Radiation level
I have been concerned with carrying an iPhone and Fitbit around the waist all day. Manual mentions that Fitbit by itself meets all criteria for radiation levels, what about when combined with an iPhone?

What is it about $100 fitness tech that makes it so hard to ship outside the US?
I asked this question jokingly on Twitter the other day, but I'm curious as to whether anybody has any real answers.
Why do neither the Fitbit or Jawbone Up ship outside the US/Canada? What is it about the technology (if it is the technology that's the problem) that makes it so difficult? All I can guess is that it's the wireless radios that might cause a holdup in international availability.
(It's worth noting that since I posted this question, the Jawbone Up has become available in Apple Stores...

How many days worth of data does the fitbit ultra hold?
I keep my charger base for my fitbit ultra at work. It makes the most sense because I am at my desk 5 days a week when at home I may not use my PC daily. However as the weekend gets closer, I am curious if I can go two days without syncing.
Does anyone know how many days data the fitbit ultra can hold?

My Fitbit is acting very strangely. Any suggestions?
I've only had it since last Wednesday, but my Fitbit has been acting strangely. It seems to switch itself in to activity mode without me pressing anything. On Friday, for a while I noticed that when I pressed the button once it wouldn't respond, and if I pressed it a couple more times it would eventually display "Start" and go to activity mode. Pressing once more would display "Stop", even though I was only doing a short press. After doing this for a while, it reset itself (displayed "Fitbit...

What is "activity mode"?
Some of the instructions on the website say that holding the button down for two seconds enters "sleep or activity logging" but nothing ever really talks about what activity logging means. Is that for tracking calories burned during a specific activity? For instance, can I start and stop it before and after a workout to track the calories burned during that workout separately from the rest of my steps for the day?

Food logging?
I'm using my Fitbit to log my activity and whatnot, but I also want to use it for logging my food intake. However, I have no idea how to enter stuff from a restaurant or take-out! Most of the food items that they have in their database are pre-packaged items.
Any suggestions for making sense of food that doesn't come in a box?

Do you think the FitBit warranty will apply to my broken FitBit?
My FitBit broke this morning!! *sob* The back cover broke off... so the device itself still works but the cover no longer stays on without something to hold it. I wasn't doing anything unusual with it. I wear it clipped to my bra (TMI maybe but it's true!) and I was clipping it on and the back part just broke off. I have worried about this happening since I got it and try to be careful with it... :\ Did your FitBit break? In what way did it break? Were you able to get it replaced? Here is...

Recover fitbit stats?
Unfortunately, my fitbit didn't upload 2 out of 3 days worth of steps I took, which is kinda disappointing, since it skews my stats and I lost out on about 8000 steps. I recently installed the fitbit software on a new computer and it only uploaded the current day's worth of steps and didn't record any data before today. Is there anyway to recover this?

Do you record everything on Fitbit?
I'm home for the weekend and finally got the Fitbit that I ordered last week. I've set it up and I'm curious to know how much you guys record on your Fitbit accounts. Do you guys input your food intake, water intake, heart rate, mood, etc.? Or do you just let it count your steps and calories? If you input your meals, how do you determine how many calories you took in from homecooked meals?

Is the time right to buy a Fitbit now?
From looking at the previous questions there have been issues with buggy firmware and software problems. It looks like they are pretty easy to find now so my only worry is about the firmware/software issues that some have mentioned. Has the Mac software been updated as to not cause kernel panics? Can the device firmware be updated from a Mac to correctly track sleep patterns over multiple days, etc?

Any news on whether or not the Fitbit will become available in europe?
I live in Denmark, and I absolutely love the idea of fitbit. But going through the hassle of using those "fake" US address services is not appealing at all.

Is there a way to stop tracking on the Fitbit while driving?
My 30 min to drive to work logs a fairly large number of steps usually and having to go back through daily logs and edit out the time i think i was driving is a huge hassle.

How do you edit your steps on the FitBit website?
There used to be a way on the website to update your steps, in case you went out without your FitBit on. I can't find that area anymore! Did they take it away? Were people cheating too much?
by leigh
I have two questions for those of you actively using the fitbit:
1) When you exercise do you put it in "activity" mode? Why do you (or don't you)? I've just started up the C25K program and I'm indecisive about how important that step is. The first day I did not do it and the second day I did. 2) I've noticed that if I do not sync the fitbit on a daily basis that the markers for when I begin sleep/end sleep are lost. Does that also happen to you? I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong. Basically, I was...
