EDA Scan isn't working on my Charge 5

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

So my charge 5 reads my steps, calories and distance. But says not connected to phone with EDA scan.  And checking my ECG, it gets down to like 22 seconds left and goes nuts!!!  I've restarted. Rebooted. Even set up another profile, but to no avail!!

Try moistening your fingertips before taking a reading, if your fingers are too dry, the sensor can't get a good reading.

Unfortunately no... But the heart rate works for about a few minutes then
goes back off again.
