As per steve:

> We paused 4.19 rollout

Original post:

I have a Pebble Time 2, connected to my Android phone. Yesterday I got a notification that the new PebbleOS Version 4.19.0 is available, but I swiped it away because it was inconvenient at the time.

There was also a Pebble App update, which I installed.

Now, the app tells me correctly that the watch is still on 4.17.0, but when I press on “Check for Updates”, nothing happens. No visual feedback that it is checking for an update, no feedback that a newer Version is available, or that there was a problem reaching the server, or that there was a problem talking to the watch. Visually nothing to work with, apart from the highlighting that the button was pressed and released.

Did anybody else experience this? What’s a good solution for it before I just factory reset the watch and hope for the best?

Yes, I’m experiencing the same issue with the app.  
If you don’t know how to trigger the update, there are ~~two~~ one ways to do it:

- ~~There might still be a message on your phone telling you how to trigger the update (only if you allowed the Pebble app to send you messages).~~
- Otherwise, check the messages on your watch. Press the middle button (when the message is displayed) and select “Update now.”

Update: Factory Reset also only gets the watch to 4.17.0. On the plus side, Factory reset is fairly painless and quick. (unless you have something stored for the apps I presume, which I don’t)

I just tried to trigger the update (via the notification on the watch) and got the message “Failed.”  
I can’t upload any pictures yet, so here’s a link:

To fix a bug, judging by the comment on 4.19.1:

> fixes an issue with text rendering on watchfaces
