    Thanks so much! We were frustrated with the online forum and long manual, to the point that we were about to throw away the Fitbit Charge 4 (my husband bought this model only 3 weeks ago) and buy an Apple watch. Take care, and keep up the good work, your instructions are targeted and concise.

    Glad to see that someone else is having problems with 1) getting the screen to respond with taps, and 2) trying to reset the device while it's in the charger. The engineers responsible for the design of the charger/charging pins have got to be held accountable for this :) - it's ridiculous. Bad design.

    • @wearablewhisperer
      @wearablewhisperer  4 роки тому

      Maybe. Are you starting an exercise manually via the Exercise App on the Charge 4 or just using auto detect? If starting an exercise manually, what Exercise Shortcut(s) are you using (for example, are you using "Walk" and "Bike" or "Outdoor Workout")? I've seen others say their distance isn't being tracked when they use the "Outdoor Workout" Exercise Shortcut, but it does if they use "Walk".

  • @icemantraveler
    @icemantraveler 4 роки тому

    I had the black screen issue with the Fitbit Charge 4, I tried resetting by holding the button for 8, 10, 15 seconds. Would not work.
    I read on here that the button may lose track of pressure from finger/thumb.
    I used a Phillips screwdriver to apply pressure (firm but not overdoing it).
    I had to hold the button down for closer to 20 seconds but finally saw the smiley face.
    PS - I used the screwdriver because it was handy, in retrospect you could probably use a cotton swab or something similar to apply pressure without risking damaging/scuffing it.

    I just got a charge 4. I want to like it but its quite infuriating. GPS only works intermittently when "dynamic" GPS is selected. "Built in GPS" doesn't appear to work. I've lost GPS connection both times now on a run. Doesn't sync data to Strava aswell and fitbit has the nerve to ask for monthly payments to unlock more app features. Finally here in the U.K fitbit pay supports 1 just 1 major bank. Pitiful.

      @wearablewhisperer  4 роки тому

      Are you asking how to stop an exercise or how to access the clock face during an exercise?
      If it's the first, you just press the side button once to pause, a second time to stop, then tap "Finish" on the screen, then press the side button once to return to the Apps, and then press the side button again to return to the clock face.
      If it's the second, unfortunately you can't access the clock face during an exercise. You can tap or swipe the display during an exercise to change the middle stat, and one of the stats should be the current time.

      This is what I've read from the Fitbit Community Forum: "It looks like you just have to wait for the update like everyone is saying. I had the same problem and could not get into setup either. I got my charge 4 on Monday and tried everything I could think of. Then I read in Community that others were having the same problem and to wait for the Firmware to update. Today Wed the app said the update was ready. I updated and that took care of the problem. It looks like you have to wait for the update (48.20001.96.29) and it takes a few days. The app will get the update and then tell you to update."
