I have just changed from HTC WIN Mobile device using the SmartWatchM to Samsung Galaxy II. Was glad to see the watch was easy to connect to OpenWatch.

Now I am sad to discover the watch battery life decreased from more than 7 days to 3 hours. Something wrong with the power management. Watch reset does not help. Moreover after I recharge the watch and switch on the BT, it does not re-connect to phone unless I repair the pairing.

Second issue is I am not able to answer the calls by double or any kind press (option to answer is selected, it just does not work). I am able to receive notifications, and control the music player.

I just wonder if this functionality was moved to a different button? I used to reject calls by double pressing right upper button.

My watch is the Music Edition and it works well with the Win Mobile phone

MBW won't sync after 2.3.4 update

Used to work on older 2.2.3, but ever since i upgraded to Gingerbread, it will seem as if it has paired according to the watch, but the phone and Smart Watch won't connect. Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] Abednego:
Hmmm, the modding workaround does not seem to help and I get too much notification spam for the "all notifications " version. Any ETA for the workaround?

[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
You can just use the all notification feature and blacklist the spam producing apps.

Can't silence the call.If I press upper right button, clock stops vibrating but phone still rings.. if I double press or press longer.. call is rejected.

Hi there,

does anybody know how to deactivate autostart? Regardless what i am doing, the option to disable it seems not to work. I used 1.5.0 from the market, then 1.5.1 from the website - no change. When i turn on the phone with bluetooth on openwatch starts up. If I turn on the phone without bluetooth, and activate it afterwards, its the same.

Since I use bluetooth all the time, but the watch isn't allways with my, I dont want to run the software all the time.

Any hints?
[Android Software Development] Abednego:
Yay for 1.5.1! Thanks!

I'm trying to get a handle on what the current issues are with the "cheap" LM watches. I've read back in the thread to April, it's a rocky road.

Current, you can get what appears to be an LM watch some places for $59... not bad considering the "real" SE watches go bad in 2 years.

Anyway, call someone tell me if with the latest software if:

1) Display Txt Message contents

2) Alerts on all notifications

3) Blacklisting some notifications

Thank you!!!!
[Android Software Development] coder12:
The best way is just to install it and find out, I know there was an LM watch selection that did provide a large amount of options for it.

On another note, is there any hope for the LM960? It's a really nice watch and it'd be great for some lovin' with OpenWatch!
[Android Software Development] exabrial:
well that's why I wanted to know; I don't have one... yet!
[Android Software Development] coder12:
I meant just the software ;)

I'll check and see what ones are enabled on my phone for the current version and let ya know:

Only the LM958 is enabled. It supports a boatload of features, including dual-line capabilities, Media control, and more!

Still awaiting any 960 help :(
[Android Software Development] chucky8:
Can anybody tell me how to stop and start the service correctly?

For example when i am at home for many hours and dont want any notifications to my watch because i am not wearing it.

I tried many things but either i get after reconnecting all notifications, which came in the time the watch was off, at once or in tje future none at all.

After that mostly i have to repair the devices.

So which is the right way? First bt off on the watch or first on the phone, and then the watch?

Or is it a bug?

[Android Software Development] grh_angelone:
i just got my mbw-150 two days ago.

it really is a nice piece of gear.

works perfect with openwatch on my SE xperia x10.

i just had the problem, that my mobile ran out of battery and the clock wouldn't reconnect after i recharged the mobile.

the solution for this is:

first delete the bt pairing on the phone then:

4x button on the lower right

1x button upper right

this initiates the clock pairing mode

then press the upper and lower button on the right until the display goes white, this deletes the pairing of the clock

then longpress the lower right button to initiate a new pairing

now the phone finds the clock and you can pair it with code "0000"

I received my MBW-150 today, works nice with OpenWatch and Stock 2.2 Defy.

BUt it doesnt sho any notification when i get a new Mail.

I turned on all Notifications but it didn´t change anything, I get no notifications oO

I also activated it in System Settings.

The new mail count although works without problems, just a bit "late".

I use the normal Gmail App with one Account

And which Player do i need for the watch to show me what´s playing ? Forward, Pause etc. works well with bTunes but it won´t sho me the track on my watch.

Edit: i Played a bit with the settings and now it shows a message Symbol and vibrates whenever it get a nem Gmail, but it wo´t show me the text, the other problems are still there
[Android Software Development] fiveseven808:
Hey guys, so I got my MBW-150 yesterday and was SUPER happy with it and OpenWatch, but after a phone reset, my watch now longer receives alerts :[ OpenWatch is running and connected, but whenever I send a txt to my phone, my watch no longer responds.

