Have you unpaired from the phone too? What's your watch model?

Please, unpair from the watch, unpair from the phone and try to connect again with BlueWatcher.

I have a GB-X6900B and it's working fine.

I remember you that play/pause button only works with default Android music player (as it does G-Shock+ app).

I released this version with music control to get feedback from you in order to support all watches. After all works for you I will add advanced phone control functions.

Thanks for your feedback, I will change BlueWatcher with your help.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hello,

First of all, Have you tried to unpair the watch from the watch itself and the phone (bluetooth settings)? It seems the watch remember previous version services. I'm debugging the app with your help and your watch models.

Do not worry about the transliteration ... I will add "ş" -> "s" in next revision!
[Other SmartWatches] csx3:
I also tested music control...

Volume control works great but play pause doesn't work with sony walkman app and on google player it only stops and doesn't start the music

And it also can't start any player andplay the last song like g-shock+ app

(tested with sony xperia z1 compact rooted stock rom with gb-6900b)
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Have you all services enabled? Notifications, time sync and music control?

Sony walkman uses other commands to play/pause. I will try to add support. Android player is working for me in android 4.4.2. I can control it while playing music. I'm analyzing Spotify support too. Does gshock+ official app supports Walkman control?

I will try to publish new release this week with all those fixes. But i need your feedback.
[Other SmartWatches] csx3:
Yes, i've enabled all.

G-shock+ starts the walkman appand can control it. Maybe it depends on the android version... I use 4.4.4

An other thing, 2nd i testet the reconnection feature at the first time it doesn't work after exit the app,

then i deleted the pairing in the Bluetoothsettings paired it again and now it works (first, after update to new bluewatcher version i deleted allp pairinginformation)

But at the moment bluewatcher says control service not available
[Other SmartWatches] eeun:
Thanks. Yup, after fiddling around repairing a few times I got all services running together. When I enter control mode now the display scrolls "BlueWatcher<" but the buttons do nothing... aside from the volume up button, that turns the watch light on.

Nexus 5 stock kitkat / 5600B.
[Other SmartWatches] csx3:
I've the same problem and after i uninstalled the app inclusive delete pairinginformation on watch and phone phone control is now unchecked again and the others are checked

edit i deleted only the pairing on the watch and now music control works again like before
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Solving problem with Phone Control

The watch is recording data about available services. I did next test and it runs for me (GB-X6900B and Galaxy Note 3).

If you are in BlueWatcher 1.0.1 connected and running:

1. Exit BlueWatcher.

2. Clear pairing from the watch

3. Clear pairing from the Bluetooth Settings of the phone.

4. Install/Update BlueWatcher 1.0.2.

5. IMPORTANT: Try to connect to a "new" watch. Select another memory slot in the watch to connect (different from previous). For example, if you cleared SLOT 1... try to connect with SLOT 2. More info here

6. If it fails or do not connect... try again. Exit BlueWatcher and try to pair again (second time you enter BlueWatcher you will be able to autoconnect)

If you are in BlueWatcher 1.0.2 and Phone Control Service is not available

:

1. Exit BlueWatcher.

2. Clear pairing from the watch

3. Clear pairing from the Bluetooth Settings of the phone.

4. Open BlueWatcher.

5. IMPORTANT: Try to connect to a "new" watch. Select another memory slot in the watch to connect (different from previous). For example, if you cleared SLOT 1... try to connect with SLOT 2. More info here

6. If it fails or do not connect... try again! Exit BlueWatcher and try to pair again (second time you enter BlueWatcher you will be able to autoconnect)

NOTE: Once BlueWatcher is connected and watch records data about this new functional connection... all will run correctly next times.

Please, give me feedback about this proposed solution. If it runs I will advice this procedure in-app and in BlueWatcher Instructions.

Thanks for your help!

Stb-1000 sony xperia sp

hi,

new apk 1.0.2 crashes on start-up...i've sent a feedback log. tried clearing cache/data and force stop app. no joy :( any way to roll back to the last working apk? or do i need to go through the whole un-pairing as detailed?

currently no working Bluewatcher.

cheers
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Have you Bluetooth activated? There is a minor bug that BlueWatcher tries to use Bluetooth components at startup without requesting bluetooth activation. Please, exit BlueWatcher, activate Bluetooth and start BlueWatcher again.

I'm working to solve this problem and will release it today...

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
[Other SmartWatches] chibsatron:
edit : works now only by starting bluetooth first then launching the app...where it used to ask you to allow bluetooth on app boot...

BlueWatcher 1.0.2 re-published!

Hello,

I published a regenerated 1.0.2 version of BlueWatcher. It includes all 1.0.2 features plus:

- Bluetooth activation on BlueWatcher startup (no more crashes if bluetooth is disabled!)

