How does the scale communicate with your phone? Bluetooth? WiFi? Do you have to leave Bluetooth on?

This scale is a joke, it says it will automatically sync to the app on your phone. NO IT WON'T! You have use your phones camera to snap a picture of a bar code it displays after you weigh yourself. It has be done in a well lit room or it won't work. I'm sending this junk back. Very misleading and an attempt to cheat the consumer.

it does not communicate with your phone. you must take a pic of the readout to download the info. very disappointing.

You don't have to leave your Bluetooth on or anything. Once you weigh, you simply scan the screen with your phone and it imports all the data.

you take a photo of the image with their APP, it is not bluetooth (I don't think it is wifi) but it works great, simple

It will work perfectly as a scale without the usb cable plugged in. It just won't communicate with anything except your eyes that read the scale display.

You have the option of programming the scale to turn off automatically or to stay on. I left the setting to shut off automatically; have not changed that; and have not had the scale turn off before I was ready for it to do so.

Yes! Definitely. Syncing with a smart phone is optional. The scale on it's own works exactly like a traditional scale would.

The scale shuts off a short period of time after you step off of it. I believe it also quits connecting to your device at the same time.

If you are not connecting to any other device you don't need to have Bluetooth on but if you are connecting to a printer or any other device you will need to have the Bluetooth on for that usage. Hope it helps!

One never weighs material on scale directly, one has to buy small wax paper or other weighing paper. As far as not staying on , it should stay on as long as you are weighing something. It will turn off once the scale isn't being used

Step on, read the number, step off. Write it down if you need to track it. Math is good. It's a nice scale, though. It would be nice if it sent email to your smartphone but it doesn't. :0

I would assume so, but can't say for sure as I haven't yet got my Charge. I believe the scale detects your tracker - whatever tracker you may have (zip, flex, etc... hopefully Charge) & then the scale uses your profile from your tracker & transmits your weight, etc... along with your profile, over your wifi network. My wife, my son both have trackers too & we'll all stand beside the scale & it will still correctly identify each person. I love the Aria scale for sure!!! Glad I made the investment. Now I've got to work on the Charge. :-)

Yes the scale beeps when it has finished weighing you and when it has your body fat percentage. I don't know if you can turn the sound off. I never tried. Hope this helps.

Yes, I use it as a basic scale without the app. The app is just an added feature that allows you to track your progress if you wish.

Sorry your question is a bit vague. The point of bluetooth is to control the device itself remotely through a tablet or phone, in which case the remote becomes redundant. However, if you are connected to the device through bluetooth, basic functions such as volume should work. hope this helps.

Nope no Bluetooth..I just read the other reviews and mine is..It streams netflix and youtube just great and plays the majority of the games on the Google play store and no issues with streaming music on slacker radio and spotify. I have no complaints.

The Aria scale connects directly to your wireless network, just like a wireless printer or any other device on your network. No special equipment is required. In this respect, it is different than other Fitbit devices, which only sync to the web using either Bluetooth 4.0 with select mobile devices, or the special Fitbit wireless dongle plugged into a computer's USB port.

In order for the calling/messaging/email to work, you have to be within I believe 35 feet of the phone. Otherwise, the pedometer, exercise tracker, music player, heart rate monitor all work without the phone. It connects through Bluetooth for the rest of it so I guess it depends on what you're wanting to do.
