Omgosh I think I love you lol, everything is working great now! Another $35 donated!

I was wonder if you have any plans to add support for pocket music media player?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sajib:
Hi Moneytoo just wondering if you have any plan to support the song track information displaying from Pocket Player?? and got any clue on Backward button?

windows media player sucks!!!

and men i must say you are a genius, its your program that forced me to spend A$300 on a watch.

Cheers and thanks a heaps.

Hello,

This morning at long last and all of sudden, out of nothing, the watch and the device recognized each other. I hope it will last. Smartwatch is fantastic application. You are great. Thanks a lot for everything and have a nice week end.

The SBSH PocketWeather compatibility should be fixed in the beta.

ookiller

Thank you very much. :D

PocketMusic? Do you mean the player control? (HBH-DS980 can control only AVRCP compatible players) Or do you mean the artist/title display? (No API/SDK = impossible or some time to find a workaround)

sajib

Pocket Player - ok, I will try.

Backward button - Still no luck.

escully@vtx.ch

Great. ;)

i have a trouble , i don't know what wrong with my MBW-150~

yesterday everything was fine~

my watch cannot pair to the smartwatchm now,there is nothing in BT manger,

when i click pair to device,it says cannot pair please remove the watch in bt manger something like that , and yes my watch is on the pair mode

if i direct click start ,it says wait for click a button on watch~

and i do that, my watch display a connect icon for just 1,2 second,

then it change to the icon means the watch is out of range~

sorry for my pool english~please help me~~~~

if i wait for the watch waste all its battery ,will it clean up the pair info or any other way to reset the watch~?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thklinge:
Try restarting the phone. If that doesn't work, hold the lower right button on the watch. It will show a BT-icon with a cross on the lower right (Bluetooth disabled). Then hold the same button again to reactivate BT. That has worked for me two times when I had problems syncing it with the phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lucifer6e:
had try this way before~but not working~THX anyway~
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
sajib

Pocket Player track info is in the beta. (I guess I should split the track info to 2 lines..)

ookiller

I have no idea. (I dont use my phone as a music player)

lucifer6e

Restarting WM and turning watch BT on/off usually helps.

If not, try master reseting the watch and pairing again.

Hi Moneytoo,

Unfortunately the current beta behaves even worse :) Currently not even the name of the city is shown.

Does SBSH Pocketweather has to be enabled as today screen plugin?

Cheers

Punga
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
No, it does not have to be enabled.

Are you using the latest version? (v2.1.2 Build 3967)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Punga:
Hi moneytoo,

Yes, I do. I also deselect and reselect SBSH PocketWeather and did a reboot - without success :(

Cheers

Punga
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:

Could you try reinstalling PocketWeaher? Delete HKCU\Software\SBSH\PocketWeather and try the feather feature with the default cities (London etc).

If it still doesn't work, could you export HKCU\Software\SBSH\PocketWeather (As .reg, using DotFred's TaskManager or Resco Registry)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sajib:
Thanks a heaps, let me try it today on the way to work, will let you know the outcome this evening.

thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Okay, FIANLLY got my MBW150 Music, after it got to wait at the customs for nearly 2 weeks because of stupid seller...

I seem to have a similar problem to escully (must be the country ;) )

I put the watch in pairing mode, select discoverand pair on the phone. After a few seconds, the watch vibrates and shows the "paired" sign. At this point though, the program still appears to be looking for the watch (WM's "busy" sign still there). After a few more seconds, the watch shows the "disconnected" icon. The program is still busy at this point. Only a bit later will it say "Pairing successful".

Then, I click "Start" in the program. I get "Press button on watch"... but whatever I do on the watch it stays so forever and never goes any further.

EDIT: The watch does communicate with the phone, as if I turn off BT on the phone the watch will say it's disconnected, and it will reconnect when I turn BT on again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sajib:
Hi Moneytoo.

The new beta does work with Pocket music to show the track information, but unfortunately it only shows this information if you press the next button on the watch to change the track. that means the watch doesn't shows any track information if you change the track manualy in the pocket music or as track change automatically after one song.

I have used Wndows media player, and i can confirm WM shows track information always as track change regarless of how i change it.which is cool.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Okay, got it to work using the COM port method. It took some registry hacking as WM6.1 doesn't have a way to set an incoming port anymore, but at least it works now :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
kilrah

Try master reset the watch. See if btWatch works for you. If not, something (software or device) may block the connection.

