Appointments

moneytoo

there truly seems to be a problem with the appointments. My life is more email and task rather than appointment oriented, so I have limited exposure to it. I did however notice, that an appointment, which I entered for the same day, did alert via the watch, however appointments, which had previously been entered for future days did not alert.

I cannot be sure, if this is a true bug or just something odd, since I have only had the watch for a few days but I will be looking out for this particular behaviour now.

To show SmartWatchM again after hiding you have to hold the left top button (FF) on the watch.;)

There is the option to Autostart the program after a reset or similar. You can choose this during installation or in settings. This feature however is not working for me, because the bluetooth connection is likely slower establishing itself than SmartWatchM. So I have resolved to simply start-up SmartwatchM after a reset. It will then come up properly and asks to push a button on the watch to establish communication. Thereafter everything works fine.:cool:

Appointment notifications: ithis feature will be completely rewrite some time soon.

Battery life: the battery should last at least for 3 days (or 3-5).

IM: I wanted some IM notification but didnt know what program to choose. I will try IM+ (and others) to see if there is any chance to finf new message notifications.

BT headsets & worse sound quality: I dont have any so please try following. Is the sound quality worse only when smartWatchM is running (make a call with connected watch but without sWM)? Second: Make a test call with other BT connected devices (BT GPS, BT keyboard...). Any effect?

THANK YOU!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chunga168:
Just a newbie question. Is it battery and memory hungry to keep a constant connection? Because I remember awhile back using a bluetooth headset and it basically slows down the phone by heaps... and probably not too good for the battery either.

I use a Trinity (dopod d810), 400 mhz cpu, 64 RAM

man you don't know how freakin excited i am about this, i have the mbw-150 and i just got a p990 so it could work, luckily for me i still have my DASH (HTC Excalibur) I was trying to install this and am having problems with the registry setting, I have tried both importing and typing but its not working can anyone help??

We all can Help

Hello Alfred,

I spent numerious hours yesterday night to get it working on my Tytn, no luck. When I tried another phone, Kaiser, it worked in 5-10 minutes. I have read the entire thread on both websites a few times:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=4141 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=362218

And found out that there are several 'issues' which could occure:

1. - Unable to get a partner schip, please read the first post letter-by-letter. I got it working to fill in "0000" first time the phone asks and fill in nothing the second time the phone asks.

2. - Be sure that the registry file are edited with a 'dumb' editor. Most of us use Resco Registry (it's an add-in for Resco File Explorer). When 'imported' the registry please check with the editor if the registry chances really occured. Use a soft reset by press-and-hold the power button long enough.

3.- Unable to get an Outgoing connection on Com5, if you read the thread you will see that there is a registry value called "available ports" you should check if COM5 is on that list.

4. -Strange .NET messages when starting the smartWatchM, please check if the phone has got .NET installed. If unsure you allway's can try to install http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2F-07B5-4A8C-8A44-B4E1B196D5C0&displaylang=en

5. -If possible, try another phone, it worked for me, just to be sure you are doing all the step correctly.

What exactly isn't working for you when it comes to importing the registry?

Best Regards, Tom

Update

@Moneytoo

I think I'm close, I also 'fiddling' the device and the MBW-150. I performed Clean Reset again on the Tytn and installed the .NET as provided in the link. No, luck, I changed "Outgoing port" to COM2, so now it say's "MBW-150(COM2)" and editted the Reg2 file so it would create an incmming port calld "Incoming Port (COM4)" (I thought, when creating a Outgoing Port I only can use 2,4 and 8, so let's pick those ports to experiment). After the soft reset I still got error messages when starting smartWatchM (I changed to incommin 4 in the SWM).

The I performed following:

1. Use the right down buttom key and select the Bluetooth icon (first Icon on my watch).

2. Press top right button, you will see a cross in the Bluetooth icon.

3. Disable and enable the Bluetooth on the Tytn PDA.

4. Enable bluetooth on the MBW 150 again (right bottem key and then select bluetooth icon and press top right key)

5. Fire up SWM and press start, yeah "Waiting for connection" :) It's working!!! :)

So only resetting the Tytn wasn't enough had to reset the BlueTooth on the Phone aswell. I will be looking forward the upcomming releases aswell. OFFTOPIC, this weekend it will be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnaval#Netherlands and I will drink alotta Beer... Check you paypall account, i will buy you some beers aswell!