- "Music control" option shows detailed information if BlueWatcher does not detect "phone control service". Click "More Info" button and read instructions on the BlueWatcher webpage. I commented the problem (http://www.bluewatcher.es/manual.php)

- New transliteration characters.

Sorry for the problems! It will be available in few hours!
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Is there anybody there with BlueWatcher running on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4?

Some users are having problems but I can't do anything.

Thanks a lot.

GBA-400 connected!

Hello!

Good news! I'm connected to GBA-400 model!

Doing nothing... BlueWatcher 1.0.2 synchronized correctly date & time with GBA-400.

Now I'm going to discover available services in GBA-400 to simulate notifications.

Bye

Phone control on stb-1000 sony xperia walkman app

hi, phone control is showing as active on the app and watch but i can't get it to control any music app....might just be the sony walkman app isn't supported? i've also tried the google music app.

also after disconnect from the app and phone every time i reconnect it's asking me to pair the watch and phone via bluetooth where it used to just auto recognize and re-connect?

i've followed the instructions of deleting the old pairing from the phone and on the watch memory.

any ideas on any of this?

cheers...keep up the good work :good:
[Other SmartWatches] piotr.pot:
Since 1.0.2 not working anymore. I could only control the music player. Tried all your suggestion, cleared all pairing from phone, from watch, removed and reinstalled BW, also tried another slots. No luck.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hello Piotr.pot!

I'm thinking about your problem since I added phone control capabilities. I think it can be a problem opening client and server at same time on the phone. Maybe when the watch connects to the phone server it ends searching more services.

I can do a change... and make a connection to the watch and when notification and time sync services are discovered from BlueWatcher, open the server in order to connect the watch to the phone in this order. Doing this I can be sure about the order of services discovery.

Piotr.pot... can I send you the APK in order to test with your watch? I do not have this problem so I can't test it. The APK will be a pseudo 1.0.3 version. Once you test it, when official 1.0.3 is published you will have to uninstall it. This pseudo 1.0.3 version has license check too.

Please, send me a private message with an email account.

See you
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Are notifications working for you?

Music play/pause button is executing a concrete Android command and it can change for different Android versions, players, etc. Which Android version do you have?

I will add support for most important players (Sony Walkman, Poweramp, Spotify...). Now play/pause button is only for testing purposes.

Sorry, but BlueWatcher do not manage memory for Bluetooth connections. It only tries to connect and send/receive data so phone pairing is a responsability of Android.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Solving connection problems

BlueWatcher clients complain about connection problems. You are right!. As far as we don't have full access to the watches protocol we discovered that maybe there is a problem with bluetooth vinculation.

Current problems:

- BlueWatcher shows "Connected" and watch is trying to connect infinitely... even if you clear pairing information.

- BlueWatcher connects but with limited available services.

We followed next steps and it runs for us:

1. Exit BlueWatcher.

2. Exit G-Shock+ official application.

3. Clear pairing information from the watch.

4. Clear pairing information from the phone. "Bluetooth Settings" and dissassociate if it's associated

5. IMPORTANT: Before starting BlueWatcher, disassociate/associate watch and phone from

Android "Bluetooth Settings"

- Enter

Android "Bluetooth Settings"

- Activate Bluetooth discovery from the watch

- When you discover your watch, click on it and associate from Android "Bluetooth Settings"

- Watch will appear in Android as associated and bluetooth discovery on the watch will stop.

6. Once you associated watch and phone from Android "Bluetooth Settings" you can start BlueWatcher.

7. Activate Bluetooth discovery from the watch

8. Try selecting your watch using "Select Watch". From 1.0.2 version it can reconnect automatically too.

Please, follow those steps and give me feedback. If this is the solution I will advise with in-app messages!

Thanks for your collaboration!

Another problem with cyrillic. When an incoming call not display the first letter of the name.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
It was reported by other users. I will try to solve it in next version.

Thanks for your feedback.
[Other SmartWatches] treker73@gmail.com:
Thank you. We are waiting.
[Other SmartWatches] Toje2:
Well I am back to using my G-Shock finally.

Thanks again for the awesome app.
[Other SmartWatches] Fabris30:
Hi

I found a difference between the official program and software masterjc13 BlueWatcher .

usually imposed notifications on the clock with the display+vibration .

Except for notification allowed lost signal with Smartphones (only display to save power ) , imposed with official app and everything works as it should .

As soon as I start the app BlueWatcher lose SETTING only display and return to functional display + vibration .

Do you have ideas ?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Are you talking about link loss notification? BlueWatcher do not implements Link Loss Service so BlueWatcher do not control the notification type when connection is broken. It's not yet implemented.
[Other SmartWatches] Fabris30:
Yes

I mean the notification loss of connection .

I thought that these settings are stored on the clock ....

thanks
[Other SmartWatches] Toje2:
Well everything but play/pause is working

I use GoneMAD, Audible and Soundcloud. None respond. Volume works Though.

