my steps in the work week challenge are not registering correctly. It seems to be caught by 2/3rds. The single day challenges reflect the same number of steps as the dashboard. This is getting frustrating as I look my of a loser than in just weight 😭 help!

Anytime sweetie @Wedwo ! By any chance you are using your Fitbit App to track activities or just your Fitbit tracker?

Gotcha @Wedwo! Typically, your steps will be recalculated if you manually log an activity as the manually logged activity takes precedence over the steps you tracked while wearing your tracker at that point in time. For example, if I am wearing my Flex and walking and I reach 10,000 steps, then I go to the computer and manually log an activity that starts and ends at that point in time for say 1 hour, Fitbit will calculate how many steps you took and it may bring my step count to something below 10,000 steps. To clarify, activities should only be manually logged when you forget to wear your Flex.
Hope this clarifies a bit better !

Welcome to the forums @Herutje @rumbledolly! I'll be glad to provide some information about challenges.
Challenges can be affected by the timezone of the members who are in it as well as any logged activities on your account, this includes MobileRun, manual logs and third party logging.
In this case, it's best to use your tracked steps (without mobile run or manual log) while stepping. Using any kind of manual logging when running or walking will not count towards your challenges.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions

Why don't manually logged steps count in challenges? My battery had died so I used my apple health app instead for my walk.

Hello @jody01! Welcome to the forums
At this time, only steps from your tracker count towards challenges. This is because it's best to get all the steps tracked from the same source and under the same terms; to keep the challenges as fair as possible.
Let me know if you have any questions, happy stepping!

I have tried everything, and it is still not syncing. it sync to about 1/3 of the entire sync and then stops. also the app indicate that the battery is completely empty which it is not as i charged it over night. please help this is very annoying. I see today's steps and then the step from previous days are zero again. --

If I wear my flex on my walk and then log in the distance does the dashboard add more steps to my total? Is that why my dashboard has more step than the challenge board? How can I stop that from happening?

So I can't track my exercise and wear my tracker at the same time? Correct?

Hello!
I too am having issues with my dashboard synching my steps with the challenges.
1. Yes, shows connected.
2. I am not manually logging steps.
3. I am not using the Mobile Run feature.
4. I am not in a different time zone.
5. Battery is full.
Please help!

Thank You!
It still doesn't show my challenge as updated (51 min). So i'll give it more time.
I have also tried the following:
1. Restarting my Phone
2. Deleting then Reinstalling my App
3. Quitting the Challenge and then Rejoining
4. Turning off, wait, turn back on Bluetooth and WiFi
I'll try to see if I can access through the computer as well. I haven't tried that before.
