Only call notifications work out of the box. Because of the different connection I will have to make another application for this. But I havent started to work on this. Unfortunately I dont have much time for this but maybe some time... :)

i was interested in buying a SE BT watch just to use it with this problem, but it seems that it is still a little buggy and at work... i was wondering if it would be possible to create a bug list?

moneytoo; A seperate application for the LM959 / Vibrating Bracelet would be cool. Let me know if you need some testing done when you get around to it, no rush. Excellent work with smartWatchW!

I have been running for a while taxist rom and I have to say it has problems of bluetooth disconnections with the headset, not with the watch.

Does anybody know if this new fossil watch is compatible with smarthwatchM

http://www.fossil.com/webapp/wcs/st...065&Ne=25&N=4294959642&No=48&imagePath=FX6002

It looks like the abacus, so technically it should be compatible right?

I know this thread is based off the MBW-150, but do all the features work for the MBW-100? Besides the look and design - is there anything technologically different between the watches?

What about battery drain?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] miguel_acedo:
Battery problem

Hi I have just bougt the abacus watch and I manage to install the software in my Athena but I noticed that the battery of the watch drains very quickly it does not last for a day, I am using the radio version 1.47.51.00 and the ROM is the original the 2.19.453.4, do you think that if I upgrade the radio I could obtain a better battery liife?.

Also since it is the Abacus watch it only has two buttons is there a way that when I receive a message I can scroll it in order to read the complete message in the watch? because right now when I receive a message I see only the first part of it in the watch, I also tested the Btwatch software an it has an autoscroll feature so the message is displayed complete, is there a way to enable something like that for this kind of watch or is it possible to enable a button in the watch in order to view all the message?

Thank you and congratulations for this great software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karmarock:
If for you battery drain is an issue like for me, downgrade to wm5 and you'll get 2 weeks of watch's batteries.

AP4 is reported to be good on battery but is a one way ticket (you can't downgrade to standard roms) and has problems.

Watch's battery life on other recent roms has not been reported.

Upgrading radio to 1.57 will not help.

Looking at my signature which is right over your mail anyway would have saved you a question.

Thank you for the wonderful program

Works very well

But I have a problem after use arabizer

Do not show any texts to watch

Shows error 031

Upon arrival sms texts do not appear

The same error appear 031

This error at all the options do not show any texts

I think solve related to fonts

Are there any recommendations to solve this problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Is the SMS written in latin (English) or Arabic? Does the SMS uses any non latin characters, is it in unicode?

Do you see at least the envelope notification on the screen upon the message arrival?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wiaza100:
SMS written in (English) no arabic characters

there no text at all just time and date

when i try to Use any option, such as stopwatch

Not showing any text

But when I disable arabizer

Texts appear again

i have try the btWatch v0.1.8

This problem did not appear

But I'm much better your smarthwatchM Pro :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Ok, I will try to duplicate this issue and fix it.

What Arabizer do you have? SmartNet Pocket Arabizer?

Do you have WM5 or WM6?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wiaza100:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
v1.0.1.2 (20080616)

- added start hidden option on/off (PPC)

Enable this to do not siplay smartWatchM window no matter the watch is connected or not. Available only on PPC, tray icon must be enabled.

- added startup delay option

Add few seconds delay if you receive IOException because smartWatchM opens the port too soon after system start.

- added Samsung backlight fix (test)

The backlight goes on every time you push a button on the watch. Enable this option to put your Samsung device into sleep mode instead of standby. Then Samsung may need press the power button twice to wake up. Tested on Samsung i780. I will test Blackjack I/II later.

- fixed Arabizer compatibility

This should fix wiaza100's issue.

BTW: I have switched from HTC S730 to Samsung i780 as my default device so this will probably motivate me to fix the appointments. :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alfredtv:
moneytoo first off I have to say thank you, I have been using this program since your first release and I have to say that it really turns the watch into a more useful device than SE expected.

One problem, I just upgraded (depends on how you look at it) from the T-Mobile DASH to the HTC Universal (WM6.1) I have tried to get it to connect with the watch and it does pair through the application but I can not get it to connect after that I have changed the COM from 5 - 7 on COM5 it does say waiting for watch..... but when I push buttons on the watch nothing happens

Do you have any info that may help me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
alfredtv

Sometimes the watch may get crazy so try reseting the watch first (enter pairing mode, then press&hold top right and bottom right keys until the display changes) and pair the watch witch WM again. If it wont work just try deleting watch from BT manager, delete the COM port from BT manager and few restarts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skiddy:
Has there been any progress with the Palm application. I would certainly be interested in trying it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightcookie:
moneytoo,

Firstly, saw your great program, bought myself a MBW-150 and am lovin' it! Great work! :)

I have two minor issues with MMS (yes I do use that) that I haven't seen reported, so:

When I receive an MMS,

1) my watch registers one new Email, not a new MMS.

2) MMS details are not shown. The notification on the watch is just the envelope, no details afterwards (so not like the MMS test command).

Using an o2 Trion / HTC TyTN with WM6, the MMS app is ArcSoft's MMS Composer v3.5.2.24C.

Any ideas? Registering MMS as MMS and not Email would be great!

Many thanks,

N.

SPB Traveler's weather

Dear Moneytoo,

This is a great application! I really thank you for the effort.

One request, I understand it works with SPB Weather. However, it doesn't seem to work with the weather component of SPB Traveler. Could you make that miracle happen? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightcookie:
... or the weather component of Spb Mobile Shell?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Nightcookie, p_hsieh:

I will see what I can do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightcookie:
moneytoo,

thanks a lot for looking into this! Anything new on that end?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Hi moneytoo. Here's an idea...

How about user generated notifications ? For example, you could monitor a registry key and if it changes its value, you could trigger a notification with display on the watch ? For example... monitor HKLM\Software\Soft\ "Update" and "TexttoDisplay". If "update" changes from its previous value, then read what's in "TextToDisplay" and display it on the watch a scrolling message ? Hey if you could do this... I would donate another $20 to you... I still use the "dont show senders name in email" option every day :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Nightcookie:

No news yet. But I'm installing these apps right now. :)

NRGZ28:

I had similar idea lomg time ago. I havent used any registry watching so this could be a bit tricky for me. A lot easier (for both me and probably other developers as well) could be following scenario: Create, edit, or copy text file to smartmadsoft\smartWatchM\ext folder and the content of this file would be automatically loaded and displayed on the watch. First and second line separated by new line. Add some vibrate / not vibrate option.. How about this? Is this ok with you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Hey that would be great if you could that! I'll take anything :) The registry method would be more "elegant" IMO, but it's up to you. It shouldn't be too hard to write a subroutine that checks two registry keys every few seconds and then takes action if they do... is it ? I mean you're already pulling info from the registry for your Options...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightcookie:
Gee, thanks! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Both Spb Traveler and Spb Mobile Shell 2 use some binary format for weather forecast. Since this cannot be read easily, support for these apps wont be added.

Version 1.0.2.0 is available now.

- added close connection option

This will enable device option menu without restarting application.

- added bluetooth on/off setting

- added external (3rd party) notification support

More info below.

- fixed compatibility with new version of Pigeon

- minor fixes

------------------

External (3rd party) notifications

This allow anyone to create their custom notification - vibrate the watch, display envelope and two lines of text.

To display this notification, just create or edit any *.txt file in smartWatchm\ext directory. (Read the smartWatchM directory from HKLM\Software\smartmadsoft\smartwatchm, Path).

To display the two lines, save these two lines (separated by new line) as a content of this txt file.

To customize the notification, put any of following commands in the filename. (For example My_notification_EnvelopeOn_TextOff.txt will display only envelope and vibrate.)

EnvelopeOn - display envelope and vibrate (cannot be turned off)

EnvelopeOff (default) - not to display envelope

VibrateOn (default) - vibrate

VibrateOff - not to vibrate

TextOn (default) - load and display content of txt file

TextOff - not to display any text

------------------

Nightcookie:

I havent found any problems in the code. But it may be true. I will configure my phone for MMS and try some time.

NRGZ28:

Here it is. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Awesome man! Quick question... How does your app know when that file gets modified, deleted, etc.. Or how does your app know when I create the file with the specified parameters ? Does it poll the directory every few seconds or something and compare the old file vs. the new file.. or how did you make it work ? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Just thought I'd share this with my fellow Sony watch wearears... Today I opened up the watch to change out the vibrate motor. The stock one is weak and it might as well not be there, I could never feel it. I had an old Tmobile Samsung T219 phone that I no longer needed and was going to throw away. I opened it up and took its vibrate motor, which is a lot more powerful than the one in the watch. I wedged in it between the bottom left corner of the watch and the battery, connected the two wires to the pads underneath and removed the stock motor. Now I have a watch that can actually notify me of things... instead of constantly having to wonder if.. (was the a vibration ?! I better check anyway).. :D

Hi moneytoo!

Just bought the diamond and tried to pair the watch through swm.

It shows "Watch Paired successfully" and with COM 3 & 4 i get "Press any button on the watch" but after that it does not do anything.

Any ideas or registry changes ???

Edit:

Got it to work.

Created a new incoming com port 5 and removed the 'secure connection' check box in bluetooth settings. Then selected com 5 in 'incoming ports'.

Hope this helps other diamond users.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
No matter what I do, I can't it to notify me of anything.... I tried copying the file into the directory with SWM running, editing the file... etc. What am I doing wrong ?

P.S. It seems that the new behavious of the "Hide" softkey when SWM is open is to actually hide the application. Before it was more of a minimize. Do you think we can go back to actually minimizing ? :) And another thing, I noticed that if SWM is already running and you open it a second time, you have two instances running. Maybe some type of self check is in order... :) Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Do you put the text file in smartmadsoft/smartWatchM/ext directory and not in the smartWatchM directory itself?

I could check it on Dash soon. I could probably add some error messages as well or send you some tool for test. (I will see...)

You can minimize the application selecting Minimize, pressing home or back key (SP) or pressing ok or the [x] button (PPC). So the default action for left soft key should be hiding the app actually. It prevents from closing the app by system as well.

I have watched some tutorial that shows how to prevent from running two or more instances of the same. This shouldnt happen normally, only under some courious cases. I have never seen this but I may add such checking.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
I know what you're saying... remember I develop applications for smartphones as well :) It was just nice to hit the hide and just hide the app (but not actually hide it from task managers). I know have to remember to hit the home key.. which is a change.

The file.. I put it in the ext folder, per your instructions, but nothing happens... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jfos:
File is working great for me. I'm editing it with PocketNotepad. When I press save button, after few seconds envelope and two lines are shown...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madbird:
hi

first of all i have to say 'TUMBS UP' for this cute piece of software. i used it now for two weeks and its really nice because my 'phone' is a htc advantage and i dont need to pull this giant out of my bag anymore just to see who is calling or be reminded to appointments and arrival of messages.

the issue with the drain of battery happens also to my mbw-150 (tested with advantage wm6 radio 1.50 and 1.38) but didnt mind me that much, because i have to recharge the advatage every day, so i charge a second device. downgrading to wm5 to stop the drain is no solution anyhow, but it shows that the problem is the bt-stack of the ameo not the programm.

the only 'bug' so far is that somtimes the connection to my bt headset is cutted off, in the middle of a call. i testet this with a jabra 3030 and a nokia bh-500. i pickup the call talk for a while and suddenly the headset signals a lost connection and i hear the caller at the speakers of the phone. i have switch the call back to the headset manualy with the phone's software, to get the call back to the headset. but this may also be a problem of the advantage bt-stack.

so overall a big thankyou again, there will be some bucks that make there way to your account. i cant wait for new versions and features, (and a better bt stack on the advantage ;)) madbird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paultnl:
I have the same problem, headset drops out about 90 seconds into the call :-( Everything else is great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JimSmith94:
The same thing happens with my Mogul/Titan/PPC-6800. When I first started using this app with WM 5 on the phone, the watch would lose its connection every minute or so. That was fine because it didn't interfere with my phone call on my headset. Ever since using WM 6 and 6.1 ROMs, the watch keeps its connection but the headset loses its, which is a much worse situation.

From everything I've read, it seems to be the newer Bluetooth stack in the newer versions of WM that causes the issue. I have learned to disable Bluetooth on the watch when a call comes in. Hopefully one day, a new Bluetooth stack will fix this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
I have just updated the latest release. Download the latest version again. I have made tiny little change that could possibly fix that (but I'm not sure, I dont have a headset).

If it wont help, I could add option to close connection during call to avoid disconection. Unfortunately a key press is always required to reconnect the watch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JimSmith94:
I hope the new version will fix it, although I'm in Poland for a while, and can't test it, because my Sprint phone doesn't work here anyway. Just in case it doesn't, could you add the option to close the connection during calls anyway? That would definitely cure the problem, and I would be more apt to leave Bluetooth running on my watch. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madbird:
hi

i will give it a try on a long workday tommorow. i give feedback what happens to disconections.

there could be a new menu named quick dial , wen we'll enter in the menu, (long press stop/play) speed dial list will come and could be scrolled thru volume keys. and the shown no. can be dialed (short press stop/play button). this speed dial list can be obtained from the htc fav. contact list or so.

Hey, I wonder did anybody try this one from LM Technologies yet?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lm-Technolo...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1215853162&sr=8-1

Apparantly its cheaper, and maybe less bulky too?

I wonder if its compatible with SE "serial profile" protocol, i think big chances it should be since its supporting SMS notifications that are not in the standard handsfree profile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
ful babu:

I'm taking a note.

Ingvarr:

According the comment on the Amazon product page it doesnt use the SE standards but it connects as headset/handsfree. I have the Bluetooth Vibrating Bracelet which should be very similar but it doesnt work with SMS neither.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ingvarr:
It defenitely displays SMS notifications (its in the manual), but for *some* (SE) handsets only.

Thats why I thought it must at least partially use SE protocol, as I know no other way to get SMS notifications thru in "standard" way - I dont recall anything about SMS in Handsfree/Headset BT profiles.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pkchainsaw:
works (sort of) with btwatch

I have this LM watch. I haven't been able to get it to work with smartwatch yet. However, it sort of works with btwatch. If you pair WITHOUT using the hands free profile, it will vibrate when a call comes in (No CID though!), and then you can answer with your phone or bt headset without problems.

It's OK, but it does drain the battery fast. I'm thinking of getting an abacas watch from expansis for about $140 and having more functionality.

I'm using an Athena 7501 with factory rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ingvarr:
Drain the battery on the PDA or on the watch itself?

And can you tell the dimensions of it? The Abacus/SE ones are awfully big (they look like ordinary watches but about 1.5 times the size).

Hello,

today MBW-150 Executive Edition is my Clock ;-))

Asus P750, WM 6 Phone

Here my first Impressions

+ Caller identification = Worked

- SMS notification = Worked, but NOT the "Caller Number" displayed, only "New SMS" and NO vibrate

- Appointment notif. = Worked (sometimes) but Message displayed 3-5 Min. later or never.

- Weather = NOT Worked, (My PDA is Asus P750, NO HTC) with SBSH PocketWeather 2

- Very often "Vibrate, but NO Display Text on Watch"

By the Way .... is it possible to start smartWatchM automatic (Autostart) minimize, resp. Backround ?

Is it possible to change the Text messages into a other language (German) ?

Despite MY problems, I donated you 16,66 $ ;)

I think an auto start feature would be great, instead of launching the program then clicking start.. I believe build 1.4.1 had this feature... but the newest ones don't

The Abacus bluetooth watch doesn't have any of the features beyond caller-id, new sms, missed call vibrate... all other features do not work... so if you are looking to buy I would get a mbw-150

I will correct the appointment notification soon.

Some autostart, running service-like will be added as well I hope. I still have things to do.

German... Maybe later.

Sms sender name is not supported yet. I have to learn some things before I can use things like that.

Thanks for your support.
