sometimes the clock becomes lag/slow and i wanna reboot it without using the button.

When does this happen?

I use chinese,
when there is SMS that contain chinese, which is send to the BJv2, then weired things happen. i tried on/off /w "text to bitmap", different font sizes, different message app (default UI/list/large/overlap, XXL?) etc. no good result.

when the message icon flash, it even will affect the "stop timer"s'timer count, (they flash together)
and "folder launcher"will have weired background for some app, (but desktop launcher is ok, i think that's why more ppl liked it).

thanks

may be i better turn off the "text to bitmap"option, sometimes didn't work, not very useful.
some times the message is a blank page.

is E.reboot(); the correct function/the best way close to "pressing 10s and reboot the watch"?

Yes, it is.

Since you're using Gadgetbridge maybe you could send us a log from when you get a message that causes these issues on the watch, assuming there's no personal info you're worried about?

Or if you can reproduce just by putting some chinese text into the 'debug' section of Gadgetbridge then you could send us that text?

hi,

1. back to my main Q,
   is the emulator working?

i am using the same win10 as i tested my microwave app before,
but the emulator now only shows the bangle screen,
even i type load(), it didn't enter into the system.

is it something wrong at my side or is the emulator service down but i just dont read the notice?
without it i cant test the soft reboot app.....<--- an essential app just as i'll install in my android phone.

thanks

2. btw, let it go the chinese sms problem and put aside first,
   it's true non-ASCII is a problem just as at the early days of computing.
   may be hope later unicode will be implemented. and the non-ASCII input methods,
   always a pain in windows, linux, android.
   better everyone speaks in english.

Yes. At some point I guess you ended up deleting all the code from it. Just paste Bangle.factoryReset() on the left-hand side and you'll be fine.

without it i cant test the soft reboot app....

Sending E.reboot() or fiddling with the watchdog won't work in the emulator anyway - it doesn't emulate hardware at that low a level.

may be hope later unicode will be implemented.

UTF8 is implemented on Bangle.js 2 now. It's just right now we don't have any fonts that use it.

If someone came up with a PBF-format font that had the Chinese unicode characters in then you might be ok (although I'm not 100% sure Gadgetbridge will forward them to Bangle.js) - but there are quite a lot of characters to handle!

It's been on my list to do but actually surprisingly few people have seemed bothered by it.
