Hi,
Has anyone tried the Pebble with any of Amazon's Fire devices? I've got the Fire Phone which I'd like to use the Pebble with?
- I know it requires Android 4.0+ (which the Fire Phone has)
- I have been able to sideload the Pebble app and it seems to work fine
I'd like to know if anyone has actually tried it and if it works ok?
Cheers!

Just saw this post. I have the fire phone, and the pebble works perfectly. I downloaded the app by side-loading the play store. I couldn't find an updated version of the app to just downloaded so i went the play store route.
Oh, fantastic, thank you
I haven't got one yet, but will be getting one soon. Do you have the normal pebble or the pebble steel? And which would you recommend?
Do you run the latest version of the app where it pushes through all notifications rather than select ones?
Thanks again
I have a pebble steel and a fire phone with 3.6.8 on it.
I also side loaded Google Play Store and then installed the Pebble app(v2.0.17.2) from there.
My experience is that it works, but not perfectly. The part of the app that displays what is currently loaded in the 8 slots of the watch constantly goes blank, showing nothing, as if it was not connected. When they are displayed they do not always allow you to remove, add, or modify the settings for the different watch faces or apps.
The notifications do not work as well as they did on an old HTC Sensation I installed Kitkat on. But that is most likely because Android 4.2.2, what FireOS 3.6.8 is based from, does not natively support apps accessing notifications.
On email delivered via exchange it only says you have a new email, no information on the email. It does work fine for Gmail notifications, the Gmail app is also installed from Google Play Store. It does properly notify about calls and messages too. The third party Notification Center app seems to crash constantly, so I stopped using it. Nav Me seems to work fine.
I'm hoping when/if Amazon releases an update the notification issues will be resolved.
Aw that's a shame. I did read somewhere that pebble steel has some issues compared to original pebble.. I might hold off on getting one to see if it's better supported with fire os 4 then.
Thank you for your very detailed response!

Do you have the original pebble or the pebble steel? - I've read about some issues with the steel as the other person here also mentions.
Found that the best option is to downgrade pebbles firmware to SDK 1.0, which is a lot more stable with Android 4.2.2
To downgrade pebble, follow these steps:
THIS WILL DO A FACTORY RESET OF YOUR PEBBLE
1 - Uninstall the Pebble app on the Fire Phone
2 - Put the pebble in recovery mode, by pressing "back"+"up"+"select", hold these buttons until you see "Loading..." in the pebble screen
3 - Install the pebble app with SDK 1.0 Donwload from here:

4 - For pebble faces compatible with SDK 1.0, go to www.mypebblefaces.com and filter "SDK 1.0"
5 - Enjoy stable notifications on your pebble with the Amazon Fire Phone
Hope this helps =)

Does GT08 smart watch works on fire phone ???
I need some help here, I bought an LG Urbane today and I can't get the google Wear app to work on my stock Nexus 6 6.0.1. When I install the wear app from the play store it saying google play services has stopped over and over again. I've tried installing older versions of the wear app along with clearing cache rebooting and nothing has worked.
anyone having issues pushing a watch face from watchmaker pro ?
i tried unpairing from my phone and I have also uninstalled the watchmaker pro and reinstalled
when I push a watch face to my phone i get "unfortunately watchmaker premium has stopped
watch build number is M1d64y with Jan 1 security patch installed
Going to Settings > Permissions > Watchmaker and enabling all permissions (primarily Storage) on the watch stopped Watchmaker crashing for me.

This is not that intuitive. First, you should receive phone notification the Watchmaker app is installed. This will not be instant. Resyncing apps and/or rebooting the phone may help push the install. Second, once installed on the phone, you will need to select the Watchmaker watchface in Android Wear's list of watchfaces for your watch. At this point, you should be able to synch watchfaces. Also make sure the proper watch model is selected in the Watchmaker Premium Settings.

I bought watchmaker premium on Amazon appstore. So how can i get watchmaker to work on the urbane if it only has the play google store and not amazon appstore on the watch. Would i have to pay for it again? I tried downloading the free version on the watch but can't seem to push any faces over from watchmaker premium on my phone.
Problems publishing
Some of the faces I design will publish without a problem. Some don't. I get a message saying it has been "uploaded" successfully. But it hasn't. Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm a Premium user of Watchmaker.
