on most days. It would be great if you never need to do this, and sometimes more when you just expect it to do what you bought the Fit bit 3 for. Regards Slumber123.

I’m having the same issues and I never had a problem with my HR.
i have 3 different smart phones and it won’t sync with any of them- I’m very disappointed.

Wish I had not bought fitbit 3. Sync problem every time I check my states. Never had this issue with fitbit 2. I will take this product back to the shop if a solution to this problem is not found. It seems alot of people are having the same issue.

The reason I'm asking for more information about your device and the version of the app installed is to determine what is our next course of action, so I'd really appreciate if you can reply with that information.

Although it was syncing just fine with my old phone for months, I'm unable to get my fitbit3 to sync with my current phone. It shows up in my phone's bluetooth options, and the fitbit app sees it, but it times out after I enter the code to pair it (after being stuck at "Sorry the setup is taking longer than usual...." Connecting part for ages and ages).
I've tried:
I've done these in the order suggested in this thread and in other orders as I have continued struggling to get it to work.
There are no other bluetooth devices nearby and my old phone has bluetooth totally disabled in the settings and the fitbit unpaired. The fitbit is not currently paired with any other devices.
New phone is a Samsung S6 fwiw. Old one was an S5. I don't have any other supported devices to try to pair it with.

Also, yes, my fitbit app has full permissions on my phone. Forgot to note that.

If the solution is to remove all Bluetooth devices, that’s a poor solution.

If a solution is to remove all Bluetooth devices from phone, that’s a pretty poor solution.

The Charge 3 does not even show up on my Bluetooth device list. Message in App says it found Tracker, but searched for over 20 minutes, three different times, and never connected.

On my way back to the store to return Charge 3. Not worth the time and trouble—and it still does not work.
