I have a touch. I was using smartwatch application and decided to try this one but I could not connect with my htc touch. it finds the watch from the "add watch" menu (I had paired both before through the bluetooth screen) but then when I say connect, it does not connect to watch. It either crashes or there is problem with the ports. I am also using GPS receiver, a Motorola S9 and a bluetooth headset but none of them are paired with the phone yet (I have just reformetted the phone) what can be the problem?

Cannot keep connection

Hi!

I'm using a HTC S730 (Wings) and the MBW-100. I can find the watch and pair with no problem. I also get the fancy icon running over the watch display and the time/date is set. But... when I receive a call, the application crashes with the following message:

Error.

btWatch.exe

ObjectDisposedException

App keeps crashing.

So, without really doing anything other than restarting the app a couple of times, I now got the incoming call and msg alerts working. But, after a minute or so after putting the app in the background, the watch disconnects. When I push the crown, it tries to reconnect. Sometimes it's successful, but most times the app just crashes with the error message stated in my previous post.

I've reset my phone just in case any other apps were making life hard for the btWatch - but no luck :(

This aplications is wonderfull. Samsung I600(WM6.0) with MBW-150 works great using btWatch. I also have Nokia N95 symbian phone. Are you planning to create btWatch version for Symbian or java phones?

sWM did not work/connect with HP iPaq 614c :(

btWatch works for

80%

correct with my HP iPaq 614c & MBW-150 :eek:

But only for 80 %

..... ;-(

- NO (SMS) Notification of incoming Text Messages "SMS"(NO Display Info, NO Vibrate) :(

+ Display phone status info is shown correctly the Number of unread SMS messages (but no Notification, Display, Vibrate) on MBW-150.

- NO Appointment Notification (NO Display Info, NO Vibrate) :(

+ Lists all appointments for the day by holding crown(FF) is correct (but NO Notification, Display, NO Vibrate on MBW-150. Only on iPaq 614c).

pcfixitman, could you fix the rest 20 % ? ;-)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nosenseofhumor1:
snubbel i have the same problems. The crashing is totally reproducable. call from an unknown number, attempt to ignore by pressing the top button twice and btwatch crashes. Try to reconnect? no dice.

This is a workaround that i figured out:

1) restart the btwatch app

2) hit connect

3) open your bluetooth settings

4) goto com ports

5) edit your incoming port

6) change it to another available port (not secure)

7) hit the top right button on the watch and wait.

Hello, a few things:

for reference purposes im using a HTC TyTn with Windows Mobile 6.1

1.) i got a new error today.

i recieved an email and btwatch quit unexpectedly.

2.) my previous comment about the app crashing on unknown phone numbers when pressing the mute button can be expanded to all incoming calls.

3.) i noticed that if you just leave the program alone for long enough it locks up or terminates (or at least doesnt show up in the task manager). attempting to restart the program fails. must soft reset before restarting app.

4.) every time i connect now i have to change the inbound com port. that is, connect in btWatch. Change my inbound com port. push the upper right button on the watch. Any idea on why this is??

4.) you havent opened the source have you? i would like to help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcfixitman:
Hey everyone, sorry I dropped off the planet for a while! I got called away on business and have been unable to access the forums or work on the app this last month.

I do plan to continue to work on the app, though. I would like to work on a completely different connection mechanism to improve reliability and battery life, so new features will be put off for a while (weather, etc.).

I will not have a lot of free time over the next couple of weeks as I am in the final processes of selling my house and scrambling to purchase a new one.

Anyway, sorry for the huge delay in development.

Hello, I am new to this technologie and I don't have my mbw-100, yet! (I ordered it when I saw smart people like you developping softwares).

So now, I installed the 2 sofwares available here, one seems to be functionnal (waiting for the watch), the other one (0.1.8) have a problem from the start (installation went fine, I have framework 2.0 installed, etc.).

I get an error at the very lauch of the .exe file from the program menu, when I click on the Icon on my HP6905.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Mbw-150 and mbw-100 differencies

Could someone (maybe pcfixitman!) 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 smartWatchM? 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 Development and Hacking General] DrPyroClown:
problem

ok, so i've been using this program with few problems, other than battery life on watch went from 7+days when pairs with SE w910, and audio streaming on bt stereo headset (blue ant x5, jabra b620, even a SE one). But this week my watch died out completely, either the battery gave out (which i doubt because it still keeps time) or something else entirely. So its still under warranty and i'm sending it back for repair.

