I have had mine for a few weeks as a hacker backer. Its awesome. I'm using Augmented SmartWatch Pro and it delivers everything I had with OpenWatch and my MBW-150.
[Android Software Development] Raudi1:
Thanks for the tip. When I get my Pebble, I will try the app. Then we just have to wait for pebble to publish their native app sdk, or upgrade their android sdk, so we can get button presses and sensor data etc. And of course we have to wait for new firmwares to enable sms reply etc.
[Android Software Development] dr_Henio:
The watch is paired with the phone. Mbw-150 is on the list of paired.

And I still have to write 0000. Each time, After switching or when I return in the range phone
[Android Software Development] roelstijl:
Amazing app, used it for years. Grinded through 3 MBW-150 watches and still going strong. It did wondering with the watch, especially with all notifications pushed. However, with Jellybean Not all notifications are sent (notably the music player's are not), and the watch also drops, and sometimes won't reconnect until a reboot. This watch and the application are amazing. So I'm hoping theres a chance of a a small update that might link to the new jellybean API more closely.

A fan
[Android Software Development] wing_addict_usa:
I love openwatch. Used it back in the day on the g2. Couldn't use it on my g1, i forget why. Anyways, I hope the developer comes back and adds support for the g-shock bluetooth watch. I had a pebble but I hated the look. The mbw was a beautiful watch. Now I want to get a g-shock

I can't connect my MW 150 to my Xperia U phone. It gets paired but doesn't connect. Any tips?
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
Since Google changed it's permissions, not even the modified versions of Gmail (in this same subforum) have triggered the email notifications on my MBW-150 with OpenWatch. Has anyone been able to get them working?
[Android Software Development] wing_addict_usa:
man hows your watch display still working?
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
None of my watch displays work, but the vibration is enough to let me know to check my phone, which I keep on vibrate at work.
[Android Software Development] wing_addict_usa:
Nice. You might have bought my watch with a dim display on ebay a while ago.

Hello to all,

Is there an alternative program, because I can not connect my watch Prada with my Galaxy S4 whether with or OpenWatch BTLink. :(
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
I guess Moneytoo has moved on to other things. :( Even though my display has long since died, all of my notifications still vibrate, except for Gmail. I assume that's because of the new APIs that were never updated in OpenWatch. Is the source available and is there anyone willing and able to update the code to handle Gmail notifications?

The vibration is good enough for me, until somebody either comes up with a display fix for the MBW-150 or another classic looking watch with the same or better features.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
[MENTION=546635]JimSmith94[/MENTION]: How about accessibility? That should respond to any notification in the bar.
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
Hi Moneytoo! I'm so glad you're still following this thread. I assume you mean to turn on OpenWatch in Accessibility-Services. When I do that it says that Air View will be disabled. I think that's only for the S Pen which I rarely use, so I'll give it a shot. Thank you sir!
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
Sorry, Moneytoo, unless you meant something else, that didn't work. Of course I can't see anything on my watch display, but I never feel any vibration when I get a new Gmail. I do get the icon in my phone's notification bar when a new email comes in. Any other ideas?
[Android Software Development] crypta:
Great app over the years! But I do have some problem under 4.3/ cm 10.2: I can't find it under accessibility.

So I feel unable to forward system notifications of other, not supported programs.

Do you have any clue for me?
[Android Software Development] lNOFXl:
Working for texts for me, HTC One 4.4.2GPE and MBW-150. I do wish there could be a slight update to get new things running. Gmail/Hangouts/Facebook messenger would be nice to have working properly... im sure its all possible with tasker but i mean... im not about to go pay for tasker just to get my old bluetooth watch working just for vibrations lol. My screen finally just recently started fading so for messeges to pop up i dont really care for, just want my beautiful looking watch to vibrate to my notifications.:cyclops:

btw just to get openwatch to show back up in accessibility would be nice
[Android Software Development] JimSmith94:
I'd like to get Gmail notifications working too. With all of the new smart watches coming out, I still prefer the look and feel of my MBW-150. I may have to bite the bullet and get a Pebble Steel or Samsung Gear 2 or Gear Neo. They have the closest to a real watch look that I have seen, plus I have to put on my reading glasses to read the display, and the newer watches do have larger text.
[Android Software Development] lNOFXl:
Same here, the watch just looks/feels like... Well, a watch lol! But like i said if openwatch were to just show back up in accessibility then at least it could vibrate for all notifications.
[Android Software Development] abhishek.hitman:
I have just now e-mailed to smartmadsoft via their e-mail ID on the website. Hopefully i'll get a reply from them.