No manual registry hacks should be needed since smartWatchM can set it all automatically.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
I tried master resetting several times, doing the things in different orders, no luck. No luck with btWatch either, it hangs on connecting requiring a soft reset.

I happen to still have a Hermes around, so I dug for it to have a try - it worked perfectly at the first time.

So it seems sWM doesn't like my Kaiser 6.1 ROM in direct connection. This is why I tried doing it the COM port way. But WM6.1 with MS BT stack doesn't have the option to create an incoming port anymore, so I had to do it manually in the registry. And it works fine that way.

I don't know how direct connection is done - but something doesn't work with my combo. I've never had any BT problem before BTW.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RJ45:
I hate to bother anyone but I figure since theres a lot more owners of the watches here, I would ask.

What would you reccomend and why? I really like the look of the MBW-100 but the MBW-150 has a much better featureset where I can read e-mails/texts and view track information when listening to music right?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tomzibad:
ya you can read your email,msn,sms,tracklist, I could really recommend MBW 150 and the executive is REAL good looking

Dear moneytoo,

I tried to design the Å-å but with no success...the program that I used was rather too complicated for me :confused:

I thought that maybe drawing a bigger ring or a big half-ring attached to the upper part of a, might give the result of a circle in the 5 pixel font, since the one now gives only two dots side by side, but my effort was unsuccessful :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thklinge:
I have no problem with the "å" in the beta version. It looks like it should even though it's just an "a" with two pixels above it.

Abacus Weather and .....

I just got my Abacus watch today, It seems like only the notification works, Does the weather or stopwatch work. What does work ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Some might remember me talking about adding GPS display to sWM.

Well, I got my watch 2 days ago, and played a bit with it... and by chance just found a nice little WM development environment on the same evening that looked very light and easy to use. That's a very good thing, as I was very reluctant to using the obviously expensive and very heavy visual studio to just try developing a couple of little things for WM...

So that made a perfect excuse to try it out and work on that GPS thing with Basic4PPC, which is pretty much just a "light" VB, than can also be edited on the PPC itself.

The result after only about 5 hours of development (now that's how I like IDEs, quick start ;) ) is GPS2Watch... v0.1 for now

It simply uses sWM "3rd party notifications", and connects to WM5+'s intermediate GPS driver, so no messing with COM ports. It should work with any device/GPS combination, if the GPS is external it must be set in WM's "External GPS" settings. Simply run the program, click "Start GPS", and the watch should start displaying GPS info, refreshed every 4 seconds (this seems to be the best choice to have a nearly continuous display, seeing how sWM polls the text file). This results in only short blinks from the watch between screen updates.

I had put an interval setting to look for the best update rate, and decided to leave it in case one would prefer for example to have the watch display just once every 30 secs or so. In that case, you might want to tick the Vibrate box so you don't miss the updates :)

The watch will display "GPS Position Invalid" when used sats < 3 or PDOP > 10. I chose those pretty much arbitrarily becuase my Kaiser's GPS tends to be too optimistic, and regularly displays PDOPs in the "very good" range even a couple of seconds after it has lost sats. That should be just fine.

In normal display, the display shows Speed, alt, heading and a user settable bearing, only in the metric system for now.

So, features:

- GPS speed, alt, heading display (metric)

- User settable bearing, for reference (seems there's some trouble with the "touch-slider" I did that doesn't always respond... gonna check that)

- User-definable update rate, min 4sec due to sWM interfacing limitations

- Watch vibration on/off

- Uses WM5+ GPS driver, so make sure "External GPS" settings are correct (DON'T touch if you use an internal GPS)

- Requires sWM, obviously, which MUST be installed on internal memory and running.

And remember it's my first WM program, and "work in progress" ;)

moneytoo:

- Suggestion: Implement a notification system that goes the other way (create a text file with the buttons that were pressed on the watch). For example, when a notification file is read, create one file with the last pressed button. That way there's no need to activate/deactivate file creation manually.

I'll gladly take your offer for a "quickstart" regarding communication with the watch with the AT commands - I'd find it interesting to tackle ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] navahoo:
just swapped from 1205 beta to final and lost skip function in s2p control!

signal is given, but there is just a little break and the same title continues???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
lilhacker

Yes, only notifications work on the Abacus watch because of no functional buttons that could access the menu. So no stopwatch, weather, player control...

kilrah

Good work, kilrah. ;)

Finally someone uses the 3rd party notification feature.

- I've added the link to the first post. Why not to create new separate thread since it's not that small application.

- I will think of your suggestion (key presses)...

