How to calibrate Fitbit Ionic?

[Hesooo]

Hey Pals,

is there a way to re calibrate the Ionic?

I was in my car when it said to lay it on a flat surface, but i was not able to in the car...

Same issue here. While I love the Ionic, it undercounts the steps. My One is much more accurate.

How or when about  if in fact fitbit will ever think about doing an xl wrist band.

I think sfringers tip is a possible solution for all guys who have this calibrating problem every day. 

But listen Fitbit, it is for sure not much work to integrate an "calibration" option under settings.

My ftibit does not seem to be counting my steps accurately. A friend and I walk together, same stride and she has more steps then I do.  I would like to calibrate it my fitbit Iconic, but I don't know how to make it calibrate.  I have had it tell me to calibrate before, but how do I  initialize it.   Thanks!

Same Question than Sunset, if i Miss calibration how i trigger when im able.

Having problems calibrating my Iconic. Have tried since Christmas and even rest it to factory settings and let it run for a hour to upgrade everything. Anyone know how to resolve this?

I plug my ionic in but so t calibrate

Help me with this. I got mine yesterday. But it has never detected my hr. It always fails to do the calibration. It does not matter if is facing down side or in the air. It fails. Always

Hey , I just permited calibration was resquesting again, and i left alone
on the table and happens perfectly, maybe if you reset can solve.

Good Luck

If I was away and not able to calibrate when watch asked me to do so, how can I initiate it to do it now that I'm able to plug it in. 

Thanks

It will eventually prompt you to do so I'd imagine.

[SunsetRunner]

I agree with Sunsetrunner. 

while I get the pop up to calibrate or to “snooze” it for later. It would be great to calibrate it manually by either putting the option in the settings or leave it as a message. (Scroll down and reclaim the once snoozed action)

Hi there. 

There is a way to force calibrate your ionic. This is only if you really onte to calibrate your ionic. 

You either wait for an update to occur or reset your fitbit. 

Remember this is only if you know you really need to calibrate your ionic. 

Enjoy!

Is there a way to recalibrate the Fitbit? I recalibrated mine a few weeks ago and it has been on average a tenth of a mile off on my runs. 

[Slavs06]

The GPS seems inaccurate is there a way to calibrate?

Is there a way to calibrate my Ionic fitbit manually?

[Tinychef]

I did this and it vibrated but just keeps asking me to calibrate over and over again.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @Tinychef.

Thank you for joining the thread and sharing the details of the issue you're experiencing. I would like to confirm if you've tried the following:

1. Restart the device: How do I restart my Fitbit device?
2. Plug Ionic into the charger and leave it there for a few minutes on a flat surface and face on its side.
3. Check if your watch is updated to the latest version: How do I update my Fitbit device?

Hope this helps.
