[Q] Fitbit Flex sync with xperia z

[pntba]

Hello


Does anyone in here has both the xperia z and the fitbit flex , if yes then does your band gets synced to your phone without any trouble ? or does it get sync at all ?


I am opening a seperate thread for this as on their support website they say only samsung and iphone devices but they also do say that it supports BT4 .

since xperia z also does have BT4 i was wondering if it does sync at all.

any help will be appreciated .

thanks in advance.

I have a FitBit Flex. You can 'see' the Flex from the Xperia Z, but it can't pair nor sync. Hopefully 4.3 will bring us closer, but I think there would need to be an update to FitBit as well.

I've tested the pabx 4.3 AOSP build but this doesn't even 'see' the Flex, so I don't think that is a solution either.

I believe 4.3 brings the Bluetooth Low Energy code that FitBit use. Fingers crossed.

Hi All, I've updated yesterday my Xperia Z with the last official Android 4.3 ROM from Sony.
I still see the FitBit Flex... but still can't synchronize it, sadly. .

UPDATE: After looking at the FitBit Site, there is a "Beta" Version of the application, see at the end of this page: https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/987861-android-device-compatibility"]https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/987861-android-device-compatibility (sorry, I'm not allowed to post external link )
I've installed it and it seems that the application is now able to communicate with the Flex. I'll make more test tomorrow, outside of my home to be really sure .

I have a rooted Xperia Z running 4.3 with active Xposed Framework and the installled Flexbit sync module. The Flexbit can be seen and will sync in bluetooth settings, and on the latest app too. (Though you should turn off the auto sync in the Flexbit app setttings which is an awful battery drain, apparently). Without 4.3 PLUS root and theactivated Xposed Framework with the special Xposed module, sync wouldn't work as this "workaround" was required. I'm sure there is a thread on XDA for the module. NB even if rooted there is only one version of Xposed Framework that works with Xperia Z, 2.4.1. I believe. :
EDIT: this was the position before the beta app which I haven't tried, and which hopefully works with unrooted (normal stock) phones. See the post above.

I have the Flexbit Charge and since buying it have now found out that the android lollipop means the device won't connect via bluetooth no longer due to the update
