I suppose it means that shows the time of the pda but does not exist individual clock.
[Android Software Development] willfck4beer:
no no... it keeps track of it's own time.

You set the time on it and it keeps it.

Nice and brite OLED screen too. Lack of the backlite lets it be nice and slim and have good battery life.

I'm starting to really like this thing. Can someone see if it is worth picking up - if future compatibility might be provided?

Thank you very much.

Any way to add in support for Astrid, the task management app? Tried w support for external apps, but no alert came to watch.

Thanks for the awesome app though. It's working great on 2.2 with my Incredible.
[Android Software Development] PacoBell:
Do you happen to know where she got it from? I purchased mine a little over a week ago from an Israeli reseller on eBay and it turned out to be a lemon, wouldn't hold a charge even for a second. I'm already trying to return it, but I'd like to know where to look next. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] r4d14n7:
Will this vibrate for SMS as well? I don't need a watch since I have a fancy one I wear for the military, but it would be nice to find a bracelet that actually vibrates on SMS, maybe even all notifications. So difficult to find this information so if you could help me out I would appreciate it.
[Android Software Development] mandlar:
There is a Java API for Google Voice found here: code . google .com /p/google-voice-java/ (sorry, it won't let me post links due to new user status)

If you are unable to get a gVoice, I'd be willing to test for you.

The only other way I could see to get gVoice working is to create a Locale plugin for condition of receiving gVoice messages and then use the OpenWatch Locale plugin to alert the person of a message (but it wouldn't be able to pass details, just say "Hey! You have a message!"). I might look into doing this.

Also, as you already know, gTalk doesn't work on Android 2.2. I have a Droid, if you need any testing, please let me know. I'm currently running the latest beta build of the app. Otherwise, works great! Thanks for you time and effort that you have put into this. It is much appreciated.
[Android Software Development] willfck4beer:
@r4d14n7:

NO - out of the box the LM961 / LM960 Bluetooth bracelet does NOT vibrate on SMS / MMS / alerts... only voice calls... However if we could get Open Watch to support this bluetooth watch... then yeah... I think all of that would work... no?

Alternatively, if it only notifies on phonecalls... maybe there's some free service out there on the web that could be triggered to call you on receipt of text messages... maybe a sort of text to speech service for blind people? Or...
[Android Software Development] cjohnson481:
check mobilecityonline.com. i got the classic there, not sure if they still have the executive one available.
[Android Software Development] tbirdguy:
Is there any hope of this working on 2.2 yet? and if not does the app support the hbh-ds980 headset still?

I would love to get this working...
[Android Software Development] mandlar:
Most things work with the beta version on 2.2, except for gTalk (that I've noticed so far). I know that calls, media control, SMS, gmail, and twidroid work. This is with a Droid and MBW-150

See beta site here: beta . smartmadsoft . com (sorry, too new to post links here yet)
[Android Software Development] tbirdguy:
I am using 1.1.1, and I cannot get it to work with my hbh-ds980. I have seen mention of this headset working with open watch on windows mobile..

reading through the changelog I cant see it in this version.

Maybe the dev could include the profile for the ds-980 or whatever in the next build?
[Android Software Development] navahoo:
hi moneytoo!

i just received a new executive 150 from warranty exchange and suviving a real strange behaviour atm.

after pairing and connecting the watch for the first time yesterday, the battery ran empty within a few hours!?!

as i also got the classic edition, i know that it usually tooks up to five days until a recharge is necessary.

i already checked the firmware and it´s identical for both watches.

now i´ve just reseted the executive and installed openwatch again, after clearing all data, as it mentioned as helpful a few pages before.

i hope that will fix that issue for me too...

How can I start the music player with HTC Desire (Froyo 2.2)?

com.htc.music and com.htc.music.MediaPlaybackActivity doesn't work.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Try "com.htc.music" and "com.htc.music.HtcMusic".

No plans for that. There are better ways how to extend the headset functionality than implementing parts in OpenWatch.

The Java Google Voice API doesn't help - I don't need duplicate GV functionality and connect directly to Google servers. I just need to get the notifications/status updates from the app or based on a change in some database.

gTalk is just broken. I have no idea how to fix it right now.

No official plans but I may add something in the future.

