It doesn't track heart rate half the time. Doesn't give me credit for exercise. I have synced it so many times, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times. Nothing works.

@DGrice Thanks for joining us!
Let me help you with this. I suggest you clean the back of your device with cotton and rubbing alcohol and restart it. Turn the heart rate off, save and sync then turn it on save and sync again. Also check these tips to improve the heart rate reading on your device.
Regarding the activity detection, your device detects activities based on the motion on your arm. The automatic detection is a feature called SmartTrack and it requires constant movement for at least 10 minutes to detect an activity. For example when using the elliptical machine make sure you have the moving bars so your device detects the motion and records the activity itself, once an Elliptical activity is saved on your account it should show on the Recent Exercise area. If your heart rate is high but there isn't much motion (yoga, weight lifting, etc.) then these activities will be difficult to be detected by your device. Still you can manually log your activity so you have a record on your account or use the activity mode on the device itself.
Hope this helps.

Same hermits not tracking sleep, or heart rat, I fact it's only recording steps.

I did 30 minutes of cardio, it didn't give me credit for it other than the active minutes. If I manually put it in what's the point of having the Fitbit?
