June 8, 201214 yr Wow... I was just listening to the Emirates bootleg and my Xyloband started lighting up during ETIAW! Its still on... no flashing or anything. I want it to stay on forever :(
June 8, 201214 yr How To Light Up Your Band Say Coldplay in Sunderland last night and brought the Xylobands home for the kids to keep as souveniers. So I started searching tonight for a way to activate the bands and came across this thread. Meanwhile my kids figured out that by sticking a paperclip into the slot that the battery 'lit' plastic was in that they can make the band light up. It must short across a terminal inside. Not as good as having it flashing obviously but great way to show others what they look like.
June 8, 201214 yr My Xyloband turned itself on!I didnt even touch it, it just turned itself on haha and its still on a few hours later. And I got the wristband at the Ricoh Arena concert more than a week ago! I took a picture using my phone but not sure how to post it here. I tried seeing if the light reacts to music by playing charlie brown loud on my stereo but it doesnt lol, I dont understand how it turned on lol, I hope it stays on forever now
June 11, 201214 yr I was just reading the article about xylobands not letting people sleep at night and mind controlling so I checked my xyloband from London to find it is glowing! :D
June 15, 201214 yr Ooh ooh mine flashed this morning.. ONCE. LOL.. I got quite excited.. I was sitting up in bed having my cuppa before I had to get up, the lights were off as I don't like to get woken up too fast. My xyloband lives on my bedpost...and flash! Just once.. ONCE? I live in the UK.. and it was 6.30am.. Strange. (I woke up quite fast at that point!). :laugh3: Mine was lit up this morning at exactly the same time! I just woke up and BAM it was on! It's still on now, an hour later, so I'm not too sure when it'll go off. Thing is, I don't even live near London or any of the other shows, so unless they're sending out the signals while on the road, I'm not sure how they're turning on.
June 15, 201214 yr i've been keeping my xyloband in a drawer because i'd lost hope that it hadn't light up after a week after the concert (May 2, hollywood bowl) lol.. i should probably tape it on my bedroom wall. yes, i shall do that! it will be a hopeful transmission. :cool:
June 16, 201214 yr my xyloto band just lit up - one week after i first saw the band in london - i am still high, here on the 16th from south london a week after i saw them at Emirates.....
June 16, 201214 yr thank you boys - good times continue to roll - to have my xyloto band light up was a blast beyond belief... and way beyond the realms of the emirates stadium - thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all my love.... xxx brian xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
June 16, 201214 yr Xylobands lighting up after concert My xyloband has just lit up 1 week 2 days after I saw them at sunderland. Is anyone elses doing this and does anyone know why
June 17, 201214 yr Sorry guys didn't see this thread before I posted. Anyway min band stayed on for about 24 hours and wasn't flashing. I tried playing coldplay really loud but it didn't work :(
June 17, 201214 yr Two of my bands started glowing last night whilst I was asleep.. I have them in a frame next to my bed! (we have three one from each of us from the Emirates - and one from the O2 gig) When I woke up this morning, there they were.. glowing.. and the funny thing is... I dreamed I was going to a Coldplay gig last night! The dream was SO real too.. how amazing and then I woke up to found this?? :o (please excuse the teddybears LOL).
June 21, 201214 yr Ok, so it's now almost two weeks since I got the wrist band at the Etihad, and this afternoon it just suddenly lit up, not flashing, just glowing, and mines a white one!
June 23, 201214 yr I got two at the Etihad Stadium too. I live in rural South West Scotland. My green one was lit up (not flashing, just glowing) when I came home from town this afternoon. Then at tea time my red one joined it! During the evening the green one went off (run out of battery?), but the red one is still glowing. Would love to know how this happened.
July 2, 201214 yr Xyloband, #1st version: (from my tutorial "how to turn on xyloband" ) Xyloband, #2nd version (with #Coldplayfilm tag)
July 8, 201214 yr amazing! while cleaning my bedroom, I found out that the green xyloband I had last December in London is still alive!
July 17, 201214 yr My daughters came alive yesterday from our Tampa show, and then again this morning... She say's it's a sign we should go to Canada:D I said... Hopefully they will come to Orlando.
July 24, 201214 yr Just an interesting link I found... http://www.edaboard.com/thread244416.html http://www.roundsolutions.com/shop/products/en/Modules-and-accessories/ISM-RF-Module/Telit-RF-Module-868-MHz-TinyOne-PRO-with-external-antenna-connec.html Apparently it is indeed actuated by radio frequency! So if we could say... replicate said prescribed frequency, we could make our own little Charlie Brown Xyloband sequence! :D
July 25, 201214 yr I wonder if each color combo works under a different frequency, because not all of them go off at once. Or, maybe not even by color. I wonder if each band uses multiple frequencies becuase sometimes hey were staggered, sometimes not! I wonder!?
July 26, 201214 yr I wondered if certain colours work on the same frequency because we have a total of 4 bands from the first Toronto show. When I woke up the next morning the red one was glowing and it stayed on for about 15 minutes. Then later that night we got home from Toronto and I gave my youngest daughter a different red one and as soon as she put it on her arm it turned on. She was so excited and thought she was magic since I just finished telling her they only come on at the concert. LOL We had her put on our white and pink ones, but they did not come on. Weird that only the two red ones would. The red one she put on stayed on all night until the batteries wore out about 9 hours later. I would love to find out what frequency they used and be able to make it go on and off. I almost want to wear it out and around all day to see if any frequencies out in the world would activate it.
July 26, 201214 yr The first Philly show, my friend's band never worked. He was going to recycle it in but I took it anyway. The 2nd Philly show, I brought it with me and it worked. Very weird.
July 26, 201214 yr Author Then later that night we got home from Toronto and I gave my youngest daughter a different red one and as soon as she put it on her arm it turned on. She was so excited and thought she was magic since I just finished telling her they only come on at the concert. LOL Hahahah awwww that's so cute! :wacky:
