Only stock Android/HTC Music players are supported. I tried looking at the Samsung player, it's one big mess but I'll see what I can do. Seems like there's a possibility... Will you be able to test a beta version if I will have one?

I would love to beta test again... not sure if you remember... I was one of the first to beta test your smartwatch ppc software back on the other pda fourm years ago before the xda thread was even started ;) ...
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Yeah, I remember you. ;)

Try the latest version on http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/ . I've already found someone to test it so I was able to implement Samsung Galaxy S media player controls - and it works. Today I fixed the media track info. It should work but it's not confirmed yet.

EDIT: It works. ;)
[Android Software Development] Lunatixz:
Yes it works, Great!! really appreciate it :)

any chance down the road there will be support for btunes and a 12hr clock?

thanks again

OpenWatch with Android 2.6.29

Hey there. Ive been using the MBW-150 for 2 years now with Diffrent Sony Erricson Phone. Ive always been very happy with it. Now i bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia 10 with Android 2.6.29 insatlled. I cant find the open watch in the android shop and when i download it and save it to the Memory card, i can click on it and it asks me if i want to install it on my phone. I click install and then it says OpenWatch could not be installed on ur Phone. Can anyone help me.

I would realy like to conect my phone to my watch again. Its Great not haveing to reach into ur pocket everytime to see whos calling. Before the X10 i used it on a Xperia 1 with windows mobile, with smart watch it worked great. Way better then with the old sony ericsson funktions on my other phones. Great work.

Thanks alot.
[Android Software Development] Kasuko:
Aw crap

I swear I was subscribed to this thread and was getting annoyed when I didn't get any emails. My fault.

So the newest version of openwatch was pushed out to the market and I got it.

I am using the Fake MBW 150 from ThinkGeek.

With the newest version of OpenWatch when I follow the step for the LM Technology set up (while selecting Fake MBW150) I can successfully get the watch to vibrate when I select test.

There is no text though. Is this a current issue with the watch or am I just doing something wrong?

Also I don't get any vibrations for incoming text. I use Handcent as my messaging application. Does this have anything to do with it?

Also the openwatch notification area constantly says Watch Disconnected.

Is this right?

Thanks again

Kasuko
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
2.6.29 is kernel version. X10 has Android 1.6 which isn't compatible with OpenWatch.

I don't have this watch. It would be best if you would send me a log when the watch tries to connect (run "adb logcat > log.txt" more info http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#logcat).
[Android Software Development] Lunatixz:
I believe i saw btunes added to the new beta.... but I'm unable to get it to work, Thanks for the force 12hr add!
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Do you have the latest version (1.5.1.a)?
[Android Software Development] Lunatixz:
Yes, I have 1.5.1.a and a Abacus watch
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
But Abacus watch has no media keys...
[Android Software Development] Lunatixz:
correct, but I'm talking about the media info being displayed on the watch.... not the controls
[Android Software Development] KaseKasimir:
Hey there, is there the possibility to make a widget for that app? I really would like to save energy and turn off the bluetooth of my phone when not using the watch. But to turn off bluetooth I have to stop the OpenWatch service. When turning it back on you now have to start the app and press menu and then start the service. What about making a widget that starts the OpenWatch service and turns Bluetooth on and off? Activating this service with a single click when heading out of the house would be really great. I already tried to do that with the App Tasker but you can only run the OpenWatch App and not the service. I hope you can help me.

[Android Software Development] cjohnson481:
read through all 30 pages of the thread.

wondering if anyone is able to confirm or deny the ability to use the app with the droid incredible and Sense UI? I konw there is an issue with the Bluetooth on Sense devices, just wanted to knowif its usable with the Incredible.

If so, I'm gonna pick up the MBW-150. Wondering too if that watch will show the 2 line notifications like the one on the xda home page. Found the 150 on the mobilecityonline.com website.

Hey where can i find to buy Sony Ericsson MBW-150 Executive or Sony Ericsson MBW-150 or the fake mbw 150.
[Android Software Development] Daybear:
Hi all :-)

I got a MBW-150 Executive from my girlfriend and i had no problems to pair it with my backup-phone Sony Ericsson W880i, works great and all. But pairing it and get it to work with my main phone Samsung Galaxy Spica (GT-I5700) is not possible.

I installed Open Watch 1.1.0 and tried to pair the phone with the watch prior to start open watch. The watch is in the BT-list on the phone (after to have entered the code 0000 and the watch started to vibrate) but says it is not connected. Then i tried to start open watch but it says that the watch is disconnected....

Has anyone got it to work with the Samsung Galaxy Spica and how did you do it?

Please help..... Best regards Daybear

Hi Moneytoo,

I getting high battery drain on the watch on the last couple of Openwatch versions. The most im getting currently is about 6hours of connection before my watch runs out of battery. On previous versions, i could easily get about 15 - 18 hours of connections. There are times when i could get even 24hours. But now i feel like something is really draining the watch battery. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip!
[Android Software Development] Daybear:
Hi and thank you for quick reply:)

The phone says v.2.1 update 1
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
The watch battery should last at least few days of weeks! There's probably something with the watch battery or something on the phone drains it. What phone do you have?

