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”. 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. When connected to a smartwatch, the BT notifier makes is easy for the owner to pick up phone calls, read messages and check missed calls on your smartwatch. 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. The BT Notifier is an app that functions as an intermediary to communicate between a smartphone and a smartwatch using a Bluetooth connection. 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. It turns out that Bluetooth watches work very well, and the sound of the call is loud and clear. This is of coarse because you have to manually do this EVERY time it connects via bluetooth. My main concern is whether it can make calls and send and receive text messages without inserting a SIM card. 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.
