I deleted these keys and installed v0.2.1.0. The time stamp for messages on the watch is fixed, thanks! :)

On previous versions, while on the phone with my Bluetooth headset, the watch would lose its signal every minute or so. On this version, the watch didn't lose its connection, but my headset did! :eek: I've only been on one call so far and will continue to monitor it, but could this be due to something that changed in this version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] victoradjei:
This sounds suicidal! Please don't :eek::eek:

Cmon guys, none of you isn't using or never have used the watch paired along with an A2DP headset? need to know, how it behaves - if it works, cuz it's quite important for me to know,before i order the watch

EDIT: I read the thread again and found both pro's and con's :D dunno what to think, i have SE headset and someone wrote, that his headset doesen't work, but that might be cuz his headset has it's own display and he's using jetware or whatever :) so if anyone could send feedback, if it works or doesn't work, i'd be really happy :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
I second that!!! LOL

I got the Sony Ericsson HBH DS970 when the watch and the headsed are both conected, the music stutters,what ever I use WMP or TCPMP the incoming and outgoing call sound is bad, as soon as the watch is disconected the headset works fine.

How ever

If I have the headset connected to my computer ( with a dongle with widcomm BT stack) the headset will switch to my phone if there is incoming calls no problem and back to the computer when the call is finish, all this with the watch connected.

Said this, the watch works with Jabra BT8010 which have display and vibrate function and if If Iam not mistaken it does works also with the Nokia HS-12W both A2DP headsets

Hope it help you.

By the way if anybody else is using HBH DS970 with this app

I would like to know if are any problems, also is any body using WM6.1? I will test that rom soon and wil be interesting to know if there is any issues just to eliminate posible problems from the list.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Slayer23:
Thanx for answer, the problem in your case seems to be in the DS970 combined with the watch, i guess those two things are using the exact same technology for the display and that could mess up the things a bit, i just hope it will work for me, since i don't have any display on my headset and so i should use only A2DP profile :) and if not, i hope moneytoo will look into it in time :)

BTW about WM 6.1 - i had Swiftblades roms in my touch for a long time (from 3.0 to 5.0) and now, i have switched to CloudyFa's SHADOW 2.1 (TE) and my biggest problem - my headset was disconnecting after each call and i had to reconnect it manually, completley disappeared (in Swiftblades BLUE Elves 5.0 (his first WM 6.1 release. the headset disconnected only after i pressed the end button myself, if the other person hang up, the headset remained connected), so guess that upgrade to WM 6.1hould be just could make things better
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sci05:
I second what this guy is saying. I have a HBH-DS970 and would love it if the prog could be incorporated into it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
The problem with these headsets is that they use the "Handsfree" profile to communicate to the phone. The Sony watch uses the serial port profile. I asked moneytoo earlier if he can change his application to do this also, and he said he would look into it. The way you have to do it is, you put in a DLL in the communication channel between the device and the microsoft bluetooth stack on the phone. Microsoft provides this mechanism and it's built in. This is how the Jetware extension does it.

As far as problems with the headset disconnecting, for the A2DP headset... try increasing the bitpool registry setting to something like 40 or 50 and see if you get a better connection. The sound quality will most definitely be better anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
where in the registry is the bitpool ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Just search for it in the registry... you'll find it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beginner:
MONEYTOO, did you have the chance to think about?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
does anybody else have an issue with their watch only lasting about 14 hrs from a full charge
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bremair:
You could train the akku and find also postings about it. My watch is at 66% after one week of use (10h/day).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Have not charged mine for 6 days now and it's still at 3/4 battery. All day use, with lots of email notifications also!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bremair:
With the new version I got an error when it should starts of its own after a softreset.

Isn't it possible that the watch/app do am autoconnect after a softreset? So that it runs as well as before the softreset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Well the thing is.. the app WAITS for the watch to initiate the connection. That's why it tells you to push a button on the watch. So.. it would be technically impossible. I'm sure moneytoo would have automated this if it was possible.:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bremair:
For me my PPC did a backup every day at 18:00. But now I have to start sWM manually, it would be nice when it start itself and I only have to push a button on the watch. But the autostart option didn't run very well.

One time the app start with an error and closed, other time I have to click "Start" or start the app completely by myself.

You could do me a favor and perform a softreset and try to pair the watch with only the request button to press.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
could you guys do me a favour and check what firmware your watch is, you can do this by going into pairing mode on the watch (when the watch is vibrating with the pairing arrows chasing each other) and the press bottom right 5 times !

mine is 1201- 3478:01
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McDoPDA:
Mine is the same.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
and your watch lasts more than 14 hours ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wgary:
Less than a day here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
If you have problems with cotinuous reconnections, headset/watch disconnection and reconnection, please try this test version: smartwatchm.zip (just replace this exe file, start sWM and register your COM port one more time).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paultnl:
mine is the same, I can get about 14.5 hours if I am lucky. How do we upgrade the watch firmware?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skiddy:
Mine is the same and I get about a week or so:D. I have not really had the watch long enough to find a pattern but one of the SWM software versions the watch seemed to be going empty very quickly (I did play around with RSS at that time too). Since I received the watch about 2 weeks ago, I have charged it three times and the last charge is still showing full. Charging was done within a little less than 2 hours and the watch showed full every time before disconnecting it from the charger. One thing I noticed is that the battery indicator shows full and 2/3 for a long time but once past that it seems to go down in a hurry:(.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] victoradjei:
I did have some issues with notifications from the watch, and when I activate the "sounds" there was a constant symphony from the connect-disconnect cycle, especially when connected to pc by activesync. I tested this and after 2 or 3 cycles without activesync it stopped. I am now connected via activesync and there is no such sound notifications. :cool: Will keep it on to the office and report later in the day.

