Microsoft Band & Hey Cortana

[Jesse Sasso]

Just preordered the Band and was wondering if Hey Cortana still works as it should while the Band is connected. Would the microphone for listening be the Band's? Or will it stay the phones, and the Band just works with Cortana when the button is held. :S

I just tested it out by yelling at my band about 10 times while my phone was in another room and had no success.

Not surprised as this feature is trained and setup on the phone itself. However, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of them adding it to the band in the future. I'm not aware of a reason why it wouldn't be possible.

Hey Cortana doesn't work with the band as it should with the Lumia 930 denim update. You have to press the small action button on the right and hold it for Cortana to activate.
