It would be very handy for the daily flashers to select which apps to notify about instead of which one to exclude. Or a "select all" option? (all system notifications)

My mbw-150 came in today. OLED is as dim as it could possibly be.

I know SE basically refuses to service these things. But since the were developed by SE and Fossil, and Fossil has since made a similar model minus the music controls (with a display that looks the same)... would it be possible to have it serviced by them?
[Android Software Development] netstat_EVO:
Hopefully good news for the MBW-150 crowd in here.

Starting a few days ago, OpenWatch stopped reporting new incoming GMail messages. Yes, the checkmark is set and I also (stupidly) tried purging OpenWatch data and settings.

The issue might be related to my OS setup, which is (currently) CyanogenMod 7 RC3 (noticed first on nightly #31) running on my SLCD Desire. If so, I would need a hint what too report/file as a bug so the CM7 devs can help. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Yeay now on a 2.3.3 clean ginger. My watch working totally perfect :D

Now I have some question about this app.

1. How to hide watch icon in notification bar?

2. How to make notification for more communicators like: "gadu-gadu": https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.gadugadu So maybe get only new notification massages but without all ongoing notify stuff? Will be better for mostly notifications app/system notify :)

3. Is possible add notice for changing conditions from locale?

Thank you ;)
[Android Software Development] antipaq:
has anyone tried it?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
It worked for me on my Sprint Evo, but I turned it off, because there were too many notifications that I didn't care about.
[Android Software Development] antipaq:
Thanks JimSmith94.

Do you use with gingerbread?
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
For me it works with gingerbread. Have you turned it on in the openwatch settings And the accessibility service settings?

[Android Software Development] antipaq:
Raudi1 thank you very much. That was my problem. I had activated accessibility to services.

Now it works!!!

Just a brief update from my previously posted issue (gmail notifications not working): Formatting and flashing didn't help - switching from s2e as to a more legacy apps2sd solution did. Obscure issue solved.
[Android Software Development] mistm:
I was wondering about the messaging info feature ... I am sure I was able to get there before but now when I press the stop button there is just "stop player" icon on watch's screen and nothing happens. Probably I somehow disabled it. Could anyone help me to get it back? Thanks.
[Android Software Development] mistm:
I restarted my phone and it is working again... so everything is ok now.

Hello, does any one have the old one OpenWatch.apk? v1.3 ?

Can You attach?

(older one was more stabile - now the v1.5 is disconnecting from my SE watch) :(

[Android Software Development] Tandu:
i have a problem,the stop button has blank screen and i can't mute a

call. i have gingerbread on hd2. sorry for my bad english.
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
I also have gingerbread on my hd2 and everything works for me as it should.
[Android Software Development] marcimix:
I agree. I have HD2 and everything works pretty fine.

BTW how to hide watch icon in notification bar for example if mbw is connecting?
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
I think the icon has to stay there because otherwise android would close OpenWatch.

But I think it is possible to change the icon, so you could just use a complete black one. That way you wouldn't see it anymore.

[Android Software Development] gorelshv:
I don't know how i forgot to tell you about this but i have written an app which is perfect for Bluetooth watch owners (i have the mbw-150 myself).

it's a nice software designed to make sure you won't lose your phone and it uses Bluetooth technology to achieve that. it works flawlessly with my mbw-150. give it a try:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958827
[Android Software Development] netstat_EVO:
Correct me if I am wrong here ... but, OpenWatch also accomplishes this via vibration alert when the bluetooth connection is lost. Nice try at advertising in a competing app's thread though.
[Android Software Development] gorelshv:
OpenWatch has nothing to do with vibrating the clock. The clock automatically vibrates when it loses connection with the phone. My app is not competing with OpenWatch at all! I use OpenWatch myself on my HD2 and enjoying every moment of it.

OpenWatch cannot, however, reveal the location of your phone incase it gets stolen, for instance. Also, my app is compatible with all kinds of BT devices, not just MBW's. It is perfect for MBW users since they carry the watch on their wrist all the time.

