So I installed the November 1st update (v3.1.9) a day or two ago and all seemed good. Warnings about the tracker being low on power came up (happens roughly every 3-3.5 days for me) and I thought nothing of it being dead a few hours later since sometimes it throws the warning nearly a day early and sometimes it's about 6 hours before the screen only shows the "no charge" indicator. So I put it on the charger for an hour or so until it's full and everything seems fine. I pull it off of the charger and 2 minutes later I get an progress bar that seems to be in the middle of the firmware update process. "Strange", I think as the device is an older model and 18.128 seems like it was the last firmware update. Some 45 minutes later it's still stuck there. After a few more hours the battery's dead.
So I repeat the process to the same results. I follow the procedure to reset the device, the procedure to remove it and re-add it, and others found in the various forums and the result is always the same; the Charge HR charges up fine, operates fine for 2-3 minutes, then decides to "Update", hang during that process, and drain its battery in a few hours.
I'm not sure if anyone has had this problem as I might be the last person around using a 1st gen Charge HR (this one is actually my 2nd one since the band de-laminated badly on the last one), but it still works well for what I need it to do. I suspect that the Android client update may have something to do with this issue, but I'm not 100% sure.
