Fitbit Update 04/24/2017: Hi everyone -- Our Android team appreciates everyone's feedback in this thread and are working to fully implement the new Android Dashboard in the upcoming 2.48 release.
I am closing this thread as all feedback has been captured and reviewed by our team. Thanks again for all of your constructive feedback as we continue to improve Fitbit products and services.
Fitbit Update 10/04/2016: Hello Android Community! Some of you may have took notice that your Fitbit app has updated and you now have the option to view the new Android Dashboard (see screenshot below).
The new Dashboard design for Android is currently only available to our external closed beta group. We currently have the beta group closed, but some of you old school Fitbit beta users, were able to get in before we closed the group to the public.
For those of you in the beta, feel free to share your feedback so I can pass it along. I will have a more concrete timeline of official release to share with everyone when I get a confirmed date. We're taking our time to make sure the features are all working up-to-par. Thank you in advance for the feedback!

Technology is in constant change. As new users get devices and start using the app, they will default to the new dashboard and will see no reason to move from it. Most smartphone & tablet apps are graphical icon based, and not text based. As a computer systems developer since the 60's, I have seen lots of changes to the human interfaces and almost all of them have been met with some people loving it and some people hating it. But, change they have, and change they will.

I have no problem with change until it renders a gadget useless to me. Design and appearance are bound to change, not a problem.
Lose or complicate features which many customers value (and ask for feedback then ignore it) and you can expect some dissent.

Interesting question, @Kjærlighet2017, since the Dashboard has nothing to do with logging exercises - that is done in the tracker itself. The Dashboard simply displays the data which has been uploaded to the Fitbit server. By "not logging" exercise, are you referring to exercises being automatically recorded via the charger SmartTrack, or manually tracked exercises via the Exercise Mode?

@Kjærlighet2017 Which tracker do you have? The restart proceedure is a bit different for each.

Oh, great. How do I reboot the fitbit, please.
How you reboot depends on the fitbit you have. They are all different.

Put device in the charger. On the bottom of the charger you will notice a small hole. Take the end of a paperclip & put into the hole & hold for 3-5 seconds. Then let recharge. That should do it.

I am able to use new dashboard, however, my minutes of activity is not being recorded unless I manually input. Once inputted, it adds steps to my current number. I went in and added my activity with calories burned and it took away steps.

Using new dashboard on Android 2.44 latest version. The stats stays the same when I swipe from day to day. I want to compare calories , water etc and have to go into each day to see the stats. Would like the dashboard to reflect the daily counts.
