How much for the watch?

[moneytoo]

$50 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26316)

[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

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. :)

[JoshHart]

Definitely ordering one of these watches, this is sick.

[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)

[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/

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.:(

[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.

[masterofmayhem]

When do you think the rest of us will be able to use OpenWatch?

[Azralag]

Ive been waiting for an app like this so I can pair my G1 with a sony ericsson watch.

[ytwytw]

WONDERFUL！！！

Is that the only BT watch working on android?

so ugly...

Can you recommend one fully functional perfect BT watch for both WM and Android?

WANNA BUY ONE&DONATE for SURE

[moneytoo]

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. ;)

[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 :]

[ThrashWolf]

Gonna grab that watch when I'm paid, brilliant idea :D

[YaakovB]

I just ordered the watch from the link that was on the first page :)
Ill let you guys know how it goes :)

btw thanks moneytoo

[masterofmayhem]

I know there are bluetooth issues with android. Is there a way to get OpenWatch working with the SE watches for rooted phones?

[Josasp]

I cant wait for full SmartWatchM functionality on Android.
I'ts the only thing holding me agaist getting a Hero.

So no pressure moneytoo ;)

[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?

[moneytoo]

Yes, LM957 and LM958 are the same.

[ranger7424]

Anyone know where to get the LM957 all I have been able to locate is product specs.

[ffff00]

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

[CrazyEye]

Nice butterflies

and watch :p

[tabashir]

Thanks for clearing that up moneytoo!

[moneytoo]

It's close, Android 2.0 makes MBW-100/150/200 support in OpenWatch possible! ;)

[Odalovic21]

Just got beta from Smartbadsoft and works great :D
I have Droid 2.0 and MBW-150 Classic Edition

Phone works - Display Name
SMS works - Display Full SMS with name and message content :)
Music Player - Works great: Play, Stop, Forward , Reverse
Email show up as envelope

Thanks

Not possible features
- Reject(/accept) incoming call

Could you tell why there are such limitations?

[moneytoo]

Could you tell why there are such limitations?

3rd party applications on Android are not permitted to do that (use the TelephonyManager for that nor inject key press).

[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!

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.

http://wiki.msp430.com/index.php/EZ430-Chronos?DCMP=Chronos&HQS=Other+PR+chronoswiki-pr

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 :)

[moneytoo]

OpenWatch 0.3.0 is out. :D

[dinomight]

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

[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...

[jsg7377]

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!

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. ;)

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.

[Fraction]

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....

[c99koder]

I've added support for the OpenWatch API to the official Last.fm Android app. You should be able to view track info on your watch, and skip / stop tracks with the watch's media controls. This will be available when we release the next update in the next few weeks.

Edit: A few users have tested this build with their watches and confirmed that it works. Thanks for testing!

[moneytoo]

About the Pandora player: I'm not sure if I will be able to do anything with this. The problem is, to try the control features I need to run Pandora first. But since Pandora is US only... :(
I can make Pandora running fine on desktop, iPhone and WM but for some reasons the VPN I use doesn't work in Android and other things I tried didn't worked (probably Pandora checks few more things than I patched in the binary). And I'm not willing to pay just to use different VPN...

[Escaladez2]

http://hackaday.com/2009/02/17/hackit-hackable-bluetooth-bracelet/

The challenge has been completed. Someone found a way to send ascii (letters and some symbols if I understand correctly) to the watch. It would be fantastic if someone wrapped what he did into OpenWatch.

Hello...I am using v 0.3.3 on a Motorola Milestone/Droid with a SE MBW-150. Its works perfect but the clock battery drains WERY fast...

[guyhoang]

Just got my MBW-150 Executive. Your app is awesome!

Do I have to do anything special for the watch to preview the text? All I get right now is the mail icon.

Thanks!

Please keep working on this! I am ready to donate!
I have a G1 with Cyanogen and just got a MBW-150 watch for Christmas today!