Update: I still have disconnection notification on the watch although the phone remains silent :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
what version of s/ware are you using, I have now paired it to my GF's w880i so I can see how long it lasts with that ! at least then I can work out if it is just a s/ware issue or a watch issue, I bought mine new from an ebay seller, but you never know it might be a refurb and hence the battery might be in poor condition, if it was not changed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skiddy:
Currently I am using SVM 0.2.1.0, which has a few nice enhancements:D. I bought the watch from a retailer, all looked brand new.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bremair:
also the same.

I bought my from amazon. I got it last tuesday and didn't have to charge it again, its still about 66%.

I'm using the new 0.2.1.0 version of sWM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GuardianZX9:
I am also using the latest version with a MBW-100 and after 8 hours or so my watch shuts off due to depleted battery, I used to have a SE Z710i that I used with the same watch and I would get a week out of the watch without charging.

My watch reports CAH1090866.R1C

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McDoPDA:
I tested the battery permanently connected to my PDA in bluetooth and it lasts 6 full days (24/24).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
ok what phones are you guys using, im using an ameo with the jetware plugin, I think the plugin might be interfering with the watch, but im not sure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bremair:
MDA Vario 3
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
@ Moneytoo, which modes of the watch do you think require the most power, for example I would imagine RSS being the worst as there is a continuous data stream , and also continual use of the display, but which others have a continuous stream of data and which only send data when necessary ?

at the moment I have been linked to an SE phone for 14 hours and im still on full power, but this is because the SE phone does nothing, it only seems to poll the watch when there is a state change, otherwise the watch is sat idle, I much prefer having the additional info your s/ware provides and I dont mind the regular charging but I need to know if my watch is defective or not so I can send it back within the time frame.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
The behaviour of sWM is exactly the same. The battery draining issue must be caused by other software (Jetware definitely could cause this) or by WM itself. Just try it yourself - shut down sWM and the battery life should be the same. Additionaly you can delete even the com port and leave the watch connected.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] delboydell:
Im using an ameo with the original rom, and have the jetware extention installed and have just had to charge the mbw150 for the 2nd time after leaving it on 24/7 for the past 5 days, I also have paired a lg hbm700 and have no problems at all, just unsure of all the functions as I am unable to find any instructions on the thread, I think i have sussed everything bar controlling WMP.

What rrs feed program do you all use also hows the weather side of things work too?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McDoPDA:
HTC S620 and Tréo 750
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PBL1:
Less than a day if continuous use, will see with the new app version

Same firmware version than you, Athena, not Jetware
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GuardianZX9:
I am using 2 different MBW-100's, the metal band and the Black Plastic band, same formware on both.

Both are completely drained after 5-8 hours of being connected to my HTC X7500(Athena)

I do not have Jetware or any other BT software loaded.

I do have a Jabra BT8010 paired and connected in parallel

with the MBW-100.

I can test anything you need me to test, I am also going to try pairing one of the 100's with my Tytn II to see if I get the same results.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wgary:
I am using HTC Advantage with PK3 ROM and Jabra BT8010. Experiencing fairly rapid battery drain, although it has leveled off somewhat.

Also note that I am having some issues with reconnection, if I get too far away for too long. Only solution I have found is to reboot. Restarting the program won't help. Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skiddy:
I am using a HTC Touch Dual with MBW-150 Executive. The Bluetooth connection between the devices is on 24/7. The phone radio is off during the night, i.e. no emails and such.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skiddy:
The weather information is taken from the HTC Home plugin and the RSS feed either from HTC Hub or Newsbreak (basically the same program).

You can either wade through this thread or search it for more info;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] punkokseng:
after removing the CE-Star, sWM works perfectly.

I've upgraded the sWM to 0.2.1.0. tried testing sWM without/with/without (in that sequence) CE-Star and the result is the same.

If you uninstall CE-Star does it make sWM work ok again?[/QUOTE]

If you have less than day battery life - Have you tried btWatch? Any difference?

Would it be possible to use the weather data of Spb Weather?

I don't use the HTC weather plugin.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
I was wondering... when the watch receives a new email/SMS notification, it displays the envelope icon for a couple of seconds, then it displays the actual message. I was wondering, is it possible to shorten the time period the envelope is displayed or take it out alltoghether ? Or does the watch control that ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
hi,

i have some problems with the newly version.

