  That's awesome!

  Also very good to know I am unable to brick the watch or at least unbrick it via Factory Reset

  Hi :-)
  Thanks for the response, much appreciated.

  But your not out of luck. By visiting the app loader from a chromium based browser on your android phone you can download the backup (remember to disconnect from Gadgetbridge first). I just successfully did this with the Brave browser.

  Indeed. I realized this last night and temporarily reenabled Chrome just for this ;-)

  Maybe the app loader can detect it's being loaded in Gadgetbridge and give a warning about this. (This download issue likely also applies to apps that allow downloading of (CSV) files through the app loader).

  In my case it wasn't a big deal. But I can imagine someone "making backups" via GadgetBridge and only looking to find it when the actually need it. Then they are in for quite a unfortunate surprise

  Hi,

  New to the forums, since from today, I am the proud owner of a BangleJs 2. After my Peble Time unfortunately gave up.

  I tried looking for the answer, here and other places I could think of. But couldn't find the answer.

  I had tried to connect the Bangle to my PC, but wasn't able to find it. I will try again at some point with a different Bluetooth adapter, since I do like to try my hand at making some app/watchface to run on the Bangle.

  In any case, the point was to connect it to my phone anyway, to be able to receive notifications.
  I was able to connect it via the BangleJs GadgetBridge available via Google Play.

  Where first thing I did was create a backup.

  Now comes the problem: I am unable to find the location of the backup. And I actually believe that I should've gotten a prompt to download a zip file? Which I didn't get.

  Gadgetbridge has all the permissions I can give it. Eventho it doesn't have the Access Files permissions, so it's probably not that.

  Scoured the settings of GadgetBridge for anything related to it. And the Device specific settings in GadgetBridge. Also tried looking for permissions and settings in WebView. But nothing I can find that could help me with this.

  I am beginning to get the impression I am only able to create backups via a PC connection.
  I do hope it can be done on my phone as well tho.
  As I do like the idea of being able to Backup first before tinkering and tweaking the watch any further.
