With that much information moneytoo probably has just as much of a clue what is wrong as you do. He can't MAGICALLY understand what is going wrong, if he could it would be fixed already!

Please post your Phone (You did, good job!), which watch you are using, what version of openwatch you are using, and the log output of OpenWatch. If you don't know how to get the log then you can google "logcat android" and it will tell you.

Then and only then can moneytoo look at all the information and MAYBE figure out what is wrong.

If this is too hard then please feel free to try psychics. I'm sure they would know whats wrong without any information.
[Android Software Development] bremair:
I don't know anything about logcat or the SDK thing.

Let's give this a try. I can pair the watch in bluetooth setting. It's say the watch is paired but noch connected as e.g. my BT headset.

But when I start openwatch and press the play button on the watch it is searching and after one minute I get the disconnect icon on the watch.

How can I delete all settings of this BT connection? Maybe this will work and where will I find the log-file of openwatch?

phone: HTC Desire HD (Android 2.2.1)

watch: MBW-150

openwatch: v 1.3.0
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
In the bluetooth settings just hold down on the watch entry and you can remove the pairing.

Just in case you also should make sure that in OpenWatch you have selected the right watch model and have started the OpenWatch service. If all that doesn't work you could also try resetting your watch. I don't know which buttons to press anymore, but it should be written in the manual, or just google it.

Finally I got an original strap for my MBW-150 Music Edition watch.

If you need one, you can order it from here! :)

Any chance to have support for the SonyEricsson MW600 : http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/mw600

Thanks

@moneytoo

after a few days of trying the latest beta with system messages supporting i would say it is still the greatest app ever and you should definitely consider to release it as a pro version and sell it for a appropriate price in the market.

but as i got quite a lot of apps installed it takes a bit to exclude them all.

and on the other hand i´m a little unsure how to handle apps like gmail coz if i exclude that, there are no messages displayed but if not its just the sys message and no more complete preview.

anyway ... go ahead and as i own three mbw150 now i will always be in <3 with openwatch! :)
[Android Software Development] zaidam:
Hi..Thanks for the software.

Anyone have the issue that difficulty to read the MBW150 display during daytime?

How we can adjust the brightness of the watch LCD or change the colour to something which easier to read instead of orange.

I have the MBW150 - Music Classic.
[Android Software Development] gorelshv:
What is new in 1.5 beta?

I'm still using 1.2 because of large battery drain in 1.3.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
I didn't know about the new beta, so I just downloaded it and took a look at the changelog and couldn't believe my eyes!

Version1.5.0 beta 1 (20110115)
-added all system notifications (using accessibility service)
-added option to exclude apps from system notifications

Tested it and it seems to work. It even sent a message to the watch when I connected to USB (should probably be disabled). Will test it further and report back. The only thing that bothered me was that the envelope was shown. And I also don't know if the full text is shown in Gtalk etc. because I haven't gotten a message yet and only tested with chromeToPhone.
[Android Software Development] gorelshv:
Thanks. How is the battery drain? Also, where can I find the apk for 1.2 incase I want to revert? I searched the official site but didn't find anything.
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
Can't really say anything about battery drain after a few minutes ;)

And I also can't really say anything about the problem anyway because I run Android from my SD card and therefore there is no deep sleep etc. So regardless of everything my HD2 burns more energy than necessary ;)
[Android Software Development] gorelshv:
Ok, cheers. BTW, I use an HD2 too ;)
[Android Software Development] sabianadmin:
This is great but don't call it open watch if it isn't open. Its just sneaky in my opinion (i know i know you didn't ask for it)
[Android Software Development] belrik:
Winamp not showing track names any more

I reset my phone to factory default and did a fresh install of OpenWatch.

Winamp is now not displaying track names on the watch although playback controls work. When next track is pressed the status screen is shown instead of track information.

Is there a requirement to add Winamp to the double-tap launch setting for track names to display? I wasn't aware that the two were related. I tried correcting that, it didn't change anything. Winamp is fully launched and running, not merely the widget but the full program.

thanks

ADDED: I installed version 1.5 and enabled all 3rd party apps and setup accessibility. Now it works. Oh well, sorted now :)
[Android Software Development] bremair:
A reset of the watch had fix the problem.
[Android Software Development] Devtone:
Love your app! Works like a charm on my X10 and 150Ex.

