Have You Ever

I have found that many of these issues are caused due to moisture. Yes, I know it sounds darfed but the tiniest amount of moisture can cause havok with oled and other components. All you can do is put your device inside a tub of rice. I know, weird hey but it works, the moisture is literally soaked into the rice and away from your device. Even the moisture in terms of air humidity can have a small effect that causes havok. There is even a tiny creature that feeds off metal and other bi-metal components and they slowly create strands and inter connective fibers between circuit components from their tiny little dead corpses. They rely on any moisture available, so best be certain your device is humidity free before trying expensive repairs.
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:
Were you able to revive your MBW-150 OLED display with rice?
[General Accessories] :
No, however my grandmothers ipad, my previous sgs2 and my nephews Nokia N9 where all saved by this old trick of the trade. Sucked the moisture out.
[General Accessories] leobg:
The watch is supposed to be waterproof. I doubt soaking it in rise will revert the display, even if you open it before putting it rise.

I ended up using my MBW150's as regular watches. With Bluetooth off, battery lasts nearly 4 months (slightly less on my older one.)

That - until decently looking Bluetooth watch gets released by somebody.

Tamagotchies like the recent Sony Smart Watch or LiveView do not count. TI's analog one looks kind of boring with that shape and I also prefer metal wristbands.

Display not working has one advantage - battery lasts much longer and on the phone too (well... J.K.)
[General Accessories] :
The waterproofing membrane relies on pressure to keep it sealed when under water. Atmospheric pressure changes can result in water passing through this membrane inn a process similar to osmosis. Rice can reverse these effects.
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:
What membrane are you referring to? I have one of my MBW-150s apart, waiting and hoping for a new display. The only thing I see that would make it at all waterproof is a thin O-ring that fits in grooves in the top and bottom piece.
[General Accessories] :
Yip that is the one, the high quality ones are made from breast implant grade silicone compound while lower quality ones are usually plain rubber.
[General Accessories] rc8878:
Did anyone thinking of GB-6900 from Casio? It got 2-year battery life.
[General Accessories] chriscardinal:
Just a data point that I bought one of the last few MBW-150 Classics I could find on eBay just a couple months ago and the display is already dimming, even though it was, or at least appeared completely new in box. My earlier MBW-150 had lasted about a year and a half before the OLED faded. Very disappointed, since I spent $120 on it, but alas.

I did get it wet, and I'm trying to think if that occurred before the dimming began. Might try the rice thing as a hail mary.

For now, I'm seriously considering the Pebble watch, even though it's not a traditional "watch", which is a big part of what attracted me to the MBW.
[General Accessories] -=xXx=-:
So did anyone succesfully chande display on this watch ?
[General Accessories] maikllll:
I want to learn who нибудь ordered and received the OLED display??

Where it is possible to order and buy it??
[General Accessories] Ninjarider:
Att Nforce

Im trying to reply your PM. I am unable to reply to it. I dont know why....

maybe its my browser...

Please advise if company have confirmed stock.

My experince is that some resellers take on orders and cansell them due to fact that they are not in stock/production any more.

Please advice as I will try to resolder a new oled.

New SE Sports edition, any precautionary measures?

Hi all,

I just ordered my SE Sports Edition watch, and as usual only after ordering it, one encounters web sites warning for all sorts of havoc with the purchased item... I went through the thread, and I have to admit I'm impressed with the refusal to accept the answers given by just about all suppliers and manufacturers.

I am not technical at all, so unfortunately I can't be of any service in the tech debate. I do have a question though:

I read in one of the replies, the moist might be due to the quality of the seal? Is it possible to purchase a higher quality silicon O-ring, or do I need to let a professional watch maker do that?

I read with mechanical diver watches they advise to have the battery replaced by an official watch maker, as they do the aqua and pressure testing and all that.

I bought the watch for running purposes (from www.digitalsonline.nl, still a few SE-SE's available they said), to prevent the hassle of getting out the phone to skip a song, which sounds silly, but when you are running, it really is annoying ;) So if I can prolong the life of the watch even before the fading starts, please let me know.
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:
Good luck with that! I bought a spare watch last year, planning to use it once my original one's display got too faded to read. The display was bright as new when I bought it. When I took it out of the closed box six months later, it was faded worse than my original one.
[General Accessories] CyberDemonVZ:
Are you sure you've got Sony Ericsson MBW-150?

As far as I know, there are only Music, Classic and Executive edition.

