Is anyone else having weird fitbit scyncing issues today? My steps and distance have transferred over, but the active minutes appear to be lagging behind. When I first finished my run, it showed 1 active minute. Then it later gave me 12 active minutes during the time when I was in the car driving home. Anyone else? I guess I can add in the active minutes manually if this keeps up, but given that it doesn't appear to recognize the time these steps occurred, I'm afraid that will double dip when I don't want it to.

    I had some weird lag issues, too. I went into settings and affirmed my time zone, saved it, and everything seems to have corrected itself. Try that first, I wouldn't manually add stuff, as you said, because of double counting.

    Well this may be the problem: fitbit only offers GMT-4 as Eastern time (I am on the east coast). It doesn't offer GMT-5, which is what we are in right now. Hmmm. Should I change to central time just to get GMT-5?

    This is an old thread, but I'm having the same issues right now! What was the outcome for you?

    I had the same problem. It started Friday and ended on Monday.

    I raised a MFP support ticket.

    I did a reset on my fitbit and it resumed syncing correctly after that.