Send me a log (from logcat - read previous posts) if you can't connect and you think there's something wrong. Restarting the watch is also good idea and may help.

Sure, it works fine.

The intention is to have the BT and OpenWatch always on. The power consumption of Bluetooth is very low. No widget is planned.

It should work. I hope all problems have been sorted out.

Do you have the device set as "MBW-100"?
[Android Software Development] bfinch:
i read through quite a few pages but not all (sneaking at work. haha) so sorry if this has been answered already.

is open watch compatible with the bluetooth bracelets yet?

Hey I have a Sony Ericsson MBW 150 Music edition.

I changed the "com.android.music" to "com.htc.music" same with the class name, switched from android to htc. I have the VillainRom 12.0.0 (2.1)

But it wont open the htc music app. Any idea?

[Android Software Development] Jowi:
Hi Moneytoo,

i have a similar problem with battery drain. I think since the last two versions of openwatch.

My mobile is a HTC Desire with official Froyo, OpenWatch 1.1.0 and two MBW-150 watches.

The MBW-150 Classic Edition from 2008 with Firmware 1201-3478:01 works without any problem more than

one week. The other is a MBW-150 Executive Edition from 2010 with the same Firmware and this watch runs

after 6 hours out of battery. I think it worked with an older version of openwatch.

Do you have an older version of openwatch for testing?

Many thanks

Regards

Joachim
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
It's just broken on 2.2. With so little 2.2 devices on the market, I just can't test it properly...

You can download older version from http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/OpenWatchxxx.apk where xxx is the version number (...060, 061, 100, 1001, 101...).
[Android Software Development] Jowi:
Great, i will test it with 101 first.

Thanks

[Android Software Development] lamista72:
Ok, I need a little help, I saw the MBW line some time ago, now I am very interested since you all made it compatible with android. couple questions on the watches, sorry if they seem silly:

The differences between the 3 MBW-150...I know one is executive and I am guessing thats because of the all metal job. What about the Music?..I saw on the website they can all control music...what is so special about the music one then, other than the face being different?

Also does this program support the MBW 200 line?..thinking about surprising my wife.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] lamista72:
NM, saw the video..so i guess the classic does everything the music does.

But I still have two questions..I noticed there is a black faced classic (not the executive) and then there is the white faced, in the the threads there was talk of issues with one type of mbw 150, I was wondering if the black faced one is the one that has issues or something?

Also still checking if mbw 200 works with this.

Thanks:)
[Android Software Development] stultz:
I owned the blackfaced classic and theres no problems with mine.
[Android Software Development] DJGibbon:
The black face is the Classic, the white face is the Classic Update. Just a styling change AFAIK.

Battery drain with MBW-150 Executive solved

Hi together,

Problem solved. :D I downgrade OpenWatch to an older version, but the problem still exist. After resetting my MBW-150 Executive to factory defaults, installing the lastest version of openwatch and new pairing the problem is gone. The watch now runs since two days ;)

Many thanks to moneytoo for the download link and his great software!!

[Android Software Development] Kasuko:
No can do, now the proud owner of an MBW-150 Classic. So impressed.

However, I am running a Google Nexus One with 2.2 and I am experiencing several non working notifications. Most appear to be changed from 2.1 to 2.2

I know phone, sms, music and twitter work.

I know gmail, alarm, gtalk and calendar do not work.

Anything I can do to help?

Also I would like to know if there is any chance of a Locale condition plug in coming down the wire? If not, I would love to help get it going. I think it would be great if Locale could react to the fact a watch is connected or not (eg if connected silence phone)

Thanks

[Android Software Development] Llogath:
I'm running on Desire 2.2 with MBW-150 and really would like getting the calender reminders ;-) Anything I can do to help?

I'm running Tasker (locale plugin compatible) and like to close/open and start Openwatch from tasker (basically a command line switch).

I'd like to switch off bluetooth during night (without using airplane mode), but currently Openwatch automatically switches bluetooth on while running...

/Llogath

[Android Software Development] wyx:
Please answer my questions:

1. if I see the missed notification (like sms or email!) on my watch then this notification becomes read or keeps the missed status?

2. If incoming notification comes the does the watch vibrating and make sound? If I miss this notification, how many times does it repeateadly?
[Android Software Development] DJGibbon:
OK

It stays as missed, there's no way of flagging a notification as read/seen from the watch

For supported notifications (see first page) it will vibrate and show a message on the screen of the watch, but not make any sound. It does not repeat, but you can press a button on the phone to see how many unread mails, unread tweets, unread SMSs, and missed calls are currently on the phone.

HTH

Nexus One (2.2) with MBW-150

I'm using a Nexus One (on 2.2) with the MBW-150:

GMail notifications don't seem to be working, although I know that was already noted by another member.

Has there been any testing for Google Voice notifications (GV SMS)?

In order to clear missed call notifications I have to delete the missed call from my Call Log. Would it be possible to update the app to clear the phone display when the missed call is cleared from the Android notifications? Sometimes it's good to keep a missed call in the log so you remember that someone called you.