- I will lower the 4 seconds delay to make it usable for more real time use.

- I will try to add new 3rd party notification display feature (2 lines of text, no arrow, now flicking but no automatical scrolling).

navahoo

Skip to next track = Navigation key - right press. By default, S2P jumps 5-10 seconds instead of next track. You can change the settings (I have no idea if it's possible or not). I could try send NextTrack key directly but I'm not sure if S2P supports it. I'll try that...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] navahoo:
by long pressing "skip forward" (left/up) worked perfect with 1205beta before, it jumped to the next track!

now i´m totally confused!

i ´ve uninstalled 1205 final and got back to previous beta, but nothing changed, still jumping but no skipping...

but i really don´t get it, because it already worked so good - do you have any explanation?!

badly hoping for your help...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Hehe ;)

- Thanks... I did myself consider it as a small app... and as it was dependent on sWM I thought that was a good place. I'll make a dedicated thread if I change to stand-alone... but then your notification function would be orphan again ;)

- Yes, if less than 4 seconds (maybe 1/2? I don't know how fast the watch itself can take it) so that there's no "flicker", no arrow (is that possible? As every sWM data was showing it I figured the watch was adding it itself!), and buttons could be implemented, that would allow people to do pretty much everything through sWM, removing the need to go to the low level for the more complete control. Now it's a bit limiting. Maybe access to larger font too (1 line only), and redraw as fast as possible after button press to "hide" the volume slider.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
kilrah

Small update... http://www.smartmadsoft.com/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=1&topic=15

navahoo

You have probably updated S2P. Version 0.40 skip to next track (on navigation right press) while the new version 0.58 jumps 5 or 10 seconds forward.

I will let you know if I will find a way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] navahoo:
that´s it!

so simple but i´ve never thought about that...

swapped back to s2p .40 and it´s working again. :)

i don´t understand it, but actually i don´t care about any version number, as long as it works now! ;)

thanks mate!!

edit: just tried s2p 0.50 and 0.55 and they do next track!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Inc:
On a mere coincidense I stumbled over your GREAT piece of software :) My MBW-150 has been hidden away in a drawer for a year, since I found out that it would only work with Sony phones; you have awakened my watch :) - thanks!

I would love one feature : The ability to see last (latest) SMS on demand - or even scrolling through the "old" SMS'es.

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bremair:

I don't know...

wiaza100

That's one reason why I dont like TouchFlo 3D - blocking access to tray. You could try "Second Today" but I don't have any experience with that.

Inc

Since this feature is useful, smartWatchM already includes it. The third menu screen displays latest sms or email (received when sWM is running). The stop button shows short preview or info and the play button displays the whole message.

bremair

The connection (with SE MBW) is as stable as possible. No updates on that. ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Punga:
Hi Moneytoo,

sorry for my mercuriality - I will jump back to SPB Weather. SPB released version 2.0 and it's looking very promising (http://beta.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/weather/). Maybe you could implement support for this new version? Currently display looks like:

SMS reply

There is a lot of things you can do yourselfs to extend the watch capabilities, one of them is an example of SMS reply, feature that sends a pre-defined text message to the last caller.

Imagine you can's answer the phone. Or even take your phone out of pocket/bag. You can use smartWatchM (to set up UserFile, one of five slots) and to launch the script directly from your watch.

It's really that simple:

LastCaller = RegRead( "HKLM", "System\State\Phone", "Last Incoming Caller Number" )
Parameter = LastCaller & " " & "Sorry, I can't answer your call right now. I will call you later."
Run( "\Program Files\vijay555\VJSMSSender.exe", Parameter )

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
For the record, a little problem with the current beta:

When I minimize it, the program disappears from everywhere, no task manager shows it anymore. When I run the program a 2nd time it doesn't do anything, while in the current stable version it would just bring the minimized window to front. The program is still running though, as the watch is usable. It's just not possible to reach it again to change settings or such after minimizing it without a soft reset or reinstalling the cab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Punga

I will check that soon.

kilrah

Minimize - just simple minimizing, you can return to smartWatchM without any problem

Hide - smartWatchM isn't visible in task manager and cannot be launched via shortcut. You can still return to smartWatchM by tapping on the tray icon or long pressing FF on the watch. (Reason? Avoid closing smartWatchM by the system when the memory is low.)

I'm writing a FAQ so I will cover it. :-)

Besk

Good for you. :-D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Oookay... got it. Yes I think a more complete manual describing the functions would be handy ;) The strange thing is that somewhat I must have behaved differently with the stable and the beta... because I never noticed it in the stable version while I did in the beta - even going back and forth a couple of times between the versions!

