Distance appears as 0 after sync

ANSWERED

Hello, wondering if you can help. My charge 5 stopped tracking kms. It records step counts but kms do not appear. Anything I should do to have this back to normal? Thanks, Sara

Just to add a detail to this - I switched to manual stride length then back to automatic (following instructions from higher in this thread). Switching over, syncing and switching back didn't fix the problem until I switched to manual stride length, took some steps until distance was logged, and - then-  switched back to automatic. At that point, the distance logging continued. Initially, there was a blank in the space for walking stride length in the app. This was on a Charge 5.

I hope that little detail helps.

Sorry for promoting false hope. Mine has also reverted to fail. Hey fitbit,
maybe you guys could rewind whatever software update broke this and fix the
problem.

You ‘solution’ dies not fix the problem. Please give us a timeframe so we know when to expect a solution. It has been going on for weeks now without a solution in the near future. And please do not delete my post this time.

The same problem here for 6 days.......I looked at step length setting that has been on automatic and when you change to manual = length is zero1.pngPreviously had no problems with this.

Best Answer

Mine is still like this. I have left on the “manual” setting as it doesn’t seem to pick up my walking stride, but picks up my running stride both manually and automatically. 
Really hope this issue gets resolved soon.

It works when I set the running stride length to walking......i do a small test where i change automatic value and go for a short walk (gps=on)

No effect with a short walk....0 cm walking stride length

 

So automatic walking exercise with gps on doesn't do what it should

I also had this issue start a few days ago after updating my sense 2. If I track an activity with GPS it seems somewhat better. But otherwise no distance is tracked, but steps and flights are. Hoping they will fix this soon.

welcome to this sad team... We wait for fixing this problem for 1  month already.... 

Best Answer

That isn't a "fix" it's a workaround. The problem needs to be fixed by the Fitbit team. Do we have an update on a proper resolution?
