Ok so I purchased the fitbit flex 4 days ago & I really like it however I feel it is too sensitive. It was in sleep mode yesterday & I didn't even know it. I have also noticed when I am doing things around the house etc., I will look at it and the dots are flashing I am assuming because I bumped it. I am also noticing that the steps it is to count are more like movement of that arm it is on and not actually steps that you take from walking. I have it on my non dominant (left hand) but have it set on the app as dominant. Is that how it should be? Anyone else feel as I do about this little device?

    I have a VivoSmart. I feel it doesn't accurately count my steps either. While I am walking, the VivoSmart will signal me to move. Have you been able to fix yours issue?
