I also created a number of unwanted memories using TruLink 2.0.0 Deleted them by swiping left. Each time I wanted to exit the app it wanted to create a new one. So exited without creating a new memory then killed the app by swiping up on the iPhone. When next opened the unnecessary memories did not return. Thinking about deleting and reinstalling TruLink.


My audillogist's Starkey rep tells her again today that new firmware will not improve connectivity problems and it is all Apple's problem. Reminds me of the 80's where software and hardware providers always blamed the other.

This just in from MacRumors.com re iOS 8.2 launching NEXT WEEK:


The release notes for iOS 8.2 outline several improvements to Apple's stock Health app, including the ability to select units of measurement for body temperature, weight, height, distance and blood glucose. The software update also delivers stability enhancements for Mail, Flyover in Maps, Music, VoiceOver and Made for iPhone hearing aids.

As promised 8.2 is available and includes made for iPhone connrectivity improvements. It is hefty download so I will wait for my bandwidth free time in the wee hours of of tomorrow to download.


Are we excluded from the Apple watch. The iPhone can only be paired with one Bluethooth device at a time as far as I can tell so keeping the Halos paired while taking advantage of the watch's Bluetooth features seems impossible. Apple support does not have an answer at the moment.

I have 8.2. It took about 30 seconds to download on a cable connection.


NO, THAT IS WRONG. I can pair my iPhone with several bluetooth devices at the same time. The restriction is that you have to choose "where the sound goes." So as I'm driving, if the phone rings, I have a choice of answering on my Halos or on the Car Radio.


Should be the same for the Apple Watch. -Which I have no interest in.


I've been using 8.2 for several hours, and notice nothing new or different. Connectivity is still good.

THanks, the download for my iPhone is ~500 mb which kills my bandwidth allowance (the price for living in rural NM). My connectivity has been spotty so,hoping this fixes it.


if I can get full Bluethooth use to both the Halos and the watch to use all features I'm buying a entry level watch to play around with.,and Imam a "watch person..." The health apps are interesting as are many others like Apple Pay which I am addicted to.

I live in Canada and have not yet been offered 8.2! Do you think they're making Canadians wait longer for some obscure reason? No seriously it hasn't been offered here yet. My audi told me when I got these Starkey Halos that I should never download an upgrade till Starkey had vetted it and advised it was OK. I'm anxious to download 8.2 because I understand they've fixed the GMT problem.
