I know, but then I have to confirm first. Kind of annoying!

Another thing, I noticed right now: G-Alarm und G-Time have the same icons!!!! I can't differ them in TF2d.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bubu:
it seems great!

installed and work perfectly! thx a lot...

now just a little request...

the black screen feature is unless.. is possible to put start and slit button in a better place?

try to use this fantastic chrono in a race track, is difficult to see the exact time when u must change the lap!

thx again... i will for sure follow up this great program
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I don't want to spam it with icons, but we will see...

@icons: yeah, I just don't be creative and don't know which icon I should make for G-Watch! Do you have any suggestions?

what do you mean "black screen feature is unless"?

I will see if I can change the position of the start/split buttons
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
What icon size do you need? I could try one or two :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bubu:
I think that if you use the chrono features on a race track u don't need a button to switch of the screen, i think...

another think, i'm continuing using this chrono and it's fantastic but:

if u split time the space reserved for the lap time is too small, in goes out of border and u have some difficulties to see the exaxt time.

and is possible to select wich time u want to main time? for may use (and i time many others) it woul be better if you have in big the lap time and not the total time...

so after that your chrono is the absolutely most completed chrono for PPc! GREAT JOB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
that would be great: 64x64, 32x32, 16x16!

Thank you very much in advance (can you make a running chicken ;-)?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
Ok, I'll try. But please don't expect too much, I'm a amateur!

A running chicken? lol ok!

And if I'm not able to do a good Icon, I'm sure, that some good Photoshop-User will make it for you ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xwaiz:
i used the softkey to turn the display off, and power key to turn it back on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

Great software. I've been looking for this type of application for a long time, and here it comes! Maybe some tweaks needs to be accomplished before it can be used at a regular basis, but I'm confident that this software will be under heavily development for the time to come.

Here is my wish list (in addition to already mentioned ideas form others):

1) Pressing the stop button does not reset the timer, only pauses it. The start button should then continue from the pause time. Make the start and stop button bigger, and maybe assignable to hardware buttons.

2) Button (function) for easily resetting the timer, because of the above point you would need an other reset button than the stop button

3) Automatic split time at a given waypoint.

4) Possibility to turn of the screen to save power.

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] techred:
I have the same phenomena, as soon I turn off the diamond, g-watch stops to count ...

I adore the look of g-watch, but for now the only working stopwatch is still "stoptime" - although it´s a pain to use because it looks like win98 :-(

regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
In the new version there will be a different timing mechanism. But please once again just in case you didn't read it:

Don't use the power button of your device to turn off the display

Use the Turn off display softkey of G-Watch

Hi!

What about support for bluetooth hart rate monitoring? There are actually bluetooth monitors available, see the links below

This one looks really great:

http://www.blatand.net/brustgurt+M52087573ab0.html

Maybe good, but to "scientific" for regular exercising I guess.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Wow, cool idea. I just don't have such a cool bluetooth heart rate monitoring belt...

Does someone want to buy me one ;-)

ageye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

I've updated the list with some more BT-devices, but the problem is that it's hard to find any resellers :-) I guess that the Zephyr ones maybe the easiest one to get hold of. Does anybody know of any resellers for the products?

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I was just kidding when I said "Buy me one"....

I see what I can get... Eventually there is a cheap one which I can buy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

Yeah, I did understand that you were kidding :), did you find any resellers for any of the devices?

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
Wow, the Bluetooth Idea sounds awesome. If that function would be available, I would buy such a belt (instead of my "normal" heart rate belt)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version: v0.2

Just released v0.2! This is a very improved version and I recommend everyone to try it ;-)

Changelog: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/changelog

Download: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=download

Screenshots: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/screens

Some remarks:

some of you had problems that the time is not correct! Please try this version!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

Great work! You really does not sleep do you, new release of both G-Watch and G-Alarm on the same day. I'm very impressed by your work, nice to see support for bluetooth heart rate monitors on the to-do list;)

