Hi,
I installed update 71.6.19 few weeks back, since then observing multiple issues with my Ionic.
1. Battery draining:
After full charge (100%):
a. Battery drains in a day if I wear fitbit for more than 10 hrs.
b. Battery drains in 4-5 hrs if using GPS (running, cycling)
c. Battery drains in around 36 hrs if fitbit isn't used at all.
Before upgrade the battery would last 3-4 days with wearing it more than 12 hrs everyday.
2. Steps tracking:
Earlier while using treadmill , the distance covered would be different by max 0.25 miles. Means , if I did 5k (3.1miles) walk exercise on treadmill, fitbit used to show around 2.9 miles distance covered. But now it shows hardly 1.5 to 2 miles. I tried different treadmills, the result is same. It doesn't match with steps counted in phone app.
3. Inconsistent heart rate tracking:
Comparing with treadmill and . Before update, the usual difference of heartbeat rates as shown on treadmill and fitbit used to be differ by 2-3 beats.
Means if treadmill is showing 126 bpm fitbit would be close to it 123 or 124 bpm
If Treadmill is shows 154 bpm fitbit would show 150+ but less than 154.
If Treadmill is shows 171 bpm fitbit would show 169 or 170.
But after upgrade it is all mess, when treadmill shows 150bpm, and fitbit shows 98bpm.
Adding insult to injury, that 98bpm is labeled as 'below zone', while I am actually sweating.
Also couple of times, I noticed fitbit showed my heartrate to cardio zone, when I was not even wearing it.
I can confirm my firbit is upgraded to 71.6.19.
I had restarted it after upgrade.
Any help regarding the solution will be great. My fitbit is almost two years old.

The only silver lining is the heart rate matches when using elliptical machine.
