Band update: bike workout, band keyboard and new scrolling messages

[teemulehtinen]

It may be too early to say much about it, but it seems to me that the updated band is slightly more conservative both in terms of caloric burn (both exercise mode and the 24h monitoring m?de) than before as well as in terms of steps?

Anybody know if the new keyboard functionality will work on Android?

Doesn't work on mine. :unhappy:

My guess is the same as others - an issue with the word prediction API.

For Android, you go into the Play Store and update the app. After that, and with a bit of prodding, the app will update the firmware in the Band. New release: 10.2.2610.0 09 R

I'd imagine that iPhone and Windows would be similar.

My Band updated to10.2.2610.0 09 R but I don't see any bike tile or any other difference.

Just checking: Did you actually go into the "manage tiles" section and add it to your band? Or did it not show up as an option there.

Right. With the upgrade, the tile becomes available in the Heath app. You then have to add it to the tiles on your band before you can see/use it.

Excuse me if I'm the last to figure this out, but I just realized on the Dashboard if I go to either Calories or Sleep, there's an "Observations" option at the top. Click on it and...
