It has integrated GPS so I dont need to bring my phone to track my exercise.

I realize that there may be some tech you can share such as whats involved in patent disputes, but at least open the parts of the code that provide basic functionality for hackers to work with.

This is a great thing to use for things such as calendar notifications or timer on your phone.

I did a hard reset on my band as it wasnt charging correctly.

Try to pace the presses at about about one press every second.

As I mentioned before, it wont track steps or sleep, or allow you to connect to a jawbone account, however you need this to pair your UP24 band to your phone.

Open the app and click through the screens (dont try to sign or log in as it wont work, their servers are turned off) but youll eventually come to a point where you need to pair the device as shown in the video below.

This worked for me with no problem at all and without having to log in.

This app does cost 1.79, but given that you can get the device Stefano Brilli documented the process of building this app on his blog.

CLick that, then select which apps you want to be able to push notifications to the band.

This is truly recycling in the sense that youre ReUsing (reduce, reuse, recycle).

LIke other forms of recycling, its a bit of a downgrade of the bands once glorious functionality, but at least now youve given it a second life.

SInce you cant access the jawbone app, Im not sure how thats possible.

If you figure it out, or have any other hacks for these little guys, feel free to post them in the comments.

This is a great basic step counter and heart rate tracker and when paired with your phone can map your exercises using the phones GPS.

It tracks heart rate constantly and does a great job of detecting how well youve slept (showing you a chart with deep sleep, REM, and showing how many times you were awake or restless in the night).

The heart rate tracker can also estimate cardio fitness score, a measure of how healthy you are overall.

Jawbone Up24 App Full Android Device

This is a full android device that can make cell phone calls and has Svoice (Samsungs version of Siri) which I found worked well.

It has built-in apps for heart rate, GPS tracking of exercises.

The Heart rate monitoring isnt constant, rather it can be set to measure when you are still for a programmable period of time (sucha s 10 or 30 minutes).

It doesnt have a native sleep tracker app so I tried a couple apps I downloaded.

Most of the apps available for the phone are actually just watch faces which is disappointing.

I love that this watch was waterproof so I could shower and swim with it, and the wireless charging feature.

Eventually I got rid of it though because it had to be recharged every day.

I got it used so maybe the previous owner had messed up the battery.