Using a S4 Mini on 4.4.4 with a GB-6900B
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hi,

Next BlueWatcher release will include:

- Support for CASIO G-Shock GBA-400 (pseudo-notifications and phone control)

- Music control improvements (changed play/pause mechanism)

- Cyrillic translation problems solved

- Some minor bug fixes
[Other SmartWatches] menno3000:
Great news! This wil get you another customer :)

But could you elaborate a little on 'pseudo notifications, and phone control'

Will I see, whatsapp messages scroll by (in the form of, SENDER NAME | 15 first characters of message)

Will I see email notifications (in the form of, SENDER NAME | 15 first characters of subject)

Could I control any music application on the phone?

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Now I'm writting instructions for GBA-400 in bluewatcher.es. When I publish BlueWatcher 1.0.3 I will publish GBA-400 instructions too in the web.

In short, GBA-400 does not offer Vibration(that's why I call them "pseudo"). Notifications content in GBA-400 are the same notifications as you can find in other CASIO models with BlueWatcher but without vibration when a notification arrives. You can read current BlueWatcher User's Guide in order to discover what you will see in your watch alerts.

Another important point is that GBA-400 do not offer reconnection and if you do not press any button of the watch, the watch will disconnect automatically after some hours. We can't do nothing about this... it's hardware implementation but if it disconnects, you can autoconnect automatically from the watch and you will see a notification in the watch notifying you have missed alerts while you were not connected.

I'm working to set the alarm at current time to make the watch sound as an notification alert (in case of incoming call). Do you like this idea? The problem of this solution is that I can set alarm to next minute... so if a call arrives at 18:30:23sec... alarm will sound at 18:31.

Phone control in BlueWatcher 1.0.3 for GBA-400 will be:

- Button for NEXT song

- Button for PREVIOUS song

- Button to PLAY/PAUSE song

- Control wheel will manage your music volume.

They are fixed controls but in next versions will be configurable and with extended functions.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
I look for Beta Testers!

Hello,

I'm looking for Beta Testers for BlueWatcher. Before I publish the official version I will publish a Beta version and only registered users will have access to Beta versions. Once the official version is published, you can install it again.

I need two Beta Testers for every watch model.

Please, send me a private message with your Google mail and your watch model.

The first sending me a message for a concrete model will be the Beta testers for this watch model

.

I need a Beta Tester for:

GB-5600A

GB-5600B

GB-6900A

GB-6900B

GB-X6900B

STB-1000

GBA-400

The only requirement to be a Beta Tester is

sending me feedback 24 hours after publishing Beta version

. If I do not receive feedback in 24 hours I will invite another user to be the Beta tester for this watch model.

Thank you very much!

I want to buy a g-shock watch GB 6900B for my boyfriend for Christmas. He has a sony xperia Z1 compact. Will it work? Is the watch compatible with this model?

Sorry but I'm not very good at technology and I don't really understand much......but he will [robably know what to do with it :p

Thank's!!!

music control

Thanks for the update. The pairing worked perfectly first time with all services ticked. Just going to mention that on my watch the control mode doesn't do anything, it does say "BlueWatcher" in the corner though. I'm using the 5600B with a nexus5 and android lollipop. I decided to try the official app and after a long and tedious sync period the ctrl mode did start/stop and skip on my music player (I use n7player if it makes a difference). But I'm back on BlueWatcher now.

I captured a log file if you want it (I pressed each button once then the bottom right one a bunch of times). It seems that the top right button doesn't send anything, the top left button sends a write command on handle 0x002a, value 1031. The bottom right is value 1032. Here's the file but I don't think there's any more magic to it...

[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hello and thanks for your feedback!

Does bluewatcher 1.0.2 worked for you when controlling music?

I have GB-X6900B and GBA-400.. so tested with those models.

For other watch models I activated a log if bluetooth instruction for a concrete button is not understood by BlueWatcher. Please, connect bluewatcher and, while having BlueWatcher in focus with screen ON, press watch button. If BlueWatcher does not understand command you will see an Android Toast with command instruction data. Do you see this message?

I tested music control with Sony Walkman app too.
[Other SmartWatches] eeun:
Yeah, I had the same issue with 1.0.2. And no, no message shows on the BlueWatcher app. If there's anything else you want me to try then give me a shout. Cheers.
[Other SmartWatches] jpdraw:
Happy to be a beta tester, i have a 5600B.

Thanks for all your work
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Thanks for your help.

Please send me a private message with your google mail address. I will add you as a beta tester!

See you
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Maybe you can be a beta tester to test early releases with debug messages in order to improve STB-1000 support since I can't test it in-situ.
[Other SmartWatches] Toje2:
I am happy to beta test too with my GB-6900B.

I have paid for the app, and tested I think the earliest versions.

