Stopwatch function is already there.

Worldclock - nice idea. Maybe with a small map of world :-) I will add this to my list.

Autostart doesnt start the sWM application but means this: set this option on to avoid clicking Start button. If you want to start sWM after restart, just put a shortcut to StartUp folder.

It doesnt correct appointment notification but only some screen (No upcoming appointment - no date/time) - dont display date when there is no upcoming appointment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pernod99:
My opinion ... first correct the existing Bugs before you add new features ;)

OK, my mistake.

But a "Hide" / Background Feature would be nice :rolleyes:

OK, but you work at "upcoming appointment notification" Bug ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Pernod99:

Hide feature (as well as sms sender, subject and sender of e-mail), it's possible but it requires better knowledge so I have to learn few more things before I can use these things.

The appointment notification - I have set all correctly fot that (I guess) but it just doesnt work right. Yesterday I've searched on google and it seems more users have the same problem. Probably it's a bug in WM / .NET CF.

SystemState CalendarAppointment Events Seem Very Broken

The reconnection feature is just under testing.

What else...? Any other bug?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pernod99:
I speak about .... automatic Start smartWatchM "Start" and hide (not End) the Programm.

ohhhhh, this makes me very sad :(

Very good :)

Not Bugs ..... Betterments :D

- SMS sender with Name and maybe the Subject.

- Weather Forecast with SBSH PocketWeather 2

- Date in European Format (DD.MM.JJJJ) instead US Format (JJJJ-MM-DD)

- Problems with (German) letters (Ä,Ö,Ü,ß ...)

- ......... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
It requires skills and knowledge I dont have yet.

Same as previous.

Can't be changed.

I've already implemented some feature removing accented characters like "á, é, í...". Ok, i will try the German letters.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schaggo:
I wasnt out yesterday so I had no chance by now to extensively test the new stuff. I will do that today. But I repeat, it's coming along nicely.

When I read about the world clock proposition, I thought thats a cool idea. Then I read your comment "...a small map..." and I thought, God, make that guy stop thinking about ridiculous stuff and give him some sleep :P Great work dude, I'll come to Prague this spring and I guess I'll take my girlfriend with me LOL :D

@pernod99

As for the Bluetooth stack, some screenshots of the default Microsoft Bluetooth stack, if yours looks different, you're on another one I guess. That could be the root of all problems you suffer.

GPS

The app works like a charm on my Palm Treo 750,

Another nice feature would be if it could display speed and bearing from the pda's GPS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pernod99:
After a trick (pairing with a other BT Clock (Made in Taiwan)) I have the same Screens.

MBW-150 (Com7)

Incoming COM6
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pernod99:
Yes GPS Position would be nice :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moskus:
Yes, when I do it manually it works like it should. :)

I'll try to describe what happens:

1) Email is sent to me

2) The watch only vibrates

3) The phone plays the "new message" sound and marks one email as unread in the TouchFlo-interface (and Pocket Outlook)

4) Time passes, 4-5 minutes

5. The watch vibrates and show "new message

(Pocket Outlook is normally not running in the background if that matters)

And another thing: The watch does not scroll text. I don't know if it's even possible, but I'm just checking. My wifes name is Kristine AndSoOn, but only "Mail:Kristin" is shown in the display (after "new msg" flashed).

And yet another thing (sorry for being a pain in the @$$): If I accidently move out of range from the phone and try to connect (using the "Connect/scissor" icon on the watch), sometimes the watch only connects using the handset profile (or something like that). I have to delete the bluetooth device and repair in order to get it to work again.

EDIT: Just to let you know: This works so much better than btWatch! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fadytabar:
I guess it's a bug on 1.2.0.0

Hi Moneytoo,

After i upgraded my smartwatch software to 1.2.0.0, i noticed the following problem:

- When i receive a call, the display name or the number are shown with no problem, but after i answer the call from my phone sometimes the caller name/number remains displayed on the watch (forever i guess) till i press the upper right button and scroll thru the 3 menus (date, time, last message) till I reach the blank on the screen.

Even if i press the mute button (upper right one time), the mute logo remains also on the watch screen till i remove it manually in the same way.

Please note that I used the previews software version for about 2 weeks and nothing like this happened during all that time.

Please advice,

Thank you

Regards.

Fady.

Edit: right after i sent this post, i received a call and this problem didn't occur, so i guess this problem is not happening each time i receive a call but it is happening frequently.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
fadytabar:

Hopefully it is fixed in beta: http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/

Moskus:

scrolling: Maybe in the future.

emails: This is weird... How about classic POP or IMAP accounts without Push?

handset profile: Pair the watch with your device using smartWatchM. The handset profile should be disabled however you can open the BT manager, check available services and disable the handset profile if available.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moskus:
I don't use POP/IMAP anymore, but I'll see if I can find a way to check this.

