If in range and connected your phone should start ringing.

Find My Bangle

Onyour phone Settings, App/Widget Settings, Gadgetbridge, Find Phone, On

If in range and connected your phone should start ringing.

Activity reporting

You'll need a Gadgetbridge release after version 0.50.0 for Actvity Reporting to be enabled.

By default heart rate isn't reported, but it can be enabled from Settings, App/Widget Settings, Gadgetbridge, Record HRM

Troubleshooting

1. Switch to using one of the stock watch faces like s7clk or wave on a Bangle 2.

2. Check that the battery charge level is being seen by the Gadgetbridge App on the phone. This proves that data is getting to your phone.

You can test the notifications on the Bangle

First disconnect from Gadgetbridge on your phone. Then connect through the IDE and enter the following code. You should get a pop up screen on your Bangle. This proves that the watch is correctly setup for notifications.

GB({"t":"notify","id":1575479849,"src":"Hangouts","title":"A Name","body":"message contents"})

NOTE: On a Bangle 2, this will fail if you have not installed 'Notifications Fullscreen'.

Check that notifications are getting through to your Bangle

• Disconnect your Bangle from Gadgetbridge on your phone.

• Connect through the IDE

• Run the following bit of code

    var log = [];
    function GB(d) {
      log.push(JSON.stringify(d));
    }
  

• Disconnect from the IDE

• Connect your Bangle to Gadgetbridge

• Call your phone to get a missed call

• Disonnect your Bangle to Gadgetbridge

• Connect through the IDE

• Run the following bit of code

    log;
  

If notifications are getting through then you should see something like.

    >log
    =[
      "{\"t\":\"call\",\"cmd\"" ... "r\":\"0191xxxxxxx\"}",
      "{\"t\":\"call\",\"cmd\"" ... "r\":\"0191xxxxxxx\"}"
     ]

IMPORTANT: Now reset your Bangle using a BTN3 long press so that the GB() function is restored.