Two suggestions to make it perfect:

1. Whats app! Seriously! I have to take the phone out of my pocket to read my messages, very annoying! When enabling the all system notifications option, it does give a "message received" message. but not the message itself. The default android notification does include the message itself.

2. Send GPS coord to phone. Not so effective because of the range, 4 fun, shouldn't be to complex. :p
[Android Software Development] rodak69:
Hello there guys. It's been a while.

I'm thinking of getting MBW-150 executive to pair with SGS. I'm also using Nokia BH-103, an A2DP headset which have only volume up/down keys. I'm wondering if these two would play nice together? I'm talking about music lags because of the watch connected and such stuff...

Any replies much appreciated.

Cheers!
[Android Software Development] ToneyEricsson:
I don't know about you guys but that Sony Ericsson Live Veiw is absolutely awfully cheap looking rubbish. It would be great to see other manufactuers like HTC bring out a proper watches with similar bluetooth functionality as the MBW which was built well. People still are amazed to this day when I show them the watch with this excellent app moneytoo made and the excellent functionality it has.
[Android Software Development] bremair:
I liked the email notification smartWachtM have.

Now with openwatch and me derire HD with Android 2.2.1 I don't get a notification with the standard email service.

So what's your favorite for getting emails+watch notification? How does it works with Kmail?
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
Gmail notification works. The app also has support for K9 mail (Have never used it). You could also try the new beta which enables you to read every notification.
[Android Software Development] KreAch3R:
I am waiting my MBW clock these days because of this amazing app! I will post back when I try it, but, I have one question. I am sure that it has been answered already (I read through all 68 pages once) but I want you to confirm this: Can we have a bluetooth headset simultaneously connected to phone?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] bremair:
Yes, we can!
[Android Software Development] KreAch3R:
Thank you!:) I will try it as soon as my watch gets here!
[Android Software Development] KreAch3R:
When you charge the phone does it displays something on the screen? I plugged mine in a little while ago and it doesn't show anything.:( I am pretty sure the charger is plugged in, but feel free to comment, please.

Sorry for the double post.

EDIT: I don't know how but It started!
[Android Software Development] Perfecteagle:
Has anyone recently come across any of these watches? I am trying to find one, preferably the MBW-150, for shipping to the US, and am having absolutely 0 luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/0-8-ol...h-caller-id-display-and-vibrating-alert-23915 - I'm not sure if this is one of them.
[Android Software Development] ToneyEricsson:
The MBW range of Sony Ericsson watches has long been discontinued which I think is absolutely stupid. I even asked se if there was any plans to bring out any new ones and no was the answer. They've got that rubbish Live Veiw now haven't they and quality wise its piss poor. Only way to get an MBW is through one of these resellers that do actually have some left.

I hope another manufactuer brings out a Bluetooth watch with similar functionality as Open Watch is great.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
The watch you linked to is not the MBW-150 and I'm pretty sure it has little to no connectivity with OpenWatch.

Don't get your hopes up too high for a MBW-150. Several of us, myself included, have had these watches for two or three years. Now the LED display has faded so much that it is impossible to see anything, even in the dark.

Numerous attempts to try to persuade Sony Ericsson to repair, supply parts, or point us to a parts supplier have met with their refusal to do anything for these watches. Even with that, I will keep mine for just the vibration until something better becomes available.
[Android Software Development] ToneyEricsson:
Yeah I have both the MBW 100 and 150, the LED display does go after a couple years. Some people have had there's go within months of purchase and now being discontinued and se refusing to fix them its not the best purchase.
[Android Software Development] Perfecteagle:
What about the one featured on ThinkGeek?

http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/c16c/

It has the vibration functionality and Bluetooth connectivity, anything that could be done to make it work or to create something similar to these watches?

If my best bet now is the LiveView, I guess that will end up being what I go with, but I'd rather have a longer battery life and better Bluetooth connectivity. From what I hear the battery doesn't last all day and the connection drops out a lot. I wear my phone (HTC EVO 4G) usually on my belt on my right side, but if I had to I could wear it on my left, I don't think that it should have problems connecting to that.