The only one I recommend is Sony Ericsson MBW.
[Android Software Development] daichiasuka:
I know this was mentioned before, but I don't recall seeing an answer. Are there any plans to support Touchdown?
[Android Software Development] mandlar:
That's just the thing. You'd basically have to build a service that parses the Java Google Voice API (it returns full XML of the inbox for instance) that determines whether or not if there are messages. I haven't a clue why they haven't released an official API yet.
[Android Software Development] maximus192ad:
I don't know if this is the best place to talk about this but this seems to be the area on the internet with the most interest/users of these watches. Has anyone else had issues with there Sony Ericsson (MBW-150) OLEDs going bad (i.e. they are no longer as BRIGHT)? I can barely read mine now outside or even when inside the office. If the room is completely dark I can read it. This seems to have occurred over the past 2 weeks. I talked to Sony Ericsson about getting the watch Serviced/Repaired but apparently they don't offer that. And since it is out of warranty (I bought it back in Oct 2008), I don't really have many other options.

Just curious if anyone else has seen anything similar.
[Android Software Development] mandlar:
How's your battery life? Could be the battery inside the watch? If not, then you're probably right about the OLEDs. Don't think you'll be able to fix that.

Htc Hero 2.2, Htc BH S100, SE MBW-150

Hi!

Love the app. I came up with an idea, that I had to try connecting a Bluetooth headset to the device simultaneously. It works, but the sound lags, not allways. But I can get a 23 second delay before the song even starts.

I have made a clip to illustrate.:

Can't connect any longer

Hi, first off thank you for an interesting service!

I'm using MBW-150 with HTC Desire, Android 2.2

1. Everything worked like a charm for 3 weeks

2. Watch died, out of batteries - charged it

3. Could no longer connect to OpenWatch

I have reinstalled the application, unpaired and paired the watch anew - no probs with that. But I still can't initiate connection with the watch, neither from OpenWatch nor the watch itself.

Anyone got any ideas of a remedy?

Thanks,

Tony
[Android Software Development] tber:
Working again

Hi again,

I got it working, had forgotten to try to reset the watch... :p

For anyone else having problem with the MBW-150 & Android 2.2 I'd say this is a fool-proof way to go about it:

1. On the phone: Unpair the watch in bluetooth-settings

2. On the phone: Stop and close the OpenWatch application

3. On the watch: Enter pairing mode, then press and hold right top and bottom buttons together. The watch resets.

4. On the watch: Enter pairing mode.

5. On the phone: Search for device and pair with the watch.

6. On the phone: Launch OpenWatch & Start

Worked like a charm for me in any case. Thanks for an awesome application - donation upcoming later next week!

Best regards,

Tony

HI!

Great App...really fun.

Did anyone manage to get an MBW to work with MortPlayer?

[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Does your X10i run Android 2.x?

It depends on operating system, headset, BT driver... Nothing I could do about that.
[Android Software Development] KaseKasimir:
Alarm works now with version 1.1.1 and Prada Link plus HTC Desire.

Thank you very much. Really great App.

Could you try if the latest beta (http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/) works with calendar reminder on Android 2.2?
[Android Software Development] KaseKasimir:
Sorry, but calender notification didn't work for me with 1.1.2 with Prada Link on HTC Desire with Froyo.

[Android Software Development] navahoo:
just upgraded to the 112 beta but i won´t get gtalk notifications anyway... :(

got it running on a n1 with froyo.

any advice?
[Android Software Development] maximus192ad:
Battery Life is fine on the watch. Will fully charge and will last days probably even longer if I ever let it go down all the way.

Actually the first thing Sony customer service asked me about was, "have you charged the watch?"
[Android Software Development] maximus192ad:
Meant to quote this post in my above reply.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Yes, LM957 and LM958 are the same.
[Android Software Development] ranger7424:
Anyone know where to get the LM957 all I have been able to locate is product specs.
[Android Software Development] ffff00:
Any updates on this?

I need a watch n I'm thinkin I should get a bt one just for this.

Could you tell why there are such limitations?
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
3rd party applications on Android are not permitted to do that (use the TelephonyManager for that nor inject key press).
[Android Software Development] lucia316:
Hey Moneytoo,

I'm assuming v0.2 isn't backward compatible with Android 1.5 or 1.6??

If it isn't, it looks live v0.1 was compatible considering use of the G1 in the demonstrations. Do you still have that available for DL?

