Issues

Hi,

I flash my phone yesterday, this rom is very fast but it have some issues that don't like me.

PROS

* Very fast ROM

* Modified for touch with finger (no stylus)

CONTRA

* Missing task manager

* Interface very big, in some applications appear scroll

* Missing other input methods

* In dialer, the Bottom keys (*, 0, #) are overlapped with the new bar, this show a ugly appearance

* Comm Manager don't work, i turn on wi-fi but then i don't could turn off, bluetooth don't show any icon and in comm manager don't appear turn on

* Don't detect network operator settings

* In the People tab the letter are black, the contact name are not easy to read

* The problem reported in the photos and video too

And other things that i don't remember.

I back to my WM6.1 v14
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] XirXes:
I have realized that some of the problems your having have solutiuons. Task manager is still there just press the same place you would before and it shows up. Wifi has to be turned off in the settings and I just tried bluetooth and it works. I have some cabs for setting up operator settings. I made the t-mobile us one myself and I haven't tested it but the other ones are legit. http://xaxas.servebeer.com/~xirxes/connection_Setup.7z

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sphinx88:
I have been struggling with my battery life and started to make some measurements with a program called PowerGuard v1.2. I was hoping that someone might be able to give me some comparable results..

My Tilt is pulling the following mA draw

Idle:	75mA

On With Backlight:	140mA

In Call with Backlight	325mA

In Call w/o Backlight	250mA

Can anyone provide some results to compare? I have heard that idle usage should be around 50mA.

I found the Software here:

http://www.vandenmuyzenberg.nl/PowerGuard/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Without using PowerGuard and just using AEButton i can tell you that idle my device draws 7mA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sphinx88:
I did not now AEButton had an option for recording power draw... Will give it a try...

How about in-call usage? That seems to be what is killing me.. my standby time seems great...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
It doesn't monitor but has the option to show uptime and mA usage calls always kill battery, but then very dependant on Radio.

Is there a way to force a redraw or refresh of the Sony Ericsson panel? In Mortscript especially. I know there is of course not a direct call like there is for "RedrawToday", but maybe there is some other way around to get the background to be reloaded?

I was just making a simple mortscript to update the SE panel background image to a random pick from a directory, and while the image in the "\Program Files\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel\images" directory is changing successfully, the actual background image remains as it was when the panel was last reloaded, either via a change from "Options" or a reboot.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

EDIT:

It looks like when you change the background on the SE panel, a few files get updated in different places, and these files are not changed again until you go to Options, change the background and then exit options...

\Program Files\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel\back_01h.dat and back_01v.dat - I don't know what these files have in them, but it seems likely these are the files of interest

\Program Files\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel\sep1l, sep1ll, sep1p, sep1pl - these are the thumbnaiils generated with the default template-like panel icons/text with the most recent background image

\Program Files\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel\update1.dat - I don't know what this file has

How much for the watch?
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
$50 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26316)
[Android Software Development] velazcod:
brilliant idea, is the app open source? can we help or provide code to enable other custom notifications?

Maybe we can even make apps on the market "openwatch" friendly...

Also, I know its not possible because there's no API available for it..but GMAIL notifications would be great too.

Looking forward for it
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
The good thing about Android is that exactly this will be way easier than on other mobile platforms. Twitter updates or whatever you can imagine. :)
[Android Software Development] JoshHart:
Definitely ordering one of these watches, this is sick.
[Android Software Development] AdamPI:
It's nice alright, but I don't like the watch :(

I did a quick search, so I see music controls are possible.

But I tell you what the watch needs, a microphone (yeah and a speaker I guess). It would be sweet to use it in conjunction with bluetooth headphones, so you can be listening to music, answer and talk to the watch with your phone wherever.

