Android - Common Issues & Questions

The Pebble app crashes once I tap + on my Android phone.

In the Pebble app, go to Settings, then disable Companion Device Manager. Try pairing your watch again!

I have a Xiaomi phone and notifications aren’t working reliably!

Try adding Pebble to the list of apps that are automatically started when the phone starts. It is accessible from Settings → Applications → Authorizations → Background. After adding it to this list, please restart your phone.

How do I use my Rebble subscription with the new Pebble app?

You don't! Voice and weather services are provided for free with the new Pebble app. Pebble + Core Devices has no affiliation with the Rebble monthly/yearly subscription.

My Pebble Classic or Pebble Steel won't appear in the Pebble app, but appears in my phone's Bluetooth settings for pairing.

The new Pebble app will only connect with watches running firmware version v3.x and above. On certain Pebble Classic and Pebble Steel watches this may pose an issue and require that you update your watch with the older/legacy Pebble app first, then install the new Pebble app and connect that way.