:mad: I thought basic caller ID would work out of the box but I guess not. Hopefully Cyanogen goes Android 2.0 very soon or you can make it work on Donut.

I am very sad and was very excited to use my watch but I can't! :(

MBW-150 Update is the later version of MBW-150 Classic (in white). There are some behavior differences between the old and new version however it's currently not implemented since these features are not used.

One idea, make the battery bar a signal bar. Since I won't be pulling my phone out of my pocket, I would like knowing that it is connected.

[moneytoo]

Fancy a graphical logo? :D Now possible with 0.4.0.

Maybe you could use the new <OperatorName/> tag for this... I wanted to include signal strength indicator but receiving the signal strength value but it seems to me too battery draining. I will investigate...

Edit: It's not possible to read signal strength on Android. They removed it from 2.0 but it could be back some day...

[_KNT_]

Crazy idea, but nice if someone would have two phones:
A client-server architecture via bluetooth. OpenWatch is on phone A connected to the watch, but also is paired with phone B, witch sends notifications to A to appear on the watch.

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.

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

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.

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.

[scoty024]

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.

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.

[wing_addict_usa]

LOL placebo effect. :)

[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".

[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.

It supports gtalk and gmail.

Hello,

There is a version for Android 1.6 (Acer Liquid) ?

[ffyter]

Android 1.6 does not support the need bluetooth protocols so this only works on android 2.0 and above.

[khazai]

Ok, thank you

[navahoo]

runs like a charm on my nexus!

especially media player control works much better as on my htc thd with wm 6.x and each song will be displayed as soon as it starts.

but i recognized that the messages won´t be displayed when media player control is in use. normal?

but anyway - once again thanks a lot for creating this awesome app!!! :)

Unable to connect my MBW-150 to Hero on rom HERO 2.1 Community 1.8

[mobilx]

What about the rooted g1 with 1.6. BT is unlocked? Is it possible or you must use SDK 2.0 API's?

[bufodill]

Can't wait to get my nexus one next week, so I finally can use my SE watch again. It's mainly been lying in my drawer since I sold my htc touch hd and got myself a magic.

You're the man, will absolutely paypal you a beer when I've gotten it up and running!

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

[ol2]

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.

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

Let me say this: Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
Bridgekeeper: Huh? I... I don't know that.
[he is thrown over]
Bridgekeeper: Auuuuuuuugh.
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.

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

[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.

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.

[dusanzk]

Never mind, in any case it's still an amazing app and thank you for releasing it :)

Hey, does anyone know what's new in v.0.4.4 ?

Can't seem to find a changelog anywhere

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 ?

[imdbui]

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!

[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!

[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?

[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)

[moneytoo]

You said it would not be possible to reject an incoming call, would it be possible to Mute an incoming call?..Ive got a HD2 and plannin to flash android on it as soon as its available.

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. I really like the idea of having the music controls, but I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to spend the extra $50 for that alone. What would you guys recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

[masterofmayhem]

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!

[masterofmayhem]

I ended up getting openwatch to work (i don't know how it happened...but i am not complaining). Now, the question I cannot figure out is how to assign icons to callers. Does anyone know how to do this?

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 :)

I've got the real one.
Now i'm using the villian ROM 3.3.

It keep saying Paired but not connected.

[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 :)

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?

Press the upper button of the watch (Prada Link) thus it connects to the phone.

No, does not make any difference.

[Wishmaster2]

What does the watch say? (e.g. "cannot connect"???)

The way it worked on my Milestone with my Prada Link under Android 2.0, 2.0.1 and the latest 2.1:

1.) install openwatch
2.) goto the bluetooth settings of the phone and pair with the watch (sure, it cannot connect)
3.) open openwatch, goto settings and select "Prada Link" as the device
4.) in openwatch, press menu and START
5.) press the upper button of the watch to connect

e.g. try to uninstall openwatch, reboot the phone and install openwatch again

The only problem I got is, that it often disconnects e.g. after opening the market, installing a new app or opening an app

it looks like there is problem with HTC Sense, because when I try it with AOSP 2.1 Rom on my Hero, it is working fine. On HTC Sense enabled Rom I'm unable to get it work. Looks like Sense is blocking communication between Openwatch and MBW-150, as it works (when someone is calling me, I can see it on MBW-150), but there is no notification on the phone and watch are not picking up the time.

