Along with a bigger screen, faster processor, and improved camera, the HTC One M8 is also equipped with new sensors that bring a variety of unique features to the device. Gestures can be performed to turn the display on and a depth of field sensor allows for photos to be refocussed after
they have been captured. Thanks to a low-power motion sensor, the
device can also be used to track your steps, distance traveled, and
calories burned. Here's how you can use the HTC One M8 as a fitness
tracker: Step 1. Download the free Fitbit app from the Google Play store. Step 2. Open the app and join Fitbit if you don't already have an account, or sign into an existing one . Step 3.
When asked which tracker you would like to set up, select "No tracker
yet," followed by the 'Set up your phone" option. On the next screen you
will be asked to enter an email address and password to create an
account. Existing Fitbit users can access the device menu by clicking on
the three vertical dot icon in the top right corner of the app,
selecting Devices, and choosing the "Set up a new device" option.

Step 4.
Enter your name, birthday, height, weight, and gender. This information
is used to calculate your base metabolic rate, which is used to
determine your calorie count. Once the information has been saved you
can begin using your HTC One M8 and Fitbit app to track your steps
taken, distance traveled, and calories burned. Tips
When
you reach certain milestones, such as gaining 15,000 steps in a day,
Fitbit awards you with badges. These badges can then be viewed on the
company's Web site and shared with others. On the HTC One M8, however,
these badges are also displayed on your BlinkFeed home screen. To view your badges,
swipe to the far left home screen to access Blink feed, click on the
menu at the top left-hand corner of the screen, and select Fitbit.
If you are experiencing battery drain due to the Fitbit app, simply log out of it to disable tracking. To do this, open the app, click the three vertical dot icon, and select the "Log out" option
