So it was working with my Nexus 4 until I plugged my fitbit into the charger. After that, the fitbit app can no longer sync with it. Any thoughts?

Edit: It is probably due to the 4.3 48 hour sync bug they mention on their website.

Reset & turn off background syncing

Reset your Flex:
1. Plug your charging cable into the USB port and insert your tracker into the charging cable.
2. Insert a paperclip into the small pinhole on the back of the charger.
3. Press the pinhole for 3-4 seconds.

Turn off Background syncing (in the App -> Menu -> Devices -> Tap on your Flex -> remove the tick from Background Syncing)

Awesome!
Working on my galaxy nexus running Paranoid Android 3.99 r2.
It still gives the message "there are known issues with bluetooth on your device" but syncs perfectly (and in fact just updated the firmware on my One) regardless.
Much more convenient than having to spoof the config files each time I want to connect!

    Damn - they completely changed Bluetooth support checking....
    However I spoofed it again :cool:
    PS It should be working on all other Bluetooth 4.0 with LE devices (not only Nexus 4)

    for everyone that wants to sync their nexus 4 just edit the build.prop so the app sees the phone as the s4 google edition..

    change the
    ro.product.model=GT-I9505G
    ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

    I've successfully patched application to masquerade Nexus 4 as GT-I9505G!! So now you can revert your original build.prop :cowboy:
    PS Tested on CM10.2 nightly

    Could you please patch the latest version, or else share the patch method?

    Thanks a lot!
    I've all developer tools installed at work - so please wait till Monday...

    Wow, works great, thanks!

    Are there any negative consequences that arise from editing the build prop to show up as a different device?