MoneyToo, any chance you can test this on HTC Sense enabled device? Or should we send you some kind of log?

Thanks in advance for you reply!

[moneytoo]

Regarding OpenWatch and Android 2.x devices with HTC Sense:
I currently own HTC Dream & HTC Tattoo and I'm able to test it on Motorola Milestone. I can flash any ROM to any of these devices. There are some Android 2.1 ROMs with working Bluetooth and some ROMs with HTC Sense.
The problem is that there's no Android 2.x ROM for Dream/Tattoo/Milestone with both BT and Sense. Seems like there's a connection... But I can't test it right now.

Hello. Long-time user, first time poster. I've been a fan since your version for WM. I recently bought a Nexus One and of course your app was the first I installed. :)

I've found something a little odd with this program on my phone though. When I have no emails unread, the watch (mbw-150) says I have 6. However many unread emails I do happen to have gets added to that base number of 6.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi all

HTC Desire and an MBW-150 Classic Update (white face)

Openwatch seems to be running great despite the problems some other people have had with SenseUI (mind you, I've only had it for about an hour so there's plenty of time for things to go wrong yet).

The only real problem I've got is that email notifications aren't showing the correct sender and subject line on the watch. They appear find on the phone, but on the watch they always appear as the same email - one from Amazon a couple of days ago. It's flagged as read, so I'm not sure why OpenWatch is picking that one up!

I'm using a Google Apps for your domain account, if that makes any difference.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I have a Desire too and a MBW-150 Executive. As you I have no problem to get it to run. However the watch-battery lasts less than a day.

Before this I used the mbw-150 together with an Xperia X1 and there I got more than a week from the watch between the charges.

The only real problem I've got is that email notifications aren't showing the correct sender and subject line on the watch. They appear find on the phone, but on the watch they always appear as the same email - one from Amazon a couple of days ago. It's flagged as read, so I'm not sure why OpenWatch is picking that one up!

I'm using a Google Apps for your domain account, if that makes any difference.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Phil

Same problem here, with a 2.1 G1. Getting Desire tomorrow, will see what happens with that.

Hi Moneytoo! I loved the app for WinMo, and now I'm an android fan.
Thanks to you, I can still use my MBW-150.
I have a Nexus One, and almost everything is working OK, but I have some issues I'd like you to check if you ever made a new version:
1.- When I have an incomming call, I get a strange sign before showing the caller id, when before was the legend "incomming call"
2.- I installed a media player called Cubed (3) and now the watch not only doesn't control the media, but if I close the program the watch doesn't control the system volume. I've used an A2DP handsfree remote control to change the media in that player and it works OK, what do you think it may be happening?
and last, I have the same issue with unread e-mails, it doesn't seem to update the quantity.
I'd be very grateful if you gave me an opinion about this.
Thanks a lot!

Will you add more support to Prada link with this soft like consulting gmail sense meteo and reject call.
Thx this is a great app !!!

[BTW lover]

I have contacted the developer of my preferred RSS reader app NewsRob and asked him if he would consider implementing OpenWatch support into his app. He told me that if people are interested, he would consider doing it.:)

If you like a RSS/Google Reader app with OpenWatch support, please register and vote for my idea on newsrob.uservoice.com

Hi,

Is there any update to why HTC Legend & MBW-150 Classic (black face) is not working? Waiting for it to be functional so i can again make a donation. I'm sure there quite a few HTC Legend fans also waiting for this fix.

cheers,
Su

Here's the link for supporting NewsRob: http://newsrob.uservoice.com/forums/35624-general/suggestions/686002-pretty-please-add-support-for-open-watch?ref=title

flyguye:
There's not much I can do right now. I have no idea why it wouldn't work.
I have no access to HTC Desire nor Legend so I have to wait for official update of HTC Tattoo or ROM with Sense for my other device.

