Inspire 3 won't stop auto recognising activities

[Frnkls83]

I want it to stop auto recognising walks, but Ive turned off auto recognising of all activities in settings, and synced , and this doesn't solve the issue. It still auto recognises every walk I take. Using Android.

Same issue here. I turned off all activities but it still goes into automatic exercise tracking mode. I don't want this because it prevents me from checking the time. I can't see the time while the exercise counter is running. This is very annoying.

Hi @Frnkls83 and @vladimirnz.  Your Inspire 3 has two automatic ways to track certain workouts.  I will describe them using Fitbit terms.

• Auto-recognition.  This is the feature that tracks certain workouts and runs completely in the background.  It recognizes walk, run, elliptical, sports, aerobic workout, outdoor bike, and swimming.  You control the settings in the Fitbit app.
• Auto-detection.  This feature turns on the Exercise app on your Inspire 3.  It is on by default in six shortcuts.  They are walk, run, bike, elliptical, rowing, and spinning.  You control these on your Inspire 3.

Both of you are describing the auto-detection, a feature that got added in the most recent firmware update.  To turn this off, please open the Exercise app on your Inspire 3 screen.  Choose the walk shortcut.  Swipe up on the "^" at the bottom of the screen.  Look for Auto-start and toggle it off.  Like I wrote, this feature in on by default in other shortcuts.  You might need to turn this setting off in other shortcuts, too.
