I wear a Fitbit Versa 1 and am using a Samsung Galaxy s24 5G phone. After switching to this phone last year, I was not able to get my Versa 1 to track my sleep instead of my phone. It determines my sleep time from light and ambient noise instead.
The only feature I really am concerned about is the Sleep phase alarm, which I have used for many years to help me wake up at a time when I won’t feel groggy all morning. I have the Sleep as Android app on my phone and my watch, but despite having it connected I can’t seem to get the watch to track my sleep and wake me up at any other time than exactly when my alarm goes off.
Hi @Emily_B, does the wearable connect and later loses the connection, or it does not connect at all?
If you start the tracking on the phone manually, and then open the app on the watch - does it connect?
Hello, and thanks for your response.
It does connect to the watch via the app, yes. That isn’t the issue but I didn’t explain it clearly enough. The app and my watch are definitely connected, they just aren’t doing the right things together. I’ve edited the settings a bit to try something new tonight, but if you have any advice on how to fix or what to look out for in what I explain better below, I’d appreciate it.
I used to be able to use the Fitbit tracking passively through this app. The fitbit app would collect the data and Sleep for Android only told it the ideal time to wake me up with the sleep phase detector, and I didn’t need to open either app unless I wanted to see my sleep graph.
Since I switched phones, however, I can’t get the sleep phase wake up function to work like this, and instead of using the silent alarm on my watch, it makes a loud noise on my phone and wakes my partner up too. Fitbit is detecting my sleep, and S4A prompts me to confirm my sleep time in the morning. I know thwre is some combination of settings to make it work like I’m describing, but I had it set up so many years ago that I can’t remember what they were.
Hopefully this is a better explanation.
Hi, does the graph in the morning have the “#watch” tag?
Are there data till the end of the tracking (no red sections)?
If the wearable is connected with Sleep, and used for sleep tracking, the alarm should go off on the watch too. Do you have configured a delay for the watch alarm?