But... I suspect the Bluetooth API might be somehow broken. Can you try and confirm whatever another 3rd party Bluetooth apps work? Can application "Bluetooth File Transfer" send files to other devices?

[flyguye]

Hi MoneyToo,

Thanks for your quick reply, I dont know which BT "apps" you are refering to but my BT Headset works fine & so does file transfer to other devices via BT. Hope this helps a bit. I'll look forward to some promising updates from you. I have have been a long term user of smartWatch on my previous windows mobile & you have always provided great support. So believe you will soon find a fix.

cheers,
su

[DJGibbon]

Moneytoo: I'm more than willing to help out with running any debug code you may have if it'd help (I'm a programmer, but not on Android :) ) Are there any detailed logs dropped anywhere I can send you?

After using it for a few days, it seems to be consistent on each connect, but can fall into a few different connection states:

- Displaying an old email subject instead of the current one
- Displaying no email subject, just the envelope (most common)
- Connecting then immediately disconnecting (only usually does this 3/4 times for me)
- Working properly (rarest state, unfortunately ;) )

I can't work out what's different each time that might make it fall into each state.

Cheers

Hi there,

I've been using the mbw-150 with my nexus one running openwatch for over a month now, and it's working great. Every now and then the watch disconnects, but nothing that pressing a button can't fix.

I don't know if anyone asked this before, but is it possible to set the watch to show the current music track when pressing a button? I apologise if this question has been asked before.

Thanks

[BTW lover]

Thx for the newsrob linking.

[alvarohm]

Is there any news on supporting spotify? Thanks

[henq]

Yes, Spotify support is really interesting!

Spotify works fine with fwd/bkw/pause on Bluetooth headphones.

[alvarohm]

hi, I'm a complete beginner in android development, so I might be mistaken here.

I managed to control spotify by sending events from adb to the phone.

I used the following command to pause spotify

adb -d shell input keyevent 85

and it worked. I'm assuming that you can inject this keyevent from openwatch. If you don't have time to do that, I'll try to create an app that starts a service that listens to the relevant events from openwatch and injects the appropriate key, but first I need to learn how to develop android apps.

I don't know if there is another way of doing that. I tried to find other events to control spotify, and couldn't find anything. I also tried to find something on how to emulate the remote control bluetooth profile, but couldn't find anything.

Cheers

ps.: these are the codes for controlling media. It seems they don't work on the music player (weird).

public static final int KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT
Constant Value: 87 (0x00000057)

Hi everyone.


I have a small problem i have HTC Legend and MBW-150

just about everything works ok but i dont get Digital time and date on my watch.

Anyine have a solution?

[mnementh]

I have a Desire too and a MBW-150 Executive. As you I have no problem to get it to run. However the watch-battery lasts less than a day.Only me having trouble with openwatch (or desire bluetooth stack) draining the watch battery?

[mattyguk]

Hi,

I'm looking at getting one of these watches, but am holding off until someone can confirm it works well with 2.1 running HTC sense.

Could i ask someone to try the following as this fixed bluetooth controls, etc... issues i've had in the past.

Pop to the market and install "headset button fix" start up the app, and click enable bluetooth headset buttons. Connect the watch, does this help with the controls at all?

[DJGibbon]

Only me having trouble with openwatch (or desire bluetooth stack) draining the watch battery?

Hi Mnementh

I've got a Classic Update rather than an Executive, but I can't imagine they're that different internally. I'm afraid my battery life is excellent, so I'm not sure what's different with yours. Are you on the stock rom?

