Samsung Gear Fit: Screen Black, not connecting

Sat, 07 Nov 2015 11:50:06 -0700

I was at work with my fully charged gear fit when I noticed it was acting odd (showing the battery level every time I got a notification) shortly after it started that it went black and would not show anything, I tried rebooting it and when I hold the power button it simply vibraates then nothing happens.I've tried turing off blue tooth on my phone, made sure it wasn't still somehow connected, held the power button for 10 seconds then 20 seconds (all it did was vibrate like when you plug it in). HELP

Samsung Gear Fit: Brand new and won't turn on

Thu, 16 Mar 2017 04:28:59 -0700

I just bought a brand new Samsung Gear Fit 2 today from bestbuy. It has been charging for 3+ hours and I can't get it to turn on. When I put it on the charging dock all it does is show a lightning bolt for .1 second and then stays black. I've tried holding the home button to do a reset but I got nothing. Any suggestions?

Samsung Gear Fit: Why are notifications from secondary email acct, not primary?

Fri, 30 Dec 2016 15:14:45 -0700

I have a Gmail email account and a Yahoo email account. My Samsung Note 4 knows that my Gmail account is primary; it is defaulted that way on the device itself. So why are the notifications showing up on my Gear Fit only from my Yahoo email box?? I can't figure this out.

Samsung Gear Fit: I can't go to settings to turn bluetooth on for new devices

Wed, 15 Mar 2017 13:47:10 -0700

I have a gear fit from a friend and need to change settings so my phone, "a new device," can find it. I cant get to the home screen to do this, it just gives instructions "to connect your gear fit first download gear fit manager" etc. I know how to connect the two once I can get to settings but it won't go off this instruction screen. It has not frozen as I can go on to the next screen where it says "in gear fit manager select the device you want it to connect to." I have rebooted 3 times but whenever it turns on it is on this message.

Samsung Gear Fit: Why is my gear fit in german?

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 14:23:51 -0700

I recently bought it off someone. Everything was working fine. Once i reset it, everything changed to German. Gave it back to the person & she took it to have it fixed. Once I got it back, it did the exact same thing. The guy that fixed it at best buy used some kind of link on his phone. He's out for the day and now I'm stuck. Anyone know what to do or had this problem?
