Flex not counting steps

I have no idea why this is suddenly happening, but my Fitbit has decided to stop counting steps. That's despite it being charged (though the charge is low)

 

I would have done at least 20,000 steps today and it's counted none. I'm charging it at the moment, and it seems to be taking a charge, which is a postitive, but before I plugged it into the charger, it appeared to be dead. Not a single light lit up. When I plugged it in to charge, it had one light lit up, so clearly it wasn't completely dead.


Why would it not be counting steps?? I'm tempted to forget using it and just buy a One (which I prefer, because I'm not a fan of the wristband anymore)

It sounds like your little buddy has a battery issue  @AliBy

 

When out of the tracker and double tapping, does it show any lights?

 

Feel free restarting the tracker:

 

Restart the tracker

@Happle90 welcome to the forums! Hey, this sounds a little weird and sounds like you've exhausted all troubleshooting possible. I recommend contacting our Support Team for additional info. They definitely have the proper tools to take a deeper look into your tracker's behavior. When you do, make sure you mention to them the steps you've followed to fix this issue. 

 

Good luck and keep me posted! Cat Very Happy
