Sorry but BlueWatcher is based on Google Play Services and can't be executed on an emulator.

Porting code to those Operating System is hard too so now it's impossible. :(
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hello and thanks for your support!

Current BlueWatcher version shows alert on phone but can't be removed until new alert comes. In next versions you will be able to remove the message pressing any watch button or reading the notifications on your phone.

Functionality will arrive gradually.

See you!

Hello!

Nobody is helping me with Note 4 support. There are several users with the same problem so I decided to remove all Note 4 models from supported phones.

You are welcome to help me! Contact BlueWatcher support mail to tell you instructions.

See you!
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
I don't understand your question.

Are you trying to connect using bluewatcher or official G-shock+ app?

If you bought the app and are having problems contact BlueWatcher Support (support@bluewatcher.es). I will publish here any final conclusion!

See you!

Hi [MENTION=976490]majestic13[/MENTION], I'm about to buy a new G-shock the GBA-400, it's a shame that this model does not include vibration function, but in comparison to other bluetooth models from casio, I prefer this one cause it looks better. Thank you for your effort, making such a good app for G-shock users, after buying the watch I will immediately buy your app on google play. Cheers and have a good day. :)

Music control not working with Note 3 and GB5600B

Hi MasterJ,

The music control is not working with the GB5600B (everything else is working well). After following the instructions (reset everything), BW saids that I have music control, but when I sent a instruction (play/stop or music up) I get a message saying: Unrecognized button:EDE=

This is with the default music application.

So, I guess, the watch sends the command, but the application does not recognize it.

I want to remaind you, that the 5600, only has two buttons that can be used (upperleft->play/pause ; bottom right-> lower music)

Hope this help

JP

PS: By the way, when my watch disconnect from the phone, when it reconects I do not have any more the option to control music.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Thanks for your valuable info!

I need all the unrecognized commands. Every watch model sends different commands. 1.0.4 will add full support for STB-1000, GB-6900 and GBA-400 models.

Please, push all the control buttons and send me the associated messages.

Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] menno3000:
hi!

I bought your app for GB-400.

I deleted all pairing info, I deleted gshock+

I installed your app 1.03.

I open it, and press the connect button on the gba-400/

I see CONNECTED in green on your app...

on my watch it keeps blinking CONNECT

and after a wile my watch shuts down....

Ayuto, Socorro, Help! :)
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hello, I will try to help you.

Have you followed instructions at www.bluewatcher.es/manual.php?

You need to pair watch and phone from android bluetooth settings. Please, begin again following instructions.

It's not necessary to uninstall G-shock+. Stop it only.

Tell me your results!

Unrecognized button:EDE=

If you tell me where else to look at, i will be happy to do it.

Thanks again

Jp
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Do you see the same message when you press both buttons? EDE= is the button bluetooth command that I will add but I don't know if both buttons send the same command.
[Other SmartWatches] menno3000:
Thanks I got it working after some fiddling. Sometimes it doesnt work for no specific reason. All us here on XDE will get it to work but maybe

some very normal buyers of the watch with no tech interest might find this unworkable. If you could.. i would advise you to ease the setup procedure, ... if you can :)

Last thing, PLAY/PAUSE doesnt work right in MUSIC control?

Thanks so far and good luck with the deveolpemnt. As soon as you have some money you might want to get a GUI designer as well. Great job!
[Other SmartWatches] Martin-Doc:
A nice feature would be that when the watch is out of reach, the phone will demand a password protection for the lockscreen.

For me, it only works with n7 player app. I would be nice to control all the music players, such as Google Play Music which I am using most of the time.

The behavior is the same when using the Casio G-Shock+ app.
[Other SmartWatches] jpdraw:
Hi,

Yes i get the get the same message with both buttons.

hi, i bought your app yesterday, all the features are working except music control, it keeps telling me that maybe my watch does not have phone control function or i need to re-pair, reset bluetooth, i've tried many times but still not working.

i'm using z1, rooted with deodexed rom. The watch is gb-6900b.

i tried the official app but it can't connect to the watch.
[Other SmartWatches] mathew7:
So I have an update here (STB-1000):

After following the instructions, I had to unpair the watch every time It got disconnected. I don't know what happened during last week, but all of a sudden it started working like before.

However, I did notice one thing: when it had problems reconnecting, on successfull connection it went into control mode (maybe that changed from 1.0.2?). Now, when it's working correctly, I don't have the control mode and BW shows it's not available. So maybe the watch disabled it internally? Could there be some bugs in the watch firmware? (don't answer that)

PS: I am also willing to test with the debug-versions.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Can you tell me what can you see in 'Show available services' option?

