If your scores are not updating in the GEM app, it’s usually due to connectivity, sync, or usage issues. Below are common causes and step-by-step solutions to help you get back on track.
Common Causes & Solutions
1. Bluetooth Connection
Cause: GEM requires an active Bluetooth connection to transmit data to your phone or tablet.
What to do:
-
Ensure Bluetooth is turned on on your mobile device.
-
Keep your GEM wearable within close range (typically under 10 feet).
-
Open the GEM app and check the Bluetooth icon:
-
🟡 Yellow icon = Disconnected
-
🔵 Blue icon = Connected
-
-
If disconnected, go to Profile > Manage Devices in the app and manually reconnect your GEM.
2. Low Battery
Cause: A low battery can interrupt data transmission and reduce functionality.
What to do:
-
Check the GEM’s notification light:
-
🔴 Flashing red = low battery
-
-
Recharge the GEM using the included magnetic USB charging cable.
-
When fully charged, the light turns green.
3. Delayed Data Sync
Cause: If Bluetooth was off or the GEM was out of range, syncing will be paused.
What to do:
-
Re-enable Bluetooth and reconnect the GEM.
-
Keep the app open for several minutes to allow the device to sync stored data.
-
GEM stores up to 48 hours of readings, which will backfill once connected.
4. App Issues or Outdated Version
Cause: The app may need a refresh or update.
What to do:
-
Force close and reopen the GEM app.
-
Check your app store for the latest version and update if needed.
-
If issues persist, log out and log back in to reset the session.
5. Outdated Firmware
Cause: Older firmware versions can interfere with data syncing.
What to do:
-
Open the app.
-
Go to Profile > Manage Devices.
-
Select your GEM and tap Update Firmware.
-
Ensure your GEM is fully charged before starting the update.
6. Improper Wear Placement
Cause: Incorrect sensor contact can prevent accurate readings.
What to do:
-
Wear the GEM snugly on your wrist, with the sensor side touching your skin.
-
Avoid wearing it over sleeves or loose fabric.
-
Check the strap fit to ensure stable contact during use.
7. Bluetooth-Dependent Features
Cause: Some functions like Correct and personalized Protect require active Bluetooth.
What to do:
-
Keep Bluetooth enabled throughout the day to ensure your GEM receives personalized updates and transmits biometric data properly.