Also, how's the battery life if the watch isn't paired to the phone? Mine will last forever (~20% battery drop over 5 days) if left like that. It might be that the phone and watch are continually dropping connection then re-syncing? That could use a lot of battery.

Of course, if you're getting so many emails/messages/calls that the watch never stops vibrating, that could use a lot of battery too ;)

Hope you find a solution

Hi Matt

I'm on a Desire with stock 2.1 with Sense, and even without that app I have no problems with buttons etc. The only problem I have is that sometimes I don't get the email subject (but the watch still vibrates and shows the icon).

Phil

[mattyguk]

Thanks Phil, I might just take a punt, and buy one this weekend then!!

TBH i skim read quite a bit as this thread is getting a little difficult to follow when you've only just found it. I must have missed some bits out.

Thanks again for updating me.

[DJGibbon]

No problem, I know what you mean - when threads get this big there's no good way of getting a proper idea of what's been going on!

FWIW there have been a couple of people who've had problems with 2.1/Sense, and both of them were Legend users . . . I and a couple of other people have had success with the Desire. Make of that what you will, but I'd want a few more data points before actually saying the Legend was at fault :)

[mathiosn]

is there a version that will run on an X10 sonyericsson with android 1.6?

That could use a lot of battery.Have been running the watch for a week now with it unpaired and the battery is as you say 3/4 full. But one thing gives me an idea... I should try turning my wlan off. I've noticed that my bluetooth handsfree looses contact sometimes when the wlan signal strength get low (ie the phone boosts the wlan output).

[Broken]

Hey, love the app. Posted a problem I have on your forum and never saw a response so will go ahead and post here.

Telus Milestone user and after updating to 2.1.1 I get random watch disconnects. Sitting there and browsing the net and watch disconnected pops up. Does it at random times. Doesn't matter if both devices fully charged or not. And then other times when phone is idle it will start to ring and that is when I noticed that it has been disconnected and I didn't know it.

Other than that it has been awesome. Thank you so much for taking your time to develop this.

Just noticed another bug, might already have been mentioned, and if so sorry. If I have the vibrate function on, I get a phone call and silence it with the watch, vibration continues until call ends or I dig the phone out of my pocket and end call. Like the idea of vibrate so on the occasion that the watch has disconnected for no reason I don't miss a call while in a noisy environment.

I've had this problem with both a G1 running 2.1 and my new Desire on 2.1. Is everyone else getting the most recent email notification rather then the oldest unread each time a new email comes in?

[DJGibbon]

Hmmm. When I posted, I meant that I was getting notifications showing an email that wasn't even unread (it had come from Amazon a few days before my watch even arrived). Now the most common situation is for me to always be notified of the oldest unread email (whereas I'd prefer to be notified of the subject lines of new ones as they arrive). Can anyone confirm what is the expected behaviour? I assumed it would be the latter, but perhaps not :)

[flyguye]

Its been awhile since there's been any news about HTC Legend & MBW-150 issues. Has anyone had any luck? Wonder if moneytoo has got his hands on a HTC legend to test the problems out?

[tabashir]

Hi,

I am wondering if the current version will ever support the LM957/LM958?

I got one of these last year but since the feature set was limited on the version for the G1 it has been in a drawer waiting until I got a phone with the 2.0 API on there.

Just tried to use it and found that it does not work and a comment in this thread says it is not supported.

Cheers in advance.

I've had this trouble too with my Droid on 2.0.1 and then 2.1. Same watches I've used with an SE W810i and HTC Touch Diamond (Raphael) with SmartWatchM 0.5.0. Both of those phones worked flawlessly with both of my MBW-150s, but OpenWatch 0.5.1 seems to randomly disconnect a few times a day with both of the same MBW-150s. It's a *great* app, so just a shame that it disconnects. A button-press will reconnect, if I notice. Would love to get a fix! Thanks for dev's hard work!

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.