[Android Software Development] Kawaiius:
I've found someone with this watch who is willing to sell it to me for 80 bucks..he's had it for 2 years or so and the band is kinda worn..Should i get the watch? (not sure anymore with people saying the displays fade?) and where can i get a replacement band?
[Android Software Development] landwomble:
Check the OLED display hasn't faded. I got mine new from ebay.de for about 80 euros. Replacement band available from any watch shop, not sure of the width but it's a standard fitting. *Nice* watchstraps aren't cheap though.
[Android Software Development] landwomble:
That *is* a copy, but be aware that Openwatch specifically supports several copy models. Within the devices section of the app there's an option for "Fake MBW-150" for example. I'm not saying it'll definitely work but it's not unlikely it will. The other fake one for sale on thinkgeek.com does work, for example.
[Android Software Development] Kawaiius:
Lol i checked ebay.de and its confusing as hell being that im not german..but there are alot of watches on there..but couldnt find any buy it nows or soon ending ones lol.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
Does anyone have one of these or at least experience with one, and how well do they work? I love my MBW-150 Executive, but am majorly PO'd about the short LED life and SE's refusal to offer any support or parts at all.
[Android Software Development] Kawaiius:
Yea im trying to get a hold of a MBW-150..harder then it seems itd be nice if i could just find a fill in or another watch that would work.
[Android Software Development] Kawaiius:
Can't seem to find one..thinking about just getting a Sony Ericsson LiveView for my Droid X but all the reviews have been not so great.
[Android Software Development] ToneyEricsson:
I wouldn't even bother with a Live View its just cheap and tacky. Someone should bring out something better that is good quality.
[Android Software Development] Kawaiius:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/0-8-ol...h-caller-id-display-and-vibrating-alert-23915

what about that watch? does this do everyting the MBW-150 does?

I just want one that shows who's calling and what the text says like the 150 does.
[Android Software Development] Ingvarr:
This watch has no media control (or any other phone control) capability, only notifications.
[Android Software Development] Devtone:
Another request, please add 'select all' to all system notifications. Or only show selected items.
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
I agree. That would make it easier. I just want the notifications for GTalk, Reminders (since they dont work with 2.2+ otherwise) and eBuddy.

Another thing that should be removed, is the envelope (or at least it should be made an option).

And there should be a way to prevent OW from showing certain messages. When I have eBuddy running, it is always showing the text "eBuddy" when there is no unread message. So when I read a message, my watch always shows eBuddy. It's better than no support at all, but still annoying.
[Android Software Development] Persuader X:
I can't see the track info with the stock music player of the Samsung Galaxy S with the ROM 2.2.1 JPY. Anyone has this issue? My watch is a MBW 150 Executive edition.

[Android Software Development] al_fonce:
Same for me but I am running 2.2 (JPO)
[Android Software Development] KreAch3R:
I have been using my mbw 150 with my x10 mini pro for 2~3 weeks now, and the app is perfect! Does everything it says.

To help new buyers and users, I should also say that I bought my mbw 150 classic edition for 76€ (brand new and the last one in the shop I found it:)), and that it has to be charged every week or so (6-7 days).

I also donated, and you should do the same.:D

Thank you moneytoo for this app!
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
I had complained here about only getting 6 hours out of my Executive MBW-150 that the display is faded on. I bought a lightly used MBW-150 Classic with a bright display, and I just got a solid week of use out of it before the battery meter finally dropped by one bar.

That should confirm that the software is not the culprit for short battery life. :D

PowerAmp - Title

Seems PowerAMP can transmit title by enableing `last.fm scrobbling`.

(Without installing last.fm, Just enable the option.)

And set music title option on openwatch.:)

I hope so too..
[Android Software Development] Justin^Tan:
hmm, since its been too long (71 pages)

all i want is a bluetooth accessories that can answer calls and be used like a mini phone

anybody know anything like that?

what is in my imagination is like SE live view, but instead using bluetooth headset, we can unplug the watch and using it as a mini phone instead

or something like hybra orb, (which take them forever to finally release the item, if it's ever possible)

any accessories will do

watch, ring, bracelet

thanks before

1.5 beta 2 @ http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/OpenWatch.apk

No idea what changed..
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
According to the changelog, support for the alerta inpulse was added.
[Android Software Development] pryde:
Allerta inPulse

I just looked through the features of the latest version of OpenWatch. And saw that the Allerta inPulse is supported. I never heard of this watch before. So I gathered some information about it.

