As I mentioned before, it won’t 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. (via )ĭoing a hard reset will wipe all saved data from the device, but since Jawbone’s servers are down and likely for the count, I don’t think that matters much. Once you see the light, let go of the button.
On the 10th press, PRESS + HOLD the button for 15 FULL SECONDS, or until the sun status light appears. Try to pace the presses at about about one press every second. To hard reset your band, please follow these steps: I did a hard reset on my band as it wasn’t charging correctly. The next step is to fix the band if you need to. YOu can’t buy them from stores anymore though.
If you don’t currently have a jawbone device, you can get them online second hand pretty easily and for practically nothing nowadays. Here’s my journey into getting these things to work. This is a great thing to use for things such as calendar notifications or timer on your phone.
As a plea to all companies, especially those with millions of devices already in the market, please open your designs to the public if your company is dying!!! Otherwise all those devices are going to end up in landfills even though they still have the ability to work. I realize that there may be some tech you can’ share such as what’s involved in patent disputes, but at least open the parts of the code that provide basic functionality for hackers to work with!įor the Jawbone UP24 bands I have, I did some googling and found someone who wrote an app that allows the UP bands to vibrate when your phone gets notifications which still works even after Jawbone’s API has been taken offline. I think it’s a damn shame that even while the company is dying with no hope of saving it, they haven’t open sources their hardware/software. The app no longer works for tracking steps or sleep, you can’t create new accounts or anything anymore. Having gotten a couple Jawbone Up24 devices a few years ago for dirt cheap (<$10 each used) I thought it was a great deal, until Jawbone shut down their servers recently.
