btwatch and a2dp

i'm having trouble with running btwatch and my a2dp headset (motorola s9) together. functionally it works well, though i find 5 presses a little cumbersome (long press would be better?).

but whenever watch is communicating with phone - like when i input a skip or pause command - the audio is interuppted several times and is jumpy :(

also, the background noise on headset connection seems worse when btwatch is running and sound quality seems worse :(

anyone else experiencing this? do i somehow need to set headset and watch to differentg com ports (how?)

thanks

dr_nick

edit: and where can i donate to pcfixitman?

I also have the same issue, the watch eventually disconnects and never reconnects.

re Blackjack II

Moneytoo: very nice job on the mute/unmute! Thank you. It works great.

One more suggestion on that feature, it's hard to know whether the phone is muted without looking at the phone because of the toggle. It would improve the usability if the watch displayed MUTE while the phone was muted. Alternatively (or in addition) you could use the down key for mute-on and the up key for mute-off rather than the toggle mechanism. At least that would avoid getting out of sync with the toggle (i.e. trying to mute the phone when it's already muted, then saying something rude only to realize that you just turned mute off!).

Also, the appointment notification and media player control now work perfectly too.

Thanks again.

Manual

Hi Guys,

Is there a manual or something where I can find all the possible options. I can see there are a lot more options than that is written on the first page. Maybe Moneytoo can summarize all the possible options and features.

thanks

The watch only supports long press on the middle right button.

By the way ... V. 0.1.7.9

- sms sender/text notification = Work :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
It works correctly on this screen: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1950839&postcount=499

You will be notified - "Mittagschicht: Di - Fr" in cca 60 hours.

sWM reads the next appointment from HKCU\System\State\Appointments\Next. This "Next" appointment is the soonest appointment in calendar. If it's not saved here, then it's a bug of Asus.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pernod99:
It is saved in HKCU\System\State\Appointments\Next (equally all other Appointments), ASUS work correct !

PPC Asus P750 remind me correct for all Appointments.

But MBW-150 in combination with sWM (higher V. 0.1.7.0) did NOT notify the Appointments :( .

(If I Set volume to value 1 and press Stop/Play button it show me the Appointment correct in MBW-150 Display) :confused:

Again, any alteration of version problems now do 0.1.7.0.

Version 0.1.7.0 don't no big one problems at least for reference Appointments.

Therefore, it was

not

because of Asus or BlueTooth, it any modification/alteration AFTER Version 0.1.7.0 !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
If it's in ...Appointment\Next then you should try the test version again (here)

If the next appointment is correctly displayed in the registry, then sWM MUST show you the same appointment (and start the countdown if reminder is set).

Hmm, (Test with one Test Appointment)

Test with smartwatchm_app_test2.cab, it Works

With Version 0.1.7.9 it do NOT Work

The same entry was exact in both cases in Appointment\Next ..... correct.

Now, I am quite confused
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
There was no change in the code since the test version. Anyway, here is 0.1.7.9 with enabled test appointment log. It has to work same way...

smartWatchM v0.2.0.0

Only one updated feature but it's major...

- Detailed E-mail notifications

On incoming E-mail the watch will display sender and subject. There is more detailed screen in the watch menu (volume = 2) - sender, subject, time, mail size, priority, and short preview.

(*check pictures in the first post)

So what's the next most important feature to include/improve/fix?

Do you really wont to read and browse through all your messages (sms/email/tasks/appointments/call history...)?

Anything else?

Pernod99: This version wont resolve your appointment problems. I really dont know why it's not working correctly since I have no problems (tested myself) on HTC Wings, HTC Excalibur, HTC Kaiser, Qtek 8500, Samsung Blackjack, some HP iPaq. I have tested it on all these devices and the appointments work. I would recommend you to make master reset (and use Sprite backup to recover later) but all the complaings then...

Your options:

1. Get me some Asus

2. Buy yourself HTC

3. Start using btWatch

I really dont know...

Problem with Motorola S9

The app has worked so well with my Jabra that I had not thought to try it with my Moto S9. I tested it last night and got the same results (if not worse) as you. The problem seems to be at a very low level in the communication process. I will rectify the problem, but it may take some time.