Right now, I would say that I'm impressed by its features. Since my MBW-150 is broken (OLED is not illuminated anymore), I'm thinking of purchasing this particular watch.

My Question is: Is this watch is fully supported like the MBW-150? Or does it have limited support like the Prada?

From my Viewpoint, since the inPulse has its own SDK, it would be the perfect match with Tasker and other stuff.

Since the battery lasts longer than SE's LiveView could the inPulse be the rightful successor of the MBW-150?
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
I wouldn't say that either are the rightful successors, because they don't look like a normal watch. I really like the fact, that the MBW watches appear to be normal watches and prefer them over the LiveView and the inPulse.
[Android Software Development] shinji45:
REQUEST: (Or help)

Is there a way to change (or add option) to change/switch button actions "press for volume" and "hold down for 'next track'"

I change tracks more often than volume so I'd like it to take less time and I'd prefer a simple button click over holding it down for countless seconds :]

Maybe you guyscan give me some tweak instructions or smth? Thanks

PS: Somehow ever since the last 2-3 updates my watch stopped showing me song/track info. Any idea what could've happend. Thanks again
[Android Software Development] pryde:
You can change the watchface to your likings. The only thing that it is lacking compared to the MBW-150 is that you have to push a button to get the time.

And by the way, IMHO the inPulse does look more like a watch than the LiveView. Exchange the watchstrap with a leather one, and you're good to go.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
You don't have to push a button to read the time on inPulse. There's an option to keep the time displayed all the time.
[Android Software Development] pryde:
Thanks for clarification... but I guess this option will draw down batterylife of the watch. But actually it's no problem for me to push that extra button.

But since you are already here moneytoo, does openwatch fully support the inPulse? Or is it somehow limited?
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
The inPulse battery life is usually 24-48 hours. Most of the OpenWatch notifications work but some features are limited (because of the lack of buttons/SDK) like music control or silent/reject phone call feature. Another limitation is non-functionality with most HTC and Samsung devices.

However Allerta is working on their own 1st party app.
[Android Software Development] beginner:
is possible to unlock screen, passw included?

Hi

I am starting to use smartwatch. Thanks a lot for it Moneytoo.

Should be possible with the watch (MW 150)?:

- Unlock screen, included the password? (I mean pushing a button on the watch the screen unlock, included the introduction of the password).

- start a phone call to specific phone number?

Thanks.

Any help appreciated
[Android Software Development] adolfotregosa:
Little help please.

It will probably be a driver problem but I have to ask. On the X10 mini the watch disconnects and re-connects randomly. I'm starting to think it's when the wireless connects or disconnects.

What can I do to find the problem? Any log in can post?

I have the MBW200 and a Htc Desire. I have the "paired but not connected" in bluetooth settings but openwatch shows "watch connected"

Sometimes I need to touch some button in the watch to make it connect.
[Android Software Development] ormetkruper:
The same for me, but it has always been so.

But after the last update the battery drain in the clock is higher and I have to pair the clock again when I reboot the phone.

It is normal with higher battery drain using this app? It goes from full to empty in less than a week with moderate use. If the battery meter drops one notch the clock goes empty in a few hours. It lasts much longer with my old phone SE W995. I have the mbw-150 and SE X10.

Enable scrobbling in power amp. No need to log in, just enable it. Then you should see artist and song. In the openwatch app enable headset controls and the buttons should work. Works for my mbw-150 and SE X10.

Vibrate from OpenWatch not working, Evo Shift

I just installed 1.5.0 (20110305) on my HTC Evo Shift 4G. Generally everything seems to work, but vibrate doesn't work. My MBW-150 does vibrate on its own (for example, when I long-press play the watch vibrates, so I know the motor is OK), but when I receive an SMS or do the test function from OpenWatch the watch doesn't vibrate. I have tried checking and unchecking "vibrate on all notifications". Tried rebooting the phone too. Just an FYI more than anything. My MBW-150 is so dim it is unusable during the day. :(
