    Hello @ruth.woods9,

     

    Thanks for posting. I’m sorry that you’re unable to set your Body up again. In order to help you, could you please tell me:

    1) If you’re on Android or iOS?

    2) If you want to install your Body in Wi-Fi or in Bluetooth ? 

    3) What error message Health Mate shows?

     

    Thank you in advance,

     

    Armelle, Withings Customer Service

    This is the same problem I am having.

    I have an iPhone.

    When I initially set it up I connected it to my wifi

    The error message says set up failed 4/4

    I will continue searching for an answer.  

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Tina

    I changed the batteries, now my screen says “hello” and won’t change. What do I need to do.

    I removed the device from my account and added it back. Seems to work now.

    Same problem here. I’ve changed the battery and now I can’t sync my scale using my iPhone and iPad. I tried many things.

    • forgot device (in Wi-Fi settings)
    • forgot device (in mobile app)
    • reset the scale to the factory setting
    • uninstall the app and install again

    Did anyone find the solution?

    I am having the exact same problem.  Had to swap the battery because they had died.  Now I can't get past setup.

    1. deleted scale from account. no change
    2. reset scale to factory, no change.
    3. no matter what I do, when the scale goes into setup, immediately as soon as the heath mate app fires up on the iphone, the scale goes into "setup failed" and I can't get anywhere.
    4. Old Ipad I had tried to do setup, but unfortunately its so old the app doesn't support it.

    Is anyone from withings looking at this issue?

    for anyone looking for the solution, you need to go into your phone and make it forget the bluetooth device.  Then the setup will run again

    I have the same problem and tried all the suggested methods, still didn't work. What's weird is that the battery level was always 1% even right after I changed (brand new batteries). Also I am quite disappointed that there is no customer service although you claim you have - there are many hoops I have to jump (e.g. login to my account, click on products and go to the forum et al) but ended up not seeing any phone numbers provided.

    Feedback for the product team: make sure your basic functions really work, if I replace the batteries I expect it to immediately turn on and can weight, how hard is that? why do I need to connect to my ios device?
