Lucky you. I tried to force update, even installed the Android Wear 1.0.5 app by hand, but still no update for the watch itself :/

Guys, if you get it, try to pull the update URL via adb. You know...for the horde and all that.

Ugh, I cant wait anymore D:

Haha... Did the same plus rebooted a couple of times, plus reset the device.

Just got the 5 update half an hour ago Liking the nice new features like watch battery and storage details from the wear app and the new watch faces

I'm pulling the the signed update zip right now for those that want to flash it using the stock recovery I think it would work, can't guarantee if it will work with TWRP. It is substantial in size.
Actually here is the URL. http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-lenok-LWX48P-from-KNX01R.149e0c34.zip

^^ has anyone tried this update zip ?

Nothing here yet

Uhm..teaser Nothing here yet....

for those who got the 5.0 update using a stock lollipop rom on their phones: are you able to answer an incoming call direct from the watch, as i used to do with my LG G Watch before Lollipop came out?

Where are you guys finding the new watch faces. I still have the standard ones.

Just received the update now, did a manual update and it downloaded, took a while, I'm in the UK, purchased the watch from Amazon France. Now it shows software v5.0.1 after the update.
The new classic and ocean faces are nice, the background shimmers when the watch is tilted, flicking through the faces feels smoother.

They're at the bottom of the notification screen in Gear Manager. Not the best place for them, but I imagine they'll get their own category at some point.

I had that problem too; the second time I edited them it worked. I don't know if rebooting the phone and gear helped. I'm not sure what I did but now they are edited to match what I have on the phone.

I had this same issue on the Gear 2 Neo and the updated templates did not push to the watch until I modified ALL of the templates. Initially, I only wanted to edit a few of them and nothing changed on my watch...even after restarts. After going back to edit the others as well, the watch was immediately refreshed with the new templates (with no restart or any further action). Odd, but it is what it is.

Looking for this watchface on Android

Hi
I've had my pebble smartwatch for a at least 4 months now and I like it. I recently updated to V2.0 and everything looked good. My only gripe was that there was no way to display the watch battery status until now. I was today browsing for some new watchfaces and I came across this:
http://www.mypebblefaces.com/apps/852/7111/
I know it works only with iOS devices. I have the "Glance" app on my android phone and like it, but I would appreciate if someone knows of a way to get this particular watchface using "Glance" (or any other method).
I'm also open to other similar watchfaces that display both the pebble battery status and my phone battery status.
Help appreciated.. Thanks
Max

You can try creating your own Glance customization. You need to pay for that (premium) but you could end with something similar to that. I don't see why you need to know the battery at all times, just press the mid button on Glance and you'll have the battery on the top-right corner...
That is easily made using canvas, most likely somebody has made one you modify to suit your needs

Not going to happen unless you can figure out what parts of touchwiz are required, and then port it
(Or maybe sdk if it is ever released)

To be honest I can live without the voice and weather my calls and notifications work and a load of other stuff very happy that it's even working and that samsung deprived us of being able to use other devices with their gear watch.

Can't help, I'm using Notifications Center. But mine is not failing. I went from b11 to official through Google Playstore.
Yeah Idk. Uninstall and reinstall. That's the only suggestion I have.

How are people finding it?
I went from Beta 10 (bought my watch the day it came out)
-it was crap, buggy, slow, the app store made my phone hot and chewed the battery.
to Beta 7 (the release prior to "app store")
-no app store. instant responses. worked pretty well
to Beta 11
-still a bit slow, but the Pebble app behaved and battery use was okay. App store worked better (could scroll back and forth between watch faces)
to Official
-barely tested before an update came out
to Official.. (update 1?)
-is okay.. not as fast as Beta 7 still.
-Phone has started crashing.
-Powered off at 3am the other day (GSAM graph and Sleep as Android had data until then)
-Froze on the app store this morning. Then crashed.
..not sure whether I'll try uninstalling everything or perhaps flashing a new ROM.
Incidentally, I have a mate who won't move off of Beta 7
Official got an update today. Working very well so far
I changed my rom and it seemed to have fixed the problem I was having earlier.

After I received my Pebble, the firmware was updated to the latest version 2. I had been using with my Note 3 on stock KitKat and found that almost half the time, it will lose the bluetooth connection. Has anyone using Note 3 encounter this issue?
Today I got very frustrated with it and tried factory reset of the Pebble but still has same issue. I even tried Pebblebits but the issue remains.
I tried to flash the beta 9, 10, and 11 but didn't manage to flash. Is there anyway to go back to the last most updated version 1 firmware? The only reason I want to do that is to find out if my issue is Pebble or rom very issue.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
V2.0.2 firmware updated on my Pebble. Hopefully the bluetooth issue I had will be resolved.
Edit:
Did factory reset on my Pebble a few times but still cannot solve the problem.
Next, suspected that Notification Center seems to cause the BT disconnection, so I removed it. Tried other free notification apps but still had problem with BT disconnection.
Decided to purchase YaNC PRO and unfortunately still had BT disconnection.
The last straw was to reboot my Note 3.
Looks like the BT disconnection is gone. Notifications are also coming in now. Hopefully this situation continues.
Edit:
It's slightly improved but at times, I still face BT disconnections, ie notifications not sending to my Pebble even when the notification bar shows the Pebble is connected.
Of anyone has any suggestions, please share with me. Thank you.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I have a disconnection too. But this is a data type connection. If I have weather on the watch it wont update, when I do a manual update on the watch it says disconnected. The way to get it back is to reboot the phone, or go to the support tab, have it check for a update, and let it force close, then its OK for a while. I'm currently use Kitkat (Custom ROM),unfortunately I had to remove weather from my watch.

I was worried because I just bought this Pebble and I thought mine was a faulty unit.
I"m using Pebble with my Galaxy S3 (rooted stock ROM) and I had several times problem with random disconnection and reconnection of BT connection with Pebbles.
Always solved by default reset of Pebble + removing / installation of Pebble application.
Hope that it will help sb who have same problem...