I requested them to update the app to the latest version of Android so that the missing feature like Openwatch not showing up in Accessibility can be fixed in the newer version.
[Android Software Development] MacCool:
Any news? Or are there any open source alternatives?

Can openwatch android be used with this watch

I cannot post links but the watch i got is off dealextreme and its sku.23915

I bought this watch thinking it was similar the the other one posted on the site. Now I can get the droid to pair and connect as a headset but openwatch doesn't recognize the watch.

What should I be doing?

Thank You in advance

G1 / MBW 150 not connecting

Can't get the phone and watch to connect.

I have a G1 running Android 2.1 and a MBW 150.

Bluetooth is on. The watch is paired. I hit start. Says waiting for connection. Press a key on watch to connect, but it never connects. No messages are displayed on the phone. OpenWatch just says the watch is disconnected.

Is there some other magic needed here?

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] htcmen:
very n1 tool !!! thx

if alarm on the telephon(motorola milestone), is the alarm notification on the clock (SE-MBW 150 classic in white) very short!

is it possible to extend??

Hi, i have a Citizen i:Virt M, is there anything planned to support this?
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Probably not any time soon.

If there will be Android 2.x update then yes.

Fixed. There's also changelog link in the About dialog in OpenWatch BTW.

The problem is that it might not be possible to detect the end of the alarm.

This is the same model as LM958. Currently it's unsupported in OpenWatch.
[Android Software Development] htcmen:
this is for a alarm notification not good:(

by the clock!?

is the Allerta InPulse compatible with OpenWatch??

the SE-MBW-150 is very buggy
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
It's not even out yet.

What's buggy about it?
[Android Software Development] _KNT_:
O_O omigod... my geek sense tingling... But again vendor lock out, so I've left them a comment: inpulse dot tumblr dot com/post/222973266/how-are-you-going-to-use-your-inpulse#comment-31066336 * (they started it! :P)

But seriously, moneytoo: I hope you will find the time and resources to make it work with OpenWatch when it arrives.

* too new to post the link properly
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Who cares about the inPulse anyway. There will be way better (micro SD, accelerometer, buttons...) fully customizable open source Bluetooth watch Dynawa TCH1 (dynawa.org). :D
[Android Software Development] _KNT_:
Let me say this:

Didn't know it existed :P

It's nice but the difference is availability: inPulse will be available in Ferbuary. TCH1? Chutulu knows... And you will get more support requests for the inPulse.

Although I've subscribed to the blog and mailing list. If it hits a more user-friendly status and a smaller package (lets say a big wrist watch, no more) then I'll choose it over any BT-Watch.
[Android Software Development] dusanzk:
Hi,

First of all i just wanna say thank you very much for all your hard work.

I have used OpenWatch v0.4.4 with my Nexus One and it works really well with the MBW-150.

I have recently started to use the Prada Link and it also works really well, i was just wondering if there are any plans to make it possible to view messages, not just the notification, on the Prada Link ?

Thanks again
[Android Software Development] summonkey:
Could we get a edit of the first post of all the tested and supported watches. I want to buy one but don't know what ones are supported. I got a few from the posts but I have also seen some you say that are not. I give mad props for this and sad that the Citizen is not supported. As soon as I get this hooked up will be happy to toss you a few bucks for this awesome app.
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
All the supported watches already are listed in Requirements in the first post. Citizen is not supported.

I'm not sure if it will be added some time soon. I would have to use again non documented features and spend time fixing and tweaking it. I don't have much time for any of this.
[Android Software Development] dusanzk:
Never mind, in any case it's still an amazing app and thank you for releasing it :)
[Android Software Development] dusanzk:
Hey, does anyone know what's new in v.0.4.4 ?

Hey, ever since i updated to v.0.5.0, the battery on my MBW-150 has been extremely bad, i took the watch off the charger at 10 this morning and it's 18:00 now and the battery is already dead

Maybe i haven't set something right or maybe it's not even related to the update.

Does anyone else have this problem ?
[Android Software Development] imdbui:
Doesn't stay connected

Thank you moneytoo! I thought my watch was only good for telling time after I switched from WM to the Nexus One.

I've been using OpenWatch for a week now, and have noticed that my watch disconnects from the phone after a few minutes of being connected. I would then have to push a button on the watch to "wake" it up and then watch and phone will re-connect again. Not sure if this is supposed to be normal, never had that issue with WM. Sucks because I don't get alerts if the watch is disconnected.