Hmmm. When I posted, I meant that I was getting notifications showing an email that wasn't even unread (it had come from Amazon a few days before my watch even arrived). Now the most common situation is for me to always be notified of the oldest unread email (whereas I'd prefer to be notified of the subject lines of new ones as they arrive).

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

I've noticed that my bluetooth handsfree looses contact sometimes when the wlan signal strength get low (ie the phone boosts the wlan output).

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

is there a version that will run on an X10 sonyericsson with android 1.6?

Nope.

[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.

[jsg7377]

I remember that you tried getting Pandora to work but couldn't due to an API issue...

What about Rhapsody for Android?? I would love to Skip/Pause/Play/Rewind if possible!!

What do you think? Is it possible/worth the trouble?

[flyguye]

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

Hope this will help Moneytoo.

Hi,

i am new to android and have changed from WM. Using openwatch with a HTC Desire and MBW-150. I have no email notification with the standard email client and a pop3 account. Is it not supported? Or a wrong configuration?

Many thanks

It's just not possible with the default e-mail client. Use K9 mail. It's based on the Android default client and just enhanced.

Just thought I'd let you all know - Openwatch works perfectly with Froyo on N1. Tested today since receiving the update.

[navahoo]

received an update to 0.5.1.1 in the market.

is this because of froyo?

[Broken]

Any way to fix the issue of silencing calls with the watch but not stopping vibration on phone or bluetooth headsets continuing to ring?

really? got frf50 running on my n1 too, but it always disconnects the watch after a lil while and does not reconnect by itself again...??!

@moneytoo: do you got an idea if this is caused by the rom or by the app or what may i do to keep the connection?

[alvarohm]

Hi there, I'm sorry to insist on this subject, but I checked all the answers and couldn't find any mentioning spotify. Will there ever be support for controlling spotify with the watch?

Thanks

[DJGibbon]

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").

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://forum.xda-developers.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.

[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

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.

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 ?

The only option is to use K-9 mail.

You don't need root for that.

Hi there, I'm sorry to insist on this subject, but I checked all the answers and couldn't find any mentioning spotify. Will there ever be support for controlling spotify with the watch?

Thanks

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.

Any way to fix the issue of silencing calls with the watch but not stopping vibration on phone or bluetooth headsets continuing to ring?

This is not possible with the current API. It's possible with root so I'm thinking of such functionality.

[machmandp]

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

[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.

[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

[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).

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

The 0.6.0 work flawlessly on froyo. From when I updated it yesterday till now, I had no more disconnections.

[rabidfurball]

So I found this app today and now I really want one of these watches, though they are quite expensive...

I was looking around and found a good deal ($99) on a refurbished MBW-150 Music Bluetooth Watch at icraveit, and was wondering if anyone else has bought it from here... I don't want to buy something that doesn't work...

Still can't get it to work on my Legend,

- Put my watch in pair mode
- Go to bluetooth settins menu and pair it
- Go to Openwatch and press start
- It says "watch disconnected"

Tried MBW-150 and update MBW-150...and yes it's a real one with five buttons

And that's it....:(

Hi, I love cool apps and ideas like these, so I can't shake the idea of getting one of these watches for myself. I'm looking for one of the mbw 150 ones, preferably the white face one with the brown leather band. Anyone know where to find one?

[ercaciotta]

GTalk notification doesn't seem to work with my N1 (Froyo) and my MBW-150.
Does anyone have similar problems?

thanks for your help!

ps. btw. great app! - I love it when people look astonished when i see on my watch who is calling :-))

[Zwiebelsupp]

3rd party applications on Android are not permitted to do that (use the TelephonyManager for that nor inject key press).

Thanx for that fantastic tool, works perfectly with my mbw-150 & htc desire.

Just two short questions:

Is it possible to reject a call with OpenWatch when I install the TelephonyManager?

Where's the paypal donation button on this site?

[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!

just update, with official 2.1 ROM for HERO OpenWatch is working like a charm!!!

