I have a Flex.
I saw another post from someone who said she didn't get active minutes for the time she was using the GPS yesterday. I was also using the GPS and didn't get active minutes for my 4 mile walk yesterday, which was about an hour and 24 minutes. I deleted the tracked exercise, and the steps changed from moderate to intense, and I got active minutes for the walk. My step total for the day dropped by 1300 as well, which was strange. But, I was so glad to get those active minutes that I didn't even care!
When you use the GPS function, the workout created from it is loaded in as if manually entered.
Manually entered workouts (or synced from other sites) don't always get the active or very active minute classification, the calorie burn must be high enough, rather than a combo of pace and calorie burn setting that.
The distance is trusted, and is divided by your stat for stride length and that calculates your steps you are given.
Exactly as if you manually entered it, which is what happens too.
Calories is based on the whole time span, and therefore if the whole average didn't meet the requirements for active or very active minutes, you don't get any.
But lose that in essence manual workout when you deleted it, and the Fitbit seen stats come back in to play.
So steps seen, distance estimate based on your stride length setting (which must be off BTW), and calorie burn per minute determines if that minute is given active or very active minutes.
