When I put my machine to sleep it wakes up almost immediately afterwards, I have turned off the wake for keyboard and mouse. Turned off wake on LAN and even unplugged the network cable. The only USB device plugged in is the mouse/keyboard - I did one test unplugging the keyboard/mouse after...

I have posted on this topic before. I think that the band underestimates for general living/activities and over estimates for exercise. One data point that gave me pause (tied to the quote above) - I was on vacation for a week and didn't take the band. I wore it again when I got back. I played...

I posted some other references on an old post. But here is one: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199910283411804 Basically the greater the spread between the ending HR and the 1 and/or 2 minute HR the better the fitness level.

I too don't always get the readings. I think it depends on what you are doing directly post workout and if it can get a good HR lock. Recovery HR is a great indicator of overall health and I love this feature (when it works).

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 tried the band against several other fitness trackers -polar loop, basis, surge (see my other posts for head to head comparisons). So far I am sticking with the Band. It has the best overall feature set. I think with all current fitness devices you need to take accuracy with a grain of salt...

I noticed that as well.

I stopped using workout mode for tennis as I felt it really over reported.

Do you have it in workout mode? In workout mode I think it over reports. In regular mode I think it under reports. Although I am trying an experiment... When you click on the button, in addition to bringing up the display, it takes a HR reading (I think it used to do this on inbound...

My band seemed to account for non workout activities well (I.e. Tennis), but since the latest update -not so much. I played doubles tennis for 3 1/2 hours this morning and my total burn for the day at noon was under 1000 calories..

Make sure you have the band set to automatically adjust time from your phone.

I found the HR to be odd after the update. I did a band reset and that seems to.have helped.

Both work - I use Whatsapp and get notifications from it there. Also it works with my car BT whilst connected to the band. David

I believe all the cool reply features are limited to Windows phones (for now?)

I too have noticed a huge battery improvement since the last update. I had the band at 80% in the morning. I used it for two workouts and a lot of notifications, slept with it and in the morning it was at 50% when I charged it.