Do you have link or picture?
[General Accessories] jan_willem:
sports edition (according to web site)

http://www.digitalsonline.nl/pagina...150-fossil-bluetooth-watch-music-edition.html

What would it be if it weren't the MBW-150? Wondering, as a n00b to this SE watch debate, very curious and what I sould (have) pay(ed) attention to.

Thanks!
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:

Baterry

Hi everyone!

I have little problem with SE MbW-150

THe displey which i can see who call me don't work.I think the battery is the problem(i'm not sure)and where i can find battery for this clock?Thank you
[General Accessories] leobg:
If you read carefully the thread, you may find it is not your battery at fault but the display which is likely faded away (maybe all are by this time...). If you want new battery - just google around - they are still available here and there. For example http://www.thebatterystore.com/batteryforsonyericssonbluetoothwatchmbw-100andmbw-150.aspx or http://www.the-internet-shop.co.uk/SonyEricsson-Mbw-150/72399-sonyericsson-mbw-150-battery.html If you are convinced it's the battery - buy one and replace it. But if display was getting dimmer and dimmer - don't waste your money.

I have two watches - one executive and one sports. Sports one I got after my exec went dark, but the sports one has also faded away. I ended up using the exec, which I love the look and feel of, but as a regular watch (with bluetooth disconnected battery lasts 3-4 months). None of the rest available BT watches I have came thru is really catching my eye.
[General Accessories] jam_27:
How can I find the exact specifications of the OLED in MBW-150. I am willing to take up the project of changing the OLED, but I need to know the details of the OLED and possibly the connections (picture?). I have the required fine soldering equipment so soldering wont be a problem. My MBW-150 music edition display currently works fine indoors, with the OLED completely visible and bright. However, the display has now dimmed enough to be useless outside in day light.

As I use my MBW-150 daily as my main watch, I will only open it once I have some inputs from you guys on the OLED details. I am sure we could get some ordered from china if we have the correct details.

If anyone has already opened their MBW-150, is there any serial number on the back of the display. Mine was bought from new ebay last year and did not come with anything other than the back box, so I do not have any details about the watch parts etc.

Waiting for inputs from gurus and non-gurus here.:)
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:
I unsoldered one of my displays a year or so ago, expecting one of the replacement part leads to pan out, but no luck so far. The only text on my display "might" be part numbers. On the back of the display itself: 1013429010 Z03. On the front of the attached circuit board/ribbon: 137020007A30CR and 10144710413429.

Best of luck finding replacements and if you find some, I need three. Since you have the right tools, I'll be glad to pay you to install them for me, once you get the process down of course.
[General Accessories] jam_27:
Thanks for the numbers, but they are not leading me to any part number for an OLED display. May be the booklet (which I do not have) which came with the watch lists the part number(s).

Otherwise, will it be possible for possible for anyone here to link some high-res images of both sides of the OLED display in the MBW-150. Also, I would need the resolution (96x16?) of the display on the MBW-150. Do they look anything like this or this? Or are the number of pins different ?

The main reason which degrades these OLED displays is moisture which builds inside the watch due to changing ambient pressure and temperature. So, if you ave opened your watch once for battery replacement or some other reason, the display is surely doomed to fade faster now. There are some OLED displays which now come with packaging to prevent moisture, but I am not sure if they will fit in our MBW-150.

Anyone knows if there are MBW-150 knock-offs which have same/similar OLED displays (size/resolution)?

Waiting for more info on the MBW-150 OLED displays.

Battery

Hi everyone! I'm from Greece and i look for battery. From this site the-internet-shop.co.uk/SonyEricsson-Mbw-150/72399-sonyericsson-mbw-150-battery.html they write me ,that the battery is out of stock.So where i can find that battery for mbw-150 in Europe..or i must buy from thebatterystore,com/batteryforsonyericssonbluetoothwatchmbw-100andmbw-150.aspx..But shipping is 60$ (the battery is 19:) ) so if somebody can help i'll be very happy.Thank you
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:
I have the manual and there are no part numbers. Have you read the OP's posts? He's been down this road and even ordered the parts, but the order fell through.

I ordered one of the knockoffs similar to the one you linked to, but when it gets here, I plan to just use it as is. I'll be happy just to see caller ID and message/email notifications until/unless someone finds replacement displays.

