Where do we get the zip for this update?

Just started working odd

So just updated to v15 (don't think it is related but just saying I am up to date).
When I try to connect to the app manager play the can't connect (web) or I get a message saying that " device failed to connect. Programmable might be off" (with app).
Make sure that the programmable setting in Bluetooth is on and I have also made sure that location is turned on on my phone as well as Bluetooth. The gadget Bridge - bangle app is a working app as I can send messages to the bangle etc but it just won't connect to the app manager.
Personally, I think this is probably due to having to cancel the update of the messenger app via the app. It was working before that but afterwards, it kept coming up with this error.
Any suggestions would be welcome happy to reinstall things but not sure how to do that without connecting to the app manager.

That worked thanks

I have been using the Gadgetbridge app on the bangle 1 and it was working well but as recommended I removed it and tried to use the Android Integration app instead now.
However, I can seem to get it to link to my phone Gadgetbridge. I have tried removing the old connection and redoing it but despise the bangle coming up in the list of devices it will not pair.
Am I missing something?

Yeah I would also love to have this working.
What is the app called on Bgl2?

Yeah maybe to old version of Multiclock let you swipe thought clock faces.
Guess I will just make one and maybe post it when I am done, if other might find it useful

I swear there was an app that let you swipe between clock faces (as in clock faces already loaded onto the bangle, I know there is an app that let you swipe between faces you can add in the code), However, I can't find it anywhere?
There is a random clock face loader so I know you can do it but before I started coding I just wanted to make sure this was not a fever dream?

Thanks, all working now

I think this could be due to so error during the update as I got a error flash up saying something like "app default alarm already updating data".
Either way I can't remember how to reset all the apps etc without getting past the boot screen?
Any help?
Thanks

What will be the main reasons for upgrading? More RAM and better LCD? looks cool will keep a eye out for the kickstarter

very cool :-)

Is there a new Bangle.js? :-)

Not 100% if this helps but what version of the firmware are you running on the bangle?

I am sure it was 2V08.208 but I could have done it before you did the update.
Either way long-pressing BTN1+2 solve my issue :-)
Thanks

Hey
Not a big issue but wanted to see if others are getting this too.
I updated my bangle to the 2v08.208 in order to play around with the new Gadgetbridge Music Controls app and found that when I turn off the bangle via the function in the setting menu it seems to just restart?
Could there be some "start-up" commanded that is being triggered?
I like having it off during the pandemic so would love if this function came back at some ponit

I was wanting to add a fire gif, just have it flicker etc.
I know how to load images but did not know if the same would work for a gif?
Would I have to do it like a video or load individually frames?
It is not meant to be a big part of the app so don't want it to be a massive memory requirement.
Thanks,

Thanks that is just what I needed.

So I want to find the time between two times.
The best way I have seen to do this is to just work out diff between two Date types i.e.
dif old_Date - New Date();
To do this I need to make an old_Date but I am not sure what the format really is on the bangle for date.
sorry if this is a simple question. I don't normally code in java.

Awesome, I will get working and make sure I do a full write up and email it to gw@pur3.co.uk when I have it all done. Thank you

I was thinking today of also adding information (like weather) that the app would pull from a gadgetbridge connection, but that might something I add latterly as I would need to spend some time looking at how gadgetbridge works etc as I don't believe such info would be stored on the app for other apps to get as so likely have to make my own version of the current weather app and honestly I just look out the window mostly right now so the weather is not an issue for me :-P

I think I get what you mean.
I have been working on setting up my bangle as I kind of "bedside clock" by modifying code from a few different projects and a bit of my own.
Basically, it would
1) Automatically start when the watch is placed in the charging dock (I made my own dock as well that I could show but the one on your website is likely better)
2) Show the current time and widgets with new rotated screen orientation.
3) Show on the time till sunrise (or sunset if day time), with a little sun/moon that moves around the semy circle based on the time till rising.
4) show the time till the next alarm, if any set on the bangle.

would that kind of thing be useful/interesting for this?
I am also looking at setting up an NFC tag on the bangle so that it will auto startup all the connection on my phone when I put them together in the morning but that seems far too much of a "1. Install, 2. Press some buttons, 3. enjoy" problem to be worth this kind of thing.
Probably will still write that one up on the foram anyway sometimes.

This can't be a project for the bangle.js can it?

Good point thank you

Thanks @BenJabituya.
Looking at your very cool clock, I assume that you are getting the GPS (when not already saved) from ...

Bangle.on('GPS', function (g) {
    if (g.fix) {
        astral_settings.lat = g.lat;
        astral_settings.lon = g.lon;
        astral_settings.astral_default = false;
        config_file = require("Storage").open("astral.config.t­xt", "w");
        config_file.write(JSON.stringify(astral_­settings));
    }

I have never worked with bangles GPS so trying to workout the best way to call the lat/lon without scrwing something up and calling the GPS all the time or something lol
