1.11.3 09/14/2018
New Features and Improvements
* Much-improved Bluetooth connection stability, and faster scanning for devices.
* New alarm-notification layouts are more descriptive, now showing the name of the alarm.
* The LifeBand charging status is reported to LifeHub.
* If a connected LifeBand is charging, this will now be displayed within the app.
* Improved network connectivity checking & stability.
* Added Mongolian Language support.
Known Issues
* This version requires corresponding updates to LifeHub 3.5 to be applied prior to upgrading. LifeHub 4 is fully compatible.
* One known Bluetooth connection issue remains unresolved. The LifeBand connects but the app doesn't register the connection correctly and displays no fatigue levels. This will be resolved in 1.12. We judged that there is a very low chance of this occuring and that we should not delay the release of the completed Bluetooth stability and performance improvements any longer. The risk of this issue occuring can be further reduced by ensuring that the app is not set to Manual connection.
* The Communications Settings diagnostics screen is only available on devices which do support satellite modem comms.
1.11.2 09/05/2018
Display Dimming
The Life App can now dim the display during operation and light only on key events such as alarms or a driver disconnecting their LifeBand. An Enable Dimming toggle is available in the General settings to control this feature. An additional setting for dimming will control how long the Life App will keep the display lit after a band disconnects.
Auto Connection of LifeBands
When a LifeBand is selected for connection, the Life App will enable Automatic Connection to the band in future. It is no longer necessary to enable the Auto Connect option.
Fixes and Changes
