For Pokemon Go, the near by pokemon box doesn't update. Just stays the same. Everywhere
The small grey box in the bottom right corner of the screen doesn't accurately show near by pokemon. There could be an eevee in my front yard, and after walking a mile, it still shows the eevee in the box. No new pokemon show up either. I've tried deleting and redownloading the app, checking settings, and restarting my phone. I tried talking with support from the company and they won't respond. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know how to fix it?

The only solution I've found so far is to close the application completely and relaunch it. This problem extends to Pokéstops not refreshing until you've moved far away enough and restarted your application.
Reinstalling the game will not solve the problem, personally I've reinstalled the game over 10 times and had it run from both my SD card and Device Storage.

Does Pokémon GO track steps on treadmill?
Adventure sync uses steps tracked by your respective health app, but not other activity. This means it will track walking, light jogging/slow running, treadmill, maybe elliptical machines. It may not track biking, skateboarding, scooters, etc.Why does Pokémon GO not count my distance?
There may be a delay of up to several hours for the Pok\xe9mon GO app to sync with Apple Health or Google Fit to track your steps, so please be aware that the game may not always show the most up-to-date information on your distance walked. Restarting your app may help in this scenario.How does Adventure Sync work?
Adventure Sync will allow players to record their distance in Pok\xe9mon Go when the app isn't open. You can earn Buddy Candy or hatch Eggs without having to take your phone out of your pocket.Why is Adventure Sync not counting my steps?
Check if the Adventure Sync is activated within the Pokemon Go settings. Restart your phone and try reproducing the issue. Log out of Pokemon Go AND the fitness app and log back into both (log into in the fitness app first). If none of these work, reinstall the app from scratch.The Pokémon GO Box You CANNOT Find in Stores!

Answer 2
I've experienced some errors with this as well - it's probably related to the server issues they've had this week. Thus there isn't really a fix.
Answer 3
This appears to be a bug, it seems that old entries remain in the nearby box. It makes it incredibly difficult to use the footprints to find nearby Pokemon.
The solution to this would be to restart the app. After logging in the nearby box should be refreshed and work correctly for a little bit. When hunting a rare Pokemon, I refresh the app constantly just to make sure it's correctly updated.
The other thing that could happen is that you can't log in for a period of time or get the "servers are busy" error. Then you will just have to try again later.
