Edit steps?

[Hmaklyon]

Hi, my battery died. I have 2 questions related to this. 1) it took me a couple days to get a new battery. Is there a way I can manually edit my steps for those days? 2) I've read the posts regarding the battery touching the side metal piece. Is there an insert that's supposed to help? Ever since I replaced the battery my Zip occasionally stops working and I need to readjust the battery (I've used paper to help push it toward the metal sensor on the side but that seems awfully inefficient!). Thanks very much!

To add steps. go to the activity page and on the Bottom left hand side use the walking Icon to add steps.

Just remember that manually added steps do not go towards badges.

This youtube Video should help with the battery

Thanks Wendy! Just don't see an activity page on my app. No walking icon that I can find on the app either. Do I need to do this on a PC or am I missing something?
