Troubleshooting

Updating Display Settings 

When you are viewing the graph, do the phone buttons overlap with the day and time at the bottom of the graph? 

  • If they do, go to Settings > Display > Navigation Bar and choose swipe gestures. 

The day and time at the bottom of the graph should now be visible.