My P1i died and I need a new option and Verizon isn't going to fly in my area.

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Version 0.1 was compatible only with some other watch, not the SE MBW. It's not possible to use it on 1.5/1.6.

New Texas Instruments watch:

"This tool features a 96 segment LCD display and provides an integrated pressure sensor and 3-axis accelerometer for motion sensitive control. The integrated wireless feature allows the Chronos to act as a central hub for nearby wireless sensors such as pedometers and heart rate monitors. The eZ430-Chronos offers temperature and battery voltage measurement and is complete with a USB-based CC1111 wireless interface to a PC.

The eZ430-Chronos watch may be disassembled to be reprogrammed with a custom application and includes an eZ430 USB programming interface."

And its $49 :)

[Android Software Development] dinomight:
Bugs.

I've selected the log feature in the settings but i'm not seeing any logs in the main window. Am i supposed to be looking somewhere else.

Is there any way we can see the alerts that are currently being reported. My watch is showing an email icon (abacus 150) and there are not any alerts or an unread emails (that i can find).

Does the software just check the inbox of gmail or does it look at all folders/labels. I've noticed sometimes the emails come in but the subject/sender never show up. This might be related to having more than one gmail account.

Having a log and a list of current notifications with details would really help us troubleshoot bugs.

-D
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
The log feature just shows the Toast notification (Watch connected/disconnected) in the bottom of the screen.

The Gmail notification function tries to find the first unread conversation (among all labels/folders) of the first found gmail account.

1) I did not tested it on a official Android 2.0 ROM (myself) - I'm waiting for official update (hopefully for my old Dream) cause emulator doesn't have Gmail and all the beta roms are pretty unstable

2) It only monitors the first account. (Same here, I didn't have a chance to test Account manager on stable 2.0)

3) It looks for number of unread conversations - it may include unopened messages from all folders, voicemail etc.

4) No official API...

I will work more on this as soon as HTC releases 2.0 ROM...
[Android Software Development] jsg7377:
Great work!

First off, I would like to say AMAZING Application! Thank you so much for your hard work!!

Now for the requests, lol:

Is it possible to add Pandora support (even if the Pandora app is not open)? I know this would probably be hard being that you don’t have access to the Pandora source, but I figured I would ask….

Maybe there is some way to manipulate the controls (Using the D-Pad on the Droid, you can press down and then left and right to thumb up, thumb down or next track, probably similar with the trackball on the HTCs).

I figured the Volume Up and Down, Forward Track, Play/Stop can all have normal functionality and Previous Track thumbs down the song.

Just an idea...

Keep up the great work!
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Who needs source when you have got binaries? :D Key injection is not possible on Android but after a quick look it seems like all the Pandora data and playback control is easily accessible. Ok, it's on my to do list. ;)
[Android Software Development] jsg7377:
Oh WOW! You ROCK! I will definitely bit hitting you up with some PayPal!

Thanks so much!
[Android Software Development] abliss:
It works pretty well on my Droid, but you are correct that it is including unread messages in all labels. It would be great to offer an option to show only unread messages in the Inbox.

Is it possible for someone with an watch and a Hero to Try this out?

I have needs for a thing like this. But the Bluetooth on the Hero is sucky....
[Android Software Development] MotorcycleMike:
I am having trouble finding the Sony watch. Saw it listed a few places online but I would like to see it in person first. Tried the Sony stores in the area and they seem to no longer carry them. Anyone know anywhere in New York that stocks this watch?

Thanks!

I know I'm *another* one to bang on about this. But it would be amazing if you could add Spotify to the list of programs it controls :-)

Thanks for all your work Moneytoo.
[Android Software Development] MotorcycleMike:
Not sure if I missed it but is there a way to see the last phone call, last text and last email? Once it is gone from the screen is there a way to recall it? Is there any user manual on line?

Thanks!

[Android Software Development] MotorcycleMike:
Another question. Can I change the size of the text in the display? I have it set for one line display but it only takes up half of the display window.

Thanks!

Where to buy MBW-150 in Singapore or Hongkong?