Hi, have you bought the battery in any way? In the-internet-shop.co.uk don't seems out of stock but, you think that is reliable? Thanks

And sorry for the OT...
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:
Bluetooth was killing my battery in 6-7 hours and my display was dark, so I bought two batteries from the Battery Store that you linked to. They worked great, but didn't help my display or battery life at all. Another waste of money. :(

I just recieved an update message on my phone while it was connected to my computer. It said it was for the Feb Update.
[Venue Pro General] Naterade:
Yeah you can force the update by following the tutorial here : everythingwm.com/new-nodo-workaround-arrives/2011/03/29/
[Venue Pro General] jon654:
Thanks, I tried the link. I ended up turning on airplane mode, then turned on my WIFI. THen I connected my Phone to Zune and looked for an update. About 20 secs I turned off the wifi and it updated to Nodo.

I still see the firmware was not changed and still dont see all the memory. The EM app is still the same.
[Venue Pro General] jon654:
And it still freezes with WiFi on. :-(
[Venue Pro General] KilZone:
For all Dell Venue Pro users, a small warning. Using this technique your phone will identify itself as a European (unlocked) phone. Technically Microsoft should still see it as the Dell Venue Pro, but we all know that there is a difference between the European (Indian / Global) and US version of the phone. The first one has 512MB ram, while the latter only has 256MB (approx.).

So, identifying as a European version might not give you a firmware upgrade! Again, as the UK version has not yet been shipped, I can't be sure totally, but it does seem a plausible reason for the differences in 'firmware'. (Some users reported firmware upgrades, while others don't [see above].)
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
You have no poof of the "early" phones having 256 MB of RAM, do you?
[Venue Pro General] quantumforce1:
30s

Ahhh -- Finally -- the magic count number for me was 30s -- YEA!!!

In the process of updating NOW --- I'm really excited :)

@quantumforce1
[Venue Pro General] quantumforce1:
Now finished with NoDo --- total time 9mins to 7390! Yipee!!!
[Venue Pro General] kartbart:
In terms of changing the SD to 32GB, is it better to do so before the no-do update or after? Or does the update really not make a difference?
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
I doubt it makes a difference. I would definitely not try it during though ;)
[Venue Pro General] Mann_Kel:
I have only gotten the pre-nodo update. Also i talked to a Dell mobility rep about a week ago, and she told me that the firmware update will correct the 512mb issue. She told me this was the root of all the issues.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Dell has confirmed (on Twitter) that NoDo is rolling out now and that a separate firmware update is coming later:

http://twitter.com/#!/LionelatDell/status/52939756748816384

http://twitter.com/#!/LionelatDell/status/52940654199836672
[Venue Pro General] KilZone:
No I don't, but what I meant was that only 256MB is accessible (which we do know for sure). I'm still hoping (and I tent to believe so too) that there is actually 512MB in the device, but the firmware is 'wrong'.

However, the Europe / Global version of the phone has 512MB of RAM already available (different firmware?) and thus not need the same fixes as the US one. So forcing the global version of NoDo on your phone, might not always be a good idea. (I know that, for now, there is no indication that there is any fix from Dell in the NoDo and it might all work out. Still I would be cautious...)

Dell is making weird comments all the time, I would like to see that D2D post before I believe a fix is coming... First they said it would be rolled out with NoDo, now it comes later. Hopefully 'later' does not mean 'by the time the DVP2 comes out', but only time will tell.
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
I got an update yesterday but was the pre nodo I guess cause no dam copy paste. Oh well. I think its going in the drawer and will just use my Epic till mango arrives. I am over all this crap
[Venue Pro General] grigsby1:
I have the nodo, we now know it does not contain the firmware update(that is really what needed) to set my mms, as i had no problems with the phone before, no wifi issues or freezes, but in the 10hrs since going to nodo i have had to pull my battery twice because of freezing and yes it is faster...
[Venue Pro General] richlee111:
You can get one fix but not both;) This is why the Dell Venue Pro specific update(most likely firmware) is still needed and will hopefully fix all of these issues(hopefully).

BTW, are you on Fido in Canada? If so, I did not know that Dell released a version of the DVP with Fido/Rogers frequencies.

good to see roms coming out for diamond still..

currently m in my kitchen looking at the stuffs you have removed. namely manila and lock stream drm..

i see no reason for the scroll problem on the removal of these two packages. i wud suggest you to try a different build version. thats the first step i try when i have a device related problem like scroll...

also i suggest you to check if you can change ringtone tunes. cos lock stream drm has a lot to do with that functionality...

EDIT: i watched the video...in that you have changed the notifications and its accepting...so means no problem..

keep trying...thats how i got my best rom i use with absolutely no bugs...

ya i know but it make problems when i start build my rom..........(i'm using osKitchen Zero v1.33.5)

Thanx ayyu3m for this advice was really useful
