![]() ![]() Once the app is installed it’s simply a matter of binding the watch to the android device (the normal bluetooth way) and presto. The app only needs to be installed on your android device – there is nothing to install on the watch. ![]() On most modern versions of android that can be accessed via Settings > Accessibility > Services, and also maybe Settings > Security > Notifications. On most modern versions of android that can be accessed via Settings > Security > Allow Unknown Sources.Īlso once the app is installed if you want to push app notifications to your phone you’ll need to allow the app to do that. As it’s an APK file (not installed through Google Play) ytou need to allow your device to install it. The BTNotification app I mentioned earlier is an apk file, which means it’s for installing the app on an android phone or tablet, not an iPhone or iPad (though I believe someone has developed it for those), and not on a PC. ![]() I’d like to address that here to save people some time/hassle. Thanks for the tip from App.My posts about the U8 Smartwatch seem to have struck a chord, and I’ve had some people contacting me about how to get it working with their android devices. It should be noted that this tweak enables BT notifications for ALL smart watches that support such things, not just the pebble. The best part, all settings survive resprings, so its literally “set and forget”. Use headphones listening to music first, then connect U8, the music will come from the U8, but headset still can control the headset, and then the music come from the headset, and vice. Smart BT Notifier App is a full version program for Iphone that belongs to the category Social-networking and. When you use bluetooth headset listening to the music, U8 watch would show incoming calls, music will be automatically suspended until the end of the phone call. Open Smartwatch BT Notifier app on your phone. Once installed, simply re-pair your pebble and you will instantly be receiving a handy buzz on your wrist with every push your phone receives, completely eliminating the need for pull your phone from your pocket every 5 seconds. Press OK to go to the Accessibility settings to activate it. Every application is turned on for notifications by default and can be individually toggled off in NC settings with a handy toggle switch in exactly the place you would expect it to be. Its a fairly simple app, there is nothing to configure. As a matter of fact, the solution is so well done that if you didn’t know any better, you would think apple did it themselves. Two days ago a tweak called “BTNotificationEnabler” hit Cydia for the low low price of free that solves our problems quite nicely. Its really frustrating. Thankfully someone out there in jailbreak dev land loves us. Add the recently released jailbreak, with all its resprings and such and you have a veritable nightmare on your hands. Meaning if it’s working and you walk out of range for a second, then back… your screwed and have to do it again. This is of coarse because you have to manually do this EVERY time it connects via bluetooth. While this may be a viable solution for some, its a royal PITA. Phone calls and SMS alerts come across just as they should, but everything else remains silent unless you manually go into Notification Center and toggle each item off and on. There is however one tiny nagging issue.īecause of Apple’s guidelines for how things talk back and forth over bluetooth, and I suppose the fact that we are still in “1.x land”, there are some issues with notifications coming through to the watch. Ive been using it since then and it has practically become indispensable. If you recall we recently did a story on the new Pebble smartwatch. ![]()
