I noticed that the "burned calories" overview is only available when choosing the "walking" activity. I tried to change some settings to get it also available within the "cycle" activity, but I cannot find it.
Is this not available due to the activity? Or is this just a 'missing' feature?
I thought that was available on all activities. It makes some assumptions though. I get it when running, and have not noted it's abscence fomr any activities yet.
Maybe I need to check again.
Are you referring to the phone or the website or both?

To both
I know that calculation is based aroudnd age, weight, distance and time.
People have had calories burned not show when they have not entered this information in there profile on the NST website. This is not done automatically form your phone when you create your user.
I've not seen the issue you refer to before though.
What is your phone (helps to provide info as detailed in my signature)?

It likely uses the step counter (accelerometer) to calculate.
Since they can't count steps or 'cycles' when cycling, it can't calculate the calories burnt

Nokia Sports Tracker default setup on the more recent versions is not to have the step counter included in the app. This is only included in application versions including "STEP" in the installation file name, I beleive. The way in which NST calculates calories burned is based on a formula using age, weight, height, distance and time. Not sure if it takes any account of the activity, in as much as running 10km in 1hr would use much more calories than cycling the same distance in the same time. If it does then users need to accept that if they generate there own activities the calories burned figure could be way out. Also not clear on if the formula makes any assumptions based on the altitude chart as running up hill uses a lot more calories than running on the flat or down hill.
The long and short of it is that I do not beleive the step counter is used at all in the calculation of calories burned.
