Health app not counting calories - "No Data"

Recently purchased an iPhone 6 and have updated to iOS 8.2. The Health app is counting steps and walking & running distance, but Active Calories and Resting Calories display "No Data". I have entered my weight, height, age and sex. Am I missing something here? Is the Health app not supposed to automatically calculate and record calories burned?

As far as I know, automatic step tracking is only available for iPhone 5S or higher due to M7/M8 motion co-processor.
Edit: Confirmed by an article on 9to5mac.
''Users will find that the M7 is able to pre-populate the Health app with a full week of data.
Adding on-device tracking support to the Health app is a significant addition from Apple as iPhone 5s (and future iPhone) customers will no longer even need to integrate any App Store apps or hardware devices to begin using the software.'

  • Health app not showing heart rate data?

    The built-in Health app is not showing data from my heart rate monitor (HRM).
    I'm using a bluetooth 4.0 HRM (Wahoo Blue HR) on my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.3) The HRM shows as "Connected" in my Bluetooth settings and shows my heart rate within the Digifit and Wahoo Utility apps, so I know the HRM is working correctly. I've enabled Heart Rate Read/Write data for the Digifit and Nike+ Running apps within the Health app.
    The heart rate data never shows up in the Health app's Dashboard (or anywhere else in the Health app). Since it doesn't show up in the Dashboard, the data doesn't flow over to the Nike+ Running app, so my heart rate is blank there too. The Digifit app is set to write the heart rate data in the Health app, but that is not happening.
    How can I get the Health app to receive my HRM data?

    I take it you have already gone into the Health app and set up your Medical ID card, correct?
    The Medical ID card will show up on the Lock Screen password entry screen when Emergency option on the bottom left-hand side of the screen is clicked.
    It does not show up anywhere if you do not have a passcode lock on the screen.

  • HT203037 Health app not retaining Add Steps data

    I'm looking forward to using the Apple Watch to track my activity when I get it.  In the meantime, I've been manually entering my step activity in the Health app manually.  Unfortunately, more often than not, even if it seems to initially accept the Add Data entry, after a few hours it usually stops including the manual entry in the total displayed for the day, even though pouring back through the data shows the manual entry is still there.
    I've tried deleting the manual entry and re-entering it with a different time to see if that matters, but it generally doesn't help.  It's unreliable enough for me to forego manually adding data entries for my elliptical step data, for now.  Unless someone can explain/sleuth out the logic necessary for the data to be accepted as legitimate and incorporated into the daily step total.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the feedback.  I'll give the decimal thingy a try, although I'm not sure why that might work (a fraction of a step???).  I'm just trying to find out if others are experiencing this weird issue with the Steps data set.  The manual entries continue to remain in the data set after entry, they just stop being incorporated into the displayed totals/graph.
    I also note that it takes a full minute, or so, for all the data in the set to be displayed when you want to edit it.  I discovered this when I saw that my manual entry wasn't being included in the totals graph and wanted to check if my entry was still there.  It was.  So, I then deleted it and re-entered the amount with a different entry time.  That sometime worked and sometime not.  I just didn't want to leave the old non-included entry in the data set, once I got a new entry that worked.
    It's nice to know the issue isn't only affecting me.  Maybe Apple will now take a look and see what's the matter.

  • Health app not importing data

    I have the Health app connected to UP (for steps and sleep), Withings (for weight, BMI, heart rate) and Lose It! (for calories and other nutritional data). It is importing the steps from UP just fine, but it will not import anything else. It used to import sleep from UP, but that stopped on Oct. 8; it used to import weight, but that stopped on Oct. 22. It never imported anything from Lose It.
    I am running the newest iOS and the newest versions of all of these apps (including the new UP 4.0, released today, and others on UP's message boards report their issues have resolved with the update - not mine). All of them appear to be connected to Health - that is, under Sources they are all there and 'turned on,' and each of the individual apps' settings shows them as exporting to Health.
    Anyone have any fixes? Ideas?

    EdHDC,
    I'm sorry that I don't have a fix for your issue, but I did want to mention that if you end up in a scenario where you get things working and find that you have data prior to your fix that doesn't automatically get imported in, we have released an app specifically for importing data into HealthKit / Health App.  It requires data in a CSV (comma separated value) format currently, but that is the format that most apps provide for their exported files.
    The app is called Health Importer and more information is available on the App Store at:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/health-importer/id930943780?ls=1&mt=8
    Hope it's a helpful tool for you or others who come across the post!

  • Health app not showing steps and calories

    It's about 5 days that the health app is not showing steps, calories and other data which was showing before. I have added two data source to provide data for health App and both them are provideding data.

    I take it you have already gone into the Health app and set up your Medical ID card, correct?
    The Medical ID card will show up on the Lock Screen password entry screen when Emergency option on the bottom left-hand side of the screen is clicked.

  • Health App not collecting data

    I have a iPhone 6 and for the first three weeks the Health app worked just great. Now since about one week it doesn't seem to collect any data anymore. The dashboard just shows no data on steps, distance and stairs. Also all historical data is gone. I also have Fjuul and Withing apps, which both are counting steps like before so obviously there is nothing mechanically wrong with the movement processor. Any ideas what to do to get the Health app up and running again? Naturally I have rebooted the phone several times so that doesn't help.

  • Health app not graphing data points.

