• Low battery life

  Ah. I think I did load the heart monitor, which I really don't need.
  I'll try the simple clock and see what happens.

• Low battery life

  in Bangle.js • 2 years, 11 months

  

  I added only a few apps, but even with defaults I'm having the effect of a blank screen (no response). When I plug in the charging cable it says 34% (on my LCARS watchface).

  Looks like the battery is lasting about 2 days max.

  Any way to monitor the power utilization somehow?

  I didn't look for Bangle 1 cables. I would think they would be available.

  Can you check and post back for other interested Bangle users?

  All:
  I located an alternative source for the BangleJS charging cable: Amazon.

  There are other sources out there too, I used Google Search Term of "bangle2 charging cable". I chose
  Amazon (rather than the raft o' Chinese sources) due to the free shipping and also 'cuz I trust
  Amazon to allow returns if things don't work out.

  Charging Cable for Bluetooth Smart Watches (4 pin)
  https://amzn.to/3FNqGMW
  Cost is $8.99, I have Amazon Prime so I didn't pay shipping. I got it within 2 days (ordered last Wednesday, arrived Friday).

  I checked with Gordon (maker/designer of the watch) and asked him before posting this.

  He himself hasn't verified that it works, but I recharged my BangleJS2 yesterday.

  I explicitly asked him if it was ok to post this since it means people may not order the cable from him, and his response was:

  That's great! Yes, please go ahead and post!

  You don't have to worry about taking money from me - I don't really
  make anything from cables and stuff like that anyway, they're just
  sold as a service to existing customers :)

  Thanks Gordon! Really reflects a person who's got the true Open Source spirit!

  AH, thanks for the hint on setting the time from the IDE/appstore.

  Yes, my watch is working as is the Bangle App store / loader.

• Bangle js 2 doesn't show up in IOS bluetooth menu

  in Bangle.js • 3 years, 1 month

  

  Probably ought to include in the BANGLE (2) FAQ somewhere: only ONE bluetooth connection at a time on the watch (?true? I think).

  So if you download from the Bangle App store with your laptop (I did) via Bluetooth and then want to do the IOS notification you can't ... you have to disconnect from the bluetooth laptop first.

• Bangle 2 GPS - time for first fix, quite variable

  in Bangle.js • 3 years, 1 month

  

  My GPS loaded after about 15-20 minutes while I was driving (I have a 1.5 hour commute one way).

  Once loaded it worked fine (did the GPS time setting too).

  I used the Bangle App store in Chrome. The app loader in Chrome (on my Mac) worked fine.
