Hi there,
I'm new here and new to the bangle.js. I just want to preface this by saying I think it's great and I'm looking forward to seeing how the bangle.js evolves in future.
Anyway, so I just received my bangle.js 2 a couple of days ago and I've just been toying about with it. I installed some apps and I've read quite a few posts on the forum here.
I read a post about firmware updates the other day and decided to see if I was running the latest firmware on my new watch. My current firmware version is 2v12 and the bootloader is 2v12. I saw that 2v.13 and 2v.13.16 firmware versions are both available and tried uploading each of these to my bangle.js 2 using the app loader.
Unfortunately, none of these are uploading to the watch. I initially tried uploading the firmware on my android phone using Bromite (a chromium browser) and and then on Chromium itself. Each time the firmware uploads about a 1/4 of the way and then stops. A couple of times it did go about halfway but then also stopped. I also tried uploading with my VPN turned off but I got the same result. I can connect to the browsers and upload apps just fine on android (Bromite & Chromium) but it seems to have difficulty uploading firmware to the watch for some reason.
No error messages are visible when the upload stops. Maybe I'm being impatient and the firmware upload is a long process? I have left it for up to 10 minutes at times without any progress so I doubt it, but maybe the upload process is much longer than I think it is. Please let me know how long it should take :)
I also jumped onto my laptop which runs the latest version of Fedora and tried to get web bluetooth running on Chromium too but so far I've had no luck. I installed the latest version of BlueZ on my laptop. I then followed the guide on Espruino to configure web bluetooth for Chromium browsers on linux. When I checked for web bluetooth on the Espruino Web IDE, it mentioned that the web bluetooth API was available but was not supported by the browser.
Not sure what else to do now. I done a factory reset on the watch too and I'm still getting the same results when I try to update the firmware. Is there a way I can get web bluetooth working on fedora to give it a go on my laptop? Or is there something I can do to update the firmware on android?
Any help would be much appreciated :)
