For those of you hoping to get your Band 2 to work with your 950 XL,think again....
Spent time with MS on the phone today and they said that the 950XL is not yet supported! OMG
Also they cant tell us when it is going to be supported....
Is this some sort of a joke? MS needs to either come out and say they dont give a damn about this new phone so that we can move on, or go ahead and support your OWN PRODUCTS!!! How hard is it?
I hate IOS and Android....but I'm afraid I'm starting to lose my patience after 5 years......:angry:
I had issues with my Band 1, and posted a fix on the forum, but can't post links yet, so I will post the Title and repost the link here, in the hopes that it will work for Band 2 as well.
Microsoft Band 1 sync issues with 950XL
I was having issues with my Microsoft Band 1 and the 950XL I just got. It worked from the Band to the phone, but not the other way. I was not getting the nice txt and email messages, couldn't reply to txt with Cortana, nothing. So I unregistered my band, removed the MS Health App, restored my band, turned it back on, reinstalled the app, and it saw my Band right away, but wouldn't pair. And I couldn't get the Band to "reset" again, and thought I was screwed. I got on the Band Chat Support, and talked to someone who tried their best, but just said I had to reset the phone, or I could go into a MS Store and get a new Band.
I was about to take them up on the offer, but thought, while I was waiting for them to get back to me, that I would check my Bluetooth connections, to make sure it was turned on and such. And there, I saw the Band was there, paired. So, I removed that from my saved Bluetooth devices, went back into Health to Add Device, and there it was, a new icon, and it then SEARCHED for my device, found it, and set everything up great. Now everything goes back and forth, I can reply via Cortana to txts, but for some reason, I can't initiate the txt from my Band. I can only reply to them. But, maybe that gets fixed later. Not that big a concern for me.
So, if you are finding that you are having issues with your Band 1 or probably Band 2, give this a try and see if it helps you too. I hope it does.
