Posted at 2023-06-17 by @halemmerich That seems weird. Maybe the app info file that gets generated during install was somehow corrupted? In any case, reinstalling settings will probably help. Maybe perform a backup before using the app loader in case there is more corruption going on. Posted at 2023-06-17 by blogmywiki Thank you, I'll try re-installing it after a backup. Posted at 2023-06-17 by blogmywiki Hmmm... 'Settings removal failed. Invalid JSON.' Posted at 2023-06-17 by @halemmerich That can happen if some app does write to the console during the update. Just try again a few times. If it does not work, boot the Bangle without loading anything and perform install/removal then. There it should work. https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+Getting+Started#resetting-without-loading-any-code Posted at 2023-06-17 by blogmywiki I tried repeatedly deleting and the reboot without loading code, but I'm still getting the invalid JSON message. I may have done the reboot incorrectly as those instructions seem to refer to the BangleJS 1 with two buttons. Anyone know where I might find instructions for rebooting without loading code for the JS2? Posted at 2023-06-17 by @halemmerich Yeah, copied the wrong link... https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2#resetting-without-loading-any-code Posted at 2023-06-17 by blogmywiki Thank you! Unfortunately I'm still getting the JSON error. So, I guess I need to do a factory reset - though how do I do that if I can't access the settings app? Posted at 2023-06-17 by blogmywiki Or could I delete the settings app from the IDE? Attachments: Posted at 2023-06-17 by blogmywiki It does look like something may be missing from setting.json after "options":
Posted at 2023-06-17 by @halemmerich Just delete the 4 Posted at 2023-06-17 by blogmywiki Thank you so much, that worked :D Posted at 2023-06-17 by @halemmerich Great :) The json you had posted seems to be valid, but if that indeed was the cause, there is a "Reset Settings" button in the "More..."-tab in the apploader that deletes the setting.json without using the IDE. Maybe you can take the setting.info file from the backup and see if that one is valid? It also contains json. |

I'm probably being really stupid, but I can't find the Settings app any more. Should it appear in the list of apps when you browse it in the Launcher, or is it invoked in another way? It's not listed at all.
When I browse my installed apps in the App Loader, Settings is listed but it says 'unknown version' - which seems odd. Do I need to delete it and re-install it?