Just curious if anyone else had this problem, or if i'm a stand alone. Also I have no confirmation that this program is the cause of or related to this crash in anyway, but i have my suspicions. Either way, I believe this is a great program and encourage further testing

mbw-100
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dj_gabzz:
the battery life with the latest version .9 is around 10 hours with my mbw100 it seems to be a program issue, the smart watch software diesnt have that issue and the watch would last 3 days however smartwatch isnt as cool as this one, this one lets you have a menu at least .. pcfixitman, please send us a new version with less battery drainage, we love this app.

cheers

Hi!

Can you give me any hints about how your application works? I'm trying to write an application that allows me to use the MWB-150 to control my Mac/PC/Linux box. As far as I understand you use AT Commands to interact with the watch? Would it be possible that you post the source code here or at least a list with the commands used? Any help will be appreciated!!

btwatch on viewty?

Hey people,

I've been searching the net to find a way to use my MBW-100 on a LG Viewty.

Then I found your forum saying you made it for a WM phone.

Do you think it is possible to get it done on a LG Viewty?

If so who could help me?

I thank you all in advance for bending over the problem.

Greetings,

Criss
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zaki67:
I think this thread should be closed since the developer seems no longer interested!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schaggo:
snoffster there is little to no chance to get the watch working on your Viewty. Im in the train surfing the web on my device so I cant tell what OS the viewty has. But I suspect it to be the LG OS which isnt meant for strapon applications. The host application would have to be done in Java since I doubt it that there is a development environment for the viewty. So Id say forget it, the possibilities of success are minimal and I dont think there is a single guy on this planet which fullfills your needs: owns a Viewty, owns the watch in question, is a programmer and on top of all that: is eager to program the application... Sorry, I think youre a lost case.

Has anyone tested this program with this cheap watch from Dealextreme.com?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moskus:
I bought the watch, and it TOTALLY WORKS! :D

I tried using the watch without any programs, that didn't go to well: Only CallID worked. So I installed btWatch, removed the pairing and repaired from the program (that was apparently necessary) and now CallID, SMS and Email works without problems!

Thank you! :D

I need to get a PayPal account so I can donate some money... ;)

EDIT: Hmmm... seems like I spoke too soon. :(

It looks like the connection between the program and the watch is lost after a variable (but fairly short) amount of time.

EDIT 2: Hmmm... Looks like the connection is okay, but the watch doesn't want to vibrate after a variable amount of time.

And it looks like it's only possible to connect the program and the watch when pairing, if I'm not pairing the program just "works" for an endless amount of time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BenDick:
I have the watch that Moskus mentions. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14725

The btWatch software works ok on my phone. The thing that I find is that the phone tries to set the date on this watch once it is paired and making its first connection. When this happens, my phone continually attempts to send this information. Unfortunately, the phone does not have a date function that can be received over bluetooth. When it continues to send the information, I find it slows down the phone to a crawl. I miss calls and text messages are received much later than usual.

Is there a possibility that the date function can be bypassed for my watch? I am willing to donate if I can get working software for my phone and watch.

Thanks

Ben
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agep:
Hi pcfixitman! Thanks for the hard work. Any news about the btWatch?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moskus:
btWatch is as good as dead, I think the developer has abandoned it. Use smartWatch instead! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aa15:
Im thinking of developing a new software for MBW-100 watch. The main reason why im goanna do this is that btWatch is dead (alto I love it) and smartWatchM is not really MBW-100 friendly and it doe not offer the same quality as btWatch..

The main goal of this new software is to

-offer a nice graphic interface on the watch (as btWatch menu)(...easy)

-offer a nice navigation for user of MBW-100 (two button...exactly like btWatch)(..Also easy)

-try to maximize the battery of the watch (NOT easy...since I just started to experiment with method of connection)

-offer full customizable menu system and support different level..(Like btWatch..but customizable...)

-I really don’t know what I should make a feature but right now im just thinking about it..

What do u guys think??? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schaggo:
While I loved the last couple builds of btWatch introducing the cool menu, it always lacked the features SmartWatchM could offer. So I absolutely love your idea of getting the menu idea further, adding features to it.