It also works without problem if I mark an email as unread in Outlook 2007 and then forces the phone to syncronize. smartWatch "finds" the unread email and sends the "new msg" routine to the watch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JimSmith94:
My MBW-150 does show the date on the first push and the time on the second push.

Moneytoo, since you were able to modify the time to 12 hour mode, is there a chance of providing the option to show the date in US mode, i.e. 11-12-2008 or 11/12/2008 instead of 2008-11-12? Even better would be if the watch followed the country specific mode that the phone uses, MMM dd, yyyy, etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
I always wanted to try the Push mail. So now's probably the right time for that. :) Do you use any free service (you could recommend me to try), Push in Exchange or something else?

What device do you use with your watch? Touch Pro or Advantage?

Moskus was talking about different watches - LM958. People should note what watch are they referring to since smartWatchM is multi-watch. :)

I'm not able to modify the display format of the date/time. I only send different time when the button is pressed - for example 10:20 instead of 22:20... So this is just a warkaround and it will mess up your date/time when you will be using your watch not connected.

In the date, I can only switch day and month... Is it really worth of?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fadytabar:
I am using push mail

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, i will download and try the new beta after 1.2.0.0.

I read bellow that you want to try the push mail with an exchange server, i just wanted to let you know that i am using push mail with exchange and it is working perfectly with the watch.

The notification in the watch is even faster then the phone.(i am even receiving the mail notification on my watch before about 3 seconds then the phone).

My device is HTC diamond with the latest rom (1.93.456.2 WWE/Radio version: 1.00.25.05)

MBW 150 watch, version 1.2.0.0 smartwatch.

Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightcookie:
Moneytoo,

have a look at Mail2Web.

They offer a free basic Exchange service that will easily sync OTA with your WM device. Upgradable for extra features, too. I use the basic Exchange service and it works nicely. Will retrieve your Email from any account, but it's better to forward it there.

Tit for tat: I have a little issue with sWM:

Whenever I get any notification on the watch (messages, reminders...), the watch will vibrate and show the notification. Then, a bit later, it will just vibrate 3 times again, even if I've dismissed the notification before.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

N.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moskus:
I use the Touch Pro with smartWatch. :)

I was about to suggest the Mail2Web service, but Nightcookie beat me to it. A simpler (and a little different) solution can be found at Emoze, but I'd recommend mail2web.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chongbh:
Just to check whether I have to connect the Smart Watch program with my Bluetooth watch manually every time I reboot the phone?

Or will the program connect by itself?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
chongbh:

Usually you have to press a button on the watch only if the watch wasn't connected to the phone for a long time. If you just reboot your device (max 2 minutes) the watch will try to reconnect automatically (this is for SE MBW). (You only have to set up smartWatchM to start up and connect automatically)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chongbh:
Thanks for the reply but X1 seem to have the bluetooth problem as it will disable after some time after reboot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moskus:
Moneytoo... just curious about this.

After I've connected the watch to smartWatch, this is the log from the top:

Caller id set ...
SMS set ...
SMS set ...
Echo set ...
Connected
Waiting for connection. Start a connection on the watch.

Why do I see SMS twice and nothing about email? This happens every time I connect the watch to the phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] navahoo:
is there any chance to control the tf3d music player of my htc touch hd with the mbw150 instead of the wm player? thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
chongbh:

My friend use his watch with Xperia and he didn't mentioned any problems...

Moskus:

This is just a few of labels, instead of the not much saying commands. One SMS label is for some sort of support request, the other for some setting... No emails because the watch does not support emails by default (so it's made via the SMS commands).

navahoo:

You can disable the WMPlayer in registry and use the media control since it's just key presses simulation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdx:

How do we do that? is that a setting in the software or in the general registry of the phone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] navahoo:
interesting answer! after the deactivation of wmplayer, the watch got no other opportunity than to control the tf3d player?

i´m pretty curious to try this but i got no clou where to deactivate that...!?!

on the other hand, why is the bt hs hbh-ds980 able to address the tf3d player?!

thanks again and btw thank you so much for keep me using my loved watch!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightcookie:
Moneytoo,

great work, as ever! :)

Here's another suggestion, building upon the auto-lock feature. Let's say someone nicks your phone, or it accidentally drops out of your pocket, or you leave it behind somewhere. How about an option that, when out of range,

- sets system volume to max and

- triggers some alarm sound.

For obvious reasons, this should require some sort of action by the user on the device to mute the alarm, and not stop automatically when back in range.

That would make it easy to retrieve your phone, and if combined with the device lock function, will make it hard for the thief to sneak away with your phone. :)

Don't know if that can be done, but I think it might be quite useful.