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
yeah the heart rate monitors interest me, but I can't find resellers :-(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Looking good indeed. I noticed there is no speed only altitude and the GPS button gives the same pages as the settings button. It can only be used as a timer and to see how high you are is that right?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
no, there is speed and distance displayed... pressing the GPS button directs you to the GPS options and status page...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
No speed or distance with me - maybe a QVGA/VGA conflict? GPS button does as you say but the settings button does exactly same?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Now the battery icon has changed from a green battery icon to a plug icon - i'll take some pics.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
@Buttons:

GPS Button takes you to:

Settings Button takes you to:

@GPS: no speed or distance: I just released 0.2.1

Could you please try it again? I'll go outside now as well and check it, too...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Ok i'll post the pics while I do that - it will be good publicity!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
ok, it doesn't work ;-) I successfully used G-Watch today and changed something afterwards which obviously broke the speed and distance stuff...

I'll make some testing and hope I can release a better version soon...

BTW: how can you have a negative altitude? Is the altitude also negative if you use metric units?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Still no speed with 0.2.1 either :-( . I wonder if maybe there should be only one options button as they both lead to the same pages anyway.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
I thought that was because I started the timer before I got a fix on the GPS but just started the timer after the fix and it showed positive but then became negative.

Happens with metric too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
ok, I think I got the error and can release a working version within the next hour...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Gr8 - I'll be here ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
ok, 0.2.2 released

GPS should work now... if not, please always provide how many valid satellites are found (you can find this information if you click on the gps icon)

http://www.ageye.de/?s=download
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Gr8 all ok now - thank you. Got 3-4 satellites. Sorry except the battery icon does nothing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xwaiz:
I feel "reset" button should do just reset, not reset and start.

is it ok/better if "reset" button changes "stop" button to "start" button and resets all counter to 0?

Lastly, now the timer works correctly when the screen is turned off. Good job there! Very good software.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
@reset: yeah, that's probably true. I change that...

@correct timer: I'm glad to hear that!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bubu:
fantastic update!

just a bug,

when you stop the time and push reset it RESTART automatically!

is possible to stop and reset the time (00:00:00)???

in mine htc cruise seems to have a little lag the time to refresh itself. it's normal? i think with the previous version was better....

and is possible to choose wich time u prefer in big size? (lap or total)

thx a lot for your great work....

edited: sorry i've read only now the reset features was already signaled.... so thx for thi great and complete chrono!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
this is no bug, this is a feature but because many people complain in the next version there is no automatical restart...

@lag: it may have a lag of displaying the new time and buttons but I can tell you that the time starts measuring at the time you press the button. this lag doesn't influence the measurement...

@time: planned for one of the next releases
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bubu:
thx a lot!!!!! 'm very happy now....

during your reply i'we edited my previous post to sorry for double post for reset features!

just very last request: is possible to have an option to put device always on (backlight and power) when the timer are counting?

THX
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emay:
freeze

I've stumbled into a problem, if I switch on the GPS or switch it off and then try to exit the program with the timer still running it freezes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luckyuser:
Love that App, I hope it wil work just so good as G-Alarm.;)

I installed the last version, but I can't get any fix with my external Gps-mouse?! (Freedom Keychain Bluetooth GPS 2000).?:(

GPS settings in WM6.0:

Software:COM4 * Hardware:None * Bautrate: 115200

Settings for TTN 6.0 works fine!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
can you try it with baudrate 4800 or 9600?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New deluxe version released: v0.3

I could add a lots of features today:

Countdown timer

Export functions: csv (e.g. Excel), kml & gpx (for GPS applications e.g. Google Earth)

Some other things: http://www.ageye.de/?s=gwatch/changelog

Download: http://www.ageye.de/?s=download

Screenshots: http://www.ageye.de/?s=gwatch/screens

Thanks for using G-Watch!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobzero:
Thank you for the great software!

a suggestion to consider:

When the "split" button is pressed, have the option to vibrate or beep to acknowledge that the button has been pressed. This is so that when you are running you do not have to guess if you pressed the button or not since the touch screens do not have a tactile response as those found in hardware buttons.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Hi again and thanks again. Haven't taken it out yet but just playing with it indoors the speed took a while to appear. I reset a few times and now the speed is not showing at all but the altitude is there. I have 5 satellites.