But mix that with voice control and you've really got something cool. (Just don't say "Disable Bluetooth" :p)
[Android Software Development] Robot Teapot:
perhaps something could be done to support this one? The vibration function, fact that it is 25 bucks, and the look of the device itself would make me jump right on it...

http://hackaday.com/2009/02/17/hackit-hackable-bluetooth-bracelet/
[Android Software Development] Escaladez2:
Amen. I actually have already purchased this myself for this very purpose. However, many websites are already up for hacking it and 0 progress has been made so I doubt it would be possible.:(
[Android Software Development] aaronkt:
I love the idea of this we just need more choices on the watches and what not. I guess that will come in time.

I really like the idea of being able to look at my watch and see who is calling instead of fumbling around with my phone in my pocket during a meeting.

A mic would be cool i guess but i don't think i would use it much. I would rather the device be able to show me missed calls, the entire txt message and mms messages (possible pic), calendar appointments and so forth. Great idea.

The Sony Erricson one looks pretty cool but it looks a bit spendy. Just need some companies to pump some more watches out.

Since the connection is a bit stable and should handle reconnection, I have made OpenWatch available on Android Market.

Now I can finally start using it. ;)
[Android Software Development] Icebergxx:
Throw some Augmented Reality on that watch with a QWERY and I'm balls deep in!

Lol its a very cool idea and nice to see but, I typically don't wear a watch especially with my g1 in my pocket and the fact that I'm more wired to check my phone in my pocket then look at a watch.

But I don't have a lot of blue tooth experience and I can see my phone being away and my watch saying I have calls and texts, that would be nice :]
[Android Software Development] ThrashWolf:

[Android Software Development] tabashir:
I know that the top of the thread says LM958 only, but does this include the LM957 Sports version? (http://www.lm-technologies.com/home/bluetooth/LM957/bluetooth-watch-sports )

On other threads they seem to refer to the series as LM957/LM958 and looking on the manufacturer site data sheets the functionality looks identical, they appear to differ only in styling so I'm guessing it should work.

Can anyone confirm one way or the other?
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Probably not. Sorry.

Not yet. But since some people said it worked for them it would be interesting to make some list of devices and firmware versions. If possible try testing it on clear (master reset) device.

This IS the expected behavior. I won't work on that until there's documented official messaging API for Android.

This is (unfortunately) common among mobile devices (WiFi vs BT).

Nope.
[Android Software Development] hibbity123:
works great on the htc incredible with sense ui. watch battery lasted about a week, cell battery wasnt noticably impacted. its real bad tho, incredible-ly bad battery life out on the service area fringe.

i love it! the pure win involved in this project can only be measured against the burning intensity of the sun. :eek:

my greatest wish is that it could start the music app and play when its not playing music already.

or that i could set custom toggle shortcuts like track skip back could be assigned to a toggle widget or shortcut.

I go in and out of service areas all day, and it would be awesome to toggle mobile data on and off without having to get my phone out, unlock, and press the widget.

also, scrolling email text would be cool. or maybe if its under a set charachter limit. I use email as a replacement for txting. feels $20 cheaper.

i love you man. im totally gonna donate once i make it home without running out of dollars. its a 2000 mile trek, wish me luck.

Ok, i'll get the ball rolling for Legend users. Tried with these 3 ROMs, & all can pair but says not connected. In all 3 ROMs, using openwatch it takes about 1minute to connect to watch but openwatch does not say it is connected. Using test function does nothing & no sms or other alerts appear on the watch EXCEPT for incoming call. It will often disconnect without warning as well. Below are 3 ROMs tried on.

1. RUU_Legend_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.31.707.2_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_121965_signed

2. RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.4_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_123853_signed (custom baked through Modaco's online Kitchen)

3. R3 Rooted_update by Modaco

[Android Software Development] DJGibbon:
Hi Moneytoo

I've been having some problem with Openwatch preventing my Desire from sleeping - if I understand you correctly, the second point above says that the phone should be able to sleep if the watch isn't constantly sending commands. However as described in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=666404) my awake time is the same as my running time, and if I type *#*#4636#*#*, Openwatch is at the top of the Partial wake usage chart (almost entirely full bar).

