    RFcomm Cancellation issue

    I thought Microsoft has said the background RFComm task can be canceled by the OS at anytime. I don't think it is related to the trigger that kicks off the background task.

    Anyone get a Pebble Time yet ? Does it work with WP Pebble Notifications app ?

    They said that the reason my access is denied is that the Accessory API is restricted to Device Manufactures. So if Pebble wanted to use it they could because they are the manufacturer. I am just a lowly third party developer or what Microsoft considers untrustworthy. Pebble has said numerous...

    Anyone get a Pebble Time yet ? Does it work with WP Pebble Notifications app ?

    I have a Pebble Time. Some of the users in the Pebble forums have tried the Pebble Connect app and reported that it does not work with the Pebble Time. I developed Pebble Watch Pro and am working on adding support for the Pebble Time to it. I also have a Windows 8.1 Update 1 Pebble app I have...

    Anyone using a Bluetooth Camera Shutter remote?

    Bluetooth camera shutter remotes use Bluetooth HID profile. In other words the devices act like a key being pressed on a keyboard. Windows Phone does not support HID but that is one of the features rumored in the WP8.1 GDR 2 update. That probably will not make it to Windows Phones before...

    So much for the pebble working, update watch and now getting an error message ....

    @DavidinCT - My update has been submitted to the Microsoft App Store. The update has been approved. It will probably take a couple of hours before it will be available to download. This should allow you to install the included firmware for your V3R3 version of the Pebble or from PebbleBits using...

    @DavidinCT - I have been working on an update all day to Pebble Watch Pro so that you can install the firmware on your V3R3 Pebble. Will get it pushed to the WP Store as soon as I get finished testing.

    So much for the pebble working, update watch and now getting an error message ....

    I was reading through the Pebble forums in the Windows Phone thread and saw everyone is getting the message I was trying to help you with. You can see here: Windows Phone 8 - Pebble App - Page 25 - Pebble Forums So there may not be a fix until I get my new app working. The Microsoft app only...

    I am sorry to hear that. Try this if you have a chance. Launch Pebble Watch Pro and just leave it running on your phone. See if you still get that message while PWP is running. Wish I had a V3R3 to test with.....

    You could try to create a firmware at pebblebits.com. When it shows you the download link which should end in .pbz, press and hold it until you can copy the link. Then go to PWP and go to the URL install and and press and hold the big white box until you can paste the like. Then you can try to...

    Ahhh. You have hardware version V3R3. That's new. Pebble Watch Pro supports updating 4 versions of the firmware (V2R2,V3R1,V3R2 and 102V1). I will try to get V3R3 added this weekend. Look for an update to PWP next week after MS approves it. Sorry for the confusion.....

    @DavidinCT - Pebble Watch Pro can install the firmware directly. You do not need to find it. Go to the second option on the AppBar the one that looks like a clock. The pivot options are "Install Apps, Remove Apps, Alerts, Firmware and URL". Then move to the 3rd pivot on the right you should...

    I installed firmware 2.9.0 with Pebble Watch Pro for Windows Phone. I am using the version of MS app downloaded from the WP store and I am not getting those messages. I have heard of others getting those messages from that app but not me. It could be related to the specific watch apps you are...

    Pebble app

    Both of those apps were written to the WP8 API and do not run in the background. I am working on a new WP8.1 Update 1 app. I do not have an ETA at this time as I hope to add notifications with it and that requires special permission from MS.

    Pebble app

    Yes! Pebble Watch Lite is free and will let you control the music on your phone. It does not work with cloud services though. Pebble Watch Pro will also let you control the FM Radio on your phone with up to 6 station presets. In addition you can install firmware updates and watch faces and...
