Manually Correcting Bad Data

[D2Usher]

Am I the only person that thinks it's stupid that my fitbit charge won't let me logg in and correct wrong information. It's not like they can't, it's that they won't.
It's my results. Why can't I correct that I forgot to log a drink last night or add stairs that did not get accounted.

Hi @D2Usher

Moved this thread from the Charge to the Android section since more relevant to the topic & increases the chance of getting a solution.

Thanks. Just don't understand why I am not allowed to manage my information/data.

Hi @D2Usher let me give you a warm welcome to the Community!  I would like to help you out, but I want to know which data is the one you can't change? 

Let me know!

I'm new to this app and accidentally entered water for today not drunk; I was testing the functionality. 

I also think my steps were too high yesteday,  but that was my first day and it could have been "operator error. ". I''m trying another approach today.

Hi @Gij4HisGlory, welcome to the Community! 😉 If you feel that your steps are too high, maybe you are using your Fitbit on your dominant hand, when we normally suggest you to use it on your non dominant hand so it won't record false steps just by moving your arms. Fitbit trackers have a finely tuned algorithm for step counting. The algorithm is designed to look for intensity and motion patterns that are most indicative of people walking and running.  When working at a desk, cooking, or doing other arm movements, a tracker on your wrist can pick up some extra steps if it thinks you're walking. Many of these situations—such as working or cooking—do include a few steps in-between stationary periods so the tracker tries to give you credit for those steps. For the vast majority of customers, the amount of stray steps accumulated is negligible when compared to the entire day.

Give a try for a few days and let me know how it goes!

Thanks,  but I'm not wearing any gear.   I'm trying to use the Fit Bit App (Android) to track my steps,  calories burned & water intake.   But if I can't edit an error,  I should probably stick with tracking food & water on S Health and maybe tracking steps on Google Fit.  I really need simple and straighforward.  Thanks