Any idea what happened? :\

Edit: Discovered a bug. Using a Nexus One running CM 7.0.3.

When I enable All system notifications, I can only exclude one or two applications before the app breaks and I have to reinstall it. Let's say, I want to disable tasker from showing up on my watch. Fine. But then let's say I want to disable Gmail notifications as well? I may or may not get lucky. And finally let's try and disable facebook notifications as well. Next time my watch is supposed to go off, NOTHING happens. I can still send a test from OpenWatch, and I can still call up my phone's information (mail, battery, sms, etc), but my watch no longer responds to incoming txts and the like.

Also, curious about editing the bits in this program.

How do I use the caller logos thing? [nevermind, found on authors forums]

What parameters are available for the Messaging info configurations?

How do I easily choose an app to launch? (or how do I find out the parameters of the app I want to launch?) [half found on authors forums]

What does Event queue type mean?

What does Swap buttons do?

Thanks in advance! :]

Edit2: Hey is there any way to delete pending messages? After I wake up, when I connect my watch to my phone, my watch promptly vibrates it's butt off until every notification it's missed is received. Also, is there a way to customize the vibration patterns? For some notifications, it's way to long for my liking.

Edit3: After Stopping and Exiting the app in hopes of ending the torrent of messages to my watch, I start the app back up, and try to reconnect my watch. Not only does it take a minute (vs instant) but my watch no longer receives messages from my phone as described earlier in this post. Surprisingly, a reset of the phone fixes this issue though.

Wifi Networks avilable

Hi

I am using the software with all system notifications on.

Unfortunately I get the following notification all the time "Wi-Fi networks available"

How do I turn it off???

I have tried to disable in the Excluded List anything with Wi Fi in the name but with no success.

I tough of selection all in the Excluded List – then removing the checkbox from the ones I need - but there is no select all option.

Any idea??

[Android Software Development] Gadgety:
I've been using the WinMo based smartWatchM for many years. My wife also started using it a year ago. Despite a few hiccups and having to reboot the watch once or twice over the years we've been able to use them. Then this week she switched to Android v2.3 on the just recently launched Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i).

I downloaded OpenWatch, enabled bluetooth on the phone, started searching for devices on the phone, and pushed the watch' button to start sending BT signals.

The phone doesn't recognise any BT signal.

I do not know which BT stack the Xperia Mini Pro uses, although I would imagine it's the same as all SonyEricsson Xperia Android phones and I saw above that it worked with another SE Xperia, the X10. So I would expect it to work. Any hints from Sony SE Xperia users?

Is there anything else I ought to do to intialize OpenWatch?

Thanks//

Answering my own post with an update. I believe it's my complete lack of Android knowledge that's getting in the way here.

First, I got a message "You have to activate Open Watch" or words to that effect, and a two step process of how to do it, in English. I tried with our native language version, but I couldn't get it to work. Then the message disappeared. Where would I find those kinds of warning messages again?

Second, I managed to find the watch (I hadn't "activated" Open Watch, to my knowledge at least) then it asked for the code. I tried 0000. Didn't pair. Then the watch, disappeared from the BT view.

OK, tried again. Suddenly it reappeared. Tried 0000 again and it paired. Heureka! Persistence did it!!

Hey devs, hey comunity ...

I've read most of this really big thread but i cant figure some problems out. But first some details on my phone... Im using a Samsung Galalxy S I9000 with my MBW 150. My firmware is JVT (Android 2.3.5) and my phone is rooted.

But now my problems:

1. I cant get "all systemnotifications" working. I use GTALK and WhatsApp a lot, so the only possibility to get notifications from these apps is "All system notifications". But when i enable it, it doesnt change anything. So i read about the accessibility service, and that i have to enable this. But where can i enable this? I cant find that service in Menu - Settings - Applications - Services. Or is it not possible with my phone to get "all system notifications"?

2. I cant start the MusicPlayer of my SGS by double tapping START/STOP. I also tried different settings in Openwatch for starting app and class, but none of them is working.

So, can anyome help with theses problems?
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
Now that the fake MBW-150 (apparently a redesigned LM958) has been supported since version 1.0 released in June, 2010, has anyone had display fading problems with them? I have three MBW-150s, all with totally faded displays. To date, no one has found a source or method to replace the displays, so their only use, other than being a nice looking watch, is for the vibration.

Also, my MBWs on Android all wore down the battery enough to turn off Bluetooth after about seven hours. I never had that problem with SmartWatch on Windows Mobile. In Android, an unpair and repair would fix it, but then after a couple days it would start draining the battery again. Does that problem exist with the fakes?