Cheers.
[Android Software Development] netstat_EVO:
The bolded part interests me. How do you accomplish this.
[Android Software Development] gorelshv:
it does that by vibrating the phone and sounding a powerfull alarm, similar to a fire alarm, thus exposing the thief.
[Android Software Development] kyle4269:
I just switched to the Thunderbolt from the Droid and have noticed that when I receive a call, it will show up at Private Number on my watch but on my phone it shows the contact that's calling.. Anyone else run into this problem? or know of a solution?

Is this the best place to get support for openwatch for Android?

First comment: great program, brilliant idea!!! Thanks for you efforts.

I have just received a MBW-150, and am using it with a dell streak on 2.2, with openwatch 1.5.

Initially the watch was receiving full notifications with email subject and a few lines of content, and same for sms. Working great.

After playing with some settings (and a few crashes), now only a message indicator shows up on the watch for email - no subject, sender, content etc., and no notification appears for for sms.

I have reversed the setting changes as best I can tell and same thing.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

- Paul.
[Android Software Development] machmandp:
hi

after suffering from my 2nd MBW-150 display dimming to the point that i cant read it anymore i cant bring myself to buy another SE watch but will miss it.

I have been looking at the fake sony watch (lm-958)

i know that openwatch supports it but i cant seem to find out what functions that are supported

the only ones i'm bothered about are

1. Vibrating on a call and displying the caller or number

2. vibrating on sms and email and also displaying some or all of the body text not just a mail icon.

could you let me know if the lm watch can do this under openwatch

thanks
[Android Software Development] coolregireg:
I'm using a Evo 4G with the LM958.

Your issues:

1. Vibrating on a call and displying the caller or number

Openwatch will vibrate and display number or caller name if in phonebook.

2. vibrating on sms and email and also displaying some or all of the body text not just a mail icon.

Openwatch will vibrate on SMS. It will not display any text, but will display mail icon + incoming txt number or caller name if in phonebook.

OW/LM958 make EVO Unstable.

I'm using the latest market version of OW on my EVO 4g connected to the LM958 Fake Sony. Once I’m paired and connected, everything works fine until I receive a notification. Afterwards, android becomes unstable (random vibrations, very slow live wallpaper, screen distortion, no usable functionality). You have to remove battery to reset. I have to uninstall openwatch to regain normal performance. The same issue exists on a friend’s EVO with the LM958. Is anyone experiencing this on other phones?

I have a problem with the clock (sonyericsson mbw-150) and my galaxy tab, with the Desire HD clock battery lasted me 4 days, with the galaxy tab barely lasts 6 hours ... someone has 2 and feels the same, any solution?
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
I used to get a week or my with my MBW-150 and a Sprint Touch Pro and Touch Pro II. Since switching to the Evo, my battery life dropped to six hours, almost to the minute.

I bought two new batteries (because the outrageous $9.67 shipping was the same for one or two) from here: http://www.thebatterystore.com/batteryforsonyericssonbluetoothwatchmbw-100andmbw-150.aspx but the battery life is still exactly the same. :(

I have seen no confirmation or denial one way or the other, but I think it MUST be something different with Android. :confused:
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
It doesn't seem to be Android, since on my HD2 the battery lasts several weeks on both WinMo and Android. So it probably is device (or Rom, Stack, Radio...) dependent.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
I've had the same six hour life on Evo stock, stock rooted, Myn's 2.2, and MikG 1.03. Maybe my "new" batteries are old stock and they're no better than the original.

Force Close

I downloaded the update today via the market and since then I get errors when attempting to connect to my MBW-150 Exec. Edition. I've tried both of the 150 watch type options and both give the same result. It either no longer connects or does until a notification comes in. My phone is a Motor Droids and prior to getting the update today, it worked flawlessely. Side note, I did uninstall and reinstall the software as well as restart my phone (at which point the auto connect fails with a force close also), nothing worked. Please help as this application is the only reason I got the watch.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
I'm not sure what could cause it.

You can download and use the previous version until the problem will be resolved.

[Android Software Development] scoty024:
im sorry...

