Fitbit and the FP2

[Emily_Collins]

Hi there,

Has there been any progress in making it possible to use a fitbit with FP2? When I’ve tried previously, the phone wasn’t recognised by the app. Was wondering if this was solved yet.

Thanks!

I can’t test personally, but there’s been reports of this working since March 2016 in this topic:

Fitbit working on Fairphone2?

Hi Fairphone-Forum, I currently own a Fairphone 1U. I bought the new fitbit alta and it seems like the F1U is not compatible. (Yes, my mistake. I could have looked it up) I was wondering if the Fitbit devices are working with the fairphone 2? I wanted to buy a fairphone 2 once they release the nfc chip add on (wishful thinking here.) Searching through the forum didn’t shed any light at all. There were just postings regarding fitbit devices with (or rather without) Fairphone 1(u). Can you hel…

This might, however, be crucial:

I could not register on the mobile app, but had to do it on the computer. Once registered, it was no problem zu use the fitbit with the fp2.

I have a Fitbit Alta HR and it works fine with the FP2.

As my Pebble just died yesterday, I tried to use a Fitbit.
Question to the community: Is anybody using a Fitbit (Versa) with the FP2 and LineageOS 15.1 or other versions?

I tried to make it work on my FP2 today for hours. The App is extremely slow, crashing and loosing connection to the watch. Not a single message made it´s way the the screen of the watch.

So I tried to connect to a Samsung Galaxy S5, also with LineageOS. There it works.

What are your experiences?
