When it comes to what I recommend to people who come into the MS store to purchase, I try to remind people that they may be happy with a 4GB RAM device at first, but if they are someone who plans to keep the device for multiple years, it may be best to purchase the device that will likely better...

Just a heads up that I was at my local Microsoft Store yesterday for an event and checking out the Surface Studio and a friend who has worked there since the store opened and he said they received an email that day stating that the Band 2 is officially end of life. Have a damaged one that needs...

5% overnight loss is pretty good these days.

I got the same email about the survey. Odd thing is that I got mine from Microsoft via the Lumia Home Trials back in December. So one, I did not buy it and two, I never returned it. I'm going to do the survey and rail on them for dragging their feet on the firmware updates. Posted via the...

I would personally rather Microsoft push the latest firmware and OS updates to the WRT server so that those of us who understand the risk we are taking could install as we like. Only people who follow the smartphone scene here, and other sites such as this, like we do even know about the WRT...

These are more than likely software issues you, I, and many others are experiencing. It's like a steakhouse bringing you a live cow when you order a steak medium. Nowhere near done sadly.

Re: Skin temperature Sorry for the late reply, but yes when taking a temperature under the arm for example, you must add a degree for the right reading.

Going to have to see if my friend will make me one of the round stands. Really like it. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android

I prefer the Band 2 to my LG G Watch with my Nexus 6P even without voice control. Just a nicer overall experience for my needs. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android

Been awhile since I have used a Band with a Windows Phone and I am not even sure it can do that what you are looking for on those devices much less on Android. The Band is more an extension of the device it is paired to with notifications, and dismissal of notifications being a one way street...

Another app I have recently discovered, is the Microsoft Band Media Controls which allows you to do the following from your Band: Play Pause Skip tracks forward and backwards Turn the volume up and down Locate your phone by setting off its ringer. Took a few tries to get it to control Pocket...

Sweet, thanks for the tip that should have been obvious to me ;-). Posted via the Windows Central App for Android

I have been using the Yahoo Sports app and it sends me notifications about teams I am following. When you have the Notification Center tile on your Band, any notification that you would see on your phone comes through in that tile.

I am using mine with a Nexus 6 on Android 6.0.

After using it now since Friday when I received it, I am very happy with the level of notifications I get with it. One thing I was surprised to see was when using Google Maps to navigate to a new place it notified me each tenth of a mile as we got closer. Not then end of the world, but sort of...

I had a large Band 1 with the clasp in the middle because the medium was too tight for my comfort. For Band 2, I went with medium and the clasp is right about in the middle for me so the new design is quite a bit larger IMO. But in a good way. Via the Windows Central app on the Nexus 6

I'm going face up to start. Have not been on my main computer since I got it and set it up though. The larger palmrest of my MacBook Pro compared to my Lenovo Thinkpad will somewhat determine which way I wear it. Via the Windows Central app on the Nexus 6

Wondering if anyone else is using a Band 2 with an Android device like I am. I used my Band 1 with my Android devices at the time and had no issues with it, but it's nice to see how easy Microsoft has made it to set up with any phone. Also the Microsoft Health app has come along nicely since I...

I'm glad I went and tried Band 2 on. Was able to go with a medium this time around instead of a large. Clasp is about in the middle for me. Via the Windows Central app on the Nexus 6
