Does anyone else have a fitbit that can connect to their galaxy S6? The phone cannot find my girlfriend's fitbit charge HR and therefore won't connect to it. The app just sits there trying to connect for a minute to no avail.
Can anyone confirm? I posted to the fitbit forums and seems like my wife is the only person with a S6 and fitbit so no one can confirm/deny yet :/
I am having the same issue and just spent 25 min with fitbit and they can't figure it out either, it works just fine if I connect it to the laptop or to the old S5.
I've got a fitbit... But sadly no S6 Once I get it ill post back..
Update,
Uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and it works now.
My Fitbit works just fine with my s6
hmmm
Was having issues but uninstall/reinstall seemed to work. This was after it stopped syncing After already paired. Still think something a little fishy is going on. Will continue to monitor
My wife had the same issue. It kept saying it couldn't connect. Stopped trying, came back into the app, and it was connected just fine. There's definitely something flaky going on with some of the bluetooth connections on this device.
Mine connected fine, but I have another issue.. I can't seem to enable send call and text notifications to my Fitbit :S anyone else encountered that?
Make sure that under Settings->Lock Screen and Security->Other Security Settings->Notification Access you've given your Fitbit app permission to access notifications.
When i try to give my fitbit notification access it is greyd out in the options. Now i cannot pair the fitbit and s6 at all. Any ideas?
Hi just got a fitbit charge today. Had trouble getting it paired with Galaxy S6. Apparently you don't pair it using the phone you use the fitbit mobile app. I logged out on the app, logged back in and it gave "set up" option. Clicked that and when I went to Galaxy bluetooth setting the fitbit charge was shown as paired
No luck
My fitbit charge stayed paired to my s6 for a day and a half. Now, nothing. They will not connect at ALL.
Same problem....with pc all perfect. with S6 cant connect....same problem and error sink.
Restart app, reinstalled app, all.....same problem :crying::crying::crying:
Still No Luck
I'm having the same issue. When I first got my galaxy s6 it was able to find my Flex tracker immediately. After a couple of weeks, it just stopped finding the tracker. I reset my Flex, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, turned my phone on and off, but still nothing. I just got the charge HR as a gift, and the app will not find my device at all. For those of you who finally got your app to work with the s6, how did you do it? I have tried everything and I'm so frustrated.
Samsung s6 and fitbit charge not syncing
I read through these suggestions and was still having problems. I then read how to restart my fitbit and it has been working wonderfully since. To restart just start to charge it as you normally would then hold down the button on the side for 10-15 sec until the fitbit logo displays then unplug. After that mine synced and worked well. Now that I know this I will be doing it on a regular basis just in case.
My S6 did the same thing!
I have an S6 and began having this issue today. My fitbit app said my charge hadn't synced since 10:53am yesterday, which I know is wrong because I sync every night before I go to bed. Anyway, today my bluetooth said unable to communicate with device. I unpaired it and then tried to pair it again, but my charge didn't show up in my available devices. I un/reinstalled the app, reset my charge, restarted my phone, turned bluetooth off/on, only to find that the only thing that worked was to delete the charge from the fitbit app and re add it there. It worked perfectly fine after that. Go into the app, click the button next to the dashboard, click devices, click your current device and then hit the trashcan in the top right corner. When that list is empty, click the plus sign in the top right and add a new device. You'll have to add it as if it's your very first time pairing the device.
My Fitbit Flex will sync with the app on my Samsung S6 ... but pairing itwith the bluetooth isn't working. Fitbit either can't be located or when it is, it won't communicate with the phone or the pairing is rejected by the Flex. I have followed every step Fitbit has for set-up but no luck with pairing. Any suggestions?
THANK YOU!!!!! That fixe it for my S6 Edge! The Fitbit notification Service was turned off.
I had the same problem, so I uninstalled the App, restarted my phone, reinstalled the App & did what "flu13" above suggested and:
"Make sure that under Settings->Lock Screen and Security->Other Security Settings->Notification Access you've given your Fitbit app permission to access notifications. " --Thanks for that info...
Then, my S6 connected to Fitbit right away.

