erj_pilotFitbit question...vibrating feature
I got a new Fitbit Charge 2 in the mail this weekend. I really like it, except for the feature that vibrates when you get a text message or incoming call. So to paraphrase Stanley Goodspeed, how in the name of Zeus' BUTTHOLE do you turn that damned feature off?? It is VERY annoying and as I carry my phone around with me, I don't need my Fitbit to buzz when I get a text or phone call. TIA!!!

BeancookerReading through the Fitbit forums, it appears there is no way to turn off the vibrations. There is a workaround for the activity vibrations, and you can disable the call features. But if you want to keep the call features, you’re stuck with vibrations.

erj_pilotDrat. Thanks for looking into that, Bean. You would think Fitbit would listen to their customer base and put in options to disable this. But I guess Fitbit didn't ask me...
Thanks again!

DougEIf you don't need your fitbit to notify you when you get a call or text, you can turn those notifications off in the app settings.

erj_pilotThanks Doug. Finally got the update and the new version does have that feature. The OEM version when first installed didn't...that's why I was kinda surprised.

mark123You can also turn off notifications by holding the button until it says "notifications off".