Cheers, Tom from the Netherlands

Update again, trying to flood this Thread :)

@Schaggo "Another thing: my mum called me today and the watch only vibrated without showing the number."

Is it solved in your MBW and PDA environemnt, unable to find it back in the thread? I have the same problem (Not exactly the same, it's not your mom who's calling me :) but the CID isn't working).

In my post prior to this one I reported that it worked, the MBW was showing the incomming Phone Number. The Tytn was totally empty cause of the Clean Resets i performed. After syncing to my Exchange test environemt the Tytn was loaded 500+ contacts with multiple numbers for each contact. Also I have some general business phone numbers listed on several collegues. I also use Contact Pictures, so each contact record is pretty bigg.

Perhaps the routine to fetch the Contact isn't perfect? Or is it something the .NET stack should provide without any problem?

Can I perform any testing Moneytoo? Or create any log files to see what's going on? As I recall, on the Kaiser of my GF yesterday my name was showing on the MBW 150. On the Kaiser however are only 120 contact with single numbers, not that complicated.

Cheers Tom

This is result of incomplete initiation.

You may try these steps. This I've found to be the best setup.

1. Turn off BT on watch

2. Open sWM and select Start

3. Turn on BT on watch

4. Without pressing button wait until commands start and stop. Now the caller cumber/name should be displayed

Wrong:

Correct:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onedutch:
Amazing

It worked, the procedure you described to startup is working!

Thanks, Tom

Hello,

I have the same Problem ..... outgoing Com Port only Com6 & Com7 available :-(

I created Com5 (by your way/tip)

But If I want to use these Com5, I get an ERROR :

"The Com connection could not be produced. ......."

Could anybody help (maybe in German) to solve these "Outgoing Com Port 6 & 7" Problem ?

Please in German, my (and others) English is terrible, Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alfredtv:
I can not for the life of me get it to let me choose COM5 as Outgoing I added COM5 to the SupportedPorts but it's still not showing up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alfredtv:
I Fixed it and try using this to help

Ok thanks Tom and everyone else for getting this application done, you guys don't know how freakin excited I am to get back to WM, I had a BB and got the watch so went to SE with BBConnect and now can get back to my roots with WM and see how BBConnect works (I'm using the T-Mobile DASH so I know it does)

Anyway for some reason the reg files were not importing correctly and with Resco I couldn't add the long ones so I found this:

A remote registry tool that allows you to manage your registry from your desktop.......

Thanks everyone and I can't wait until it can be running as a service.

If you are not able to use Com5 and Com6

As you can see on one of the latest posts (6 posts prior to this one) I succeeded to use other ports then the Com 5 and Com 6 ports. In short, this is what i Did:

1. Clean reset your device and MBW Watch;

2. Pair as innstructed;

3. Alter the Registry 1 file as mentioned so your own BT Watch Mac Address is in the registry file;

4. Apply the file on the PDA and check if the settings are really added in the registry of the device;

5. Shutdown Bluetoot on the device and Soft Reset the PDA;

6. If the PDA is booted, go into the BT manager and try to create an Outgoing port, first try COM5, it should fail as you mentioned (You don't need secure connection);

7. Try all the other possible ports and write the ports down who DO succeed. In my trial an error run I got an working outgoing port on Com2 Com4 and Com8.

8. If you tried everything please pick a port (This is like a lucky shot), i did my lucky shot with Com2. So now the BT manager should say "MBW-150(COM2)".

9. Alter the second Registry file, Find and Replace all 6 into the second 'free' port. In my case this would be Com4 (I also could have chosen Com8). If you leave the second registry file 'as is' it will create an incomming port Com6.

10. Apply the second registry file;

11. Shut down the Bluetooth connection and clean softreset the PDA. Also disable the Bluetooth connection on your MBW Watch!

12. Check the Bluetooth Manager, it should say "MBW-150(COM2)" and "Incoming Port (COM4)";

13. Enable Bluetooth and install SmartWatchM;

14. Change the Incmming port in the SmartWatchM application, as you have changed it aswell, in my case I changed it to Com4;

15. Press "Start" in the SmartWatchM application, it should say something like "Waiting for connection"

16. Now start up the Bluetooth connection on your MBW Watch again and follow the 'communication' commin by on the PDA screen.