Ive had my Smartwatch 2 for 3 months and it and my Samsung Galaxy S3 are running up to date software on Smart Connect and Smartwatch 2.
The problem I have is that because of the shape of my house (long and thin) when i'm at home my watch will often lose its bluetooth link with the phone and simply reconnect when I come back in to range. At least it does MOST of the time.
But randomly I get the message "Pairing with device will clear data from previously paired device". It then requires a reset on the watch and unpairing the watch and repairing on the phone.
There seems to be no logic to these "lock-ups". Sometimes I can go in and out of range once and it locks...sometimes I get no lock-ups all day. Sometimes i'm out of range for a few seconds, sometimes minutes. It seems as though something prevents the automatic repairing on some occassions and not others. And sometimes you have no idea the watch has failed to repair because that message sometimes also fails to appear.
Everything else about the watch I like...but this is driving me nuts.
Are there any rules to how the watch handles bluetooth. As nobody else on here seems to have mentioned this maybe its something i'm doing wrong.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have the same phone and watch combo and mine connects back up again without any problems. Is your S3 rooted and if so, with which ROM? I am guessing your watch is on the latest firmware.
I am using a 4.1.2 ROM called BoneStock, but will flash one of the new 4.3 ROMs (now leaning towards MOAR TW 4.3).

I have a different phone, htc one sv on stock Rom and I have never experienced the issue you described. Always reconnects without an issue.

Thankyou very much for your replies.
I am now more confused as it does seem there is some sort of problem with my set-up between the watch and my Samsung S3.
The firmware on the watch is up to date as is the Smart Connect app and the Smartwatch 2 app.
My S3 is running stock 4.1.2 (and not rooted) and I have no desire to update it with all the problems that might bring.
It doesn't seem as though there are any further settings on the watch I could try adjusting. There doesn't seem to be any further Bluetooth settings on my S3 but I would love to be corrected if i'm wrong.
Any ideas?
I have an S4 and mine has locked up and refused to reconnect again. the first few times i had to reset the watch to get it going again but i figured out how to fix it without having to reset.
if they are refusing to reconnect i just goto my phone and unpair the watch, then do a scan for bluetooth devices and it should find the watch ... pair and everything should be fine. no resets or uninstalls needed.

Thankyou for the suggestion. This will make the re-pairing process a little simpler and I will try it.
But I am hoping to work out why the phone and watch sometimes lock up when they they should reconnect automatically.
I go out of range often and lose the connection, it then often won't reconnect. I've found the fastest way to get it to reconnect is to turn the Bluetooth off on the watch and then back on again. As long as the smart connect app is running on the phone it will then reconnect, most of the time. This is using an s3 and omnirom.

I use a HTC One (4.3) and I´ve never experienced this problem.
I have been successfully using an S2 sport and then switched to a classic with no problems on either watch. I use a Nexus 6 running AICP, an LP ROM based on Cyanogenmod. Yesterday a totally new problem emerged: After the watch disconnects from Bluetooth and then reconnects it no longer will receive notifications of any kind from the phone. Note that I do not use WiFi connectivity, just Bluetooth. All other communication with the phone like weather or incoming phone notifications still work after a reconnection.
If I light reset the watch and then restore the data I will get all notifications again so everything is set correctly on the phone and the watch. I then tried the following steps to see if I could fix the problem:
Uninstalled/reinstalled all Gear apps from the phone with no change in behavior.
Factory reset the watch with no change in behavior.
Uninstalled/reinstalled all Gear apps from the phone and factory reset the watch with no change in behavior.
Turned the watch off/on with no change.
Went back to the last nightly build of my ROM that I know was working correctly with the same behavior.
I can't think of anything else to do to try and fix the problem, anybody have any other ideas?
I did discover that once the watch stops receiving notifications, I can just restore the data without doing the light reset to reestablish notifications. It will be really annoying once I get back to work because I routinely walk away from my phone and the watch becomes disconnected. Having to restore the phone data in order to receive notifications will be problematic.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred
Edited in 2015-12-21 - Solved Problem, Very Strange
So it turned out that the problem is that I switched the band to one of the nylon bands that loops under the watch (I like those because they are very light and indestructible). You would think the problem would be charging the watch with one of those bands that goes behind the watch but that was not a problem. However, something about the different stress pattern caused by the band on the watch case caused the watch to not accept notifications. Other communications worked fine and it would work if I reset the watch. When I did all the debugging described above I left the watch on my wrist.
However, just for a lark I took the band off today and everything worked as it should.
The original strap still work perfectly.
Go figure.
Fred
I may have a similar issue on my S2 with AT&T numbersync enabled (paired to a stock S5 active) where notifications stop appearing on the watch for apparently no reason. I have the sport watch with the stock band though. I've done a light reset twice so far. It might be related to the bluetooth reconnecting. I'll have to try it out a few times to see. Thanks for the info on doing restore data to get notifications working again. Much better than a light reset.
So just last night at around 5AM my Galaxy S7 was working perfectly in terms of WiFi (don't ask why I was up at 5AM lol). But I fell asleep and I wake up at around 3PM and it won't find any networks at all. If I go into the WiFi settings and turn WiFi on, the page where it's supposed to list nearby WiFi connections is blank. All it says is "Scanning for WiFi networks..." but nothing pops up. This isn't my home connection because there are TONS of nearby WiFi connections, and I know because I've seen them on the list before, And my laptop is working fine so it's only my S7 that's acting weird. I restarted it multiple times to check it that was the problem but it didn't fix it. Can anyone help?
Is the S7 Stock? What ROM is it running? did you have auto updates enabled? have you wiped and reset it yet?
same problem here

