Sense step counter is too sensitive

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My Sense is counting thousands of steps while driving.  It's ridiculous.   I logged over 10000 steps driving 4 hours.  I noticed the same thing when I was typing.  I had an additional 5000+ steps.  This is very frustrating.  My charge never did this, at least so much that it was noticeable.  Is there a way to turn down the sensitivity?

Hi @Jive_Turkey.

 

The only setting users have got available to them is the "handedness" setting. You could try changing the setting to dominant, which should make it a bit less sensitive. Another option would be to go into the Fitbit app - Exercise tile - tap the stop watch icon in the top right corner - tap on the log previous tab - in the exercise type box, type driving - set the start time of when you were driving and the duration. This should remove all the steps from that period.
