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 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.

  • Health App not showing correct steps

    Hi,
    I have two health apps installed on my 5S, Argus and Myfitnesspal. Both of them and the Health app have been counting steps successfully and all agreed with each other.
    For the last week the Health app has been showing far less steps (and Walking + Running Distance) than the other two and less than I have really walked. For instance today I have walked 2.9 km to work, walked at lunchtime and on my home yet the Health app is showing only 1,760 steps (1.27km) while the other apps are showing over 10,400 steps, which I believe to be accurate.
    As far as I'm aware I haven't changed any settings, has anyone any suggestions please?
    John

  • Health App needs to add Blood Glucose and A1c for tracking. Eliminate some of the items under nutrition.

    Health App needs to add Blood Glucose tracking and A1c tracking. Plus there are way to many items under Nutrition. How many people keep track of their intake of Biotin?

    Please send your feedback directly to Apple, we all are users here.

  • N81 does not retain the correct date...

    My N81 got a very strange problem: it does not retain the correct date....
    Usually it's wrong by two days ago....!
    The S.O. Ver. is: 10.0.32 
    Thanks you and sorry for my english...! :-)

    hi there, have you checked that there is a firmware update for your model? v10 sounds like the original firmware for the N81. i would suggest checking on your PC via Nokia Software Updater for any firmware updates. the latest firmware version for the N81, unbranded or not, is v21.  
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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 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

  • 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.
