Move the charger to another power outlet and left it to charge overnight and after 10 hours it was stuck on 74% charged and wouldn’t move beyond this number. On my 2nd charge same message of slow charging… was displayed so I moved it to another power outlet but within 10-15 sec same message appeared. I really didn’t take a much notice of it. Just received my replacement Versa 3 on 13th of July and I noticed that it was displaying message of “slow charging….replace a source.” I ignored it and took over 4-5 hours to charge it the very 1st time. Interestingly, the issue persists even after the latest Versa 3 OS 5.2.1 update that was released on July 30 last month. According to a user, their Fitbit device cannot charge normally and is taking hours, randomly getting stuck at certain points. The latest update in the Fitbit saga is the Versa 3 slow charging issue.

Reports of Fitbit issues that popup on a daily basis are more than the number of issues a newspaper releases every day.Ī while ago, Fitbit released an update that caused many Versa 3 and Sense devices to brick, with users reporting that they cannot proceed past the logo or are stuck on a black screen. Barely a day passes without Fitbit users complaining of a new issue or a buggy update, causing some pretty serious issues to the point that some devices become unusable.įitbit might have to dish out a large sum of money to improve their software and replace existing bricked devices if the trend continues.
