Upgrading Paths (As of SleepBot Android 3.0)

At SleepBot we strive our best to be compatible with as many phones as possible, but sometimes we have to drop support for the older platforms in order to add certain new features. ​

Some of you may notice that on the market page of SleepBot for Android, you see that the version section says "varies by device".  That's because SleepBot have three versions available on the market to allow upgrades. 

For Android 2.2 and ​above users: You may install SleepBot for Android 3.0 with no problem.

For Android 2.1 users or Amazon Kindle users, you will see SleepBot 2.1.1 on your phone. This version is no longer supported, but you can use local backup sync the data that you already have and restore them when you get a 2.2+ phone. For sync, we will maintain beta.mysleepbot.com to support 2.1 users until October 2013, after that, beta.mysleepbot.com will be shutdown and all the traffic will go through www.mysleepbot.com  

For Android 1.6 -> 2.0 users, ​you will see SleepBot 1.9.3 on your phone. Sync is not on this version, however, you may use local backup on SleepBot 1.93, and then when you get a 2.2+ phone, you can restore them via local restore.

Our biggest release on Android...yet

Hey SleepBot-er's, we have just released SleepBot for Android 3.0. We have worked on this new version for the past year to integrate some of the most requested features and keep it up to date to support new devices. Here are some of the highlights that I want to share with everyone:

New Features

  • Beautiful new UI to give it a more modern look. 
  • ​Smart Alarm: want SleepBot to wake you up at an optimal time?
  • Movement Tracking: record your movement when you are sleeping. 
  • Sound Recording: record sound when you are sleeping.
  • URI API Support: Allow you to make SleepBot respond to NFC/QR Code request, simply make it point to "sb://any", "sb://sleep", or "sb://wake" to punch in. Also keep in mind that if you use Tasker, you can do so much more with SleepBot.​
  • Whole new resources and tips that will help you sleep better!
  • Re-organized settings that will make you less confused when choosing the best settings for your SleepBot. We want to keep it simple yet powerful. 

Bug Fixes

Added proper support for Android 4.1 and 4.2 devices: due to API changes, many functions on SleepBot are fundamentally broken, and this release we are bringing all of them back:  

  • Turning Mobile Data Off: airplane mode is no longer supported on Android 4.2, but we realized that giving the alternative option to turn data off + auto silence, we can give user more flexibility. For users <4.2, you will still see the airplane mode function.
  • Graph axis is now showing again for Android 4.1+ users. ​
  • Auto-Wifi ​On-Off is now supported for multi-user tablets.
  • And many bugs that we discovered over the last couple months. Now that we are done with this big release, we will be able to deliver small incremental updates again and quicker.

What's Next

For Android, we will keep a close eye on the problems that people will face with this release as well as our translation efforts. We will deliver incremental updates now on a monthly basis.  Our main focus will also shift to the website to provide more powerful analytics as well as launching our iOS version.

We're launching at NY Tech Day April 19!!

mysleepbot.com. is up.

FINALLY!!!! finally finally finally finally

We've been working and reworking the site. Maybe it would have been a better idea to get a minimum viable product out.

But this is our version of the MVP-- it's not where it needs to be but we're proud of where we are so far!

Still working on a way to update the news articles in the resources section differently.

In the coming weeks you'll be seeing many tweaks to the site!

We're launching at NY Tech Day tomorrow! (https://nytechday.com/)

Come visit us at the Lexington Armory (26th st./4th Ave.) if you're in the New York area!
