Hi there everyone! just received my banglejs 2 and have been setting it up for the past hours (firmware and software updates, connecting with gadgetbridge etc).

But I've got a question. In Settings>Alerts, I have both "Beep" and "Vibration" setting turned ON. Problem is whenever I get a notification from gadgetbridge app, the banglejs does vibrate, but does not beep.

The notification can be a new email, a new message etc.

Is this normal?

Thanks!

banglejs1 does though

Hi, yes - that's normal. While the Bangle.js 2 can beep, it does so via the vibration motor (there is no dedicated speaker) and so it is very quiet. Generally nothing really uses it (including Gadgetbridge notifications) apart from a few apps that use it to play music for fun or things like that

Yes, and manic monday :) The first set of Bangle.js 1 didn't have a speaker either, so to get sound they did the same trick too.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
