Starting with the firmware released in July it caused my iphone to lock up for seconds at a time in any other application. It took me a long time to narrow it down to the pebble app, but that was definitely the culprit.
Before I figured out that it was the pebble, I thought it was bluetooth itself - because when I turned off the bluetooth, the phone acted normally. Which sucked because I use about 6 bluetooth devices with my phone. Two cars, headphones, and indoor/outdoor home entertainment systems.
6+ with always the latest iOS if any of you pebble people are reading this. It's been a nightmare for the past two months, what was otherwise an absolute brilliant experience up until that point. This is a pebble time kickstarter edition.
- wvenable 10y agoThe bluetooth stack on iOS isn't terribly stable. I used to blame the Pebble for it's disconnects until I discovered that it corresponds with the whole stack going out. I've never had a problem with my phone locking up and neither has my wife but some people seem to have constant problems and some none at all. Bluetooth has never struck me as a particularly stable technology in general. Pebble has been working on going full Bluetooth LE and dropping the regular Bluetooth connection. I'm not sure what the progress is on this (or if they abandoned it) but it would probably improve stability and battery life.