I did shorten the number of presses it takes to activate WMP to 4 (any less and it may activate when you do not want it). Long press is, unfortunately not possible with this button. I will post the newer version in a couple of minutes.

BTW, I added a link in my signature to submit donations to the development of btWatch - TIA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pcfixitman:
btWatch v0.1.6!

Here's the updated version of btWatch!

I have updated the app to better deal with long SMS messages. It will no longer split individual characters between lines, but will split words just to maximize use of the small screen. The bottom line of text should no longer start with a space if the lines split between words. I added a few seconds to the display of "WMP Control Activated/Deactivated" and reduced the number of times you need to press the upper right button to 4.

I have added the tasks menu as well. Simply hold the crown(FF) to enter the Appointments menu; at any time during the display of appointments, press the top right button to enter the Tasks menu. It will display a list of tasks which have not yet been completed, their priority and due date if any.

I also made a major change the threading structure of the code (hopefully one for the best). This was done to allow the application to track what the current state of the watch is so that it can be interrupted as necessary (incoming call, etc).

Edit: I also added all standard punctuation - click "menu->test->2-line font test" to see what is currently supported.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
pcfixitman: I think you should start your own thread (since btWatch is growing so fast). Two different app developments, reports... Too much confusing for people I guess.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pcfixitman:
btWatch is moving to a new thread

I agree that it would greatly simplify things for our readers if the 2 apps were on individual threads. So, I have started a new thread devoted to btWatch.

Great job on the email notifications. I've been testing v0.2.0.0 and it was working fairly well. However v0.2.0.1 locks up completely whenever I get a new email.

OK. Keep using v0.2.0.0 (a made v0.2.0.0 available to download again) and inform me if you find any further problem with e-mail notifiocations (I have some troules on my device. First it was working fine but the notifications stopped after some time.)

moneytoo,

Is it possible to scroll through all the functions by pressing only the FF or REW button? And using PLAY/STOP button to activate features in that function?

I have the opposite problem as compared to the no vibrate on SMS, my watch (MWB-100) vibrates but no caller ID on screen. It worked fine on all versions before 0.2.0.0....i've resetted and restarted all devices....but no solution...what could be the problem?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skiddy:
Wow, got it working with some initial difficulty

I had been following this thread with interest, because I liked the idea of the watch and was even close to switching to Sony before Christmas. Just today I received my watch (took extra time to get it to Thailand) and fiddled with it until I got it working.

The first problem was the pairing but once I understood the procedure properly it went without a hitch. Repeated it a few times thereafter, each time without any problems whatsoever. One problem was with the HTC Touch Dual - its best to chose a proper soft keyboard, because otherwise one cannot be sure, if one enters zeros or spaces for the password.

Then of course came the setup of SmartWatchM itself and of course I ran into a problem with the registry values. Some items were not showing up in the editor (Resco), which frazzled me at first. So I finally gave up and deleted all the entries including SmartWatchM from my device. I then proceeded to install btWatch and within minutes I had everything working. Now I was at least sure the watch would not be just a boat anchor.

Back to the registry I went and learned a bit more since I could now look at real values. So the long and short of it is, that btWatch has a superior installation procedure. I was also able to get the BT address from the program, which was difficult to read on the MBW-150 Executive. The wristband is in the way and my eyes are not that sharp anymore.

Playing around a bit with btWatch and all the buttons on the MBW-150 I was unable to get some of the things working. Not sure is this is due to using a MBW-150 instead of a MBW-100 or just not enough "button instructions". The program though worked without a problem, all tests, which were provided, cleared the muster. I especially liked the EKG beat.:)

So now with extra ammunition back I went through the thread and proceeded to install SmartwatchM again. Of course I cleared my HTC Touch Dual and reset the watch first. So pairing again and then installation. I used the very helpful files provided by Schaggo (thanks Schaggo) with some small modification on the actual procedure (no outgoing port) and got my watch working.

By the way I also tested the appointment notification right away and they definitely do work with an alarm set.

So long story short, I will be testing this for a few days and then a donation is definitely in the offing.:D

There are a few items though, which I want to point out or emphasize:

a) Installation should be made easier, use btWatch as a guide;)

b) There are so many functions, it is becoming confusing. One needs to keep a cheat sheet near just to keep abreast. This should be made easier and a detailed write-up (recipe book) with all the button functions in one place would really help.