Keep up the great work!

N.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Punga:
Hi moneytoo!

I'm using your great application with my MBW-150 and an HTC Touch Pro - works fantastic (already donated). Actually your application was the reason to buy a MBW-150 :)

Just one issue with SMS/eMail-notification: Sometimes if a SMS/eMail arrived, SmartWatchM continues alerting even if the SMS/eMail was already deleted from the device... Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks

Punga
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cell_crazy:
Yes I am experiencing the same problem with HTC Diamond - where the message has been deleted but the notifcations on the watch continue.

Don't know if this has been asked in the past, but is possible, after reading a message on the watch to press a button and stop notifcation?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdx:
Another thing I noticed: I'm using the latest version with a brand new HTC Touch HD, and for some reason, even though the software installs fine, after a while (or a reboot), it stops working. It loads, but fails to appear when i click on it, and the watch doesn't connect anymore.

Any solutions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
I can possibly launch predefined application/script of yours that would handle such action but I dont want to be responsible for your screaming phones. :)

Thank you, Punga. :)

This is a bug. If you delete or read your email during the "Full length message" text output on the watch, the email isn't set as unread so smartWatchM keeps alerting...

You can:

1. Wait for me to fix it

or 2. Disable Full length notifications

or 3. Disable repetitive notifications

or 4. Stop the text before deleting/reading a mail

SmartWatchM cannot be launch by clicking on the icon in start menu if it's in "hidden mode". You can switch to smartWatchM only by pressing&holding the top left button on the watch (if connected) or clicking the tray icon (tray bar isn't visible when TouchFlo3D is enabled).

Eventually you can reset smartWatchM settings by deleting a registry key (hklm\software\smartmadsoft\smartwatchm).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cell_crazy:
Thanks Moneytoo,

Is it possible to press a button on the watch to stop notification. Most of the times you read the message on the watch and don't need to take out your phone to read and stop notification.

Would this be possible, or is it already a feature and i just don't know how
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
The notification repeat should be stop when you use the watch menu and display "e-mail/sms info" (3rd screen by default). Or just disable the repetition.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdx:
Thanks for the tip, it solved the problem. Now the only thing I need is the way to disable WMP so that TouchFlo3D can be the default music player to control.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peppep:
Thank you so much for developing this. I am waiting for my Touch HD now, and I have wanted a bluetooth watch for some time. I was very happy when I found out about this app, going to order MBW-150 Executive now as well. Thank you, I have made a small donation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightcookie:
Thanks, Moneytoo!

I was thinking of an option for situations where risk of losing / someone pinching the phone is high and the risk of accidental out of range is low - train, pub, christmas shopping and the like! :)

Hmm - I know nothing about scripting. All I can think of is launch a predefined sound file, but that would still leave the volume where it is.

Any chance of anyone jumping in on this?

Best,

N.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Besk:
Waiting for...

Howdy,

I have been reading ALL pages and I can not find any solution!

Today it just stop working

My spec:

HTC Touch Diamond P3700

LM958

Waiting for connection. Start a connection on the watch.

Press upper right button...LM958 connected -> P3700

But still say on the smartWatchM Waiting for connection...

Under Meny/Settings they are all greyed!

I am on COM6

If turning OFF BT the Meny/Settings/Incoming Port=greyed!

B.E.S.K.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Besk:

Make sure you have selected LM958 in Settings-Device menu because you should see or use the COM ports at all (it should be grayed out all the time because it's just for SE MBW watch).

LM958 does not use top right button to connect but the third menu item, so make sure the bluetooth on the watch is turned on (1st item) and then select the third item.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Besk:
Still connected?

OK

- uninstalled all BT-units under WM6

- uninstalled smartWatchM

- Reset the phone

... and guess what?

I still have connection to the LM958

but there are NO units in the list?

There seems to be some cache doing it, or what?

Maybe the HomeScreen Plus does the conflict.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moskus:
I see something like it, but not the exact same thing:

My watch automaticly pairs with the watch, and it happens if smartWatch is not running, or the connection was lost. Then I have to remove the device from the list (in the bluetooth-list) and re-pair using the smartWatch application.

EDIT: I use the LM958 watch and a HTC Touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbellis:
moneytoo, I installed the latest version last night and I am getting the error message shown in this screenshot, I'm using a Sprint HTC Touch Pro with an MBW-150 Classic, all your previous versions worked fine, is this a bug with the new version or something on my device??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Please download the latest version from the same source once again. I have previously included old version of one library but I have fixed it few hours after the release.

I have experienced similar issue today. The problem is that the watch connects using headset profile even it's disabled in BT manager... Deleting the devicew and repairing helped, but... I will have to wear the watch for a few days.

