Hi gang, i came to you back in 2017 about setting up my Fitbit charge 2. i bookmarked the thread, but i think it was purged.
i just want to use it to count my steps for now, maybe track sleep. i don't want it to sync 24/7. maybe if i am home and i want it to sync there using my home router, but i don't want it syncing or tracking my whereabouts when i am away from home.
this was a gift from my DH. i tried setting it up on my own on a different laptop, and i immediately got turned off because it was trying to get me to create accounts with something i can't remember. i got turned off and it just sat in its box.
this is not my first false start with fitbit. i had gotten a fitbit ultra and after several replacements, i was unable to get it to connect with my laptop. i gave up. fitbit let me keep all of the ones that didn't work. it sat in a box for about a year, and then i gave both away via VF Share the Wealth.
*had i known DH was thinking of getting me a fitbit, i would have refused. but i decided to keep it to be a good sport.
so fast forward today - i want to charge it up, connect it with my laptop, and just use it to count steps. can anyone offer any advice? thanks in advance.
