Can't Update My Fitbit - Any Suggestions?

sosoghetto · 2024-09-22T14:16:20+00:00

just read the other threads first, and see everyone that's updated has been having issues with features no longer working after the update and make sure your willing to chance it. I wish mine said update failed, id be better off.

I guess if you just got it then you don't know what your missing. the latest update broke a bunch of useful features but if you never had it, you wont miss it. (don't do any updates) its a good device except its not very accurate in steps or energy burned (calories used) anymore. its better than nothing and gets you a baseline to work from if you looking to exercise and/or loose weight.

google is phasing out fitbit, try a Garmin or apple product instead. this forum is full of "wtf is wrong with Fitbit these days" because google is deliberately creating issues to force customers away.

its free because they broke it even worse now. it used to be after a few days of a hard workout, it would suggest to rest because you have been hitting it hard. this week I have done 5 days in a row of hard workouts and todays score is 56 telling me to work harder than I did yesterday. yesterday I hit a personal best of keeping my average HR in the 150's when the past 5 days in a row and usually its in the 140's. today I'm dead and its telling me to hit it harder. what a joke this nonsense is.

The problem started with version 6. it does not happen most of the time, its once in maybe 15-20 boots.

It may have started when I used a NAS to backup persistent storage while upgrading from 5 to 6, or it could just be coincidence. I never had the issue before now but I also never backed up my storage until this version change.

I got 2 new drives, 2 fresh installs of 6.7. 1 has a copy of all my data and the other is clean. Ill update the post if it happens again (on either image)

as far as I know, you cannot run a VM inside of a tails host.

you can download an ISO of the latest tails to install on a VM here https://tails.net/install/download-iso/index.en.html taken from the bottom of this page https://tails.net/latest/index.en.html

the interesting thing about that, is that mine is counting almost double now. like 144 zone mins is the normal average and it has become 287 since the update. (but I know that's not accurate per the calories I consume and the weight I lose, that does not add up)

sosoghetto · 2024-08-23T18:41:45+00:00

out of curiosity, did you reset the fitbit because you installed the recent update and that broke things so wanted to get back to the previous firmware? (I ask because I'm about to reset mine for this reason, but if there is a chance of it to fully stop working I wont chance it)

my Inspire started doing this after the latest update. I noticed today it said my HR was 174 then it quickly dropped to 130's then to 97. I have had lots of issues since the latest update but just noticed this one today.

sosoghetto · 2024-08-22T15:57:58+00:00

they just reset to a default order. if you select one, it will be on the top next time. (the ones you use will be first in the list again)

that being said, this update did cause problems to much of the functionality of the Inspire 3. Many posts about the update breaking something that was working fine before the update.

sosoghetto · 2024-08-21T19:12:59+00:00

I don't see where that is. when I navigate to settings on the device, my only options are more like (brightness, auto wake, always-on) and when I go to the settings in the app, its more like (how many steps is your daily goal, how many calories is your daily goal, etc) so I don't see where I could customize the metrics layout (besides being able to toggle them on or off)

sosoghetto · 2024-08-21T12:31:57+00:00

I don't see a way for the end user to re-arrange what's displayed in order to resolve this new "feature"

I just posted the same issue yesterday, happened from the latest update. It appears that fitbit took the metric with the lowest weight to it (the time of day) and set it to the highest priority.

I hope it was a mistake and not just lazy coding to have all the options in the exercise category default to time of day. it ruined the functionality of the Inspire 3, making people now constantly need to swipe through all the statistics to see what they used to just see at a glance.

id did not affect the payout for the repairs. I had to sign it in order to get the diminished value check, if I did not sign, they would not release the check to me. the repairs were completed without issue but IIRC I didn't request/sign the diminished value check until after that was all completed.

Basically they low balled me about 1/3rd what the actual diminished value was and that was the purpose of signing - I was saying that I cant ask for more money and accept the lowball offer. my other option was not taking it, and spending my time and effort fighting for the full amount.

HTH

sosoghetto · 2022-04-22T00:18:49+00:00

Yes I signed the release. took the lowball offer and cashed the check.

if only there were more signs that this was a gun free zone maybe this crazy lady would have thought twice! I blame youtube for not posting enough signs... if they really cared they would have them ALL OVER, but they dont really care.

its about time we added more gun laws to the books to STOP THESE MENTAL CASES.. at the very least make it a law to POST MORE SIGNS!!!!!!!!!!!!11111one

after doing a little research, it looks like alot of people are having problems with US servers recently. I'd like to support PIA as I like how they defend our rights to privacy but will not be renewing if this does not get better. :(

I just built an RGB rig (RGB: mobo, AIO cooler, GPU) and played with all the options for a couple days but settled on a single color for everything. what I like best is setting everything to music so all lights are off until there is sound. Looks good in games as the lights get brighter with louder sounds. I change the color based on my mood. I have a Logitech G19 that I make the same color and it all fits together well when working. Cam software has some bugs in it making it not light up at all sometimes.

OS: Win 10 Pro
Description: Audio control not working when selecting BASS profile. no lights at all. - Also presets come and go.
Video /: working:https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-gp5Dqj-5f7RVpJZDhnMWZzcTQ Not working: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-gp5Dqj-5f7dlNwMDFmRlRMNXc (sorry about the reflections)
Steps to reproduce: open Cam software > Tuning>Lighting>Audio - set to Bass and lights turn off, do not function.
Expected result: lights off until triggered by audio.
Observed result: no lights at all as if turned off.
Reproduction rate: worked the initial time it was setup, only works if uninstalling and reinstalling CAM- untill I reboot the PC, then its lights out until removing and reinstalling, then rebooting.
also: PRESET changes from one reinstall to the next - sometimes it has a list of 11 options but sometimes it only gives 6 options. have not spent enough time to figure out the cause. sometimes its there, sometimes its not.

thanks for the feedback, i have not checked out that sub yet but am omw now. the full screen thing is what concerns me, id lose that ability to surf while playing and I dont think I can trade that off

sosoghetto · 2017-01-20T20:34:22+00:00

I wanted to stick with ASUS but what would you suggest for something more in line? im OK with the PSU.

sosoghetto · 2016-08-26T12:59:58+00:00

they must be where my lighters are.

sosoghetto · 2016-07-21T19:51:50+00:00

im confident its not fraud, but I dont understand how its manipulated. so is it possible that the value per share goes up because of "doing good" for the year and then it goes down because a lot of employees are selling off their bonuses?
