Jawbone UP flashes colored lights, won't sync or work

[Rob]

I started using my Jawbone about a month ago and accidentally wore it until the battery died. I then went on a bit of a hiatus and hadn't used it for about 2 weeks. When I charged it back up, the status light would flash colored lights really quickly no matter what command I tried to initiate. It also wouldn't work, wouldn't record information, and wouldn't sync.

I tried several times to sync the Jawbone and every time it said the sync was successful. However, no data would sync and the flashing red/green lights persisted. I tried doing this repetitively with no luck.

I checked Jawbone's guide showing what the status lights mean:
https://jawbone.com/kb/articles/UPstatuslights.html

It suggested syncing was the way to solve this problem. Ugh.

I then left my Jawbone plugged into the phone's 3.5mm headset jack and let the phone charge overnight. It works! Somehow, overnight, the problem fixed itself. I'm not sure why or if it was mere coincidence, but it (acidentally) worked for me.

This was for the Jawbone UP, not the Jawbone UP 24. The UP 24 didn't support Bluetooth sync originally (now it does) so I'm actually considering an upgrade.

I know this is an old thread but I suffered those blinking lights several times and needed to be replaced all those times. To be specific, my UP24 was replaced 3 times. I love the UP software but gonna give another band a try before I decide about going back to Jawbone.
