If your Fitbit Versa 4 doesn't buzz when you enable auto-start for exercises, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
1. Check Notification Settings: Ensure that notifications are enabled on your Fitbit Versa 4. Sometimes, notifications might be turned off or set to silent mode, which could prevent the device from buzzing. Check the Fitbit app or your device settings to confirm that notifications are active.
2. Restart Your Device: A simple restart can often resolve minor issues. To restart your Fitbit Versa 4, press and hold the side button until you feel a vibration and see the Fitbit logo appear. Release the button and let the device boot up[3].
3. Disable and Re-enable Auto-Detect: If auto-detect is causing unwanted buzzing, try disabling it for the specific exercise (e.g., running) and then re-enable it to see if this resolves the issue. Some users have reported that auto-detect can sometimes trigger unwanted vibrations[5].
4. Check for Software Updates: Ensure your Fitbit Versa 4 is running the latest software. Sometimes, updates can fix bugs that might be causing issues with notifications or vibrations. Open the Fitbit app, go to the device settings, and check for any available updates.
5. Reset Your Device: If the problem persists, you might need to perform a factory reset. This will erase all data on your device, so make sure to back up any important information first. To reset, go to the Fitbit app, select your device, and follow the instructions for a factory reset.
6. Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be worth contacting Fitbit support for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance or repair/replace your device if it's faulty.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and potentially fix the issue with your Fitbit Versa 4 not buzzing during auto-start.