Please be sure you are using a Clean Resetted device, if you get alott of 'garbage' on the screen when starting SmartWatchM you should check if .NET 2 SP2 is really installed. You could try to Clean (Hard) reset the PDA again and start oof installing .NET 2SP2.

If you are still running into problems, please tel us the Brand and Model of your device. Also try to give us as much of details about the used Firmware (WM5 WM6 custom or orginal shipped, which language etc). You could also try some Other ports, please tell us which ports you were able to create an outgoing connection to the MBW - 150. I see from your prior posting that you are using a WM standard (Smartphone) device, I'm not completely satisfied that this procedure is 100% matching with the stepd for a Smartphone. Above procedure is for an HTC Tytn (Windows Mobile 6 Professional), please let us know how you are doing.

Good Luck!

AARAGGHHHHH They guy fixed it while I was writing a HowTo ... I hope it will help someone else aswell! Good Going AlfredTV

Still got CID problems, it is only showing the number.

Hello Moneytoo,

I want to share my findings and perhaps you have another great suggestion to try to solve my next issue. With the above procedure I had good luck yesterday, when someone called me I saw the name on the watch. In a regular working day i go to the toilet and kitchen several times. The MBW 150 vibrates and shows me an 'diconnected' symbol to warn you that you are to far from your phone (this is true, i leave my phone on the desk). When I got back at my desk and receive an E-mail the watch informs me, so re-connecting is no problem.

In the afternoon i demonstrated the CID to some collegues, and at that time it was only showing the phone number :( I tried the above procedure, I also tried to restart the Tytn, no luck. The only change with the morning test is that the watch was several times dis-connected because of my kitchen/toilet visits.

When going home I added my bluetooth Leadtek GPS receiver to the list. Tomtom was working fine with the bluetooth GPS receiver. Got some calls and all the time only the number was shown and not the names for those persons (the name is showing on the Tytn PDA)

I could try a 'Clean Reset' to get to the state that names where working on my Tytn, I rather wait for your comment to check if anything needs to be fixed or sorted out. For your information, I'm running on Outgoing Com2 and Incomming Com4.

Cheers, Tom

onedutch: I will look into this problem and see what I can do.

I've just got some ideas which can improve it a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
hi,

it's compatible with lg-style-i headset?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onedutch:
Huh ??

Hello Bartito,

Are you saying "It is compatible with lg-style-i headset" just to share this information with us.

Or are you saying "Is it compatible with lg-style-i headset?" and asking us if it is?

I have found no problems with using SmartWatchM simultanious with a BlueTooth GPS mouse and navigating. So I assume other Bluetooth devices should be working aswell. Please bare in mind when adding the registry entries and trying to get SmartWatchM to work that deleting all other devices or even 'Clean (Hard) reset your PDA could improve trouble shooting, if any offcourse.

Best Regards Tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onedutch:
Bare in mind,

Hello Moneytoo,

Some other comments related to Contacts and perhaps CID improvements:

1. I also use PocketCM (Finger Friendly Contacts and SMS manager), this program is running in the background. This program wil probalay also use the contacts database.

2. On all times, the MBW is showing the number I see a Name and Picture of this calling contact on my Tytn PDA.

3. I have contacts with multiple numbers and pictures.

4. I have the same number (general Business number) placed at several contacts, the PDA Tytn is showing the first contact who has this Business number filled in.

5. Exchange Active Sync is enabled all times, this aplication is push based and perhaps also writing reading the contacts database. This EAS was running yesterday when I did have names on the Watch when someone called me.

6. I do have allway's a number showing in the screen when someone rings, so the 'only vibrate' problem is gone because of the 'incomplete initiation' procedure you sended.

7. All numbers in my phone are in the "+31 (53) 1254786" format, it is a format which is used in Outlook to distinguish Landcode - Region and Subscriber number. Most people place the zero (0) between brackets, this has no use for Outlook and perhaps future Voip calls.

working with german rom?

Hi, I monitor this thread the last 3 days. For now I have not a MBW-150 but it sounds really great here what I read. I have the T-Mobile Vario 3 (HTC Kaiser) with the standart rom. Do somebody here have the same phone and got the watch running? The MBW-150 is still quite expensive and I just need a "Yes" before I spent so much money...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onedutch:
It's running on a HTC Kaiser Dutch T-Mobile Rom

I have a HTC Tytn T-Mobile branded with a 'cooked' rom, to be exact a cooked Schap's Rom version WWE 4.30 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=355774 And i got some trouble to get it running.