Hi all,

I'm very excited when reading all the features of Openwatch/MBW-150, however I'm having a hard time searching on the Internet where this watch is sold in either Hongkong or Singapore. I travel to these 2 cities quite frequently for business trips, but really have no time to walk around blindly looking for it. Is there any shop selling the watch in one of those 2 cities that you know of? Thank you.
[Android Software Development] wired69:
Hi moneytoo,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have an 'emulate AVRCP' mode in OpenWatch. I use a lot of media players which I would love to control with my watch but they are not supported. However, all these players allow control via AVRCP. Would it be possible for OpenWatch to emulate an AVRCP key press for play/pause, back and next? This would provide compatibility with many more media players, albeit with out any information about currently playing track on the watch's display.

The two most used media players for me are Lithium and XiiaLive if you can provide compatibility in a future release if AVRCP is not feasible, that would be great!

Cheers
[Android Software Development] KaseKasimir:
Hey moneytoo,

You really are a pioneer with your OpenWatch software. Looks like Sony Ericsson is doing a new push in this direction. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/liveview?cc=de&lc=de

I really hope you will continue your work anyway.

Will buy the LiveView for having some fun and will take the Prada Link to have a nice dinner with the ladies...

Hope you can get SMS supported for the Prada some time in the future.

Maybe you can do some great stuff with the LiveView as well.

Greetings

KaseKasimir

I have the fake LM technologys watch from Thinkgeek.com, and I just can't get it to connect. I do ALL the steps, I see the phone say it is paired and connected, but openwatch never acknowledges it is connected. I then proceed to uncheck all options on the bluetooth options part, and it stays paired, but never connects. I have an EVO 4G with 2.2 (FRESH). What am I doing wrong? I updated to the latest openwatch. Can you help me?

Hello~

I got OpenWatch to work. It's great app :D

Call notification, email, gtalk all works but Mundu IM is not working.

Is there a certain setting for Mundu to work?

I'm using samsung fascinate with MBW-150
[Android Software Development] mbirth:
Is there any compatibility checklist for the different ROM versions?

I have a Nexus One with the latest FroYo FRG83 and the MBW-150 Classic Update. I played around with it for the last 24 hours and noticed that the GTalk notifications and Calendar events are not notified on the watch. Also holding the "Play"-button twice doesn't launch anything.

And finally, I don't see any log messages ("connection events") on the screen... enabling or disabling that checkmark doesn't do anything for me.

Are these known bugs? I'm using OpenWatch 1.1.2 from the website.

UPDATE: After a reboot, I now get notified for Events, but I only see "Event:" on the watch - no further text. GTalk still doesn't work. From what I see, Twitter notifications don't work, too.
[Android Software Development] thangnh:
Can anyone help? Thanks.
[Android Software Development] al_fonce:
Hi,

I found this thread quite buy accident and after reading it I ordered myself a MBW 150 Classic edition. It has been a week now and I wanted to give a feedback on the application.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 running JM1 Firmware.

The firmware of the watch is 1201-3478:02

Tests have been done using OpenWatch 1.1.1

Using the watch with the application is very easy. You first need to pair the watch using the bluetooth manager of the phone and then start the application. Voila!

First thing I have tested is to remote control the music player. Works like a charm (play/pause, next/previous track, volume up/down). I even managed to remotely start the mp3 player using the advice on smartmasoft site:

For Samsung Galaxy S, try following:

package: "com.sec.android.app.music"

class: "com.sec.android.app.music.player.activity.MusicPlayer"

Incoming call notification works fine, I really miss the ability to pick up an incoming call. This would be very convenient for me when riding my bike. Silent/reject the incoming call works fine thought.

SMS/MMS notification works also perfectly as well as Gmail notification.

I use my Galaxy S has a work phone so calendar notification has been very useful to me. It shows up on the watch on the same time as on the phone with the event name.

So very nice app, but there are some stuff that are not working:

- What I miss the most is the notification of Exchange mails. I am using the stock app for Exchange sync but not having any notification on new mail.

- Not possible to pick up an incoming call

- Not working with Galaxy S stock FM radio app. Well the volume control is working but you do not see the station name and cannot play/pause the broadcast.

- Not working with Google Listen. I use it a lot and like the Radio, only volume control works. No track id, play/pause, next/previous track

- Tried it with the stock video player but again only volume control is working.

That's it. I would like to thank moneytoo a lot for this wonderful app and I hope he will continue to improve it.

I am available if you need a guinea pig for versions to come.