Besk: If you uninstall smartWatchM, only the settings is still stored on the device so you may try to delete it (registry key hklm\software\smartmadsoft\smartwatchm). In the past I had some problems with the SE watch too, nothing worked, watch restart was the only way. I dont know if there is such thing on the LM968, I didnt read the manual. (Or you can try pairing it with other cell phone)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdx:
I still havent figured out how to make TouchFlo 3D the default music player and control it with my watch. Can anyone help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Northernmost:
I think music control (once WMP control has been disabled in the registry) simply sends key presses to whatever is the active app. So, to control the TF3D player, it would need to be active (as in you're looking at it on the screen) and respond to the default keys i.e. Left for previous, Right for next, Enter for play / pause, Up for volume up and down for volume down.

I'd really like to see a way to control whichever media player takes your fancy without it having to be active. Something like using PostMessage to send key presses to a use definable window title. Or, for ultimate freedom, being able to use your own shortcuts / scripts to override the watch button press events.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdx:
I have tried that method and it doesnt work, when I pres play it just opens up the default Windows Media Player. So that's why I'm looking for a way to default to TF3D.

Ideally the only thing to do would be to press "play" on the watch, have that open the TF3D music player, press "play" once more to launch the selected track, and then of course "FF", RW" and volume all controlled by the watch.

Do you think there is a way to do that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Northernmost:
You can disable WMP starting by editing the registry. Head to HKLM\software\smartmadsoft\smartwatchm and change the WMPlayer value to 0. After that... WMP won't be loaded :) You mayh need to restart smartwatchm for the change to take effect though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
There's a new version at http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/

I have improved the WMP control. WMP must be running before enabling the WMP control mode. The control runs completely on the background, no more switching to foreground. Works even when the keypad is locked.

(The registry key WMPlayer is ignored since this solution works with WMP only)

tdx:

Does this work for you or you still need the TF3D player support?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdx:
Thanks for that, I actually got it working. But I have another question: in order to start the media player controls, I have to press the volume button about 6 times before it goes to Windows Media mode. Is there a way around this? it's very cumbersome to have to do that everytime you want to control the music player.

Isnt there a way to, say, just press the stop or FF button once and have the music player mode start?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
tdx:

You can go to Menu -> Settings -> Other -> Customize Menu to reorder the menu and set up the Windows Media control even as the first item.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Besk:
Working...

Howdy,

Well, well!

So I have managed to sort this out!

Direct after that I Minimaze the PlugIN to SysTray

it all working!

- But I still going to by a SE BT watch...

and Xperia...

B.E.S.K.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdx:
Ok thanks for all these tips. One last thing: there is a strange behavior when controlling the TF3D music tab, where the FF/RW buttons actually navigate through the various tabs of TF3D (pictures, weather etc) instead of through the music tracks. Plus, the volume up/down actually changes tracks.

Any ideas on that one? If that could be fixed then everything would be working perfectly.

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Northernmost:
That just TF3D responding to the key strokes issued by smartWatchM. Most media players use left and right to switch tracks and up and down to do the volume but TF3D handles them differently.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bread Pitta:
sound output problem in standby

i have a strange issue with my x1, mbw-150 and smartwatchm v1.2.0.2 (beta). the sound output disappears in standby mode (display off) with wmp running (foreground or background doesn't matter) by pressing play on my watch. there is some sound for about a second but after that there is no more sound output ond my phone. no music, no ringtone, no sound at all. i can disable and enable sound but nothing changes. even no sound when i plug in my earphones. the only working sound is the voice on the earspeaker when i receive/make a call.

the problem doesn't seem to appear if i have connected my bluetooth stereo headset and start/stop the music with my watch or on the headset itself (okay, my watch gets disconnected when i poweroff the headset but i can live with that). so i've tested what's happening when i connect my bt stereo headset after losing the sound. i can hear the music but it is disturbed by gaps about every second.

anybody else having this problem? how can i reactivate the sound output without a softreset?

i don't know if smartwatchm is causing the problem but if you need more information to find out just tell me what you need to know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Bread Pitta:

I have just tested this case (X1, MBW-150 and the latest beta, without earphones) but the behaviour is standard - if you press the standby button, WMP stops playing. The sound still works when the device is powered on. SmartWatchM doesnt not control sound at all (only plays connected/disconnected sound if selected) so there's no reason...

Headset: I'm aware there are some problems with BT headset but I dont know what's the cause (BT stack maybe) but I cannot do much about it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdx:
Is there any kind of key mapping I can perform, either in TF3D (via registry) or in SmartwatchM to solve this? If i could make this work then everything would be perfect for me.
