They fixed it! It is finally searchable by name in the app store.

Last time I looked I didn't have access to the Action button callbacks. I would use it in my current app for sure if I could!! Its true my idea could probably work now, but it would be way better as an Activity. Then I dont even have to have my phone with me. Plus I would want to use the swipe...

This is so neat being able to communicate with a developer directly on the band team. Can I ask if it will ever be allowed for outside developers to create activities on the Band? I have a great idea for a Band app and would love to implement it, but it would require an activity screen. I'm a...

Thanks! Glad you like it! I know about it not being searchable by name. I have a support ticket with Microsoft for them to look into it.

I completely understand what you are saying. I think that giving developers a memory limit to stay under and reserving X heap for custom dialogs would be a viable solution. I had a heck of a time trying to figure out custom layouts and why they would work sometimes and not other times (when they...

I would like to join. I love the windows platform and enjoy developing for it. I currently develop for windows, windows phone, band, and soon hololens. I have been developing apps for many years and have popular apps on iphone and android platform as well. I am most excited about an app for Band...

This has been the fix for my wife as well. Now that she wipes it down after each work out, and cleans it occasionally with wet wipes, she hasnt experienced any rashes developing.

Chancy Band is a true random number generator that uses the various sensors from Microsoft Band in order to create strong randomness, then displays the results on the Band. There are many fun and useful purposes for which random numbers can be used, for example when playing a game or in...

I personally like the keyboard. I find it very fast and convinient to type out quick replies. I would love the ability as a developer to send custom layout notifications. I am an app developer and use custom layouts on the Band, but when I set a page to my tile using a custom layout, the user...

Can you recall finding any bite marks on your neck recently? In seriousness, try switching which side of your wrist you wear it. Maybe your veins arent detectable on one side of your wrist. I have had no problems with Band detecting my HR.

the little circle on the screen is the ambient light sensor, so ya, tell them not to cover it.

The band 1 gave me a rash as well as my wife. I have yet to develop a rash with the band 2, despite wearing it nearly all day every day. My wife, who exercises and wears her band to the gym, everyday, has started to get a rash. Maybe she just needs to wipe it down more frequently after sweating...

I noticed the swing count not working as well. It worked so well on the Band 1 and I was excited to play a round with my new Band 2. Pretty disappointing. I havent played since the update, but heres hoping they fixed stroke counting.

Ive had mine since day one. I wear it pretty much for 23 hrs of every day. I work a desk job and go wear it while at the gym. It occasionally get banged on doors and stuff. I has held up pretty well. I dont notice any scratches on the glass but the rubber band is starting to show some wear and...

Ohh! I love this wall paper! brb, setting this as my background.
