I did buy the Band 2 a little over a year ago, and it is proving to be very helpful indeed for tracking my afib. As an example, this is a monitored night of normal sleep yesterday: This is a night of irregular heartrate, the difference is obvious, and the Band clearly shows me when my episode...

For anyone else searching this problem, I had the same issue with the Band 2 running on Windows Phone. I had not pre-installed the app, but the solution was the same, I uninstalled Microsoft Health, re-installed it, and my Band 2 updated properly. All is fine now.

I absolutely HATE clickbait posts

UPDATE: I got a brand-spanking new Lumia 830 for Xmas, love it, but guess what? I've been spending the better part of today, and I'm not done yet, correcting YET ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE "PICTURES 1" PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This time, I didn't catch it quickly enough and now have...

I had posted a similar question on Microsoft Community and was also told that different regions will work. Digging a bit deeper, however, I found Xbox Music Pass documentation which clarifies that as incorrect: Xbox Music allows you to listen to music when you travel for up to two weeks. After...

I am aware that it is not a continuous reading, but I'm looking for confirmation that, while the HR is normal, the Band will record it successfully as normal and that "abnormal" readings from afib will not render those readings useless. Note that afib can last for days, with hours of normal HR...

There are zero pictures on my phone itself. I have "storage sense" set to "SD card" for "where to store your music, photos, apps, and more", which as noted in my post above, could be part of the problem since that is when "Pictures 1" starts to propagate. The fix is to use my WP OneDrive app to...

More analysis after spending 24 hrs fixing "Pictures 1" in OneDrive... This issue is likely caused by normal use of my Lumia 620, the same problem does not occur when I use my Surface 2 or Surface Pro 2 to take pictures or take screenshots or download photos. "Pictures 1" will propagate in...

Has anyone had any experience using the Band while in afib (atrial fibrillation)? Are the readings accurate or at least helpful? I provide this information manually now, to my physician, but would prefer to use a monitor and to determine when and for how long I'm in afib. Even if the HR is not...

Thanks but I prefer a one-cloud solution, and OneDrive has the integration and features I need, and for the right price. I can fix my problem by correcting wrongly-placed files/folders on my Lumia, but I cannot prevent the problem from happening again next time I manually save or upload a file...

I have had this issue posted in <cough>useless<cough> Microsoft Community for over a year now, and have yet to resolve it. And I'm not the only one, this issue has persisted through the 8 to 8.1 upgrades and the SkyDrive to OneDrive evolution, and the intro of the Developer Preview. It has...

Has anyone had any experience using the Band while in afib (atrial fibrillation)? I have a need to easily monitor my heart rate, and to determine when and for how long I'm in afib. I'm hoping the Band will do the job for me.

I have the opposite problem... I'm trying to use the desktop WPC site on my Surface 2 via desktop IE, but it keeps redirecting me to "m.wpcentral". On these forums, there is an option at the bottom for "Full Site", so why not on the News pages?

I am in USA at the moment, and would love to pick up the 1520 before I return to Canada. Is there any US model that would work on Telus because, you know, they are not exactly leading when it comes to WP8. Thanx.