If "Phone Control" is checked, do you see a message in your phone when you press a button on the watch?
[Other SmartWatches] pumbavn:
it's not checked, i tried the old version of g-shock+ and it works, but i still prefer using your app for more functions, could u help me pls ?

beside, for the phone control features, is it posible for us to control the camera? it'll be cool if we can do selfie without holding the phone :p
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Next BlueWatcher 1.0.4 version will add more debug information in the message you see when you press a button. Now it's the same message for the buttons but I added more info in order to see the difference. If I can't see the difference, I can't execute different functions :crying:

BlueWatcher 1.0.4 is in beta testing (STB-1000 full music control support). It will be published this week.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hello,

Check this POST to obtain more info. Please, unpair from watch and phone and start again from the beginning. Follow detailed instructions in www.bluewatcher.es/manual.php and the POST.

Please, if you have more problems contact BlueWatcher support .
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hello again,

First of all, thank you very much for your valuable information and work.

I have to review with more detail how the watch works. It's very difficult to implement connection procedure without Casio protocol information. Now it's "sometimes working" because I spent several hours trying to simulate connection protocol. Maybe I can solve the problems we have now but I need more hours.

It's strange too that when I pair and connect my watches and all services are running, I have no problems after that. I think the watch has "state" or "memory" and that's the reason why you have to unpair and pair thousand times :(

I have several hypothesis: 1) watch state 2) discovering order 3) watch connects at an specified order and BlueWatcher does not implement all services....

When you are programming a client and a server, it's easier to debug if you control both components... but this time I can only do hypothesis in how the watch works and try it.

Here in Spain, GB-6900 models have been removed from the marked because of connection problems.

But here we are to try it :victory:

You can be a beta tester if you send me your gmail account!

See you and thanks again. I'm not alone!!

What's new?

Solved music control problem for CASIO STB-1000

Pairing information in connection process. Need to pair manually

Ability to configure reconnection message

Minor bug fixes

Refering to STB-1000 problems, here you have a useful tip from a BlueWatcher Beta Tester (thanks to Matei).

STB-1000 instructions

It seems I found a way to control the "control" :D

First pairing is still a problem, but once a pairing is done, I can do the following:

1. Exit BW, start watch BT and start BW. BW will make a new pairing (note: no manual unpairing done) and connection goes with phone control active. But reconnection fails continuously.

2. Restart phone BT, start watch BT and "select watch" from BW. Watch connects without phone control and reconnection works (at least in b2, not tried with final yet).

This seems to be a pattern which I tried about 5-6 times (switching between control and non-control).

At least now I can use music controls at work and reconnection at home.﻿

stb-1000

hi, just some further notes on the stb-1000......there are some really bad connection issues going on as outlined above but once connected the music control for the default music app works well. I know it's not supported but thought folk might be interested the volume up and down works on Spotify...but no other buttons and the play/pause actually over-rides Spotify and causes the default player app to start playing music instead.....good work it's getting there :good: shame about the hassle getting this watch connected....hopefully that can be resolved!
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Spotify does not implement default Android commands (AKA Intents) so it's not possible to control it until I use Spotify API and make BlueWatcher configurable to control specific music players. The current BlueWatcher implementation is the same as official G-Shock+ app. Future releases will include Spotify control (you will be able to configure from BlueWatcher).

Thanks for the useful information!

Hello,

As I explain somewhere in my web (don't remember where) BW sniffs all notifications but sometimes this sniffer shuts down. Please, try one of those steps:

1) Enter "BlueWatcher Settings" and click MODIFY on Android Notification Settings. Once here disable and enable again BlueWatcher option. Restart BlueWatcher and try again.

2) Restart your phone.

Those steps will re-execute notifications interceptor.

Further to this I would love to answer calls with a button whilst driving as my phone is always plugged in to the stereo aux and its illegal to use your phone whilst driving in the uk unless its hands free.

Even better would be just to make it a 'tasker' task then we can make the buttons do what we want!

[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
1.1.0 is comming...

Hello all,

I'm cooking 1.1.0 version. I think it's a killer version as it includes "Phone control modes". Now, you can only match a fixed amount of functions to your watch buttons. An extended feature that offers G-Shock+ is the ability to configure the funcion of every button. That's good but... it's better to configure infinite buttons. How can we do that? Adding "Control Modes".

A control mode is a fixed combination of functions for every button. BUT one of the buttons is used to CHANGE the control mode. You can define infinite control modes and in every control mode you can configure the command to execute with every button.

