Neo and Fitness Trackers

[icthusman1]

Can anyone confirm if the Neo will support all these fitness trackers? I know they mostly want Bluetooth 4.0 which I don't believe the Neo has, but it would be nice to find out for sure if anyone has tested this. I also know it will require running the DP, which I am.

Don't know about the others, but I have a Fitbit Flex that works pretty good with the new Fitbit app. I do have to launch the app to sync, but I don't have to mess with the little USB sync that it comes with.

I've got the Neo on Sprint with DP, but not Update 1 (stuck with the same error as quite a few others).

​Great! At least I know something works with it!

So, I just got the Fitbit Charge yesterday. So far it works well with my Neo. I did try turning on the All Day Sync option in settings and that seems to have destroyed my phones battery life. Anyone else try this?

i don't think the neo has bluetooth LE that's probably what killed the battery

You are probably correct. Although, my battery seemed to be draining pretty quickly even after I turned it off. I think maybe having the Fitbit app open in the background was causing a battery drain. My test today is to always close the app after using it and see how my battery does.

​This is on a phone that I just reflashed on Monday back to stock GDR3 and then updated to 8.1 through the just released Sprint update.