[stultz]

unfortunately for me the only place I found a mbw150 for a reasonable price in the US is now out of stock. They say they'll get more but I doubt it.

Thanks for letting us know! ;)

GTalk notification doesn't seem to work with my N1 (Froyo) and my MBW-150.
Does anyone have similar problems?

thanks for your help!

ps. btw. great app! - I love it when people look astonished when i see on my watch who is calling :-))

It's pretty possible. I will try to check that.

Thanx for that fantastic tool, works perfectly with my mbw-150 & htc desire.

Just two short questions:

Is it possible to reject a call with OpenWatch when I install the TelephonyManager?

Where's the paypal donation button on this site?

What TelephonyManager? It's not possible to reject a call with current API. Key simulation works (with root access)... for everything except the End call button. Too bad.

[lanesa]

Let us hope there will be a fix for the Legend! Great app, I have been using it for a long time on my WM. Need it for my Legend though=)

Here here... me too legend rocks! & thats what i think even though i have a Desire as well.

Hi moneytoo

LOVING the twitter notifications - best feature in the program at the moment! For the next version is it possible to customise so that you're only alerted on DMs/@mentions, or is it not possible to tell when you pick up the notifications?

I'm still getting very high Partial Wake usage on my phone, which is causing shorter battery life. I'm working around this by underclocking when the screen's off, which is helping a bit, but it's still short. Is it necessary to hold onto a partial wake lock to stay paired? Is it possible to release the lock to let the phone sleep, but still stay connected?

Cheers

Phil

If you can't connect your SE MBW using OpenWatch, please help me find out what's wrong with some HTC Legend (or other models).

1) Try this version: http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/test/OpenWatch.apk
Any change?

2) Connect your phone to the PC, run following command and post the output. Unfortunately this will require root. Skip this if you don't have one.
adb shell
su
sdptool browse local

3) This one would be the most useful for me.
Start BT connection in OpenWatch (the grayed out icon should be displayed in the notification bar). Go to System settings, BT and make your phone discoverable.
Run this on linux machine and post the output
sdptool browse

You should set what to sync in the Twitter app.

OpenWatch sets partial wake only for the shortest needed time, but not when the watch is connected, screen is off and there's no communication.
You can see this partial wake "lock acquired" and "lock released" from OpenWatch (tag "ow") in logcat to check if the partial wake lock is released or not.

Thanks a lot for the response! I'd had a look at logcat but coudn't find anything openw* or *watch :)

This is from a quick test I just did with logcat -v time ow:V *:S

Booted phone
Opened OpenWatch
Pressed Menu -> Start
Pressed Play/Stop on watch (connected)
Sent myself a test email (got notification on watch)
Waited for notification to clear
Pressed Play/Stop on watch to check counts
Pressed Menu -> Stop & Exit in OpenWatch

06-21 13:19:47.567 D/ow ( 657): lock released

As you can see, there seems to be an additional lock which is acquired when I click "Menu->Start" and released when I click "Stop & Exit". There are also locks acquired when I press Play/Stop, which I'd expect since the phone and watch are directly communication then. I'm assuming it's this "top level" lock which is preventing the phone from sleeping and causing the short battery life.

Can anyone else duplicate this effect?

Cheers

Phil

Thanks, DJGibbon for the very detail info. I will (try to) fix it and ask you to retest it. ;)

If you want to send me a version with additional logging etc I'm more than happy to run it and send you the output. Anything I can do to help!

I can confirm it as a bug. The fixed version is here: http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/
Android Market version will be updated later.

[DJGibbon]

Awesome! Look forward to getting the latest version from the market :)

Thanks for dealing with this, the improved battery life should be well worth a donation IMHO ;)

I have searched and I haven't found an answer on how to dismiss Appointment reminders. They continue to display in the watch even after I dismiss them on my phone (HTC EVO).

Finally. 1.0 is here. :D OpenWatch now gets the most of Android platform. There's nothing major that's missing and can be done. And here some details...