Currently using HTC Touch Dual WM 6.0, MBW-150 Executive. I may also try to use a Dopod 838 Pro with WM 6.0, which I still have in a drawer.:rolleyes:

Edit: Using SWM 0.200
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
It's possible but I have to analyze more how it works.

Skiddy:

sWMconfig utility (v2) should set the com port without opening registry editor. No need to read Watch BT MAC address. I'm glad you got it working. :)

About some detailed installation guide / manual / readme: I really want to write something (with images if possible), it is already in my task list. But it will take some time (which I dont have much). If English would be my first language it will be much easier... :) I'll try.

Missing email notifications

I went back to v0.2.0.0. Email notifications work most of the time, but occassionally the watch misses an email (perhaps 1 out of 10) and I get Error 003 on the phone. Not sure if this was the problem that v0.2.0.1 fixed but that release locks up for me.

report

> Appointment notification : work at 50%

notifaction of appointment with reminder do not work correctly

i have to unselect appointment notification in setting, exit, restart smartwatch and reselect appointment notification in setting

this way it works 50% of the cases

i did more than 15 test in defirent condition (after reconect, etc) and i can't tell the condition when it don't work

i would like to Hard Reset my Kaiser, i think that sould work better after, but ii's take too much time

soon HTC P6500 will be out (2 weeks), i plan to buy it, i will install first of all smartwatch to test this appointment probleme

But moneytoo if you can fix it .... tell me if you want me to make same test or something

> i confirm there is a probleme with headset

in my case it's with car kit (one old SE)

when i'm online the connexion lost sometime (no problem with reconexion by presing a button)

on time it was an incomming call , the watch vibrate but impossible to take the call with carkit (by pressing the yes button on carkit)

> i confirm probleme with headset

With my Jabra BT8040 , (that as a AD2P profil) i can't tell if the sound is worst with smartwatch, but when i skip track or select volum there is a cut in the sound

this is not realy a probleme, and i think it is not smartwatch the problem , i think it's is the kaiser that can't handle this all those task as the same time

Just questions

moneytoo

instead of outlook I am using Flexmail and for SMS a hacked version of the threaded Palm SMS program. Of course neither one of them show up on the watch. I guess it is a similar problem as weather and RSS for some others. Are there any registry values which could be set to rectify the problem?:)

By the way in my HTC Touch Dual I am not using Hub in the today display but did set it up with Chiang Mai for the weather and then simply took it off the today screen. The info comes through properly on the watch. So for any of you out there craving that function, there are hacks on the net so you can install the Hub. If you think it is taking to much screen real estate, simply disable it on the today screen.:D

In regards to the manual I may be able and willing to help, certainly with the English language. I am bilingual German (native) and English for too many years to remember. Sorry do not speak, read or write any other languages.;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ol2:

Moneytoo: Looking good. Have received 15 emails without any misses. Great job.

Did you see my suggestion on the mute function a few pages back?...

"it's hard to know whether the phone is muted without looking at the phone because of the toggle. It would improve the usability if the watch displayed MUTE while the phone was muted. Alternatively (or in addition) you could use the down key for mute-on and the up key for mute-off rather than the toggle mechanism. "

Dont know if that's possible, but it would make the mute function more user friendly.

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot Moneytoo for this great applet,so far what I tested work well and connection/disconnection works flawless,however I have a problem with my HBH DS970 headset, when the MBW 150 and headset are both connected, the music files wont run properly and the sound of the incoming and outgoing calls degrade.:(

I f anybody know a solution please post, otherwise it probably should be a good idea to post a list of compatible headsets in the fist page

In the mean time ill keep testing

Cheers and good work:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skiddy:
yes, I certainly like the IM+ idea.:)

In regards to battery life 14 hours seems very low. Do you possibly have a constant barrage of notices lighting up the watch display? I just got my watch on Monday, charged it for two hours as suggested and the battery icon still shows about 2/3rds today on Thursday. I get a limited amount of notifications though. Only the last two days email was alerting me via the watch about every 5 to 10 minutes during waking hours, because I switched from Flexmail to P-outlook, so I can use the email feature on the watch. After manually entering the account information into P-outlook rather than using their auto feature it now works properly and only alerts me, when new email arrives.