I hate to throw even more money into having Bluetooth notifications on my watch, but I'm thinking about getting one of these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/0-8-ol...h-caller-id-display-and-vibrating-alert-23915.

The MetaWatch and others look like they can do a lot, but I'm an old guy and like the look of a "classic" watch. About all I use are the caller ID and text message alerts anyway.
[Android Software Development] mterry63:
I'm not sure that anyone has confirmed any watch but the SE MBW-150 actually works. The watch you link to is the same as the Thinkgeek watch and I can tell you from my own experience that it won't work with openwatch on my HTC Droid Incredible where the MBW-150 does.

As I mentioned in my post earlier, I'm not sure ANY hardware is currently available that the software supports, which is a shame.

The Thinkgeek watch will work with just Android to send Caller ID, but openwatch does so much more. I'd donate as much as $40 if openwatch would support it. I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
That was moneytoo's post from June, 2010 that I quoted, where he said that the LM watches DO work. Has that since been proven to not be the case? Can anyone confirm that their LM watch works with OpenWatch?

I don't see moneytoo posting much lately. Maybe he has moved on to other things. I know that his OpenWatch is being used on the MetaWatch.
[Android Software Development] mterry63:
If you read through the 84 pages of the thread you'll see a number of problems and 'exceptions' listed for the LM watches. I took a chance and purchased the watch you mentioned in your link, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

I also bought a used SE MBW-150 and it did work, but unfortunately it's display is unreadable due to the well posted OLED degredation issue.

I'm with you that I would rather have a standard analog watch. Even the inpulse, which is listed as supported by openwatch, says only for 'some' android versions, and HTC is specifically excluded.

So, as bad as I'd like to have openwatch work for me, the search for available hardware continues, for me at least. If you find something that's available and works, by all means say so.

For anyone watching this thread that are looking for a source for the MBW-150/MBW-200 you can get them here for now: www dot expansys-usa dot com

How long do the MBW-150 displays usually last?

I just purchased a MBW-200 and 150 Music Edition from the link above. The 200 is nice and bright for now, but not sure how long it will last.
[Android Software Development] ormetkruper:
The One I had lasted about 1.5 year.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
I think their lifetime has more to do with when they were made than how long they have been used. I bought a new Executive about three years ago, and the display lasted about two years. I bought another used Executive and a Classic about a year ago, and they both faded within a month or so, even though I wasn't using them.
[Android Software Development] aeron16:
agreed...

i bought a MBW 150 over here in Singapore in Mar this year.. by Aug the display was so faded it was unreadable :(

I can confirm that OpenWatch runs fine on the Galaxy Nexus (GSM/UMTS)...

... however, GMail has completely stopped talking to the app. No notifications, nothing (from GMail). Plus if I turn on the "all notifications" option, I keep starting/seeing the most recent song on the standard music player after ending a phone call.

Any ideas?

You'll have to be rooted, but installing the modded Gmail from here should fix it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1199518 Flashing the zip file was the only one that worked for me, but one of the other packages might work for you.
[Android Software Development] Abednego:
Thanks for the advice - that's exactly how I got notifications working on my HTC Desire. However,

a) the Galaxy Nexus uses a different version of Gmail compiled for the Roboto framework and I'm reluctant to play with fire there

b) I thought OpenWatch 1.5.1 contained a workaround for the signing issue in 2.3.5 and was hoping that this could by chance be extended to 4.0.1

Also: Yesterday I got 1 Gmail notification in my watch - but silence since.

[Android Software Development] fiveseven808:
Bought one of these a few days ago from Expansys! Just arrived today!

Very nice, super bright white OLED display (compared to my fading MBW-150 Music Edition's display).

Pros:

-Smaller

-Bright display (might be because it's new though)

-Easier to replace band (20mm straight end)

Cons:

-Lower Resolution

-Smaller? (I like the larger 150 better IMHO)

-Womens watch (tiny tiny band and jewel at 12o'clock position)

Seems to take quite a bit longer to reconnect with my Nexus One compared to the MBW-150 for some reason. I only plan to use this watch on special occasions though, once I find a nice watch band replacement that is . Right now I'm using a black metal 20mm band from my LiveView (before it died), and it doesn't look quite right :\ but it looks a lot more masculine than with the tiny tapered leather band it had!

I thought the MBW-200 would become my next daily watch, but after seeing how feminine/refined the watch design is, I'd rather try my luck with another ebay mbw-150 and hope it lasts longer!.
