Daily Goals in Dashboard Charge 5

[HuyLuu]

The daily mileage on dashboard keeps reset to 8.05 after I changed it to 5. I have 5 mile as my goal in the app.

How can i change it on the dashboard.

Hello @HuyLuu 

Out of curiosity, how did you change your goal to 5 miles? If you did this through the Fitbit settings in the app, that should have worked to change your daily goal.

Just brainstorming here. See if doing a force stop & clearing the cache for the Fitbit app on your phone works to keep your corrected mileage goal in place.

Hi RiekoC, thank you for your response. yes i changed the daily goal in the app thru Setting - Activity - Daily Activity. 

How do i do a "force stop" and "clearing the cache"?

Appreciate your help.

Hi @HuyLuu 

I'm an Android user so I can provide directions for that platform. If you're an iOS user, you'll probably have to do a search for the directions.

For Android:

• Open the Settings menu for your phone
• Tap on Apps
• Find the Fitbit app and tap on it
• Tap on Force Stop and confirm
• Tap on Storage & cache to open the page
• Tap on Clear cache
• Exit the Settings menu
• Open the Fitbit app

Hopefully, this works. If it doesn't, let me know. I will ask around and see if someone else has a suggestion.

Hi RiekoC, I cleared everything, disconnected & re-connected Bluetoothed, unpaired & re-paired the tracker. The 5-Mile/day on the Fitbit app is still there, but the dashboard still keeps resetting to 8.05 miles.

Thank you for your help!

Hi @HuyLuu 

Well that's disappointing to see that the app is still not updating with your change.

I'm going to ask around and see if someone can offer another possible solution.

5 miles is 8.05 km, so I think the problem is not with the value but with the units. Ensure that you've selected imperial/US units in the Fitbit app and web site.

Hi Rieko and Peter,

Thank you for your outreach. In the App Setting, there are two choices for "Length". I picked Feet,Miles over the Kilometers. 

[HuyLuu]

on the Website, the setting is Feet/Inches.

Hi Rieko and Peter,

I entered 3.11 miles in the App as my daily goal. And it showed 5 miles on the website.
