Hi!

My Blaze has become totally useless when it comes to tracking my exercises.

The GPS connection does not work and my Fitbit keeps tracking the wrong distance (but correct time). 

Yesterday I tried tracking with Endomondo, and I got the correct time and distance. (almost 1 km difference). Why is this happening? I have now tried almost every soltion suggested, and the same thing keeps happening. A 8 km run is tracked as a 7 km run and so on.

My Blaze does the same.  It turns a 5 mile hike into a 2.8 mile hike. Not real happy about this.  I'll try adjusting how I wear it but I don't expect a lot of gain from that.  The amount it is off varies. today was the worst, cutting out 1/2 of my steps, AND cutting the distance.

I have tried to remove the device, and then adding it again. No luck. The GPS shows bad signals, but when I turn on Endomondo it's perfect. Seems like the device is struggling to connect with the phones GPS.
