    Guided Workouts - system error

    I have started getting the same thing when I try to sync a golf course. These are golf courses that I could sync / download just fine a month ago, but now I get the same error message you are getting. Oddly, after trying a few times a day for several days two weeks ago, the course I was trying...

    Band 2 and Android?

    I don't quite know what "sync with Cortana Android app" you mean. It does sync emails, calendar events, texts, phone calls, etc. Also allows keyboard responses to texts from the Band (which I believe is still missing from Apple devices). If you mean does it allow you to open the Cortana app on...

    Band 2 with Android

    As a quick update: Got the notification that Android 7 (Nougat) was available for download on my Nexus 5x yesterday. Downloaded the update last night, was also notified on the latest Band update and did that too. Since then..........no more duplicate emails on my Band 2 :grin:

    Band 2 with Android

    I used Windows phone since the days of Windows mobile. Moved over to a Nexus 5x about two months ago. Rather than a review of my personal pro's and con's between Android and Windows (and there are, for me, many pro's and just as many con's), I'll just stick to the Band 2 and Android for this...

    Text option disappeared from my contact.

    Let me guess: The $1 million check you will be giving me you'll draw from my own account?

    Worth exchanging for bad HR sensor?

    Also try wearing it with the screen facing out. Ready this thread that has some of my experiments and thoughts: http://forums.windowscentral.com/microsoft-band-2/393185-band-2-heart-rate-issues-when-using-any-fitness-app.html

    Do a phone reset. I will bet you $1 million that the text option will return :-) Also, it may help if you post your OS version too.....may help others to diagnose and offer advice. FYI.....Just mail me the $1 million check. I think you already have my address ;-)

    Dropped calls?

    Perhaps your husband has some ideas.....I have heard he is quite brilliant, and if you ask him he might suggest you become a Microsoft Insider and try a different os version. I can't really imagine what he would say, him being brilliant and all that, but it might be along those lines?

    Wallet 2.0 with NFC Tap to Pay is now rolling out to Windows 10 Mobile Fast Ring (US only)

    I am on 950, AT&T, Fast Ring, and I can't get Wallet 2.0 Strange thing is I have Wallet, but I cannot uninstall it, and if I search the store, only the same installed Wallet comes up, but it says it is not compatible with my device. Really strange.....

    4/1 update - get rid of social tile?

    Yeah.....I hate the fact that it has to be through Facebook. What year is it: "Facebook"? I have multiple friends that use the Band that I'd like to have the ability to compare stats with, but I am not (and don't ever want to be) connected to them via Facebook. The whole having to connect via...

    The Lumia 650 is a downgrade from the 640

    My observations indicate that the direction of the icon that represents you changes based off forward motion, and not any compass. Based off GPS movement and not compass at all. Every smart phone I have had that has a compass built in, only rotates the map once it figures out the direction I am...

    Heart rate reporting too high when running

    I can't answer that since I typically run in the evenings......and the rest of the time when I golf, or just wear the Band in casual, I wear it with the screen on the inside (UV sensor on the outside). But logic says that it would be off a little with the UV sensor on the inside of the wrist.