I unplug my phone at 7am and it will sometimes make it through to 10pm before cutting out, but rarely. Wireless is off, screen dark, etc etc. I'm not rooted so can't run logcat to see what's going on (unless there's another way?)

I could be wrong and the nature of the app means that the phone can't sleep - am I wrong? If not is there any way of fixing this?

Happy to help with any debugging / testing / etc I can do

Cheers

Phil

Same problem here. I installed froyo on my nexus one and I'm able to connect the watch to openwatch, but after a while the connection is lost and I have to push the button on the watch to connect again. Clearly, when connection is lost, if I receive a call, the watch doesn't inform me about it.
[Android Software Development] machmandp:
Hi

Having just moved from WM to Android i switched from SmartwatchM to Openwatch to work with my MBW-150

I must say that in terms of Connection it's miles better on my Desire than on the Touch HD - it seems not to lose connection as much and it's easier to reconnect

but i m not getting any notifications on SMS delivery's on the Watch

It Tests ok but does not vibrate on test (not sure if it should) and the firmware checks ok (revision 1201-3478:01)

Having read through the Thread it may be to do with sense but it's strange that some things seem to work and not others

i am missing the Mail notifications on exchange mail and i know that this has been asked a couple of times but i have found no reply as yet so just wanted to know if you are any closer to adding exchange support into openwatch ?

Is there any info or specific tests we can do that will help out ?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] thynk:
Same here on my Nexus One, same behavior with 2.1 and 2.2. MBW-150. I've tried playing with settings. I don't get the disconnect signal from the watch when this happens. If there is anything I can do to test, please let me know!

Thanks for great software! I had my watch packed away and was ready to Ebay until I found this had been released for Android. When it's connected, it works flawlessly.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Should be better with 0.6.0.

The only option is to use K-9 mail.

You don't need root for that.

Possible ways:

1. Try Spotify and look for a way - I'm from Czech republic so I can't even pay for the service. Same with Pandora. No go. :mad:

2. Modify Spotify to support OpenWatch API. I could easily do that but I guess they wouldn't be happy to see someone else modifying and releasing their stuff. It could be released as a patch but anyway...

3. Use key injection on rooted devices. This sort of works but there are problems with unlocking the lock screen (it doesn't seem to work on all devices) and turning it off again.

This is not possible with the current API. It's possible with root so I'm thinking of such functionality.
[Android Software Development] machmandp:
The only option is to use K-9 mail.

Thanks for reply

k9 isnt a great option for me so i'll just have to do without it for now

what i really wanted to know is are you planning to add exchange support now its standard with 2.1

thanks
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
machmandp:

The application on Android 2.1 that handles Exchange is Email app (com.android.email). But there's no way how to intercept new e-mails (no API, no broadcasted intents, no content provider) - except to modify this app. That's exactly what guys from K-9 did, they took the Email app (it's open source) and enhanced it. Based on my request, they added a feature and it's possible to get notifications of incoming E-mails. You can do the same with other requests.
[Android Software Development] machmandp:
ok thanks

i suppose i'll give k9 a better try although it's not working with my Kerio Mail setup but i'll keep trying

One last question (I hope)

When i recieve a SMS the watch does not notify me by display or vibrate

but if i press the top right button it scrolls through the date and time and then shows the Last SMS

is this a known issue ?

thanks for all your help
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
machmandp:

If you see the message after the presses, then the notification works - but you've just missed it.

Try the "Test" function in OpenWatch. Does it vibrate and do you see an envelope? If no, then turn on the vibrate/envelope in the watch menu (the envelope with "X" cross on it).
[Android Software Development] machmandp:
hehe feel a it of a plank now

i always had that turned off when using smartwatchm so i didnt get the envelope displayed so yes it was off

now its on it works fine

thanks

Sorted K9 for now to an extent i have exchange mail syncing both ways and K9 just syncing incoming as i cant get k9 to sync outgoing

but at least k9 now notifys me via openwatch which will do until i can work out how to get outgoing working

thanks for all the help
