For those of you who have jumped on the Pebble Time trend, your smartwatch is going to get a bigger than a Pebble firmware update.
The company has started to roll out their new firmware today, and it has brought the update number to 3.2 – which adds a ton of new awesome features. Its Android companion hasn’t been forgotten, and it too has received changes here, and there.
The Pebble Time firmware update 3.2 changelog can be read just down below. Notice the improvements added for the blacklight, font size, and vibration settings. One of the biggest features is supporting additional music players.
- Blacklight: You can now adjust its time-out duration, and intensity.
- Font Size: Basically, you can now play with font sizes – be it in notifications, layouts, or other parts of Pebble.
- Vibration: Users have complained that vibration was way too strong, and the company listened to the community out-roar. By default, it’s weaker than the previous default setting. Also, now you can adjust the vibration setting for notifications, alerts, calls, and so on.
- Music/Android: Additional music players have been added to Pebble Time’s library, like Pandora, Spotify, Songza, and the company has improved how songs are displayed. The Android app now displays different play, and stop buttons.
- Notifications: The best improvement is the addition of Dismiss All. Also, devs have worked on displaying notifications properly.
- Bug fixes are present.
- Improvements to the stability of Pebble Time.
Pebble Time’s Android app is witnessing improvements, and new features. You now have a search bar which you can use to track down saved apps, or watchfaces that reside in your My Pebble menu. Don’t need to worry anymore that your notification preferences will be set to default when a new firmware comes out – whatever you did in the previous update will be carried on to the next.
If you want to get the new update, you just need to go to Menu > Support > and select Update your Pebble.
