Fitbit auto-adds a workout even when I start one manually, so it doubles my activity

[eenatali]

When I do my elliptical workout in the mornings, I manually start a "treadmill" workout on my fitbit. After I am done and stop the workout tracking, my fitbit also auto-adds a "run" workout for the same period of time, doubling my steps and activity.

I don't want to turn off auto-detect, because I like it to capture all of my walks during the day, but shouldn't it not auto-track a separate workout if I start it manually? How do I make this stop so I don't have to delete that extra workout every morning? Thank you!

I have a similar problem. I too use an elliptical. I manually start an elliptical exercise, but what it logs is elliptical auto, which means it doesn't actually record the number of steps I have taken with the old Fitbit app. With the old app, when I manually started an elliptical workout it would record the number of steps etc. and give me a summation of all of this information at the end of my workout.

The elliptical workouts below were all manually started, none of them were auto-detected.