I fin dit cool of you keeping it simple for the MBW-100, those guys always seemed to come a little late and short, but please still try to be as open towards the MBW-150 as possible as well and somehow try to make use of its possibilities if possible. What I came up with in the 2 seconds I thought about it: separate branch? or plugin architecture? maybe selecting your model at start/setup offering different control layouts? you get the idea...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dr_nick:
i would be very interested to see this new app, as, i am sure, would many!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aa15:
well, i don't mind making it for the mbw-150 but i only have the mbw-100..so i only test it on mbw-100..however i believe mbw-100 and 150 have the same connection mechanism, so i think i would work with both..but what im trying to do is return the btwatch quality (ie..nice menu...)...this will simply would be a continue of btwatch....

wish me luck :D

TO: pcfixitman....if you want me to stop..PM and i will stop and delete everything...

oky i posted this earlier..but took it down..but its back now

in last 8-12 hrs, i have successfully reverse engineered and taken btWatch (1.9) back to its source code(VB.net..i like it)..using about 60%-70% of the code taken from btwatch and added the rest, i have successfully recompiled the exact replica of btwatch...so what work now?

-it connects to the watch

-i fixed the EGK animation (it works)

-it can monitor connection (if connection lost..i will reconnect..)

-you can search for watch and add it

-i believe all the menu is right(except email..didn't add the MAPIdotnet.dll yet..which is used to access the inbox's)

-the status works

-the mp3 control work perfectly

-most of every thing work fine(every thing work..so far)

------------------where is the hold-------------------------

-(fixed)a bluetooth client declaration was wrong (my mistake :P) which caused my watch to crash (its fine tho)

-writing a bmp to hex function (if u can help :D)

-Testing every thing...stable right tho

the BEST part is im thinking of releasing the source code after im done with it...now any one who want to can continue the btwatch or mod it can do it easily...

BUT here is the issue--should i use and publish someone elses work?? since this is basically a btwatch taken back to its source code...idk if its fair to pcfixitman (he wrote the software)...what do u guys think?

P.s. im gonna post the cab as soon i get the all the error fixed (...sooon)..im also making a Class for the MBW-100 (will work for 150,200....), meaning any one can make their own MBW100 program really easy...so after adding the class to your project, you can send a sting easy as

Mbw100.SendText("hello") or Mbw100.SendBMP(path) or mbw100.Scan()...get the idea :-]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aa15:
another update as Proof of concept

oky, i decided to go ahead an make a Demo releases of the application....

by Demo i mean, some function will be disable. the reason why i disabled the functions is that i didn't want to make it available until i decided whether its okay for me to reuse someone else code with out their permission..

Some of the disabled code includes

-limited menu you will see, select tasks

-SMS, email(i have not added email yet)

-all notification other then Mp3

-"Add watch" and Config are disabled..bc i have make a registry fix that im to lazy to make right now

-still working on a bitmap decoder...so you will see the graphic error (main menu)..however the main function of connection..sending custom text or graphics works perfectly...this means the hard part is OVER...

just download the btw.zip, put btw.exe in the same folder as btwatch, and run (make sure that the watch is already been discovered by btwatch)

also after connecting with the watch then go to Menu->About (on btw.exe) and then look at the watch

well, i have some job interview this week (i hope i get the job..tired of working low pay retail :P)..anyways i will have the Library(for any one who want to make their own program) and btwatch2 fully working by next week. and from their im gonna go ahead add what ever features you guy want..

here is what im gonna add

-ADD a custom menu maker

-ADD support for other media player(TCPMP not the wmp)

-ADD support for military time disable

-Enable appointment

-Support for app lunch from watch

so what would you guys want added to BtWatch?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aa15:
oky i have finished making the library for any bluetooth watch... Now writing a program for a bluetooth watch is easy as a PIE...here how it works

1. you add mbw100.dll (30kb) as your reference

2. you included in you project (any language..c#, vb.net...)

3. done :D

look at a simple code

i am still working on an image decoder (so we can send images)..but if you would like to test my library...PM so i can give you a copy..

hi pcfixitman, first i would like to thank you for your great work with the btwatch app you have done a great job on the app. recently i bought a se x1 the app works great (exept for some minor disconnections) but it's ok at least it works anyway down to the point. i'm from greece and my question is that the bt app does not recognize greek characters they pop up as ?????? is there any way to correct this problem by installing greek fonts on the phone as that my x1 is bought from expansys generic version UK if you have a solution for this problem please inform me. thank you very much in advance.

Read the last couple messages in this thread, you will see that aa15 is working on an update of the software respectively another version of a similar program.

you could check out smartWatchM from http://www.smartmadsoft.com/, also active here in this forum. Maybe his program works with greek characters.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aa15:
hey mathiosn, good news for you is that i can make btwatch Greek friendly simply by getting the font and programing it to understand the geek char but now i have to finish the BMP decode and im also writing a completely new program (using the mbw library) and i can have the program and library for the watch by next week or so...
