Join the Pebble beta group for the new 2.9 firmware testing. Actionable notifications are enabled for any app that uses the Android Wear API. No need to run the Wear App. You just need the new Pebble app.
Just bought my Pebble and I felt a little left out from all the Wear Hoopla. Pebble just keeps getting better.
Not bad at all for $79!
Do you have the 2.9 firmware.. Can you send it to me...
You can get the new beta by joining the g+ group and opt in on beta testing. The beta can then be downloaded from the play store.

You can find all infos you need on AP : http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-android-wear-notifications-beta-version-2-3/
I found it very hard to find the information where I can sign up. I joined the group on my tablet, been looking in the play store, etc. Finally at work, I logged into google and looked from there in the play store. There I acutally found the following link a day later: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.getpebble.android?authuser=0
The new notifications are a big improvement.

Thank you!!!
New beta update for the Pebble apk and phone firmware yesterday. No real chance to test it yet, but I will tomorrow.
Hi, I'm totally noob and I just bought my Pebble few days ago.
Wich difference are among Android Wear native support and the Notification Center App? I mean, the Notification Center app already allow to replay with Wear integration or this is what I understood.
That is correct but the notification center app is a third party app, pebble has this integrated in its own app now, but still in beta. It's what you prefer, both have their pros and cons.

Ok thank you. I think I'll wait the stable version
I've installed the beta, and so far i am very happy with it.
The Wear support works great and saves an application slot on the pebble.
Thumbs up for the Pebble devs
So to what extent can the Pebble hook into Android Wear ?
Can I use it with apps featuring Android Wear support such as Fly Delta's app with smartwatch Boarding passes ?
I'm just curious what the pebble can access with this new feature

I've got no clue about that one, but apps that support android wear deliver same/similar functions now as they do on android wear watches. If I get an e-mail via google inbox, I can snooze the message, dismiss and such. In google keep I often set reminders that can now be delayed should they pop up at the wrong time or dismissed, too. It's great. If I get an ad from amazon books, I see at a glance on my watch what it is. If it sounds interesting, I either get my phone to check or let it pop up again later. If I don't want to see it again, I dismiss the message.
You can also send canned responses as Pebble doesn't have a microphone (which I'm glad about because I find it rather strange to talk to my watch in public).
I could see myself using voice in the car or at home, but not in public.
I've been checking out sony's smartwatch yesterday, but I couldn't find an answer via google whether or not it's possible to use android wear watches without talking to them. So Pebble is still the best option for me. And today was the first time I had used my watch for full 6 days on one charge.
I know TrackID use to have an android wear app (app appeared on the watch). I tried to launch trackID from my watch yesterday and noticed the app was not there, though it was on my phone. I do not know if the developers stopped supporting Android Wear or if there is an issue with my watch/phone pairing where this app is not being pushed over.
The reason I am not sure is because in the past I have had issues with apps not appearing on my watch, but that was on previous versions of Android Wear for the LG G Watch R, and I have not experienced that lately. Other apps seem to install just fine, leaving me to believe the issue is with the TrackID app (whether not supported, or an issue with the actual app).
Anybody else notice this?
Cheers,
B.D.
Doesn't appear on my Moto 360 either
Does not appear on my Smartwatch 3 too.... -_-
I wrote to the developers right after posting this question and have not heard back to date.
On the Google Play store it no longer says it is supported on android wear, and somebody else changed their review to reflect that it was no longer supported.
Cheers,
B.D.
I bought an Urbane rcently and paired it with my OPO.
Version info on Wear
Version Num: .3.0.2166028
G Play Services: 7.8.99
I am trying to launch the Maps App on google wear and it displays the following error message
"maps won't run unless you update the android wear app".
I cant seem to find a way to update the wear App.
Anybody else faced this issue or help fixingit?
Thanks!
Works fine on my Urbane and S5. I have Android wear app updated to 1.4 on my phone. And on the Urbane it's 1.3.02166028. Google Play version 8.4.89
Works well for me using Galaxy S6. Could be what seems like one of several watch problems when using a One Plus phone.
Worked after uninstalling the ANdroid Wear and reinstalling. Do not ask me why it didnt work the first time. Just like many of the OPO problems with a watch might have been another
Now that my Gear Live is updated to Marshmallow, I noticed that the original Android Wear face that I liked is not on the watch anymore, so I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get it?
My LG G Watch R has updated to Android Wear 2.0 and since then the Whatsapp notifications are not working properly. The watch vibrates every time there is a new notification but it doesn't show anything in ambient mode unless i get a second notification from whatsapp. This issue only happens with this app. I did a factory reset on the watch, reinstalled android wear, reinstalled whatsapp, used different custom roms and also updated everything but nothing seems to work. Any help?