EDIT: Love the new features and options - the countdown is great!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] _fm:
Very cool work!

Thanks for sharing sir !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

I have some trouble enabling the GPS in G-Watch on my Artemis! The device freezes and I have to do a softreset. The GPS works great in google maps and tomtom.

Other than this bug I find your G-* applications superb!

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Please try it outside! The speed is only shown when it's over 2.5 km/h because of some GPS irregularities...

which settings do you have in Google Maps and TomTom?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xenn:
thank you, kinda tired of timing my class without a stop watch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snoopcable:
keyboard acess

Very good work .Just one thing, is it possibel to add access to the keyboard, i use it for kart but insert 900 meters is very long ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
Does this thing work with an external GPS Receiver? My TomTom has Signal, but G-Watch not
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Good idea

Which settings do you use in TomTom, which in G-Watch?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
TomTom: External Bluetooth -> COM1

G-Watch: COM1, Baud 19200
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Could you please try Baud 9600 and 4800

if it's not working, please wait for the next release

if it's still not working then, contact me again...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
Ok, I'll wait for the next release
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
I've been out with it on the bike and you are right the speed is there. Just wish I could see it when I am riding (hint, hint).

I've taken some shots of the results of my exports in Google Earth. As you can see they are way off and I did not do this route (especially the one through the Mediterranean and Red Sea!)and don't live near these places - well about 20 miles away. It does not seem to get an accurate location fix even though it sometimes shows 4/5 satellites. TomTom is always spot on. Not sure if you can do anything about that or whether it is a hardware problem.

Edit: Internet problems unable upload images - will try later.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
20 miles away?!?!? lol

could you send me the kml or gpx file which leads you through the sea - I'm interested in what G-Watch wrote to this file!

I'm working very intensive on a new version. This will have GPS support for built-in GPS devices which are Windows managed... Probably this will work better...

But nevertheless I have to see what I can do about the problems you have described. But please forgive me. My GPS programming experience is only 1 week old ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luckyuser:
Installed version 0.3. Like the new features!

Tried different bautrates and COMports, TTN is still working. But can't use GPS with G-watch:confused::(

Is there a special way to pair G-Watch with an external bluetooth GPS?TTN does this automaticly!

Are there also diffrent settings for the COMport Software/Hardware?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I will see what I can do...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
can you explain?

1. open the prog.

2. start

3. stop

4. reset ....and the reset is automatically starting again the counting :confused:

this is the way it supposed to be?

what about stop-reset and waiting for me to start it:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
download the latest version or read the whole thread...

this is a bug of an older version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
i thought i have the latest ver. i didn't:o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobzero:
ageye, would you consider:

When the "split" button is pressed, have the option to vibrate or beep to acknowledge that the button has been pressed. This is so that when you are running you do not have to guess if you pressed the button or not since the touch screens do not have a tactile response as those found in hardware buttons.

A dedicated stopwatch usually beeps when you press a button, which is a nice reassurance :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I already read your post! You don't have to double post...

it's already on my todo list (and also integrated in the version I will release soon)

http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/todo
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobzero:
Thank you, sorry for double post, I wasn't sure if you had seen it since it was the last posting on the default page size.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobzero:
You should download apptodate, it will automatically download and install newer versions of G alarm and G watch :)

It is a great program much like the programs it updates :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I see everything ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

In both tomtom and google maps the GPS setting is stated to be managed by windows, I guess this is because the Artemis has a inbuilt GPS. However in the GPS settings in windows, it says that the GPS is enebled on com4, 4800 baud. I tryed visualGPSce and there the com4, 4800 baud setting works like a charm. When I trye the same settings in G-Watch, the device freezes momentarely when I eneable the GPS.

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I will release v0.4 in a few hours which will support windows managed gps devices...

stay tuned...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version: v0.4

Lots of changes!

Everyone who had GPS problems

Please report me if it works now (I implemented 3 different GPS accessing methods... Please try all of them...

Tell me if it works now with Bluetooth devices)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

First of all I would like to thank you again for the great work that you put in to all the G-*series of applications. The amounts of features and the release frequencies of both G-Watch and G-Alarm really impress me. Second I would like to report that the GPS on my Artemis now works as it should when managed by windows, great!!

