Buttons/Contacts/Slide Bar = Why?

[_FitBob_]

I can't get the bars on the side of the Charge 5 to do anything.

Swipe Up/Down = No result. 

Tap Left/Right/Both = No result.

Squeeze Both = No result.

Double Tap Left/Right/Both = No result.

Long Press Left/Right/Both = No result.

I would expect something like:

Right Tap = Forward swipe.

Left Tap = Back swipe.

Both Tap = Display On

Both Long Press = Go to home screen.

Is there a way to customize the contacts to make them useful?

This all seems too obvious, what am I missing?

These are for the EDA sensor. All navigation is done use swipes and taps on the touch screen.

I would also like to see a 'both tap = on/off display' option. The double tap to turn the screen on and no manual way to turn it off is really bugging me.

@cdnchemgeek from the manual:

"To turn off your tracker's screen when not in use, briefly cover the tracker face with
your opposite hand or turn your wrist away from your body"

Wow, a manual.  They should ship this with the product!  That would save a lot of guess work.

That's too bad.  A waste of good hardware.

I don't see much use for the EDA app.  It would be nice if other apps could use the hardware too.

For example: The Notifications app could use the slider to scroll message text.  This would enable continuous scrolling and reading without having to cover the display and message text with a finger.
