Some days it feels like Jawbone has gotten what they wanted technology wise and completely abandoned ship with the BodyMedia. :grumble:0 -
I have a personal story...The company I work for was bought out by a larger company. They phased out most of our award winning products and replaced them with cheap knockoffs and are closing my plant. I will be out of a job at the end of March...This thing with Body Media and Jawbone hits home with me. It totally sucks...It all comes down to money when these things happen. Who the F cares about the customer!!!!0

That's the first thing i thought of when i heard Jawbone bought the company. A friend of mine has the JawboneUp24..i just don't care for it..but it looks like i will have to find something soon. Whatever it is it will not be a Jawbone just for this reason.

Mine does that if I plug it in when my computer isn't on an active screen, I just have to replug when my computer wakes up, but sometimes it just refuses to sync and I have to reinstall the sync, like once a week lately...0 -
the bad part is that you can no longer by extra straps for the bodymedia armband online so essentially if your strap gets worn a well working product is no longer useful and you'll have no choice but to switch to another tracker....shows that you can purchase straps online but you get an error upon checkout....disappointing
CHECKOUT
An unexpected error occurred. Please go back and try again.
Thank you for your interest in BodyMedia. We are no longer selling the BodyMedia line of products but will continue to support current users with the Activity Manager services.
Along with the rest of the Jawbone team, we look forward to bringing you innovative products. You can find more information about the UP family of products here:0 -
they can take my monthly subscription fee from 2012 to present, but won't sell me an extra strap???

Yeah, I noticed that today! What crap! I mean... the accessories should still be for sale if anything. Straps wear out, snap, break, whatever... I'd be forced to shelf a perfectly good tracker and buy a new one from Jawbone. NOPE.0

Wow so much for customer service. Like i said before when i buy i new tracker it will not be from them0
-
They are probably sitting around in a warehouse somewhere collecting dust, instead of being sold.0
-
exactly - I sent a support an email and they gave me a brief message no longer carrying BM line of products. Nice

I even wrote to Jawbone customer service asking them about the issues with the Bodymedia not syncing with MFP. I told them about how long it had been and asked if they planned to still support this product since they bought the company. They sent back a reply saying i should call BodyMedia..0

Yes, I am getting this error also. BodyMedia/Jawbone customer service was not helpful at all. They said it was a problem with my computer. I've tried on three different machines with the same result.0 -
I have come to the sad reality that they just don't care anymore.0
-
I'm getting the error about updates now too. It's still syncing my data so I don't care for the moment, but just shows that they are taking as much of our monthly fees as they can with no effort to maintain the relationship with our band that we've had...

This is freaking sad.... I think I am going to start weaning myself from my band and going with my TDEE from my data in the past year. At least they still have that for now. SMDH0

I canceled my subsciption yesterday. They sent me an email saying they were sorry to see me leave and wanted to know why..so i wrote back and told them but i doubt they even read those..it's probably some form email they send out. I will be looking into another tracker..0
