Bangle.js 1
I am running v12, and apps seem to pause in the middle of uploading. If I reload the page I have a small chance of getting some apps through, but the vast majority of the time it pauses without any progress several minutes later. Any ideas?

That doesn't sound fun.

It says Device connection failed: invalid JSON

So I'm getting this error message in both the app loader and in gadget bridge: "malformed JSON from Bangle.js: No value for t."

I can't reconnect to the app loader to erase all apps and start over, so I'm uncertain of what to do here.

Also, when did the Bangle develop the capacity to assign value to things like tea and coffee? 🤣

Any help is appreciated!

Okay, so reflashed the 2v08, and no change. However, I was running full screen notifications. After going back to default, no problems anymore. Any idea why? Either way, at least it's fixed.

I actually updated to 2v08 and it kept happening so I went back down to a previous version in an attempt to get rid of it without luck. I'll try updating again and hope for the best. Let me know if you have further thoughts.

I've attempted to utilize the HID Keyboard without any results in the past, and assumed it was a bug that would be worked out. I'll try again.

I'm still rather interested in using TFL to do some simple scrolling, power point control, or open apps as a way to expand how users can interact with the UI of the phone. (ie. Up Up = scroll up, left = next slide, etc.)

Numerals clock (sometimes the image watchface) and only the gadgetbridge widget, as too many others causes the watch to lose a lot of memory.

And yeah, I just hold button 3 to reset, I would ultimately just like it to not happen.

I haven't looked into the code of the watchface itself, so I'm uncertain about clearInterval()

So there are a couple apps that focus on TFL and sending the information to a computer, but what would it take to connect this to Android/iOS thru, say, IFFTT or some other application? It's beyond my knowledge level, but I believe the question is worth asking, and would take the potential of Bangle.js to an entire new level. Thoughts?

Anyone else have this problem? Sometimes the notification system works perfectly, but most of the time there is a never ending buzz. I have changed multiple firmwares, in case this information is pertinent.

Honestly, the GadgetBridge weather function hasn't worked once for me.... I honestly thought the app was still in development or perhaps a proof of concept.

Excellent. That was the issue. Thanks, Nebbish!

2v05?

//Edit//

Ah, 2v05.108. I'll update and see.

Firmware 2v05, Gadgetbridge v 0.44. I believe that's up to date. But let me add another clock to test it, as I'm having a secondary clock issue being addressed in another thread.

Unloading apps/watch faces/widgets to the point the RAM was at approximately 60-65% (not red). Once that happened, I was able to enter the menu.

I ran into this problem, too. I thought it might be defective apps, but I simply had too many apps/watch faces loaded onto the watch. The RAM widget is helpful in knowing when the limit is about to be reached.

So the ability to upload images for a watch face is awesome. However, I quickly ran into a problem of each digit overlapping the previous one as each minute/hour/second passes. It very quickly changes the space-time continuum and reads 28:88:88. All bad jokes aside, any thoughts?

This issue also happens with me, regardless of what time zone I choose. It's easily the most frustrating issue I've run into, because it's difficult to know if the time actually is correct.

After trying to connect from my phone (Opera browser) instead of my computer (Chrome), I was able to connect without any problems. For some reason, this is only happening in Chrome. Sort of no longer an issue, except that it's more convenient to use my computer. Let me know if you guys have any thoughts on the matter.

So, I haven't made any changes to my Bangle.js in a few days. I check the app loader and see something I want to add, connect, and it fails to do so. I've done a hard reset to the watch (btns 1+2, then release btn1), reloaded the browser, connected back to my phone, disconnected from phone, reset the settings on the watch, activated "make connectable", all to no avail. Sometimes the browser waits a few seconds, or sometimes it's immediate, but it always returns with "device connection failed, undefined." Any suggestions?

Thanks for your replies, guys. After uninstalling several apps, that fixed the issue. Apparently it was simply an issue of RAM for the launcher itself. I'll keep tabs if anything happens again under normal conditions.

Ah, thank you! I've been wanting something like this, but am not proficient enough in js to research this more than an hour at a time due to work. I'll play around, as I have a few images I'd like to throw up to the app loader :)

So I often have to reinstall all apps and faces, because one or more apps, faces, and widgets appear to disable the menu at worst, or at best cross buttons 1 and 2. So I reinstall every app one....by...one.... in order to figure out which app seems to be causing this issue. Once the problematic app is uninstalled, the problem goes away. Anyone else have this issue? I know there is an experimental apps versus stable apps section, but it seems multiple apps are still unstable (although I am aware and validate this is still early in the Bangle's and subsequent apps' development).

In case a list of problematic apps would be helpful:
Watchfaces: Blob clock, Bar clock, one of the command-line type clocks (forget which one), Numerals Clock (button switching)

Widgets: Simple heart rate widget, pedometer widget, digital clock widget

Apps: bluetooth joystick, and one or two others I can't recall

.....And now that I was confirming one or two apps, sometimes after uninstalling them the menu can be accessed.... and sometimes not. Perhaps this has NOTHING to do with the apps? Now I'm really confused. I think it should be noted a hard reset does nothing to fix this. Insight appreciated.

Also, an idea here: In the instance that it actually IS buggy apps, would there be a way to upload common problems under each app's description in the installer so that people can be aware of potential issues when downloading?

Okay, my issue is resolved! Apparently there was more than one place in the settings related to battery/memory optimization. Thanks for the suggestions! Glad it's working--I hate to have to choose between a great phone and a great watch :D

Okay, so for a few hours, I had zero connection problems, but after that, I've had to reconnect about four times in the past 3 hours. So no dice.

What phone do you have?

The Hisense A5, an e-ink smartphone that recently came out in China.

Could you maybe try removing the watch from Gadgetbridge, and trying again without choosing to pair when prompted?

I just tried it. We shall see. I didn't even know that was possible to connect without pairing. I'll post again in later today if this resolves the issue.

If you have Android this might be the battery optimization.

I actually did go into the optimization settings and removed Gadgetbridge, and simply forgot to mention that in my earlier post. Thanks for bringing it up, though, as it's an important point to mention for others with a similar issue.
