Thank you @johan_m_o !

Probably a very silly question, but I can't find the settings to adjust 'twist to unlock' behaviour on my BangleJS2. I'm sure I saw them when I first got it. Are they in a menu on the watch itself? I feel like I've been through every menu twice and not found it.
(I've updated the firmware and prefer the light not coming on so easily, hence why I want to change it).

Of course! I'll share the font properly when I've done the whole alphabet, but here are the numbers 0-9 and colon:

var font = atob("f3/gMB/7+AAAACA///AAAAAAQcHhsZ+LhAAAgUhsPh38eAAADAoJCI///BAA8XhkMhn8eAAAPz/0Mhn4eAAAgEAh8f+HgAAAb3/kMh/7eAAAeH5hML/z8AAAAAADYbAAAAAA");
g.setFontCustom(font, 48, 8, 9);

Success! I used Matt's font converter in the end, thank you for the tip.

Thanks Gordon!

I think 7x8 for the digits

I have - there are lots of great fonts and I've been trying some of them out, but I have a specific one that I'd like to recreate for my Bangle.js 2!

Hi Gordon - I've been puzzling over modifying this code to make a slightly bigger font than 4x8 and I'm rather stuck. (I have a nice bitmap font that doesn't convert well from OTF, and I want to encode the numbers from scratch using a method like this). Can you give me a clue as to what this line is doing? I understand the bitwise operators and can see the numbers in the console but I'm puzzled as to their significance.

 var i = (col&3)+((col&~3)<<3);

Hi Gordon - yes that's right I made the app on the card and fiddled with it! Good to know, thanks for the swift response, very much appreciated.

Thanks Gordon - good to know. I have to say the display itself looks amazing in direct light / daylight, and I was wondering the same about why people use white-on-black text. I prefer 'dark mode' anyway so this is not a big issue for me.

My bangle.js 2 is giving very low readings, around -73m when I'm at ground level in South London. The number changes to a smaller negative number as I go upstairs, suggesting that something is working, but does it need calibrating in some way?

I've not been able to get a GPS fix at all on my Bangle.js 2 yet - left by a window for 15 minutes, taken on a ~40 min walk - nothing.

As Les says, it's hard to photograph. It's more pronounced than this photo I'm attaching suggests. A 'dark smear' is a good description, noticeable only when the backlight is on, especially in light mode.

I know of at least 1 other person who reports the same issue - I'll try and get a photo of it later.

Thanks - I had the same issue.

Just got my Bangle.js 2 and very excited! The display looks fantastic in daylight, but in dim light with the backlight on there's a dark cast over the bottom third of the screen - is that normal or might there be a fault?
