    How have you been wearing it?

    You are tapping it to move from one screen to another?

    You have done an initial sync so the device has your stats in order to compute miles and calories from steps?

    Yes, these seem like obvious questions, but then again the number of people that actually read directions because they got it all figured out already is small.

    yes, it actually registered 1035 steps, then it stopped working. the whole of this morning it has counted zero even though i have been wearing it and walking

    Time for soft reset, battery out for 30 sec.

    Have you asked on Fitbit's forums, since it is their product after all, and more users there with experience, plus moderators?

    May need hard reset.