My Girlfriend has the T-Mobile branded MDA III (HTC Kaiser) with original shipped Dutch language Rom. On this device SmartWatchM was running in 5-10 minutes (didn't need to change anything just follow instructions and use the registry files), CID was also working. Unfortunelately I had to give her the device back.

I say, it should be 90% sure you can do something with the German T-Mobile Kaier and MBW-150 combination. If everything will be working flawlessly I don't know, but something will work! I found a website on www.kelkoo.nl selling the Music edition of the watch for €159,- perhaps this helpes aswell!

Good luck deciding, I did the gamble aswell, I have no regret it works for me and i have FULL trust in Moneytoo that some nice features will be happening!

IM+ is consistently one of the top 10 best selling programs at Handango, Shape Services can probably help you out where to find and pick the required info.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ol2:
General Notifications and IM

IM Notifications would be a great addition. The problem is there are so many IM clients. I am using CommonTime's Chat client for Sametime. When a new IM arrives the client generates an Info Notification. Actually, it would be excellent if smartWatchM could intercept any Info, Alert, Warning notification and send it to the watch (I am referring to the pop-ups that are implemented by Window Mobile - i.e. they are listed in "Other Sounds"). Then we would get notifications on the watch for many general events such as Low Battery, NewsBreak RSS notifications etc. This general capability would work with a lot of different software including some IM clients and would provide a lot of useful notifications on the watch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] victoradjei:
Moneytoo, this is my observation of using Bt headsets (I have many of them including SE DS980, Sony DR-BT10CX, Moto S9) with smartWatchM. All of them play well with the watch connected when I am playing music using Coreplayer, tcpmp, and even Audio Manager. It seems the problem is ONLY with WM Player. And this is the problem: The sound to the headset stutters at the begining of each song for about 5 seconds and plays on smoothly untill it ends. The next song starts for a second, and then enters stutter mode for another 5 seconds before stabilising again. I have not tested it with calls, but when the phone is in the stutter mode it also becomes extremely slow when I am opening a file or some other operation. I suspect that communicating the song title to the watch has to do with it. I also know that WM player is a huge memory hog. You can check how much RAM you have before and during music playback with WM player and compare with the other players.

I hope you can find a solution to that problem, or get the song information to display with the other players, preferably Coreplayer, and by implication TCPMP :)

My phone is HTC Touch Cruise.

Big Memory Leak

Moneytoo: I think there is a big memory leak. I am running v0.2.0.3. When smartWatchM starts it uses about 800KB of memory. After 5 minutes it uses about 5MB. After 30 minutes it uses about 14MB. Not too long after that, windows kills the process.

Buyers Guide: "limited functionality"

Hi Moneytoo,

First off.... wow! I've been ogling these watches for too long. To the point where I almost (but not quite) considered purchasing a crappy SE phone just so I could use this cool watch.

The fact that you have not only managed to replicate the functionality, but extend it... I bow down to you! :)

Now, I don't own any of these watches - yet - but I am now definitely going to buy one (they should really give you commission...). The Question is: which one?

Personally, I really prefer the styling of the MBW-100 over all of the MBW-150s, but you say that it has "limited functionality". I've read through all of the posts, but I can't quite figure out what the latest info is regarding this - what exactly do you mean by "limited"? I understand (perhaps wrongly) that you thought you could use pixel fonts to recreate the 2 line display of the MBW-150 on the MBW-100? And maybe the other functions too?

Perhaps you could update your table at the beginning ("Current Status") to include not only SE phones vs. WM phones, but also each of the main watch lines and what they can do? Or have more info in the "Compatible Watch" section? Either would be much appreciated!

Thanks again for this sterling effort! Rock on! :cool:

Hi moneytoo, i just donate 2 x 10 USD (Code 26990651V8132220M) & (Code 3A713309FU335900M) for your great job.

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moneytoo:
Try it with this version - sWM app 2. If the memory will stay at some decent level, than it's fine. If not, test this - sWM app 3.

WhiteMonkey: The 2-lined text has no scrolling on MBW-100 so sometimes it doesnt display as much information as on MBW-150.

The navigation throught the menu isn't that fast and comfortable as with MBW-150.
