We're doing our very best to put pressure on the phone manufacturers ourselves to upgrade their technology to allow for better sharing of their step data. We’d urge you to join us by reaching out to them directly as well to emphasise the problem and up the pressure! In some cases though, it could be that your device’s settings are causing issues here. Please see below some tips which have proven to have helped many of our Huawei users. Before this, always make sure you’ve installed the latest version of Sweatcoin from the PlayStore (we’re releasing new versions all the time!) 1. In your device, go to “Settings” > “Apps” > find “Sweatcoin” > ensure Power saving mode toggle is OFF 2. In your device, go to "Settings > “Apps” > Three dots at the top > “Special Access” > “Battery Optimisation” > “Not allowed” switch to “All apps” > Find “Sweatcoin” > Click on Sweatcoin > Choose “Don’t allow” (this can be done by request from the app like on Samsung) 3. Settings > Battery > App launch > Find Sweatcoin > Disable switch > Keep all switches in opened popup as enabled (Auto-launch, Secondary launch, Run in background) Click “OK” (this cannot be adjusted from the app) 4. Ensure that you've deleted any other step tracking/fitness apps from your phone that you don't use (especially those in-built into your device that you might not be aware of). This can often be the problem. 5. Make sure that you're opening the app at least a couple of times a day to jog our algorithm! Continued After you've taken these steps, please make sure to leave things for up to 24 hours to see if things have improved. If not, unfortunately, as mentioned above, this will most likely due to a hardware issue caused as a result of your phone manufacturer.