Example GB-6900B:

MODE 1

: "MUSIC"

Button 1: Play/Pause

Button 2: Next song

BUtton 3: CHANGE MODE

Mode 2

: "VOLUME"

Button 1: Raise volume

Button 2: Lower volume

Button 3: CHANGE MODE

Mode 3

: "MISC"

Button 1: Show phone battery

Button 2: Silence incoming call

Button 3: CHANGE MODE

You will be able to configure BlueWatcher as shown before. From a 3 buttons watch you get 6 different commands (or even more). GBA-400 has 5 buttons son with 3 control modes you get 12 commands.

Once "Phone control modes" is implemented, it's easy to include different commands as desired. BlueWatcher 1.1.0 will include next selectable commands:

- Play/Pause

- Next song

- Previous song

- Raise volume

- Lower volume

- Show phone battery

- Silence phone volume (an incoming call is silenced too).

What do you think? The development is near to be released as Beta Version.

See you

Hi JC,

Your atethe best! I tested 1.1 with gb 5600b, phone control works well , however i needed to restart the service and reboot to get my notifications back.

This is amazing!

Besides all the commands that you are thinking of and some ideas (camera, torch, ok Google, call last person) could you generate a mode that sends the weather forecast? something like:

T=20 WF=15/28 sunny

Where T is the temp at this moment and WF is the weather forecast

I think that will be a great addition, who needs a triple sensor with that!

Thanks again

Another idea that will convert any gb in the gba400:

A mode that activates Shazam and then gets a message with the name of the song that Shazam just recognized.

You can start selling your GBA400 ;)
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Thank you very much [MENTION=3650995]jpdraw[/MENTION]!

Now I developed an easy way to include new commands to the list of possible commands. Now, it's only a matter of adding the good ones!

Now I want to investigate to add those ones to 1.1.1:

- Send Weather forecast to the watch

- Send phone battery status to the watch

- Start Camera app

- Take a photo

The option to open Shazam is and advanced one as I have to read and test Shazam API to interact with this app. So let me pospone this command to the future :silly:
[Other SmartWatches] Martin-Doc:
As I am not a developer I don't know how much hassle it would be, but wouldn't all this tasks be possible with tasker integration? If the watch could trigger tasker actions, the possibilities would be endless :)

Please take this only as a suggestion for an idea. I very much appreciate all your work you do for our watches.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
I don't know very well Tasker but I think the only one that can be programmed is Battery alert. You program the action "Create Notification" when "You reach X% of Battery". Then you have to listen Tasker with BlueWatcher as a Custom App and you will get an alert when battery is near to a %.

The other ones are more difficult or I don't know how can be done. Think that the watch sends a Bluetooth signal to the phone. Tasker do not includes bluetooth signals capture. So you don't know when a watch button is pressed. What I can do in the future is the ability to set BlueWatcher is "Tasker" mode that the only thing it does is send a signal that Tasker can catch and process. But if this is done, it's difficult to create multiple phone control modes.

The integration of this solution is difficult but possible. My experience is that users want easy things. People who buy Tasker are advanced users as Tasker is also known to be difficult to configure. BlueWatcher can do easy actions with easy configuration. People buy and use apps that integrate useful features with easy configuration.

SUMMARY: It's not possible at a first look to capture Bluetooth signals with Tasker. If it were possible, BlueWatcher has nothing to do ;). The ability to configure Tasker to notify you some phone events is now supported. So the use of personalized notifications is supported and you can use it now. The use of advanced phone control from watch buttons is not possible or I don't know how to capture bluetooth signals.

Problem

Hi !

Impossible to change mode on my gba-400.

Impossible to clear notifications. I tried with each bottom.

I can configure differents mode control on BW but it does not works on the watch.

I received notifications but can't delete it.......
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Is "Phone Control" service available? You will be able to change modes if phone control is available. Clean notifications will work if phone receive button commands so phone control service must be available in this case too.

Do you see an animation in the Bluetooth ON/OFF sphere in your watch when you press a button? Can you control music?
[Other SmartWatches] Othell:
...

Yes, phone control is "on".

I can't do anything with music.....

My watch only receive notifications......
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
What about my last question?

Do you see an animation in the Bluetooth ON/OFF sphere in your watch when you press a button?
[Other SmartWatches] Othell:
.....

Oh, sorry....

No, i can't see any animation when i press button.....
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
It seems the watch doesn't established phone control connection. You have to see an animation around the Bluetooth Sphere.

Please, clear watch and phone pairing information and start the process again until you see this animation. Your watch is not sending bluetooth commands. That's the reason why you can't use phone control capabilities.

Follow instructions in www.bluewatcher.es/manual.php to repair connection.