* in ocasions the communication with the watch is lossed, and no autoreconnect

* in other ocasions the smartwathm loss the connection with the watch and the click on a watch button don't restablishes...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
@ moneytoo, I upgraded to the latest version of your s/ware, I deleted my old pairing and incoming com port, and set up from fresh with 0.2.1.0, after pairing and verifying comms I exited your s/ware ! can you confirm that my watch is still bluetooth connected to my phone ?

at the moment if I press top right twice for the time, it shows the correct time, (possibly using internal chronometer) but he bluetooth symbol on the clock screen does not have the <> connection symbol next to it ! also if I press a media button I just get the bluetooth search <<<<B>>>>, However when I did exit your s/ware I did not get an out of range notification on the watch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Disable the envelope on the watch. ;)

Hello Moneytoo

for the moment nothing important to report, works good apprently

the only things are:

unknow.nol logo for private call don't work

voicemail notification still don' t work

about auto bt on , can you auto mute phone ring at same time ? (or make this possible by select it in the setting for the one who don't want this)

appointmentement: reminded or not dont work

i just noticed that apointement (reminded or not) are notified in the watch each time that i am on call with some one and a few minutes after hang up call, it notifies my appointment at time (for exemple appointment at 14h >> watch notifie my at 14h)

and what about all this little things :

but the great improvment would be to fix appointment notification

Thnks a lote Moneytoo

Great job

Having suffered from the short battery syndrome (around 14 hours) I am now about to try my 3rd MBW-150 Executive. One thing I did notice about the new one was that this one arrived with the battery totaly empty the other two arrived with a partial charge. I am now following the initial charging instructions to the letter and will report back how I get on.

Can anyone remember what condition the battery was in when they first got thier watch?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] axle7517:
for me it was cmpletly empty

my mbw - 150 battery time is something like 3 o 4 weeks, having bt of on watch each night and quite all day in sunday

i just isntal the las version of smartwatch, i will report tomorow if i have the same probleme
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pernod99:
Yes it do not work very well :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
my battery was half charged when I received it !

So far I have had it on an SE phone for 26 Hrs continuous and it is still showing 100% then WITHOUT recharging I have connected it to my phone, but not connected my headset (so not using jetware) and also exiting smartwatch, it is definitely connected, because if I turn my phone off I get the lost connection indicator on the watch.

So far it has been 16 Hrs and still showing 100% total runtime so far 42 Hrs, I must admit I have also switched over to the new version of smartwatch, and I completly cleared out the old install including the paring to the watch so this is using new settings in my registry, I dont know if any of those settings could affect power though, like broadcast strength or something so next to try will be turning on smartwatch without my headset to see if it still lasts !

PS my old registry setting were created using the .reg files
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Aha! :) I was under the impression that if I did that, it will stop receiving notifications! LOL Thanks! :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JimSmith94:
I have previously reported issues where my MBW-150 would lose its connection every minute or so while I was on a call with my Bluetooth headset. Last night I upgraded my Sprint Mogul to the new DCD WM6.1 GPS ROM. The watch didn't lose its connection, but my headset beeped and lost its connection about a minute or two into the conversation on a couple different calls.

Previously I always followed the directions to pair the watch first, then the headset. Do you think it would help if I paired the headset first? Naturally, I need the headset to work consistently, and can live with occasional disconnections of the watch.

Any other ideas of what to try to get these two devices to coexist with each other?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
Ok im still testing but I think I have narrowed down the battery issue to an incompatibility wth my headset !

I managed 26 hrs on an se phone, 22 hours on my athena connected to bluetooth but without smart watch running, and 3.5 hours ago I enabled smartwatch.

All in all my swatch has been running for 51.5 hours continuously and is still showing 100% battery I will keep an eye on the battery with smartwatch but I think it is my headset causing problems!

I tested last night with BTwatch and the battery drain isnt nearly as bad, i went for 5+ hours with no noticable drain, then i connected a headset as well and the overnight drain with both connected is about 20% gone on the watch, with SmartWatch it was 100% drain.

G
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GuardianZX9:
Strike that last comment, when I woke up I pressed the top button to see the battery status and it was 80% but 3 min later the watch vibrated and wen to sleep due to a dead battery.

It is looking like something going on with having a headset paired and connected at the same time.

more testing today.

I'm looking forward to buy a stereo bt headset. Can anyone suggest one? I prefer a in-ear headset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GuardianZX9:
There are 3 pretty good headsets that I know of:

Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 (In Ear, Pendant Style)

Nokia HS-12W (In Ear, Pendant Style)

Jabra BT8010 (On Ear, Removable Left ch)

All are good quality and support Caller ID on a front display, the

Jabra is a convertable that allows you to remove the left channel all together.

The Jabra seems to be the least expensive at around $55 street, the other two are over $100 street.

The Jabra works well for me and the audio quality is ok, but the bass is limited.

I tried today with the TytnII and both the MBW-100 and my BT8010, I had them connected all day and the battery still shows %100.

I am going to try a factory WM6.0 rom on the Athena today to see if its something with PK Black Touch 3.0 ROM.

BTW, the drain with BTWatch 0.1.8 was less but still faster than a connection to a Sony Phone.

I will post my findings later.