The play pause is working for me now.

Only things I would wish for now is the ability to send a message from tasker, showing the playing song, and skipping songs.

Probably a lot of work, but I am happy with the app :)
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Hello,

Send me a private message with your gmail account and I send you an invitation to be a beta tester.

We discovered that Music control is not working in STB-1000 because this watch send different bluetooth commands. Users helped us and we will add music support for STB-1000 this week.

Once music control is working in almost all watches I will implement new advanced features (phone finding, configuring button functions....)

See you

STB-1000 connecting problems

Hi,

I updated yesterday and I'm having problems with 1.0.3 connection. When I activate the watch BT, BW says connected after a few seconds (exactly when watch stops blinking BT icon), but the "phone to watch" still flashes for a few seconds and then the watch either begins flashing the BT again or stops BT completely (with BW saying "Reconnecting...").

I did leave it on and eventually it made the connection, but that is a few minutes from when I enabled it. Also I don't know if it was at the 2nd automatic attempt or later. Did not try the normal reconnection (when too far from phone).

Using a log today, I noticed entries "E/bt-att ( 2266): GATT_INSUF_ENCRYPTION" on each attempt except for the last one (when I felt the watch vibrate I made a log dump; this was 11 minutes after the activation).

So my question is why it has encryption problems that are solved over time?

PS: I did try with manual removing and remaking the pairing, clearing BW application data and/or reinstalling it, phone restart. Nothing worked for manual start.

I will try to compare the attempts between them, but now I am at work and don't want to waste more time with this.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
First of all, thanks for your valuable feedback!

As I have explained before, I'm so sorry for all the inconvenients with STB-1000 because I do not have this model (I only own a GB-X6900B and a GBA-400). So all your help is welcome!

I think I have mentioned that I discovered that CTRL commands on STB-1000 are different from other watch models so I will add support in next version.

On the other hand, I paste you a comment from one BlueWatcher's user:

For stb 1000 easy correctlly for first connect :

First time: 1) Connect phone with watches by bluetooth ( bluewatcher is off). When connect is on in watches shown bluetooth icon .

2) Power off bluetooth in wathches .

3) Dispair watches in phone .

4) Start Bluewatcher

5) start bluetooths in watches . ( Bluewatcher find stb 1000, shown status connected , but without aviable services )

6) wait some seconds , and in phone show message : pair Your STB 1000 ? Click yes .

7) wait 3-4 seconds and watches connect to the phone and began in control mode.

This steps help me to connect watches with bluewatcher for one time .

if then watches disconnected and not connected automatically (its constant problem ) - must go from step 3

The error you found "GATT_INSUF_ENCRYPTION" happens when watch and phone are not paired! Did you paired watch and phone manually before using BlueWatcher? If you do manual pairing, wait until watch stops flashing connection animation. Look at step 6 too... it only connects when pairing was requested and executed.

Maybe I will improve pairing process from BlueWatcher requesting "bonding" if the watch is not paired.
[Other SmartWatches] mathew7:
Very strange about the 1st pairing without BW, unpair from the phone only, followed by BW pairing.

It worked on 1st try (I went from step 3), but does this happen with other watches or only STB-1000?

As for the GATT_INSUF_ENCRYPTION, I got this while I was paired, which was done from scratch (i.e. unpair on both ends and then connect them). Pairing was done once with BW (like step 6) and manually without BW (like step 1) in another try. Both were followed by that message.
[Other SmartWatches] piotr.pot:
Moved to Xperia Z3C and BW 1.0.3. Now everything works fine.

When we going to CTRL on watch to control phone we can see 'BlueWatcher' on watch's display (BT server name string or something as I understand). On stock CASIO app there were a song name. What about possibility to display there current phone status like % of battery or current temperature from weather app insteed of just string 'BlueWather'?

request 2:

Option in 'BlueWatcher settings' to disable toast reconnecting message. It's too urgent, for example when typing on keyboard in another app.
[Other SmartWatches] masterjc13:
Oooh good news!

Do you see a Song name in CTRL mode? Which watch model do you have? I have a GB-X6900B and I only see "MUSIC".

Future BlueWatcher versions will have a Battery level alert service. I have two ideas:

1. You configure battery levels in order to receive an alert.

2. Switch CTRL mode to a battery level function where you will be able to send to the watch battery level for example.
[Other SmartWatches] shade_:
I have different question. Are you thinking about other platform, like Win8.1 or Blackberry? You can install Android apps in Blackberry but it's native, with no notification in app. What do you think about this?
[Other SmartWatches] odomandr:
I left a review on your app in play but then found this thread. I don't want a refund. Hopefully we can work together on the note 4 with 6900b. Do you have anyone helping test this device? I've been kinda out of the loop with this stuff til just recently again

Hi !

At first, my appologize for my english.... :D