Try booting into recovery and clear the caches, reboot and see if it works

I did, it still doesn't work. I contacted Samsung support and they said it may be a physical problem. I did drop my phone and it cracked the screen, but I don't really see how it could be that. But the problem did start a day after I dropped my phone, so maybe.

Sounds very possible that dropping your phone from enough height to crack the screen could also damage internal hardware
Could be something as simple as a cable coming loose, but could also be physically damaged
I have the same problem, my wifi also cant find available networks, but when i try to connect it via WPS it connect and then it also show all available networks as well, but when the light goes or wifi disconnect due to some reason it once again cant find it and i have to connect it via WPS , also it cand find my office wifi
Anyone else? I can't see any other threads about people experiencing bugs with these latest updates.
I'm forever losing connection, calendar notifications come through despite being on my blocked list, it's a bit laggy and google assistant works when it feels like it.

Mine works without any problem o.o
I've been reading people with lag or buggy screens but at least not in my case.
Model: LEO-DLXX
have you tried:
- turn off Bluetooth
- clean data and cache from wear os (Android wear) app
- Uninstall wear os app
- 'forget' your watch from Bluetooth devices
- restart phone
- factory reset your watch
With this procedure it should be a clean install again. Good luck!
working good here for me
I also got this problem too, I tried factory reset the watch but still no connection:crying:
Same problem here with bluetooth. Connection gets broken at half the distance that I could go with the old OS on it.
And worse, it will not reconnect when i'm close to my phone. I have to shut down the watch and start it again.
it also uses it own GPS for location services and not the one on the phone when connected, so batterylife goes down.

I have the very same problem described here.
BT connection breaks down and the watch won't reconnect. Since the update, it's connected to my wifi all the time now when I'm at home, but not to my phone anymore. After a restart of the watch, Bluetooth connection works for a few minutes, but once it loses the connection, it's back to wifi only.
Never had such problems before...
I can confirm the GPS problem as well.
In addition to that, I noticed that every time I restart the watch, it downloads some Google TTS data. Again and again. Strange. (Btw, it says it needs wifi for the download, so maybe this is related?)
i had a problem when mine updated the other month and I had to reset Watch and AW a few times to get it working again. It seems unlike the older versions unless you use the watch for answering calls, it will not show as connected under the phone BT settings, but if go into the Wear app it will say connected.
I'm not sure when last got an update, but last night it never tracked my sleep, so restarted watch today and noticed it is now on March 2018 security update and today i have also received an update on my phone for Wear OS.
A factory reset of the watch, reinstallation of the Wear OS app on my phone and allowing the Wear OS app to override the deep sleep settings on my phone fixed this problem for me.
Tonight I lost the "network" access somehow. I could still get notifications, could use the "find my phone" or "find my watch" I could even send texts. But if I tried to use the play store or launch My Radar, it would give me a network not available message (sorry, don't remember the exact wording). This is a non-LTE GW4. WiFi off, using bluetooth. Rebooting watch didn't help. Disconnecting/reconnecting watch from the phone didn't help. Restarting bluetooth didn't help. Eventually I rebooted my Samsung A52 G5 phone, then everything was back to normal again. Just thought I would report this to see if anyone else has seen this behavior. A little troubling that I would run into this only on my second day of using the watch...
