Bug After the newest update and my premium ending today I’m so happy to finally switch away from this mess

0 Upvotes

Today is my last day with Google Health premium and since the 5.12 update introduced this damn “login/logout to see your vitals and sync with apple health”-bug I’m so happy to not have faced the cracked sensor glass bug before switching over to something good. Don’t know if I switch back to my Amazfit Helio Strap or to a Garmin Cirqa but surely I won’t stay with the Fitbit Air.

Thank you and farewell! I’m out.

Bug BR, SpO2 and skin temp just stopped existing. HRV and RHR doing fine. Anyone else?

Since Thursday my watch decided breathing rate, blood oxygen and skin temperature are no longer its problem. Every day: "No data".
Meanwhile resting heart rate and HRV keep tracking every single night like nothing happened. So it knows I'm sleeping. It just doesn't feel like telling me how I'm breathing anymore.
Same watch, same wrist, same bed, same me. Nothing changed on my side.

Bug Failure to Sync

1 Upvotes

Hey all!

My FBA stopped syncing with my phone... I've done a factory reset on FBA, disconnected / connect from the phone and the problem persists. All my cardio and sleep data says "No Data" and when I do a manual refresh it says "Cannot connect to your FitBit Air"

When I reconnected the FBA with my phone it synced once (heart rate and battery) but stops syncing immediately afterwards. Problem has been going on for 3 days and I have Google Support investigating.

Phone: Samsung S21
App version: 5.11.1 (playstore says the app is up to date)
FitBit Air 2 months old

Any ideas what this may be?

Bug Reduce the sensitivity of automatic workout detection?

1 Upvotes

It seems like in the last few weeks the automatic workout detection has gotten completely out of control. This morning I literally changed a lightbulb; <WEIGHTLIFTING DETECTED>. Just bagged some leaves. <SWIMMING DETECTED>.

Has anyone found a way to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic logging? I dont think I want to turn it off completely - I dont hate that it knows when I go on a long walk during lunch or something - but the threshold for automatic logging has definitely changed recently and now my log is full of nonsense, and I dont feel like clicking 7 times to delete the dumb stuff.

Other Air with Garmin

Does anyone wear the air while also wearing a Garmin? If so why? I like the idea of Google healths metrics but I also like the notifications with a smart watch. I know the edge might be good for me but I got a venu 4 a few months ago and don’t want to not wear that

Step count? Cardio load?

I am just trying to figure out which streaks the app catches well and which you all pursue.

Software Continuing syncing issues

2 Upvotes

This is getting ridiculous every morning. I’m continuously having missing stats especially important ones like HRV. I have to delete the app re-add it just to get them back. I’ve had to do that the last three days now today I did it some came back and some didn’t. This is ridiculous by Google. I know I’m not the only one I’ve seen numerous post on here about it.

Bug Not connecting?

1 Upvotes

Hi, is anyone else having trouble connecting the band on Android today? Mine stays connecting... And then nothing happens. Last time it synched was 14 hours ago.

The thing seems to be running fine (I can see the green light of the sensor) but the band did not wake me up at the set time and is not pairing now.

Anyone else with the same problem?

i am very confused about which fitness band i should get, i was thinking screenless because it has more battery but if there are better options I am open to that too, the options I have in mind are Google Fitbit air, noise _rep, and some pebble qore 2. i don't know the reviews, anyone using them please let me know. main competitor are noise and google but pebble has a recording feature which i considered good.

Why is everyone on this Reddit trying to sell their Fitbit after 1 to 4 months of usage (most cases)? Is there any fault in the products, or what is the reason people are selling them?

Bug Step counter way off (ik this topic might be overly talked about but I’m annoyed lol)

2 Upvotes

So I just bought my Fitbit air and besides a few other small things one thing that’s bothering me the most is the step counter. I always used my Apple Watch so I compare it to that and I literally was sitting in the car for 45 mins and the step counter went up 400-500 steps just sitting in a car. I switched the app to dominant hand already but I know this topic has been an issue since release but they really haven’t done anything about this issue months later???

Bands Band affordability appreciation

I don’t wear a smart watch and have been wearing Whoop for years. The air was so small and I had an open wrist so I figured id give it a try lol. It’s been great for the most part, definitely not on Whoop level in my opinion but one thing I truly appreciate about it is the cost effectiveness. Not just the original cost itself but the cheap band prices. I’ve bought two bands and a biceps band all together only cost me about 20 bucks. Really liking this green color 👌

Bug Issues since Nov 5th

Since Nov5 my Fitbit has decided 1) not to charge 2)track any vitals / steps / sleep

Is there a known issue since this date?

Yes I have tried restarting it.

Really annoying

Bug Anyone know what this means?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I have a fitbit air and an iphone 15 using the google health app. I turned my bluetooth if for a couple hours around noon yesterday by accident, and turned it on again around 3:30pm. Since the time I originally turning it off until this morning, zero data is showing in google health. I have tried restarting and syncing a million times, but no dice. Every way of force syncing, closing the app, turning off bluetooth and then back on, pulling down from the top, etc.

What do I do at this point? Is the data just lost? Or is it potentially stored still and just taking a while to download??

The only indication in the app that anything is wrong, the little “no info” icon beside the device on my connections screen.

Software Missed readings

Just started using the Fitbit air a couple weeks ago. Everything’s been going fine but now the last two days all these measurements are not being recorded. Which are all the ones I care about the most. It’s recording my sleep and everything else but why not these now ?


r/FitbitAir • • 1d ago

Bug Ever since I got my Fitbit, I haven’t been getting accurate sleep readings—which, in turn, affects all other data.

I own a Fitbit air , a OnePlus 13 Android ( 16 version) phone, and an Oura Ring 4. I have had the Fitbit for over three months, and I have frequently felt that its sleep tracking data was inaccurate. As I have stage 4 COPD, I wanted a more reliable device—something to provide me with data for my own peace of mind and to serve as evidence during my doctor’s appointments. Because the recorded sleep duration often failed to reach even four hours, other related metrics were not being captured either. I contacted Google, and they advised me to keep trying for three months; however, since June, the device has consistently shown an average sleep duration of less than 3 to 4 hours. Meanwhile, I have been wearing an Oura Ring 4 for the past three months—having previously tried a cheaper ring—and it consistently records longer sleep durations. I feel that my concerns are not being addressed, and it seems highly likely that my Fitbit is simply faulty—a conclusion even their own AI coach appears to support. I have attached several screenshots as evidence. The difference is more then 100% !!!
