How can I test the speech feature on my Pebble Time 2 (Firmware 4.9.157, Language en_US, v1, Recovery 4.9.142)?
I’ve tried with SMS and Google Chat notifications: I click middle button, select ‘Reply’ and then ‘Voice’. After a few moments I get “Dictation is not available”. I can reply with ‘Canned message’ and ‘Emoji’.
I’ve got ‘Speech Recognition’ set to ‘Cloud Only’ in the Pebble app (v 1.0.15.11; Android 16). I’ve also played with ‘Local Only’.
Ignoring speech recognition, how can I even test the microphone?
PS. Admins, please add “optional tags” such as ‘Android’, ‘iOS’, ‘Pebble Time 2’, … to make it easier to filter posts here.
Q2. Given the above, when can I reasonably expect the next release of PebbleOS with a fix to come out?
PS. I’m asking, and I’m sure I won’t be the only one with this question, because I’d like to be able to validate the hardware on the two devices that I just got before the 30-day warranty period runs out.
If you’d like you could download the correct version 4.9.158 for your devices (Obelix PVT) and try it out. We don’t give you estimated dates for when the next version will be released though, sorry!
also I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a Pebble microphone failing before, so that would be an exceedingly rare occurrence if that happened and I’m sure we could help you out.
I’m happy to try a devel version. I’m looking at Release v4.9.159 · coredevices/PebbleOS · GitHub right now - is that where I should start? I see several *obelix_pvt* files - which one? How do I go about from there? Download and open in the Android Pebble app, or something else?
Having a similar issue. Dictation will work the first time I use for a session, but if I try and use it a second time after like 10 minutes, I’m told that Dictation isn’t available.
If I reboot the watch, it works - but only for one session again.