Am I the only one with this problem?

I'm using:

MBW-150 Executive

Firmware v. 1201-3478:01

OpenWatch v0.5.0

Nexus One - rooted- stock ROM

Thanks for any suggestions!
[Android Software Development] navahoo:
the same - more or less - is happening to me too!

since updated to 0.5.0 my n1 is loosing connection sometimes and i have to press a button to reconnect it...!?!

but mine is a out of the box unrooted device!
[Android Software Development] thklinge:
I used openwatch on my Xperia X1 Windows Mobile device and was very happy! It was fast, stable and didn't use much battery. I've since switched to the HTC Hero which wasn't compatible with openwatch, but now that I use the Google Nexus One I installed openwatch for Android.

There are some problems though. I haven't had the disconnecting problems that the last posts talk about. But the battery consumption on the phone is terrible! It won't last more than 12-18 hours and that's when using the phone sparingly! I checked with "spare parts" and found that even though the phone is in standby mode (power button pressed, display off), openwatch still keeps the phone awake 100% of the time. I shut down openwatch and tested the phone in standby again. The awake time dropped to 1,5%!

How can it stay always connected on WM and not use much power while the same on Android draws like crazy?
[Android Software Development] dobik:
Hi, I use Samsung i5700 with Android 1.5, pls could you help me if it is also available aplication to connect SE MBW with that older version ? Ths (open watch needs 2.0)
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
Yes, this feature is possible and already implemented in OpenWatch.

Power management in OpenWatch v0.5.0:

The latest version 0.5.0 correctly handles power management to faster up watch responses and speed up the reconnection.

1) There's new option in Settings for keeping the device awake when disconnected. When enabled, this keeps the cpu awake only if the watch is disconnected and OpenWatch is still running.

Even in the "cpu awake" mode, the battery usage is not that high to drain the battery in one day. Android device keeping the cpu on for 24 hours with radio on will consume 10-20 % (tested on Motorola Milestone).

2) Because of device power management the watch responses were slow on Motorola Milestone (20 seconds to display the unread messages screen) there's other lock for keeping the device awake. After receiving a command from the watch, OpenWatch will keep the device awake for the next 5 seconds and then will switch back to sleep.

Because this shouldn't cause any battery drain, there's no option for that. You can see the switching in logcat if you want to check it works properly ("lock acquired/released").

I'm planning on buying one of the MBW 150's for my Moto Droid, but i'm not sure which version I should get.

Can someone help? I have a SE MBW-150 that I used with my old p990. Since I got the G1, I have been unable to use it. I finally got fed up with this, and rooted my phone to put the KingKlick 2.1 ROM on my phone. The ROM is awesome, but I still cannot get openwatch to work. I've tried reinstalling, rebooting, heck I even tried using an older version of openwatch (I saw that somewhere on here), but nothing seemed to work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be that apps run off the SD on this ROM? Please help!

hello,

I'm triying to get it work on Hero with 2.1 Rom. Openwatch is showing that watch are not connected but when someone is calling me, they are working. When they are idle, they are not synchronizing time and date, but watch are showing that they are conneted to the phone... Any ideas? I think it should be related to the unofficial 2.1 Rom, but I just wanted to ask if anyone else is having same problem :)

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] moneytoo:
What watch do you have? Do you have real SE MBW and not the fake/cheap one?

I will check if there's any way.

No. And it won't be.
[Android Software Development] basrik:
I've got the real one.

Now i'm using the villian ROM 3.3.

It keep saying Paired but not connected.
[Android Software Development] pastynko:
I've got real one too... still no luck and same thing, paired but not connected. When I open openwatch and hit start, it will show me waiting for connection and it is showing disconnected status, BUT, when someone is calling me, it shows me name and number on the watch! so it looks like it is connected, but in some strange way?! openwatch is showing not connected all the time... I think the problem is in the ROM, as the kernel is using old sources, we will need to wait for HTC official release and then it will hopefully work :)

Thanks!

Hi MoneyToo,

I have moved from windows mobile to android just a few days ago & noticed some issues. the follwing is my setup:

1. HTC Legend stock standard Asia(Android 2.1)

2. SE MBW-150 classic 1st version (black face)

3. Openwatch 0.50

The issue i have is, openwatch was installed succesfully & MBW-150 was paired successfully but says not connected. In openwatch, it says openwatch launced, when start button is pressed it does not say watch is connected but when the phone rings, the watch works. It does not work when sms is received. Also, test button does not not do anything.

Is there a remedy for this? Have i missed something?

thanks,
