Hacks?

[Bull94]

Are there any Microsoft band hacks yet?

No? What exactly did you want to hack?

Getting features to work with the iPhone.

Lol sorry it took me so long to reply... but... Eh I don't see how you would be able to do this.. Maybe someone over at xda could do it with an android phone, but iphone?

The problem is that the hacks your asking for require base level access and MS only has that with WP obviously.. however in the latest #askdan episode, Daniel Rubino did say that MS want to bring more feature to the other platforms and there looking into it, but it isn't easy

I'm not sure what features you are asking for. Could you be a bit more detailed?

Also, users of iPhone on iMore or general wearable fans on Connectedly might have more pointed advice. Your Passport that logs you in here also works on both those sites.

Sorry I assumed nobody was going to answer lol. I'm just asking for example getting the text keyboard to work, or getting the band to activate siri, and maybe control music.

All that would be really nice but I heard it's impossible. It would be nice to at least create a messenger app and allow everyone to use the keyboard. Maybe support facebook messenger or something.

Meh unless Apple gives MS access to the core level of those phones it won't happen. iOS has siri, so there's no way they'd play "nice" and allow Cortana to have full integration

I can think of two really cool programs I'd use:
- the ICE tile. if you get injured you can press a tile and your phone will send off a text to your "in case of emergency" contract.
- also a way to dictate a message into onenote in the cloud while I'm running - I have some great ideas when I pump lots of air into my system.
