Ever since the update to iOS17, I was unable to use my #Pebble watch due to the sideloaded Pebble app constantly crashing badly. But I recently found out that iMazing could help restore the original IPA which is supposed to be a bit less broken than sideloaded. It seems to be indeed the case. Now I can at least load and manage apps/watchfaces. This is giving me more confidence that I can get back to using regular #watches and transition away from the #Apple Watch by using the Pebble time.
I'm not surprised there are issues. So many updates lately (03, 06, 07, 08, 09, and 11) and they are going through Alpha and Beta pretty quick. No way proper testing is being done.

Yes it's a bit odd and disturbing.
I like that GrapheneOS is so quick in sending out updates, but nearly every day keeps me wondering what's actually going on right now.
Well I hope this BT bug will be sorted out soon.
They are doing amazing work nevertheless, permanently.
@gadgetbridge gibt es eine Möglichkeit die Gadgetbridge auch ohne Benachrichigung zu benutzen? Insbesondere ohne die Benachrichtigungen durch "Warnmeldungen"?
@gadgetbridge
Gemeint sind die Warnmeldungen, Notfallbenachrichtigungen zu z.B. Erdbeben usw. All das was bei diesen "Warntagen" auch über die Smartphones versendet wird.
Australians. I have a #Pebble watch, it is probably missing the charger and needs the annoying screen fix. Does anyone want it for the cost of postage?
I went to the community health center because I felt sick. You can receive medical examinations and treatments for free if you are registered with the Social Security Agency on Health; if not, medical examinations and all forms of medicine can be obtained for a single US dollar. Of course, you have to visit the hospital for more complicated illnesses.
@PlasticMonkey I believe right before Pebble went down, Sara post some links to the marketing graphics for Pebbel via a Google Drive link. Do y’all have that? Pretty sure I downloaded it, but not at home right now.
@cliffwade That's kind of the Disney version of the story. Pebble wanted to be a commercial venture, couldn't achieve orbit and started a Mastodon instance to give their users a place to land.
@Grizzlysgrowls I actually had the Pebble Time for way longer than its prescribed shelf life. Simple, but wonderful watch. Still sad about that company. 😞
@wedistribute Only reason I ever bought a #Fitbit was they bought #Pebble. I figured they'd bought it to learn how to make a decent smartwatch, not just a fitness watch.
They hadn't. Or at least they didn't learn.
Gave the Fitbit to my sister, who works out and such.
Could the Pebble community live on as part of the #Fediverse?
"A user named @blobcat is already hard at work in recreating the Pebble frontend design for Mastodon. Right now, it’s just a theme for the Mastodon interface, but there is some hope that maybe, just maybe, the #design might become the default on Pebble Social."
@jenniferplusplus Seems to have happened at least sporadically, and I can find a few examples of people doing it plus a call for a fediblock, though it's hard to find specifics because gestures broadly at search features
@cyberlyra That's exactly the first thing I thought about too when I started hearing Pebble being thrown around. I hadn't heard that name in a long time!
We are down to the last ~half-hour in the life of #Pebble, née t2, which I reckon to be the kindest, gentlest and smallest of the twitter alternatives — and watching it come down while logged in over there is rather poignant. Which well befits the character of the place.
Meanwhile, the chief Pebbler, @gabor has spun up an "experimental" mastodon instance, pebble.social. I do think mastodon is a better fit for that community than, say, Bluesky. Here's wishing them well!
@richardgrant@gabor Well that’s t2 Pebble gone and it proved that yes you can have a social community with no flame wars nastiness or toxicity just everyone from all over the world having great conversations. I do hope Pebble Social instance is a success
@bory Since you already have a Mastodon account, there's no need to create another one (unless you just really want pebble.social for your account name - which IS pretty cool!).
It looks like you haven't posted much yet so you could just move your current account over there if you want. (Let me know I can help with that process)
If you want to keep in touch with the Pebble community, you can follow/search for these hashtags:
@box464 thanks Jeff. I think I'll wait a little while before moving over. But definitely interested and not too precious about losing a few posts. Will know who to ask if I need help - thanks for offering!
Have just said farewell to #Pebble, definitely one of the friendliest of the post-Twitter platforms. I joined Mastodon a year ago, but haven’t been here much. Maybe that will change in the coming days? Might need to curate my follows a little! @t2pub