Ability to reject a phone call! Thanks to a tip from user bstoke. (Currently for SE MBW only.)

Thanks to DJGibbon, power consumption is fixed.

Did you get the fake MBW-150 from Thinkgeek or somewhere else? OpenWatch now supports LM Technologies watches. It's even a bit better than on Windows Mobile, you can customize the line with unread counters.

Also the hidden cid (private number) case was fixed.

I don't think I got any notifications which set this off, the first I knew of it was when I got the phone disconnected buzz on my watch. Once this has happened I have to quit OpenWatch and turn the Bluetooth off and on again, otherwise I can't reconnect.

Any thoughts welcome :)

Thanks for looking into the Legend difficulties moneytoo, really appriciate that.

I am in the process of moving from one city to another, and it seems I have packed my watch in box X, hence I have no idea where it is at the moment. I will assist in whatever testing you require once I am properly installed in my new appartment.

i.e., I have tried the last version, and is unaware if the issues are already resolved or not..

Good day, just wanted to let you know that OpenWatch for Android works very well on the Samsung Galaxy S. No bugs observed thus far and no disconnects for over 48 hours (since I installed it), where on the Motorola Milestone (my old phone) it happened for at least 2-3 times a day, now I am starting to think it was more of a Milestone issues then anything else.

Keep up the great work!

Hey Moneytoo,

As a long time user of SmartWatchM, I'm glad to see it now on Android and working even better. I was wondering if the following are possible:

- Reverse media player controls on watch (Next/Prev track). I requested this for SmartWatchM and you managed to implement it in record time!

- Auto-lock phone when disconnected. This was another great feature of SmartWachM, it would be great if OpenWatch could also do this and maybe define an app to launch if this happens (e.g. something that would email GPS location if phone is stolen)

- Spotify support!


All in all, I think I prefer OpenWatch, I found SmartWatchM actually had too many features which made it more fiddly (using volume buttons to change functionality). OpenWatch has been working perfectly on my UK HTC Desire (stock ROM), no connection issues and great perfomance.

Many thanks!

[Tratas88]

First, big thanks for the fantastic application, I love the new kind of gadget for me :-)
Question: I own a MBW-100 which is imho the nicest watch in Sonys portfolio but because of the very basic 3-button-controls I would like to disable the music control, which I find unnessesary for me. Is there a hidden Option somewhere to disable them?

First, big thanks for the fantastic application, I love the new kind of gadget for me :-)

Uncheck Music notifications, this will disable the music controls too.

- Reverse media player controls on watch (Next/Prev track). I requested this for SmartWatchM and you managed to implement it in record time!

Not planned for OpenWatch. 99% of people is happy with the controls.

- Auto-lock phone when disconnected. This was another great feature of SmartWachM, it would be great if OpenWatch could also do this and maybe define an app to launch if this happens (e.g. something that would email GPS location if phone is stolen)

I tried that. I can enable the lock programmatically but it resets the lock pattern (so any pattern unlocks the phone).
I guess it will be possible supporting some 3rd party security app that has some API.

- Spotify support!

Spotify is not available in my country. (Same with Pandora) I won't do anything unless I will be able to (normally) launch and test the app.

Hi!

I'm running OpenWatch perfectly on my Acer Liquid with the 2.1 LCR rom and a MBW-150.

I'm a previous user of the wm version and I really like the Android version.

What I'm missing though is an option to hide the notification icon. A lot of apps have this feature and I can not find any option for that in your app.

I'd love a feature like that.

The notification icon is required to keep the application running in the background without any interruption.

Nice, I had to close the openwatch task to deactivate the setting, its working as you said, thanks!

I'm using a fake MBW-150 and I'm following all the steps to connect. After going through 1-7 all that happens is the 'watch disconnected' and 'waiting for connection' messages loop for about a minute and then nothing unless I stop and exit and then after pressing start start again the same thing just happens again. Any suggestions?