I'm sorry, after my problem I continued testing various possibilities and in my trials I turned the Bluetooth off on my phone and then back on and it works perfectly again. Being an IT software tester I should have tried a Bluetooth reset earlier. I apologize if any of your time was wasted in trying to duplicate or resolve this problem. And thank you for a speedy response.
[Android Software Development] wing_addict_usa:
Thanks for the tip.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
This is just a placebo effect. :) Currently there's no difference between connection of MBW-150 and MBW-150 Update. It's placeholder for future function that will require it.
[Android Software Development] scoty024:
1.5

Is there any chance in the future for this to work with anything less than Android 2.0 or would I have to wait for an official update on the phone's OS? I'm toying around with the Droid Eris and see this app can no longer be used.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
No, it's not possible. Only 2.0 supports Bluetooth API. There are two projects for BT on Android 1.1 to 1.6 (http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth/ and http://code.google.com/p/backport-android-bluetooth/) but they doesn't support methods needed to connect to watch.
[Android Software Development] wing_addict_usa:
LOL placebo effect. :)
[Android Software Development] Wishmaster2:
Bug: (Milestone with Prada Link)

After turning off Bluetooth and then on again, the watch cannot connect any more.

I have to hit "Stop and Exit" in openwatch (sometimes 2-3 times) and then reopen openwatch and hit "Start".
[Android Software Development] Rynelan:
I'm very glad to read about this App.. Since today I have a HTC Tattoo and if possible, you make me very happy if you can change the .apk file to make it possible for me to install it on my phone, as far as I know there is no 2.0 for Tattoo (yet). I also don't know if that is a requirement, but most things except for file transfer doesnt work with BT.

I already have the watch, used it for my W995 and I love it, would be great if you can make it to work on the Tattoo.

EDIT: Woops.. just read that it isn't possible for lower then 2.0, ill watch the other projects, and will keep a look on this one.

How to reset the watch?
[Android Software Development] ormetkruper:
Push and hold the right two buttons until the display all lights up.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
Tap the bottom right button until you get to pair mode. Tap the top right button to start the pairing. THEN push and hold both right buttons together until the whole display lights up solid.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I reset and re-paired my MBW-150 with my Evo last night.

Ever since I got this phone, Bluetooth on the watch would turn off when the battery went dead almost seven hours to the minute from when I turned it on. Today I made it through the whole day and the battery meter didn't budge. :D
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
Mine lasts for a few months!

...with BT turned off :(

The display has become too dim. Can only use it indoors(and even then sometimes not) and BT is not working properly on the current ROM of my HD2.

I have searched for a new watch, but on ebay there are only a few MBW-150 and there is no executive edition. And I would prefer a watch that lasts a few years anyway ;)

So I looked for alternatives, but found none. I just want a watch, that looks good (and for me that means it has to look like a normal (good looking) watch), can display text (I don't need pictures or color display... just plain text is fine for me), has a few buttons (touchscreen would probably be fine too) for music playback etc., lasts at least a few days without charging, and should not be too expensive. So far only the MBW-150 meets all the requirements. But a requirement that applies to nearly all electronics, it doesn't meet: Lasting at least a few years or having a warranty.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
I'm keeping my eye on Meta Watch: http://www.metawatch.org/. . It’s made by Texas Instruments and is supposed to be available on August 22. It’s available in analog/digital or all digital, and there are hardware and software development kits for it.

I hope Moneytoo is watching/working on this already.

Moneytoo surely is...as Chris Ziegler's review shows, the code shipping with the MetaWatch is none other than OpenWatch:

http://thisismynext.com/2011/07/20/metawatch-prototype-review/

I was a longtime donating user of SmartWatch for WM with my MBW-150 until the display gave out - that was a sad day. I'm disappointed that Android doesn't allow OpenWatch to see the unread email count in the built-in mail client, as I don't use Gmail. But it should be good out of the box for caller ID and SMS.
[Android Software Development] stearic:
Does anyone know where i might be able to pick up one of the SE watches? My google-fu has failed me in looking for one.

If you live in the Nordic countries you can buy one at nemoware.dk. l just got a mbw-150 music. I hope it will last approx 2 years until the oled has faded too much. My old executive version are too dim now. Hard to get them now as production has ended.

[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
After a few weeks, the pattern seems to be: From the phone, un-pair the watch, do a reset of the phone, and re-pair. The watch makes it through a few days with no visible battery drop. After that, the battery again starts dying again and is dead seven hours after I take it off the charger. An un-pair, reset, and re-pair "resets" everything for another few days.

Is anyone else seeing this and/or have a fix?
