@Gordon 2v11.14 worked! Thank you and don't worry about the issues. I am learning with each step!

Thanks! I was able to reflash the firmware with 2v11..I also tried 2v11.12, but then it just went back to the boot loop.
It looks like it reboots just a bit too quickly for the IDE or App loader to be able to connect.

@Gordon after the above rest and flash test, I tried to reboot and it as stuck in a boot loop -see attached image. I tried reuploading the firmware. That went ok but it is still in the same boot loop.

I am unable to connect via the web ide or app loader. How can I restore it?

@Gordon Definitely running 2v11. All checks normal.

@Gordon Was the above error message of any help? Is there any other information you would like me to gather while it is in this state. If not, I will wipe it and reload it to see how it behaves.
I did dump the messages.app.js file and it appears to be corrupted (attached screenshot showing what I think is the corrupted section). I'm new to this (if you haven't noticed ;-) is I may be mistaken, but this looks odd to me and probably explains the error message since the file cannot be properly parsed.

Edited to add: In the future, I think I should turn off "Pretokenise" in the App Loader to make things more readable.

I am hoping that this has been narrowed down to an issue with the IOS messaging. That seems to be the App the starts things going badly.
I had mine in a really bad state a few weeks ago, but eventually was able to get in via the WEB IDE and delete the corrupted files. It took many tries to get connected, but eventually I think it was just that I had to clear the BLE device from my Mac in order to reconnect. It is nice to be able to recover no matter how confused it gets!

It does still happen when disconnected -- here is the WEB IDE output entering Messages

@Gordon a bit more information. After more than a day of running with tit IOS integration and messages it is starting to act up. Frequently, every few hours, I find the watch in a state where the screen is "frozen" with the "loading" box displayed. I have to reboot it to get it back to working normally. This has happened about 4 or five times so far. Now the clock is working, but I am unable to examine any messages and I am unable get it to begin up the apps listing so I can check on them. Pressing the button starts the "loading" box, but it just disappears without showing my apps. In addition, tapping on the screen does not bring up messages even though it indicates messages are present. It does appear that the IOS integration is causing some issue. Is there anything I should do with it in this state before trying to reload it?
Sometime it gets bit farther, -- I see the app list, but am still unable to actually do anything with them. it just freezes if I try to access an App.
Now I find that "double tapping" the button gets me into the App listing, usually, and some Apps respond. About is OK, but selecting Messages just freezes when tapped.

Sorry about the changing comments, but that is how it is evolving...

With the default apps:

Bootloader
Launcher
Anton Clock
Health Tracking
Settings
About
Battery Level Widget
Bluetooth Widget
Lock Widget
Bluetooth ID Widget

It has been running normally for several days

Yesterday, I added
IOS integration and messages — paired with iPhone

It has been running OK for about 15 hours.... I'll give it another day or so before adding another app.

yes regarding 2v11
I will try adding more apps aver the next few days and see if I can trigger the failure again.

I have seen a few failure modes. Many time int just reloads the default apps, but there have been time when it just stopped at the first screen and would not boot at all. I realize this is not overly helpful without better information. I'll try to capture it better if I can get it to recur.
Should I continue post to this thread or would you prefer i start a new one when I have something to share?

@Gordon and yes, I am running 2v11

@Gordon Thanks for getting back to me. I hope you had a good holiday!
I was responding mostly to "commiserate" with the orrignal post. In my case, the problem was not tied to battery drain/recharge, but it would just "spontaneously" reload the default apps.
I'll try to explain what I have seen -- I apologize for not having a a clear reproducible issue.
Normally I have been loading several apps and widgets - including the IOS integration and messages app. I then pair the watch to my iPhone and it works for a day or two then a few things seem to happen. First, the clock will appear to freeze at some time and when I press the button it restarts, but the time has reverted to GMT (I am at -5). If I then reboot, it reports the memory corrupted and does not even boot. I have to erase all apps and reload. This seems to happen after a few hours to days. For test, about 4 days ago, I just loaded the default apps and it has been running fine ever since. So, I assume there is something in one of the apps I am using that is causing the corruption. I will try to reload them one at at time and see how it goes. I hope some of that makes sense. Let me know if there is something you would like me to try.

I have seen this repeatedly as well. Even without battery drain. Just seems to reset sometimes....

@HughB Wow! after many many tries, I finally got into the WEB IDE and was able to delete files -- then the App Loader was able to connect and I am back up and running.

The "secret" may have been as simple as getting my host computer to "forget" the BLE device before trying to connect via the WEB IDE.... at least it connected after that...

Thank so much for the suggestions. Whew!

Thank you for trying!

sigh--- I've done that several times as well.
I do appreciate the suggestions and encouragement!

BTW -- I can connect to my Bangle.js (original version) vis the WEB IDE so I know it works.

Thanks for trying to help -- I have been trying/repeating for 2 days.... I'll keep at it...

The WEB IDE will not connect either :-(

I managed to corrupt something on my bangle2.js and it hangs when booting with an error
"Uncaught SyntaxError" I have tried "Booting without loading any Code" but any attempts to connect the App loader fail.... How can I recover it?

Here is a screen shot of the error message on boot:
and after "boot without loading any code" and failing to connect the App loader:
