Feedback from a 1 day new user.

Hi moneytoo:

I am very pleased with your sofware - beyong my expectations! Yes msn msgs will be great, other languages do not matter to me. I don't mind about mms.

Let me tell you how smartWatchM behave on my Wm5 Ipaq6955 with Mbw-100 watch, just for your info, since you look for perfection! :)

Issues:

I have it installed on the sd card, and when I reboot with the autostart feature, it does not work (file not found, or not trusted kind of message). Next version, I will install on the main memory, maybe that's the issue).

If I click on the x to minimise, there is no way I can reopen it, so I have to make sure I use the minimise button you provided.

It happenned that I had 2 instances of smartWatchM running, witch made my machine very slow and forced me to reboot. Maybe a line of code that will prevent this would be welcome.

Wills:

An option that will let me choose 1 line instead of 2 for emails, text msgs, etc.

An option that will let me choose the lengh of time messages are shown on the watch.

Anyway, I am very pleased with the way it works now!

I installed the msn, icq, etc. software you suggested, it seems very good! and faster to log on than the real msn, so I am very pleased, thanks!

Cheers!

Mbw-150 and mbw-100 differencies

Could someone (maybe moneytoo!) write a list of functions that work or don't work on the older mbw-100 and Fossil Abacus?

These older devices are availables for very low prices but I wouldn't like to buy one expecting great results and getting almost nothing out of it.

And what about btwatch? I'll post this on his topic too as I consider it quite usefull for people like me to decide which one to buy.

Thanks for the great app anyway!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Checkout the wiki link he posted in the first post...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pcwizzul:
I wrote this post because in the wiki is reported only "limited functionality" and is not said what the limitation is. I think that a table with functions and availability for every watch would be great. moneytoo already made a table with functionalities for the watch with the sony phones and with windows mobile ones. I was suggesting to make a similar table with different watches and thei functions in windows mobile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
pcwizzul:

The best functionality is with MBW-150. Oldest models are MBW-100, Abacus Caller ID Watch, etc.

Disadvantages of the oldest ones:

- browsing through the watch menu is forward only (and not much fast) (MBW-150 has volume control that makes it much easier)

- all watch screens display less text, only 96x16 pixels (MBW-150 has support for 192x16 scrolling text)

(*BTwatch by pcfixitman has aditional scrolling for text because he makes his app optimized for MBW-100. I'm thinking about it as well but it's not a current priority.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sergelie:
Browsing on a Mbw-100 - How?

Could you explain how to browse the menu on a Mbw-100, I do not master the technique ye! Thanks in advance.

And maybe you would know also how to control the MediaPlayer. For now, I can't.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Demostrike:
Out of interest how much power does the bluetooth watch connction kick out of your phones?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sergelie:
Very little - Much less than the Wi-Fi connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Demostrike:
Thanks for the heads up Sergelie, I think I'll get one of these as my birthday present to me. ;)

More than three months of development, experimenting, debugging, UI designing... I have spent tens hours in the source code and even much more time actually using the application. There are less reports of fatal error and more happy users (I hope). IM was the last step. My dream is fulfilled... So let's get rid of the leading zeros and start with version 1. :D

(There is a update button in smartWatchM so the development still continues.)

Latest version: 1.0.0.0 (20080505)

- small fixes

- updated additional assemblies

- added IM notifications (Slick)

- added IM notifications (IM+)

History must be turned on in both programs to receive IM notifications. IM+ for Smartphones doesnt have history option so notifications can be used on Pocket PCs only. Slick is free and stable IM, so you can give it a try.

IM (0) is not implemented in the Messaging info screen because it's hard to determine whatever the message was read or not. IM notifications have no repetition. I will try some workaround...

- added automatized update

I dont know about you but I love reading news on the go, reply emails on the go... and update software on the go. :-)

- added detailed forecast (Spb Weather)

Thanks, ful babu.

- www.smartmadsoft.com/forum launched

I still prefer xda-developers anyway. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beginner:
Moneytoo, let's try, I am sure will be more happy experience.

do you have plans about GPS?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Yes, there will be GPS. It seems to work ok with internal GPS but there are some issues with BT GPS when you havn't got fix... As soon I solve this I will add the GPS support.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bob2k4:
Hi, forgive me as I am new, I have searched as well but can't seam to find a concreate answer. My problem is I am using the watch software with the HTC Polaris, fantastic software but my phone battery used to last 2 day on average use, now I get 14 hours with less use. Is this normal for a Bluetooth connection to use so much? Can anything be done? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
It really seems as too large battery draining. Have you ever had connected any other BT device to your Polaris?

Only advice I have is to turn off the Appointment notifications. Just give it a try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Slide:
I have the same problem with my XDA Orbit 2 aka Touch Cruise.

My Phone Battery is emty after 12-14 hours when i use smartwatchm.

I think the problem is the Bluetooth connection. I have all 3-4 minutes re-connect´s.

But I have still no solution:-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brium13:
Hi, it's the same for me too, I just buy the MBW-100 :eek:, I have a POLARIS, the battery takes barely a day since :( (12 hours MAX).

By against the software works very well for me, no disconnections:D.

Thank you very much :D.

PS:

Maybe the problem battery will be paid on the next version ?

Sorry for my English (Google translation inside)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ful babu:
my ppc stays abt 2 days with no mp3, and continious mp3 playback goes upto 8 hrs irrespective of bluetooh function. and the watch stays almost 6-7 days with regular operation ... seems ok to me, guess there is no prob with the soft / watch

Out of reach is not working

I'm a big fan of SmartWatchM as it is a great tool! I was hoping 'my problem' would be fixed with the latest version, but it still doesn't work. What I mean is the 'out of reach' buzzing that doesn't work with me. I own a HTC TyTn II

and a SE excecutive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] imdbui:
Mine works, I'm also using a SE Exec and a Tilt with Dutty's 6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
What do you mean by this?

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

I've made the IM compatibility for IM+ v5.1 which was released few days ago but they took it down and replaced by 4.58 again. Because of different history files (RTF instead of HTML in the new version), the IM+ notifications doesnt work.

What to do:

1) Wait for Shape Services to release 5.1 again

2) Use Slick

3) Wait for me to add 4.58 compatibility

4) Get the 5.1 trial (I have no idea whatever the 4.x will work or not, or the let you register this version...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sergelie:
Slick versus IM+

From my point of view, Slick is far better than IM+, and it is free.

MBW150 quick battery drain with Athena

Here an update to the yet unresolved problem of MBW150 battery drain with 6.0, 6.1 rom and the Athena.

Installed wm6.1 from Irus full, set up MBW150 + smartwatch, tested it ... maximum 13 h, no joy!

Determined to service my watch, I was stopped from doing it just from the possibility of seeing back the watch not earlier than 1 month from now (sony ericsson service point has to post the watch to Fossil with no guarantees and not even an idea on repairing time).

Actually I'm still convinced that the problem is ROM/RADIO/software dependent as someone who experienced 12hr drains with one rom experienced a week or more with other roms, most of them WM5.0 (if it were a problem of defective battery/watch I should be experiencing much less than 12hr drain).

Anyone with Athena and a 6.0/6.1 windows mobile rom who is experiencing watch lasting a week or longer who could point me to his installed radio/ROM versions so that I could install them? I would be very grateful!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brium13:
I speak too fast, it now has not stopped disconnect :( , strange :( .

Athena with AP4 rom and 1.57 radio : 6 days watch battery life (MBW-100)

rom before (wm6.1): 8 hours
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ful babu:
hi moneytoo,

hav u figured out abt the RW(previous track) button yet ?

thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wgary:
Have an Athena, which is being serviced, and using a Cingular 3125 in the meantime. Both work well with SWM, but the battery with Athena was barely a 12-hour day and I was wondering whether to send it back. But with the 3125 the battery hardly moves during the day, I can easily go several days without charging. Conclusion: It is definitely the ROM/Radio/etc. NOT THE WATCH!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beginner:
Athena and SWM

I have now AP 4 with MWB 150.

After move into this rom plus radio 1.57, the watch maintain the battery for days, It is perfect now.

Same here, :) the rom BT stack makes a huge difference
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karmarock:
MBW150 quick battery drain with Athena

Thank you all! Now I can see the light!

AP4 is the solution, the only fact that stops me from flashing AP4 is that it is a one way process: no way to go back to standard roms before downgrade process will be released. Up to the moment there will be other options I think i'll stuck with recharging every 12hr, but at least you gave me hope!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jactrum:
No sign while out of reach
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
This is a function of all BT watch. You probably turned it off. It's the third icon ("Watch---Phone") in the graphic menu on the watch. The watch vibrates when the connection with a phone is lost. I hope this is what you're looking for.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jactrum:
You were right, it was my clumsiness! (Not your words lol) It's working indeed Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaki67:
I have installed the latest version and I have to say that the IM feature is just like the appointment reminder feature ,sometimes it works but usually doesn't.I have tried both Slick and IM+ with similar results.

Other wise I have no problems ,all other alerts working fine and I charge the watch once a week just in case.I have a kaiser with original www rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alex0815:
Same here, Polaris lasts 2-3 Days without watch, less than a workday with watch. Had to stop using the watch, because of the terrible battery-life.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Moneytoo... Do you think it you can add a feature where it will read current weather information from a predefined section in the registry ? It can even be a couple of keys and values in your app's section of the registry I wouldnt mind. But I would like to update those settings with another application (one I developed) and have that info show up on the watch. Is that possible ? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
No problem. Just send me the details via pm or mail (just briefly what you want me to read and what to display on the watch). ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pcwizzul:
iI'm waiting for my mbw150 to arrive and I was wondering if there is or there could be the way to read data from the gps or from a gps related app to show speed distance and similar on the watch.

Sms Repeat

I have been using smartWatchM for about a week now and it's great..... the only issue I'm having is the repeat only works if my pda (kaiser) is not in standby (with display on). If my PDA is off it doesn't notify me. Is this just me or are others experiencing this? also I quite often get disconnects even if my pda and watch are right next to each other!!!

Moneytoo, number of items on menu

Hi Moneytoo, I have been trying to have more than 15 items on the menu but looks no possible, after change on settings the number of items to be available, could you confirm please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
wgary: Ok, next release will include support for SBSH PocketWeather.

BazRat: I've checked it and it's really caused by the WM standby. I will try to fix this. I wonder why nobody reported this before (this is PPC problem only, no issue on Smartphone).

beginner: 15 menu items is the current limit. I will try to extend this soon (make some loop).

Hi Moneytoo,

This is probably related to the PockePC standby issue which hasnt been resolved yet. (It affects this, repeated notifications and appointment notifications)

Try setting shorter notification interval (0.5 or 1 minute) and larger display timeout (1 or 2 minutes) until this will be fixed.

One of the things I like the most is the display on the watch, is there a possibility to leave the display permanently on during daytime. I don't care if I must charge the watch daily.

Do you have knowhow of Symbian 3rd Programming ?

A lot of Nokia (N90, N95, N96) User would use the MBW-150 AND the Nokia Devices .... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
I have done some fixes and the repeat should now work on Pocket PCs. (Download the latest version 1.0.1.1)

Pernod99:

I dont. :-) Maybe someone sometime... But it should be possible to make similar application for Symbian. Same with Blackberry (I guess).

I was thinking of some technical demo in Java but this has no practical use because you cannot intercept SMS or anything like that...

My collegue done some basic app for Palm but he hasnt released it yet... I have to talk to him. :)

Loudspeaker and mute mic not working

hi moneytoo,

Thanks for an amazing app i just got my mbw 150 and im amazed by the extended features the watch now has running through your program.

Im using a htc touch witn wm6 professional and for some reason i cant toggle the microphone or loudspeaker.

Durning a call when i press and hold the rw and fw buttons the keypad/call status windows are shown but

when i press and hold the middle left button to toggle loudspeaker the screen lights up but nothing happens

and when i press and hold the top right but to mute nothing happens at all the watch jus displays the phone date/time

do you know what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Slide:

It's a bit complicated but possible. I will think of that.

This is a bit smartphone specific workaround for mute/unmute. I will look if there is any other solution for this.

This works fine on Kaiser. Can you use the green call key during a call (press & hold) to toggle the loudspeaker?

mute and loudspeaker

hi thanks for the reply

yes i can use the green call key on the phone to toggle the loudspeaker but pressing and holding the left middle doesnt produce any result except lighting up the screen and if i go to the smart watch menu while in a call and hold down that button it says:

"Time sent

Play/pause button pressed"

And thanks for looking into the mute.

also is it possible for you to add the function of controlling the htc audio manager with the watch not just wmp?

ending/answering a call with the watch would also be a good feature

Thanks in advance