This is a really great app. Very nice; thank you to all the developers who have helped with the project.
[Android Software Development] Kasuko:
That is not what I want. That helps Local run Open Watch based off of other conditions. I want locale to run the phone based off of Open Watch conditions.

I would love the ability to put in to the conditions (not settings) that open watch is connected or not. My idea is to silence the phone if my watch is connected (because the vibrate on the watch is more noticeable than ANYTHING so I see no use for the others. But I don't want to keep my phone just on silence as I am not always using the watch.

So if Open Watch would register with Locale and tell it when a watch is connected or not would be great!
[Android Software Development] Llogath:
Sorry if I miss-quoted you. I understood what you wanted, I just wanted more... :p

In tasker, I can make a state context that checks if I'm connected to a bluetooth device named MBW-150 (or MAC address). Is that not also possible with Locale Bluetooth Plug-In?
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
The only MBW-200 downside is only 80x16 display (MBW-100/150 have 96x16).

Most of the notifications are not guaranteed because they are not official part of Android but these are just some dirty "hacks". I'm trying to maintain best compatibility but it's sometimes problematic if users like you have 2.2 and I don't have access to it (sometimes it's different from device model to model).

Google Voice - no. I can't use it -> I can't try anything... (see my flag :))

Call log - I haven't tried 2.2 but you should just open the call log (maybe each call history/detail) to unmark calls.
[Android Software Development] Kasuko:
Probably, but here is the kicker. You don't actually connect to the device. You pair it but don't connect. So the phone doesn't know the watch is connected. Only OpenWatch knows.
[Android Software Development] Kasuko:
I understand that. That's why I offered to help. I would do it myself if you opened up your source *cough* *cough* :P but I understand respect the decision though.
[Android Software Development] wyx:
Thanx. Why? There is a communication between the watch and the PDA. Why dont know the PDA what is happening on the watch, which emails are read?

In Smartwatch there is a "repeat" function....here does not work?

And how many lines may I read from an email? Can I set it up? This is very important for me.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
There's no repeat. For email it shows just sender and subject.

Alarm alerts should be fixed in latest beta. Gtalk is bugged, gmail too complicated and calendar just doesn't work.
[Android Software Development] wyx:
The "repeat function" and working calendar is planned for future on Android?

A story from real life : I was at a meeting when my MBW-150 vibrated - SMS from wife; looked at the watch - no one noticed. 30 mins. later - vibrated - important email; I could excuse myself and respond to it right away.

@moneytoo: You are one of the few dedicated people who gives us amazing and very usable functionality to make everyday living slightly easier ;-)

Thanks a LOT for sharing your expertice with the rest of the world!

Please explain, what is going to happen:

I've got an email and the watch shows the notification: one unread email.

I have seen it on the watch (it stays as missed) and I've got new email again. What is happening? Does the watch vibrate again (because the new email) or nothing happens?

This question is related to the incoming calls and sms's too....

do you implement facebook notification ? :D
[Android Software Development] RogueLeader1101:
I just read the 34 pages of the thread and am thoroughly excited to try out and donate to your development. I've read about the different compatible watches, and the thoughts on the battery life, the 2-3-5 buttons on the different models, the think geek fake mbw150, deal extreme's two models (one is sold out), sony, and Prada's models....

Which watch is recommended the most? Pro's and Con's?

Cosmetics do not bother me as I can change the band of the watch, just the

hardware

(buttons, pixel resolution on screen),

compatitbility

(Prada has some issues for a while, android 2.2, etc), and then

price

.

Thank you all so very much for your thoughts, ideas, and hard work. I look forward to hearing your suggestions so I can join you all.
[Android Software Development] sineiko:
I look forward to when this would happen. :) :cool:
[Android Software Development] DJGibbon:
You don't get a notification saying "1 unread email". For every email that comes in, you get a buzz and the subject line of the email (or the text of the SMS, the caller ID of the caller, the text of the tweet, etc . . . ). It's only when you press a button on the watch that you get the summary which says "5 unread emails, 0 SMS, 2 missed calls" etc . . .

LM960 LM961 compatibility request!

These things are awesome! $19 on ebay... digital clock display, caller id display, really bright oled display, solid vibrate functionality, two buttons, bluetooth (obviously)... great battery life, and very small package...not the HUGE wristwart that some of these watches are and they are decently stylish... NOT attrocious looking.

Please implement compatibility with these. I believe they've been hacked at hack-a-day to receive arbitrary ASCII values...

I've got five on it :)
[Android Software Development] wyx:
I see it £44.95 on Amazon. It is very expensive considering that no clock.
[Android Software Development] willfck4beer:
There is a clock!

I was a bit confused too... it appears that there are two different hw revisions... maybe?

First there's LM960 (black band) and LM961 (metal band)

but each of those has a first revision with only 1 button (metallic on top face) and no clock and

the second or newest revision which DOES have a clock - and actually two buttons (black buttons on sides)

($25 This one seems to show the wrong model - as it explicitely says it has TIME function)