    I have been playing around with the new Health app recently. I do not use any third party apps for Health, but I am running iOS 8.0.2 anyway. So far, I have plotted 4 points on the sleep monitor, for example. I can press Show All Data to see the individual sleep and wake times I inputted, but they are not showing up graphically as the data "Points" that I wanted to add. Instead, the graph (which I added to Dashboard) just says No Data.

    I have the identical problem with the Walking/Running Distance App in Health.  If I manually enter that I walked 1.75 miles it is 50/50 whether that shows up on the graph.  This makes the walking distance data useless if one doesn't want to wear the iPhone while walking.

  • Health App not working (receiving/retaining/displaying) data.

    Hi,
    I am using MyFitnessPal and MapMyRun or Strava to send data to the Health App.
    The data was not going to the Health App when I looked.
    I found that when I did a hard reset yesterday the data appeared.
    It was gone in the morning however.
    After trying another hard reset the data has NOT re-appeared.
    Is my data lost?
    Is there a bug here?
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks.

    Hi I am using MyFitnessPal and Strava, I have noticed this very same problem, There is another thread looking into this, with a suggestion that a hard reset may correct it. In my experience that didn't work.
    From what I can tell the data , ie Steps , flight climbed is still logged and available as I have noticed mine coming and going over the past few days. (almost as things a written to Health App).
    I think it is going to require a software update to fix, either Apple or the App causing the problem.
    iPhone 6.0 , iOS 8

  • Health app not saving data

    when I enter my data on the built in health app it doesn't save let it use to. I would enter my information close it and reopen it and everything will be gone.. Does anyone else have this problem

  • Health app not measuring walking distance

    The health application is working perfectly for step counting,but does not measure correctly the waking distance.The problem began at 11 or 12 of March,I think after the iOS 8.2 update.Before this date it worked absolutely fine.So everyday I have an average of 5.500 steps and of 0.17km

    nappin,
    Mine seems to be working much better now. I find that there is often a lag of up to 15 minutes between the data being taken and the time it shows up in the app.
    I one instance, it shows that I climbed a flight of stairs at 10:03, but it was not added to the health app until 10:15. For other data the two times match.
    I don't know why your data does not display on the dashboard. Perhaps you can find an answer in some of the other threads on this topic.

  • Health app double counting steps?

    I have a Withings Pulse activity tracker and it is now synced with my phone and the Withings app to help track my steps throughout the day.  I've noticed that the Health app itself tracks my steps in intervals throughout the day and it seems the Withings app only syncs steps at midnight each night.  I'm wondering if I'm ultimately getting double-credit for steps every day or if Health somehow is able to cancel out its steps once it sees that steps sync in from another app.  I wish there was a way to turn off the internal step counter in iOS8 but I haven't found one yet.  Curious if anyone here has been experiencing this with other fitness bands/activity trackers?
    David

    I am having the same issue as well. I don't have any activity tracker but I keep my phone on me at all times and use it as a tracker. It seems that withings app keeps track of the steps and so does the phone on its own.. If you allow withings app to to sync with health app to me it seems health app uses info from whatever iphone tracks than adds data from withings on top of it.. For examples woke up today and after hour or two withings app said I did about 330 steps. Which would make sense. However in the health app it's showing 670..... why allow other apps to use steps feature if you can't disable iPhone steps tracking, since it will only double up steps?. God forbid I give another app access to step counting. It will seem like I ran a marathon yet I nearly got off the sofa.

  • Health App step count issues

    I noticed on 12/27/2014 that I had a huge spike in total steps recorded by the health app on my 6. It recorded 18,298 steps at 07:35 !
    The screen shots below show that the app created this record. I am not using any other external devices to track data at this time, but how it can possibly record 18 thousand seems as if something major is wrong.
    Has anyone had similar issues ?

    The iPhone measures both steps and distance separately. It measures distance using GPS functionality and steps using the accelerometer. So it doesn't need to know step length to find distance. It DOES know it, however; under Location Services there is a function called "Motion Calibration." That's what its for.

  • IPhone 6 Health App not tracking anything

    I was hoping 8.1 would fix the Health app, but it's still not working for me.
    It doesn't track any steps.  When I restart the app my dashboard is reset to empty and I have to add things back on the Dashboard.
    Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

  • Health app not showing the curve on graph

    hello , my health app stopped the curve progression suddenly i tried to reset my phone and force the app to stop but still the same knowing the the day view show that the data is regIstered.... Any help please...

    I take it you have already gone into the Health app and set up your Medical ID card, correct?
    The Medical ID card will show up on the Lock Screen password entry screen when Emergency option on the bottom left-hand side of the screen is clicked.
    It does not show up anywhere if you do not have a passcode lock on the screen.

  • Health app not recognizing manual inputs

    Hi,
    I've been using the Health app on my iPhone to track the number of steps I take each day (trying to do a minimum 10,000 per day as recommended by health professionals).
    This morning I didn't take my phone with me when walking the dog, so manually entered an estimate of the number steps.  Once I click on OK, it updated the number of steps.
    Later this morning, I noticed that the manually added steps are no longer being added to the total steps.  Checked that the data entry point was there and it was.  Deleted the data, and re-added it but made no difference - still not included.  I even turned the iPhone off and back on to see if that would make a difference.
    Why is the Health app now acting this way?  I've added manual data in the past and it's been OK.
