Band 2 and Windows 10 Fast Ring Preview?

[Blake Seaman]

Loving my band, but am having some issues with Cortana and syncing. Texts have about a 50/50 chance of working, or giving some kind of error (make sure phone is close, lets go to your phone to finish this, etc.). Looking up simple things and setting reminders is much the same. I discovered I greatly improve the accuracy by unlocking the phone on my desk first, but this kind of defeats the purpose of the band. I imagine some of this must be because of Windows 10 Preview, but I'm curious if anyone else is having some issues with their bands and the preview?

About same. But it's much improved over the other builds. I do have the band 2 though

I'm having a lot of so. I have Lumia 1020 and am running build 10581.
Things I've noticed:

• The phone must be unlocked and the Microsoft Health app must be open in order to bring the text reply keyboard.
• If the Health app is not running the Band simply says "Connecting" for a while then times out
• Cortana never seems to activate (just says it could not connect to the phone)
