Sync problem with my android phone.

Only had my Fitbit for 2 days and although it was syncing fine with my phone it hasn't and won't synced since 7.30 this morning. I've tried everything on the trouble shooting page..... everything that should be on/off is as it should be. Any ideas anyone?

    My HR is not syncing w/ my android today either. could be a temp issue. will reboot my phone later (when i don't need it for awhile) and if that doesn't work, maybe reset tracker. If that doesn't work, i'll look to fitbit.com, see if it is a known issue :) Please post if your's starts to work :)

    I just noticed that there is a sync issue online as well, not w/ the HR, i didn't check that, but... it says one of my friends has not checked in to MFP in over 2 months. Hard to believe when she has posted a status update just 3 hours ago....

    MFP says they are suspending Fitbit synching until they can figure some issues out. Bummer, now my diary will be off.

    Great... I haven't finished logging my day and adding the extras I'm having from my exercise calories. Looks like I'll be estimating from similar activity days and hoping I'm not too off (MFP's CO estimation is about 200 calories fewer than Fitbit's.)

    Same here. It's really, really annoying. I don't understand why anyone should pay for MFP Premium if nothing has been going right lately. Good thing I don't have a premium account.

    Have you tried deleting, and reinstalling the app ?

    When MFP and Fitbit aren't syncing, I find it easiest to look at MFP to see how many calories I've eaten and then subtract that from what Fitbit thinks I've burned. Not ideal, but it gives me a rough idea of how much I have left to eat. If I wanted to be a little more accurate, I could add in my BMR for the rest of the day, but that's more arithmetic than I want to do.

    It's not just android - I noticed the issue with my iPhone. Here's a link to the issue:

    It would have been nice for them to have sent FitBit users a notification :/

    My exact thoughts! Before they offered premium, I rarely had problems. I'm thinking of finding something else.

    My issue is that my Fitbit HR won't sync with my Fitbit account on my phone. I think I'll have to get in touch with Fitbit.

    Disconnected my Fitbit from my phone and synced it with my pc but it still didn't work, my pc couldn't find it even though it was right next to it..... I believe there is something wrong with the Fitbit so I've sent it back and asked for a replacement.