Third I would like to suggest some features that I think would make the G-Watch easier to use in a real exercising environment. Especially during the winter time (which has almost started her in Norway) when you have to do outdoor activities with gloves.

1) Make toggle backlight assignable to a hardware button (that overrides the windows default button assignments) as long as G-Watch is running.

2) Make an option to lock the screen and all buttons (except the ones that are mapped to G-Watch) when a timer is started. Make it optional to turn of the backlight at the same time.

3) Make split time assignable to a hardware button. If backlight is off, show backlight for a configurable amount of seconds (whiteout releasing the lock) before the backlight automatically turns off again.

4) Make stop/resume assignable to a hardware button. Stopping the timer should automatically turn on the backlight and release the lock. If the timer resumes, apply the lock again and turn off the backlight.

I hope you get the idea behind the above requests, it's only meant to make the application more robust during a real exercise, for example during running or cross country skiing.

5) Make the session folder and the default export folder configurable.

PS! I've tried to look for bluetooth heart rate monitor resellers, but have not found any yet.

Regards,

PK

New version: 0.4.1

I fixed a stupid bug: the latitude and longitude should be correct now all over the world... not only on the northern and eastern hemisphere ;-)

(thanks to custardo01)

Download: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=download

first of all: thank you for the report... I'm glad that it works now on windows managed devices...

@frequencies of updates: I probably annoy lots of people because I release so many updates... (sorry)

But it is easier for me if all of you can take part of the development process and help me to find bugs. equivalent all of my products are for free (and they will always be for free - well unless apple buys all of my products :eek:)

@ideas:

0. I'd love to come to norway and make some outdoor sports in the winter...

1. Hardware button: good idea!

2. good idea - well locking a device is totally new to me so I don't know when I'm able to implement that

3. also a good idea - still I don't really know how to assign hardware buttons but I will see...

4. I put them all to my todo list

5. I think I'll add this as an hidden option

http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/todo

Thank you and stay tuned!

Installed 0.4.1.

First i turn Bluetooth ON, to pair GPS mouse.

But if I try to connect external GPS mouse (Freedom Keychain Bluetooth GPS 2000), nothing happens!?

External GPS settings in WM 6.0:

Programs COM4

Hardware: none

Baudrate:115200 tried also 4800/9600

TTN 6.0 still working!

Tried different options/settings in G-Watch:

Windows managed (no matter wat kind of COM or Baudrate): Gps Status Running, but no info Longitude/Latitude/Altitude

Valid satellites: 0

NMEA (no matter wat kind of COM or Baudrate): Gps Status Stopped

Alternative NMEA (no matter wat kind of COM or Baudrate): Gps Status Stopped

Can't get an GPS fix!?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Thank you for that information. Then I have to add some Bluetooth code as well...

Please keep me up to date!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luckyuser:
It is a great pleasure for me, to do that!;)

BTW, if I install a newer version must i uninstall the old one before?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
the installer asks you if you want to remove the old one -> press "Yes"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version (again): 0.4.2

I fixed again some GPS stuff (sorry, Bluetooth GPS devices still not supported) and finally included skin support!

All you skin creators out there:

Start making some great skins for G-Watch and send them to me!

A detailed howto will follow, but I think that the experienced users know what to do...

Changelog: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/changelog

I'm awaiting your skins ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

Great work as usual! I'm exited about the skin support, I like the default skin but it's always good do have some alternatives.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
Hi ageye,

If you want I can try to do the same but for the icon of G-watch ;)

Just send me your files that you used to make the icon and I will try to see what I can do :D

EDIT : I will also try to make a skin ! Qood job again mt friend...jsut one question ? when will you release the multilingual version ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
This is not true. My BT GPS is working perfectly :-) Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
what do you do that it works?!? can you explain it to the other BT GPS owners (I don't have a BT device that's why I can't test it)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
in countdown mode:

- the + icon for seconds become darker after using it.

- start icon become darker and darker until gradually, with each push, disappear ....

this time i am using the latest ver 0.4.2 so, don't snap at me please!:D
