Posted at 2021-12-04 by PeerDavid I had the same: I uninstalled the GB app from my bangle and installed the android app instead :) Then it was totally fine. |

Posted at 2021-12-06 by nicoboss I ve just tried on my new received Bangle2 with Android/message apps instead of Gadgetbridge app, and it records steps, hr with values that look ok ! |

Posted at 2021-12-08 by Chasolla the values might tally now but they are far from accurate. if anybody knows how to improve matters it would be greatly appreciated. rtfm's and warnings about going off topic also most welcome especially if I just need pointing in the right direction. |

Posted at 2021-12-08 by HughB @chasolla - which bangle are you using, V1 or V2 ? Whats the version of the fimware you are using ? Since about Firmware 2.10.27 the step counter has been pretty stable. I would expect no more than 100 steps to be counted while you are sleeping. If you are using an older firmware then the step counter would count when you were sat on the sofa lifting your arm to operate the TV remote. |

Posted at 2021-12-09 by HughB 4000 steps in your sleep sounds way off. Unless the firmware has broken something. I have installed 2.10.241 and will let you know. I did a ton of work on the step counter to prevent mis counting off steps in your sleep. I woke up this morning with about 500 steps, but some of those were me doing a quick walk of the dog after midnight. |

Posted at 2021-12-09 by HughB Installed 2.10.241 and it seems to be working fine. I walked downstairs and around a bit and did about 140 steps. I am now showing 672 on the pedometer widget. Out of interest how are you displaying steps. I use the large digits setting for the widget. Can you send a Screenshot of what you are looking at. Connect through the ide and type |

Posted at 2021-12-10 by HughB @chasolla - 2.10.241 looks good to me. Less than 100 steps in my sleep. |

Posted at 2021-12-11 by Chasolla Thanks Hugh. I'll look into the web ide when I have time. I was on about 3000 steps this morning, my phone is currently on 387 and gadgetbridge on 959. My Bangles is currently on charge but shows 3710. I can post a photo of the screen if that will provide the info that you need to understand the problem. I've changed the pedometer widget to large text but I don't think that this should make any difference. |

Posted at 2021-12-11 by HughB Yes, take a picture with your phone of the pedometer widget. Better still do a video of it racking up when sat still. I can use the IDE on my phone. I run the chrome browser. It might also be useful to record a log of the accelerometer using the accellog app. But let's do one step at a time :) |

My Bangle 2 reports that I have done 6k~ steps but in the GB app it states that I have done more than 30million steps! Not sure why these values are so wildly different. Any ideas?
