Please help. I don't know exactly what is happening ... Seeming it's something to do with difference between cal & kcal & I am getting thousands of calories back a day & don't know how to fix

I use Huawei band & P20 Pro

    I'm not familiar with it but have you googled the product and looked at the users manual and FAQs? Might be a place to start.

    Yeah it's something to do with the data being sent ... A difference between kcal & cal ..

    I can finish a day & it says I have 80,000 calories remaining

    As recently as July no fix apparently in. I don't know how UA prioritize how they work on integration but I wouldn't hold your breath.

    I looked it up and see it's a fitness band, I would contact the manufacter for the band and see if they have a tech/repair department for the band. Or better yet google or youtube has losts of help for different products, hope this helps.

    Thanks for this , yeah don't see it getting fixed anytime soon.. makes tracking in mfp difficult .. I'm not convinced my phone counts the steps correctly anyway even if it did work though

    The Honor band records 15000 steps which it calculates as 655kcal. It passes this to MFP as calories i.e. 654,392 calories. MFP needs to divide it by 1000. I get annoid with all of the "not getting fixed anytime soon" nonsense - it is a very very very simple fix. The only reason it would be difficult is if all the other synced apps send the calorie data incorrectly i.e. 655 - and that is incorrect as it is kcal and MFP do not want to write a special handler in the driver software. Please fix it!
