Had my new 6 for days and there is still zero data in the boxes on the Health Dashboard.
Might be a bad chip and I need to return it.
Anyone else with zero data?

Sound silly but how does the health app work? Don't want to watch videos right now or search. So simple answer would be awesome Lol.
Hmm, you might have a bad one, it's working for me (thanks for reminding me to check, I totally forgot about that feature). 54 steps and 1 flight climbed today, wow that sucks. Football :-/
You are looking in Fitness > Steps > Show All Data? Also, there are time scales, you might not see anything if you are in Day view and your day just started. Try Week.

Well, there is not really that much to the health app itself. Basically all it does is collect data points of various things and can display graphs over time. It can be automatically collected from the M8 (steps, flight of stairs climbed, etc.), things collected from external devices (blood glucose testers, Apple Watch in the future), or entered manually, such as your weight, calories eaten, etc.
It also has an area to enter a number of medical facts about yourself (age, blood type, medications, etc.) that could be helpful in an emergency. This information is available from the emergency dialer section of the lock screen.
And Apple is also working with health insurance companies, hospitals, and clinics to transmit various information to your doctor (only with your permission, obviously).
So it's kind of bare right now, but will become more useful over time.
This is what I thought as well, but then I figured out how to work the Health App and there is data. Though, I'm not sure it's accurate due to software, calibration or a bad chip. It says I've only climbed 1 flight of stairs which isn't right since I live in a 2-story home.

So am I missing something. I selected several of the data boxes like steps, active calories, resting calories to show up in the dashboard. They are all set for "Daily" and all have "NO DATA" in each one.
Still hoping I am missing something here but I do not think so!
I think for those, you have to put in other info, like your weight/height. I'm not really sure how the whole thing works. I just want to know if I have any hardware issues.
I'm assuming the app has to be running in the background. Does background refresh have to be on?
I can't get mine to show any data, and I'm wondering if it's related to me restoring my phone from my iPhone 4S with iOS 8. Curious if somehow it corrupted the Health app on my iPhone 6 so that it tries to get data from the M7 in the 4S.
