adding to the list

Couldn't get my fitbit to sync to the app this morning, tried all the usual things:

*just refresh it a bunch more times to see if the problem will fix itself
*quit the app and try again
*update the app
*turn the phone all the way off and then on again

None of these worked, though I did manage to identify that the likely problem was my fitbit itself failing to bluetooth. (Holding the fitbit next to the phone and saying 'see, it's right here!' did not help.)

Consulted the internet and decided the easiest / least likely to delete my unsynced data option to try next was 'restarting' the fitbit. This mystical process seems to be different for each style of fitbit, but this one involved plugging it into the charger and holding both sides of it for ten seconds. (HOW do they come up with these things???)

Anyway, got the beep and the fitbit logo (not a smiley face as promised, very disappointing), and SURPRISE suddenly bluetooth COULD find my fitbit and connect, A MIRACLE OF TECHNOLOGY!

All fixed now, I guess, and now 'restart fitbit' can be added to the list of usual things to try!
