Band Update

[dan.booth]

My band just picked up an update, but on first look I can't spot anything new. I'm in the UK, can't be a coincidence that the Band gets it's UK launch tomorrow. Build version now showing as 10.2.2818.0 09 R. Anybody know what's in the update?

Yes me too. I am from France. I don't see any difference.

Same here (US). Likely a bug fix. I do not see any functional differences.

What OS are you using? I'm android and still on 10.2.26120 90 R

EDIT
I stand corrected. Mine just updated. Still nothing in the change log.

I hope it fixes my time issues, but somehow doubt it...

Last week, I saw a comment wishing that the alarm would work while in sleep tracking mode. I thought my Band already did this, but the other person swore that it didn't. I couldn't test it at the time because my Band had been sent in for warranty.

I got my replacement Band two days ago and received this new firmware update before I could start using it. My alarm went off this morning while in sleep tracking mode. If this wasn't a feature before, it might be one of the updates, but I still think that other commenter was wrong about the alarm not working in sleep tracking mode.

That was already a feature since the very first update last december. Using it since. You just have to set the alarm before going into sleep mode...or pause sleep tracking and turn alarm to on mode. Basically..just have your alarm set to On and it will work in sleep tracking mode.

More on topic for the thread... I haven't seen new features. I work in software development and it was likely the globalization update being pushed to the band (unit conversions, languages, etc) But no confirmation yet.

My experience is that if the alarm is set on your phone, then it won't get pushed to the Band during sleep tracking. If you set the alarm on the Band itself, then it will go off during sleep tracking.
