Pebble Releases PebbleOS v1.14 Firmware

Pebble, makers of the popular Pebble smartwatch, have announced the release of the version 1.14 firmware for their popular piece of wearable technology.

From the Pebble Blog:

We’ve been working hard (like elves in a workshop) on fresh firmware for Pebblers to enjoy. We’re pleased to announce the release of PebbleOS v1.14. This Update includes new features, improvements, and fixes.

What’s New

  • Do Not Disturb. Block notifications for a set period of time (from Pebble: Settings » Notifications » Do Not Disturb).
  • Alarms app update. Create multiple Alarms, toggle Alarms on/off, and edit existing Alarms.
  • New “Snooze Alarm.” Customizable via the Pebble Alarms app.
  • Improved Notification Control. Specify what notifications are displayed (Notifications On, Phone Calls Only, or Notifications Off). Notification settings are now accessible more quickly through a dedicated menu (Settings » Notifications).
  • Improved iOS performance. Notifications are now sent more quickly from your iOS device to Pebble. After exiting Airplane Mode, Pebble will now search for connectable iOS devices immediately, instead of waiting one minute.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Pebble may enter “Recovery Mode” immediately after updating to 1.13 firmware.
  • Fixed an issue affecting some iOS Pebblers experiencing dropped Bluetooth connections, a few seconds after connecting.
  • Fixed an issue where Caller ID data would not display on Pebble after receiving a missed call.
  • Fixed Bluetooth data transfer reliability issues, particularly during a firmware update.
  • Fixed an issue where Pebble would sometimes keep vibrating after dismissing or answering a phone call.

To update your Pebble firmware, open the Pebble iOS or Android app on the device your Pebble is connected to via Bluetooth in order to begin the process. If you have any difficulties, help can be found at the Pebble Support page.
