Periodic corruptions, BLE failing? [fixed]

If the Bluetooth icon was blue then you definitely had something that was connecting though.

That's the thing - the Bluetooth icon was definitely not blue. Before I did the factory reset, I had the one that disappeared when disconnected, so it was extra clear that it wasn't connected.

To clarify, I did not have a passkey, and then set one later on when troubleshooting. So it is possible something like my phone was getting partway through the connection process...? No idea. But that combination was enough to break through were nothing would before.

Interesting about the barometer - it checks between 900->1100 which seemed ok for where we test them in the UK at sealevel-ish.

That makes sense - I'm up around 4,500 feet of elevation, I think. Enough that without an elevation correction, the barometer app's weather meter becomes nonsense even though the pressure looks right.

Unfortunately when using the App Loader via Gadgetbridge it's not so good at transferring lots of data. It's frustrating, but for some reason it just doesn't seem 100% reliable

Ah. I tried with my phone's browser and it appears to be much more stable and possibly a bit faster too. Disappointing for Gadgetbridge because it would be such a great, integrated experience... but encouraging at the same time that the Bangle.js is stable.

Well I'll keep a somewhat distrustful eye pointed in its direction and if fishy things start happening I'll see what I can capture. Until then, all seems to be working great.

Again - thank you for the help! I'm impressed at how easy this device is to troubleshoot, to reset, to pair to another device, and so on. Just thinking about the account-tying hoops any first class smart watch has these days and how locked down they are, it's no comparison. The Bangle.js is great!