I also just understood that one... "Register COM port" and "Delete COM port" does just what I did manually, add / remove the incoming COM port from the registry. That wasn't clear either, I understood it as in sWM needed to "capture" an already existing COM port to cut access to it from other programs... but noticed what it really was when "deleting" it to try my own program on the same COM port - that didn't exist anymore after it ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] delboydell:
@ kilrah just tried your add on and I get the following error

on sub_main_timer1_tick

error getting device state error number 87 continue?

Im running an Ameo with Wm6

Any ideas?

regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Sorry, no idea... apparently the function that's querying WM's GPS driver fails doing so. I've tried on my Kaiser with internal GPS, and Hermes with external one, both work well. I also tried purposedly misconfiguring the driver, and leaving the GPS off before connecting, I get no data but can't get it to fail.

At what time does it give the error? Does the PDOP field ever turn to N/A after starting GPS? Can you see the GPS LED turning on? (if it's like on the Kaiser, the right status LED will blink orange when GPS is on).

Is the "External GPS" control panel correctly set and do you ever have problems with other GPS programs that don't ask you for a COM port?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anaadoul:
a Really Great application,

i just bought my MBW150 Classic becuase i found this application :D

but i have one question,

can i send a custom message in case of a custom event through smartWatchM?

i'm working on LPM project (location based profiler) and it would be great to send a changing profile message to the watch when changing profile.

let me know how we can make this work ;)

well done
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
anaadoul

Sure, you can use the 3rd party notification support http://www.smartmadsoft.com/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=1&topic=15 :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anaadoul:
Great Great :D:D:D

i LOVE your application ;), but is it possible to vibrate once or this is a standard vibration that cannot be modified?

i'm having a small problem though, when my Sony Ericsson X1 goes to standby mode the watch disconnects!

maybe bluetooth is disconnecting? how to solve this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
anaadoul

One vibrate is because of the envelope, the second one is defalt. So either disable the envelope or disable the second vibrate...

EnvelopeOff_VibrateOn

EnvelopeOn_VibrateOff

Regarding the Xperia standby disconnections... Cople of people asked me this, I suggested some solution but no one replied back if it works or not... So it's up to you to try this..

http://www.smartmadsoft.com/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=5&topic=30#msg208

Try replacing all the default values by 2 (original value is 4). (Every change require device restart). If it wont help, try 1 or 0.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Easy, if you want the watch to vibrate put "vibrateon" in the filename, if not then put "vibrateoff"... so if you want to do something that vibrates at the beginning of the message but no more afterwards, just put "vibrateon" on the first file, then "vibrateoff" in the subsequent ones.

These files would most likely be created by a program of yours, of course.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anaadoul:
i will be very happy to report to you that your solution worked perfectly.

if i face any other problems i will let you know immediately.

in the mean time i will be adding this functionality to my software, let's see how things work :D

thanks alot, you have done a great job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
anaadoul

Xperia standby & bluetooth: Thanks for reporting. So have you used value 2 for all the registry keys? I just need to be 100% because I want to include it as a Xperia fix in the next version. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anaadoul:
i used the value 2 and now it has not diconneted (for almost 2 hours).

i will confirm this tomorrow if no disconnection at all or if i faced any problems

Edit :

i'm facing a strange problem, if the phone is connected, and i ignore a phone call, the caller name and number will be stucked on the screen of the MBW150 and will not be removed untill you disconnect the watch (long press of the bottom right button) and then connect it again.

what to do?

edit 2x:

Double pressing the top right button doesn't reject the call!

Edit 3x:

When creating a txt file, it is not being displayed on the watch neither it's vibrating, only nothing happens! (Edit 4x Now working, problem with my device)

SPB Weather 2 is not working!

Changing the registery values to 2 made the connection verystable! what are these values btw?

i will try a hard reset and then test again, maybe this will be better!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
anaadoul

I can't duplicate any of your problems. However I've made few changes in the beta that could help with the first one. The second: (a bit workaround but) smartWatchM just simulates the end call button press, however I worked in any situation I've tested.

SPB Weather 2: The made some changes in the latest version. It's on my to do list, I will check it soon.

Instead of (4) powering off bt/wifi/some other network connections during standby, the 2 set's it to low power mode from what can be easily woken up to fully working mode. (However it works fine on other device withound any need to change anything so Xperia probably uses different drivers or power setting.)
